[3.05] Warning... do keep backups.
 
Must be something like murphy's law or something:

that I had a weird Cmud crash that deleted the values of all my triggers, aliasses and buttons and replaced them with a crap load of text that has come in from my mud. Every single object in my system now contains the same load of text and all the scripts are gone.

And this happens on the day I wrote a post-it to myself to go backup my files, for it had been way to long since my last back-up.

Well here I am weeks of scripting back in time.

Crying or Very sad

CMUD creates backups of your pkg files. Look for *_bak.pkg files. You can control how many backups are made by CMUD and turn on Automatic Backups to create even more backups. But even with automatic backups turned off CMUD should still create one.

I have no idea how something like that could happen since CMUD uses a transaction database for your session package. I can't imagine any way for that to cause all of your settings to be replaced with text received from the MUD.

I have no idea either. I have indeed located a _bak.pkg file which seems to contain a rather recent version of my system. Still struggling with getting that pkg file to work with my newly created session though, but I think I will manage to fix this some how... it will probably save me a few weeks of rewriting my system. Thanks.
