Simple Questions
 
Hello,

I have some questions that perhaps you folks can help me with first the general questions:

I'm still having trouble setting up autologs for individual characters. In Zmud they were outputted to C:\Logs\character name\date_character name. Somehow adding the time started and stopped to the file name would be great as well.

Also How do I increase my session buffer size, I grew accustomed to having very large buffers in Zmud and miss them.

Game related questions:

How do I set up a variable that would represent the weapon I am currently using.

Setting it up the via command line would be best such as weap blah. setting the weapon variable to blah until I log off or change it.

I can do lots of things with a variable such as that and can modify it myself to suit my needs.

Thanks in advance,
Airborne375

I don't know anything about logging, so I can't help you there, but...

You can use the variable=value syntax on the command line. So, typing "weap=sword" on the command line will set the variable @weap in your scripts.

1)quotes are needed to help ensure #LOG gets the proper string to use. Not using quotes means CMud will be allowed to parse the result. Similarly, CMud lets you put together any string you desire; just because it lets you do this doesn't mean that it's valid in the context of some other application--say the OS, or the filename rules of your webhosting service.

2)Open up the Properties window and look around. There's a row of tabs on the left for broad sections of preferences, and there's a row of tabs along the top for the individual subpages within that section.
