Hi,

I seem to have a problem with saving the window layouts. This is how I want it to look

and once I save the layout, exit zmud and reload it, this is how it appears

Not quite the same thing.

I'm using 6.24 beta on Windows XP.

Also, I'm trying to set up a trigger to pipe text to another window but I don't seem to be able to change the colour of the text that is piped to the window.

Currently the trigger looks like this

^(*) ~(*~) {tell the CLAN|tells the CLAN}: (*)

and I'm doing a

#win clan {%1: %2}
#GAG

To another window. The triger works fine and pipes everything formatted to the other window. The problem is how to change the colour. I've tried putting in a

#color red

command above the #win command but it has no effect. Any ideas?

Thanks

Gary

Try that. The second %ansi() isn't needed if you wish to color the whole line red

Please post bugs (or what you think may be bugs) about beta versions in the Beta Forum.

Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't seem to work. Everything is still in the same sickly bright cyan. Any other ideas?

Just to reiterate Kjata's post, please post this in the Beta Forum as this is a Beta version. It could possibly be a bug, but only Zugg will know for sure. Currently, Zugg is gone for the holidays but you can still ask for information on the Beta Forum. Thanks.

OHhhhhhhhhh

You meant the colour bit too? Apologies, I thought you just meant the windowing problems. I thought I was just missing something with the scripting. I'll post there then.

Thanks

I have constant problems with the layout code myself, and when I want to change the layout file I just delete the connection icon and create it anew. Leave the check-box for "use layout" blank, load the connection, get it set up the way you want it, save layout - That should do the trick.

It seems there's a bug or two in the Save Layout menu or other related piece(s) of code. Every once in a while, whether the Layout field is filled in prior to saving or not, the layout will be saved to '.lay' instead of '<layoutname>.lay' Everything saves correctly, though, so it's really easy for me to just delete the old layout file and rename the '.lay' file to the old layout name.

If you are diligent about maintaining your files, you can catch when the layout gets saved to the wrong file. When ZMud doesn't prompt you for permission to overwrite the existing layout file, you'll know that it created the .lay file).
