Hi guys, Im really sorry to post this, but i tried to look at the converting scripts thread, and cant really make heads out of it, i just havent spent the time to get to grips with coding in C/ZMud yet.

In Zmud i have a multiline tell capture that went something like this:

Go into the settings editor and look at your "multilinecapture" trigger and make sure the command script is set properly. There is a bug when using #TRIGGER (or other commands) form the command line when they contain the :windowname: syntax.

For importing scripts, if you install CMUD into the same directory as zMUD, it should convert your files and work in most cases. Since zMUD and CMUD use different file formats, there is no bad effect on your zMUD files. In fact, you can use zMUD and CMUD at the same time. So there is no risk to your existing zMUD files to try it.

I expect to add a Compatibility Report feature to the next version of CMUD to make migration of zMUD scripts a bit easier.

You can also get CMUD to convert a *.MUD file by listing it as your main package file. It will create a *.pkg file of the same name. I think one might need to delete or rename any existing pkg file of the same name before doing this. [Edit: From Zugg's very recent post in another thread, it looks like if there is an existing pkg file with the same name, it is replaced when a *.MUD file is imported. I can't test at the moment.]

well i reinstalled into the zmud folder, and everything seems to be going well. time will tell how well though. question. how do i save the layout of my windows again?

i have three windows, the main one, and two smaller ones (occupying the same space using tabs) above it. i remember having to save the layout and do multiple saves i think. is cmud any different?

Also, i have a trigger using this code, which doesnt seem to work. has the command changed?

CMUD automatically saves your layout (if you have Use Layout checked, which it is by default).

There have been some noted quirks that if you run into an error while running CMUD, depending on the nature of th error some of your layout properties maybe reset.

cool, thanks

I remember my other question: the bar at the top of the main window (the orange one), is there a way to make that thinner?

Damn! I've totally screwed my layout trying to get it to hide the orange bar, and now its utterly rafted. what do i need to do in order to make cmud do the conversion again for all the settings, etc?

You can't make the orange title bar any thinner, but you can hide it completely by turning off the Show Caption option in the Layout menu.

To reconvert your settings, select Edit Session, go to the Files tab, and enter your *.MUD file name into the Filename field. It will reconvert your MUD file to the PKG format.

ok... the settings seem to have reloaded, but... the main window is just blank. even hitting reconnect brings nothing up in this screen!

if it helps at all, the caption is listing as akanbar.mud

Edit: ok, it seems to be working now, i R-clicked on the window, selected edit menu, and ticked the 'use main session network connection' radio button. that seems to have got it up and running again. not sure if this is the right thing to do though (ie the proper way to get it working)

argh!!!!!!!!!! i swear its not me. i really do! alright then, the buttons along the top have now vanished. and i only have the reference tab along the right hand side (not that i was really using the other two yet, but never mind)

You can always delete your .xly layout file and start again.

after the upgrade, i imported akanbar.mud into the cmud directory and recreated the pkg file to import all my triggers. however my tells multiline capture trigger no longer seems to work properly. It captures the first line, but anything after that is in the main window. the trigger commands are:
