wondering if i can have zmud log me into a specific mud automaticly when it starts.

i only play one mud, so it would be nice to skip the inital 'characters' window.

thanks.

Probably not, Zugg gets money from MUDs that pay to put their icons by default in your character screen.

Of course, since they are paying to do this, the MUDs that advertise there are also usually the type who don't deserve to be there in the first place, MUDs ran by companies for profit where players can pay to go up skills/levels, get absurdly powerful equipment and otherwise gain advantages over other players without skill needed, etc... *COUGH*ironrealmsdotcom

That's via the OS command-line. You cannot autologin directly from loadup from within the ZMud GUI

Should be able to change the zmud shortcut in the start menu or desktop to what Jolopez said, and then set the autologin details so it'll put in the username and password though?

KK, I guess you didn't make it far in an IRE game? ;)

I did actually, with a lot of effort and skill... Then realised how much bull"$( it was that people could just buy their way into power and swore it off. :) I don't play any pay MMPORGs, they're all too level and item based. Never so much emphasis on roleplaying as free ones, just want to get players "hooked" and paying as soon as possible.

what am i doing wrong here?

so i have the character name set to 'bummer'

i'm using a 'scheculed task' with the 'run:' set to:

C:\PROGRA~1\zMUD\Zmud.exe bummer

but when it fires up i get the following...

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHH your character is called "cybersphere". Your username for the autologin is set to "bummer", but that's nothing to do with it :P

well, the first rude reply i've seen on the boards forces me to monkey around more and find the solution.

thanks KillerKitty!

it's actually not the 'Icon Caption' which is listed as 'Cybersphere'

it's the 'Session ID' which is set to '15'

in responce to jolopez:

not sure if i know you or not, kevlar is a name i use often... real name = kevin. from La Crosse WI. if you know me from a MUD it would be the cybersphere...

The original question has been answered. So this topic is done. Silly, childish posts deleted.
