Zugg Software :: View topic - Question about autolog (non-login) settings

I installed Cmud and created a new session for the address/port that I use to login.

The problem is, after creating aliases/triggers/etc., I have to enable autolog in order to use them for that session. If I log out and relog, the login triggers work but all the other aliases/trigs have to be manually enabled as autolog auto-disables with every new login. Is there a way to permanently activate these features so that they work without my current issue?

Example:
New alias is made.
Alias is saved into the system.
Autolog (found beneath the File/Edit/View tabs at the top of the screen) is right-clicked and enabled, as it currently has a strikethrough (disabled) setting.
Aliases work.
Log out.
Log in.
Aliases/Triggers don't work.
Autolog is again disabled.

Sounds like you're creating all your settings in the Autolog class folder. Don't do this, as this folder is internally specially handled by CMud as part of the autologin feature. It automatically turns off after like 2 minutes or something. Just move them out to the window object (or to another class folder you created) and they will stay on/off until you use #T-/#T+ on them.

Thank you for your input. It seems creating a new folder, like "Aliases" or "Triggers", and placing it the MUD's tree (alongside autolog) resolves the problem. However, it's strange that clicking on the Alias or Trigger buttons, which opens the original window I referenced in my post, places them in the autolog folder. In ZMUD, aliases, like anything else, have their own separate section and don't overlap with login triggers.

When I click aliases and click new, it creates the alias in the root of the window object. I'm guessing you were clicking on the autolog class first, which would put them there. They shouldn't go there by default.
