CMudPro unable to find .mud file.
 
To be completely honest I'm really, really distressed right now. It has all ran very smoothly until yesterday, when I noticed that
one of the channel capture windows has positioned itself wrongly. Then I started to check how other capture windows have been set up
and at first couldn't understand the concept and pretty much screwed their set-up up. Figured that if I make a clean slate so to speak
and make a new session and choose original .mud file manually, it will all fix up, but it didn't. It just sets up secondary settings in
addition to untitled one and both of them seem to share the settings within original .mud file (chunk of settings that one has, but other doesn't).

So finally I decided to uninstall CMudPro completely and let it find the correct place again and then choose correct .mud file.
However it doesn't find it. Its in the same folder as zmud.exe and everything but when I get the list it just isn't listed there.
And when I try to choose it manually after re-install, the same stuff happens as before.

This sort of stuff is new to me to say the least as I've come from ZMud and I have no idea what to try next or even how to explain it
more reasonably.

Btw, .mud file isn't corrupted or anything because ZMud loads it just fine and all the settings are there.

I really hope someone can help me because CMud has started to grow on me :/

It's your session layout for CMUD that is messed up. Keep in mind that uninstalling any software doesn't delete user-created files. For example, uninstalling Microsoft Word doesn't delete your *.doc files. So uninstalling CMUD doesn't delete any of your session files.

To reset your session layout, hold down the SHIFT key when you select the Open Offline option. To use your old *.MUD file for a session, click on the Edit Session action and go to the Package Files tab. Then click on the browse button and locate your *.MUD file.

You know, manually choosing my .mud file was the first thing I did about a dozen times to no avail. Once it was loaded, either offline or online, everything got messed up one way or another. However, now I did as you told me Wink

Chose Open Offline but hold Shift down while doing it. Had manually chosen the .mud file before hand, though. Bottom line: Now it loaded the way it should so it seems that Shift trick was the main thing I was missing. Matter of fact, I knew about something like that existing but
couldn't recall it for the life of me. And got depressed, as it usually happens with me Confused

Anyway, thanks. It seems to have solved itself now.
