hi

i am having a problem importing scripts from txt files. i just cant seem to find how to do it.
the package editor has a menu option but t does nothing unless i have a trgger/alias highlighted and then it just pastes the script into the trigger.

what i want to do is import the full script and not 1 trigger at a time.
any ideas?

For most things you can open the text file. select all, copy, then paste into the command line and hit enter.

It has been a while since I tried to import a text file the correct way but I think it goes like this.

Nevermind... There doesn't appear to be a correct way other than what I just mentioned. Maybe someone else will see what I missed.

Be sure to check your database variables after the import as you may still need to import them manually...

BTW make sure that word wrap is turned OFF in the text editor that you are copying from.

CMUD doesn't export text files, so it also doesn't import them.

This doesn't really matter, though, since zMUD's exported text files were just command-line parseable text anyway. Pasting it onto the command line will work fine. You can also use the editor to use more advanced features like sending line-by-line.

I haven't tested it but couldn't one use the #READ command to accomplish this?

You could, yes, but that'd require putting the file in a directory where CMUD will find it, or using an absolute path. It'd probably be more convenient to use the GUI.

The Actions/Execute Script menu command will also do this.
