Importing settings from zMUD?
 
I searched the forum and couldn't find anything about this. Is there currently an easy way to import zMUD settings into CMUD? I've looked around in both programs, but CMUD only seems to import xml files, and zMUD does not export in that format. I only play on one mud, but I have well over a hundred triggers, aliases, variables, etc for that mud. It would be a major pain to copy them all by hand. Can anyone help?

When you open your CMUD session, or use the blank one open the settings editor and then go to File --> Open and you will be able to import you .MUD files.

You won't like the answer which is, "It depends." What I've found effective in identify quirks in where syntax has become more structured is to export the desired code in zMud to a text file. Then in CMUD copy the code into the syntax editor available off the menu at Windows -->Editor. If you turn syntax highlighting (in the editor window) I find that helps alot. There's also a function to perform a syntax check. Those tools should help you out.

also turn off word wrap when doing that as it will report problems that arent problems sometimes with wordwrap turned on

Also, just in case, do remember that CMUD is currently beta software. That means it contains bugs, possibly severe ones, and should only be used by people that want to help Zugg in finding and fixing these bugs. Right now it is not recommended for your day-to-day MUDing.
