Zugg Software :: View topic - [303B1a] Mapper forgets "disabled all portals" flag state on reload.

Each time I load the map from the database I have to manually reset the flag in the portals dialog box.

Hmm, this should be stored with your location object. Is it really not saving, or is the checkbox in the portal dialog box just not getting updated properly?

I can't actually tell you when the cycle started, but I noticed my portals weren't working and found that the "disable all portals" box was checked. At one time I had explicitly checked the box and quit CMUD with it set, so I thought I had just forgotten to uncheck it. However, next time I brought CMUD up I found that the box was checked again. This cycle repeated until I deleted the map setting and forced the map object to be re-created. Now it "remembers".

EDIT: Once I connected to the MUD, the flag was set again so I had to manually remove it. So somehow, between loading and connecting the flag comes back.

Possibly a duplicate of the several other posts with problems saving mapper settings?

Perhaps it is related, gamma_ray, I don't know. As to whether it is saving the flag state or not, I would say yes. I think there are 2 related problems or I mis-stated the original one. This is what is happening now. I find the box checked, so I uncheck it and portals are accessed normally. I quit CMUD and then re-start, the flag is unchecked. However, my first attempt at using a portal will fail (it will execute a non-portal speedwalk) so I look at the box and it is again checked. This cycle repeats. I think I just assumed that the flag value wasn't being saved. But know I look at the flag as soon as the mapper is loaded and it is unchecked at the start of the session, becomes checked sometime afterward, I have determined that it happens either at or just after connect time.

I am bumping this because the problem is solid. When I end use of CMUD, the disable all portals box is unchecked. When I then bring up CMUD again, the box is still unchecked. However, after I connect to the MUD, the flag becomes checked. So I am assuming that the setting is kept in two places and they are out of synch. Note that I always start CMUD with my session offline.
