Auto-Logging upon zmud startup 6.62 |
Is there anyway to auto-log characters when zmud starts up or must you always click on them to connect? My zmud is dying during the night.. i dont know how/why but there is no winxp error message that is up in the morning.. zmud just disappears outta my taskbar. I run the same stuff all day long while i sit here and zmud doesnt close but if i leave it on all night it'll die somehow. So i was gonna get a program to reopen it when it dies and if i could auto-log the characters that'd be great.

zMud does take a character as a commandline parameter. I believe it must match the name displayed in the Character Database window. If you use multiple words I think double quotes will work to put it into a single parameter. Never used any of those options though, just know they are supported from old versions and not really documented.

You can't do that from within ZMud. You will need to call the zmud.exe file with the appropriate command-line parameters (not real sure, but I think it's character name or the standard telnet stuff.) From there, it's just a matter of coding up the initiation sequence so that you can resume doing what you were doing in ZMud.
