Um, yeah, the subject pretty much says my problem.

All my stuff (aliases, triggers, buttons, everything) for Lusternia has mysteriously vanished. I have no idea why. The .mud file has nothing in it. My stuff for the other MUD I play, Imperian, is still there, so it's just this one that's having the problem.

Is there any way of getting my files back? Also, oddly, it's no longer showing ANSI color for Lusternia.

The .mdb file still seems to be there, although I never used the database function of zMUD and I can't remember how big the file was before.

Is the character showing the correct .mud file to use? If so, it maybe either got overwritten (which would basically be due to something you did, not a zmud bug) or the file got corrupted.

If you suspect the latter, check out the Migration Guide to see if you can get them back but if they are all gone they might not be recoverable.

You may be able to find a backup file in the zmud folder (whatever_bak.mud I think). Unfortunately I've always found the automated zMUD backup to be next to useless, since it overwrites the old backup on program exit, so 99% of the time just backs up the empty mud file.
