[1.34] Resetting Data Records on Connect
|
My combat system for Lusternia uses a number of data records to store information about my current state, affliction cures, etc. On logon, some of these have a habit of being erased (as in, the variable exists, but no value exists inside. It's blank). It only seems to happen on connect to the mud, possibly an increased chance while the settings window is open. Anyone else having a similar problem? I really don't want to have to continuously re-enter data records every time they're removed. Curiously enough, my main data record of 160 entries has not been affected - just the ones below 50 entries. Thoughts?

Do you have use default set in the variable options? This would cause that behavior.

Nothing is set under default. Use Default is not checked. |

I have no problems with variables being reset when they shouldn't be reset. I'm having problems that they're NOT resetting when they SHOULD. I wonder if the two things are related.

It only seems to happen to me on connect - I often switch between Zmud and Cmud, so I just use file-reconnect along with Mudbot so I don't lose connection. It happens a few times a day - I had to put an alert in my prompt to let me know when the variables erased themselves so I could re-input the values.

Until you figure out how and why the records are being erased BETWEEN connections.
You could try something like this in the onconnect and ondisconnect events
//atdisconnect
| Code: |
#file 6 backup.rec
#erase 6
#write 6 {@db1} 1
#write 6 {@db2} 2
#write 6 {@db3} 3
#close 6 |
//atconnect
| Code: |
#file 6 backup.rec
#var db1 {%read(6,1)}
#var db2 {%read(6,2)}
#var db3 {%read(6,3)}
#close 6 |
I haven't tested this.
I'm just putting ideas out there :) |
