Ok, I play on a mud with four chars, not multiplaying. What I'm trying to do is figure out how to best sort common triggers and aliases to be left in the mud package and yet have either folders or packages that run that's specific to those chars. A good example is switching managear. Each char has different gear because they're at different levels. I've tried to create a separate package and include it on the char but the scripts won't work if I'm in the mud package and vice versa if I'm in the char package.

If anyone can help me with this or suggest a better alternative. I've thought of creating folders that are enabled based on the char name that's coming on but that's ignoring the package ability...just throwing thoughts out there.

Thanks,

Septe

Make sure that variables, aliases and whatnot you want to be available to other packages are in modules set to the global or external options. Anything in a window or a local module can't be used from other packages.

So the best way would be to keep a variable with the character's gear in a global module within the session package, and generic code for handling that list of gear in a global module of the shared package.

Interesting, I did make sure the char package was global mode and it still did not work. Do we have an example of such a package? I did try the library but wasn't able to get anything to load. I'll keep working at this, trying to understand what I have here.

Thanks,

In the absence of being able to sit at your computer and see, some screenshots of the package editor viewing the modules in question would be helpful, since it'd give us an idea of what you've done with your setup. You can upload them to www.imageshack.us.
