Hey everyone.

I'm having a weird problem with the auto login of the new version. I, as always after checking, clicked yes to the autologin screen. The next time i tried to log the program sent the char name 2 times to the mud, resulting in a wrong password message. Any idea how to fix this? please

Thanks for your atention.

Check your atconnect aliases and the triggers in the Autolog class. If you have a trigger in the Autolog class which provides your name, probably with the #CH command, then you don't need to send your name with the atconnect alias.

In older versions, the Autolog Wizard created a trigger to send your name and another trigger to send your password and the atconnect alias was only used when other questions needed to be answered before the name was sent.
(Some examples:
Do you want color?
atconnect sends y or n
What do you want to do?
a. Create a new character
b. Log in an existing character
c. Write a description
atconnect sends b)

In recent versions, it seems that the Autolog Wizard frequently uses the atconnect alias to send the name. I think the trigger method is probably better. You can easily make your own login triggers by supplying the correct patterns and using the #CH and #PW commands. They should be placed in the Autolog class and you should make sure you don't have an atconnect alias sending the name. (NOTE: You should always have an atconnect alias, but it's okay for it to be blank).
Samples
Pattern: Please state your name:
Value: #CH

Pattern: Password:
Value: #PW;#T- AutoLog

You may need to change some Options on these triggers. The most common change needed is to make them trigger on Prompt instead of Newline. Don't use both options as that may cause the trigger to fire twice.

i was also having the same problem.but i just deleted the atconnect alias, and then it started to work. very weird.
and i can be tricky to find that alias, so use search.
