Clickable URL Package no longer working
 
A week ago, I had an odd crash. I was re-arranging hte windows, and generated a crash - I can't recall exactly what I did, but the content of every package that was open was wiped.

I deleted the Clickable URLs and Default package, re-installed CMUD to get fresh copies, but ever since, I can't get clickable URLs to work.

What exactly isn't working about it? Telling us you can't get it to work without giving us more detail is like telling a mechanic "My car makes a funny sound."

Are links just not showing up? Are you just not able to click on them? Are they able to be clicked on but no browser opens? Do you have clickable url links package set as a default package? Many different reasons, and without more detail, we can't begin to figure it out.

It's not working. Nothing is happening. It is in a word "not working". there are no error messages or anything else. It's been enabled and loaded but sin't doing anything.

So... the links are not linking, then? Meaning they just show up as standard text?

If you go into the Package Editor and select View/Show Default packages, does the Clickable URL package show up as a tab? If you click on this tab, do you see the triggers for it? I'm not having any problem with it here, so somehow the package isn't getting loaded or enabled with your session.

In the "Clickable URLs" package, it's loaded as a tab but there's nothing in it. But previously when it WAS working there was never showing. I assumed you'd set it so that the settings couldn't be lifted out of it, deliberately.

Mine has always had 2 triggers.

Code:

Pattern: \b(((https?|ftp|telnet)://[\w\d:#@%/;$()~_?\+\-=&]+|www|ftp)(\.[\w\d:#@%/;$()~_?\+\-=&]+)+)\b
Action:  #SUB {<A '%1'>%1</A>}

Pattern: \b([\w\d._%+\-]+@[\w\d.\-]+\.[\w]{2,4})\b
Action:  #SUB {<A 'mailto:%1'>%1</A>}


Both with Regular Expression and Trigger on Newline checked off.

Sounds like your Clickable URL package got overwritten or cleared out somehow. Reinstall CMUD or copy the original Clickable URL.Pkg file from your installation /packages directory into your data files directory. By default this would be:

COPY "C:\Program Files\CMUD\packages\Clickable URLs.pkg" "C:\My Documents\My Games\CMUD\packages\*.*"

or something similar to that.

AHA! That's the problem. I DID re-install CMUD, but the packages in the isntall directory were the only ones I knew about. I didn't realise they needed copying to my game directory.

Yeah, normally on a clean install, CMUD copies the contents of the packages in the install directory into the individual user's game directory.
