Hmm since modules and windows are now defined i dont see options for publishing things to the library anymore? So i assuming you have to redo some of the library definitions to know to use modules?

Also right click shows ONLY PACKAGE

Go to the Edit menu and select "Package Properties" and then you'll see the buttons for publishing to the library.

That right-click option seems left over from before the changes.

No. The Package Library is still for *packages*. A "package" is a collection of modules and windows. You can certainly just make a package that contains only one module, but now you have more flexibility.

Think of it this way: A Package is the same as the *.PKG database file and the same as what is stored in the Shared Package Library. Think of Modules/Windows like special "class folders" within the package.

This takes some getting used to...I know. In zMUD, a *.MUD file and a Window were the same thing. One window per file. One file per window. CMUD changes this and allows multiple modules and/or windows within a single package file.

There are definitely some places where the terminology isn't corrected yet. And I admit that I didn't mess with the Package Library yet, so it's possible it doesn't quite support these new concepts yet.

rofl new packages wasnt an option under new so i was trying to figure that one out.. I thought thats what packages were.

I will look again in a bit im extremely tired (so i might just be having a brainless moment) trying to redo some of these scripts to test out things that werent working before. I can give you the feedback that so far some of my more complex scripts have taken affect and begun working even if not ideally. Its progress :) and good progress at that.
