[2.25] #FILE in a child window
|
1) Create a test package. Name it, for ex., TPack
2) Open it and do the following:
| Code: |
#WIN Child
#ALIAS test_Main {#FILE 1 Test.txt;#CLOSE 1}
:Child: #ALIAS test_Child {#FILE 1 Test.txt;#CLOSE 1}
|
We have set up 2 similar aliases in the main and in the child window. Now call them
test_Main
:Child: test_Child
(I'm using WinXP and have CMUD data folder within Program Files)
test_Main output:
Opened Test.txt as file 1
Closed X:\Program Files\CMUD\TPack\Test.txt on file 1
test_Child output:
Opened Test.txt as file 1
Closed X:\Program Files\CMUD\Test.txt on file 1
You can see that #FILE in the child window is trying to open a file in CMUD folder, while #FILE in the main window correctly open a file in the session folder. |

This is normal. Your main window is associated with a character session and so the default folder is within the character's subfolder (TPack in your example). A Child window is not associated with a particular character...multiple character windows can share the same child window, for example. So there is no subfolder for it. So the default location is just the DataFiles location (which in your case is ProgramFiles/CMUD).
If you need to store in a specific file path, specify the full path in your #FILE command.
In zMUD, child windows were associated with a single session and didn't really have their own settings like in CMUD, so it was a bit different in zMUD. But it is working as intended in CMUD, sorry. |
