zMUD MXP Gauge
 
By default, I have three gauges on connection to my MUD. These gauges reappear with the original stats regardless of modification or deletetion upon program restart. Any idea on how to get around that?

check to see if the variables that the gauges display, do not have default values. If they do, then remedy this.

Hi. I'm having the same problem with the hp bar colors resetting to default upon login. I don't quite understand the solution to this. Could somebody explain in greater detail please?

open your settingd editor and click on the variable for hp or whatever and erase the stuff in the default: text box

Erasing the stuff in the text box when I edit the MXP variables only makes it so that I don't have the hp bar at all. I want the hp bar, but I want it to be a different color than the default. When I change the color by right clicking on it and choosing a different color, that only works for my current mudding session. As soon as I reconnect, once I get past the login screen the colors rest to default. I guess I'm just missing something in your explanation...

It sounds like these gauges are being created by MXP commands from the MUD. If that's the case, they aren't permanent settings so there is no way to make permanent alterations to them.

My guess is that the MUD sends the gauges from scratch again even though they already exists.

You should ask the MUD administrator to add support to customize gauges. This is the MXP tag used for it: <GAUGE EntityName [Max=EntityName] [Caption=text] [Color=color]>
So the 'color' part would need customization support from within the MUD.
