Idling out after 30-60 minutes.
|
I'm not sure this is a zMUD issue, but any advice on this problem would be really appreciated.
I am constantly logged out of a game after 30-60 minutes of being idle. Also, when I'm timed out.. it doesn't actually disconnect me until I try to enter a command.
Now, on my other computer, I can be idle all day if I want, and I'm never logged out.
Any ideas about what's causing this, zMUD-related or not, are really appreciated!

It's probably something related to your computer's TCP/IP implementation, and not your MUD or Zmud. Often when a connection fails there is no way to know that it has closed until you try to send something through it. If it only happend after being idle for 30 mins, you can try an alarm that sends a command to the mud every few minutes.
#ALARM {*10:00} {wave}
This will send the command wave every ten minutes. |

Thanks for the trigger - I didn't even think about trying that out. I was pretty sure it wasn't just a zMUD thing, but wanted to make sure. Thanks again. :)

You can also send something more inocuous such as %cr or #CR
