DB Window trouble
|
Hi, there seems to be a problem with my Database window. It doesnt appear at all on the screen no matter what i do.
The actual data base loads with the '#dbload' command but the actual window is nowhere to be seen.
i think maby it's somewhere outside the desktop area, that's the only explanation i can come up with. is there anyway i can reset it so that its on teh desktop again?

I have had the exact same problem ever since upgrading to 6.62. I don't have any reason to believe that the window is actually appearing off the screen somewhere, but it sure isn't visible. The database is loaded and functioning, because all my scripts/aliases/triggers/etc. that use it work correctly, but the window isn't visible. It is quite irritating.

If you want to edit the zmud.ini file, only touch the Database IsMaximized and IsOnTop values (note, this is from memory, so names might not be exactly the same). Someone posted this exact problem and a very specific way to fix it, but the rest of us simply prefer to delete the .ini file and let ZMud recreate it.

God I wish I had this problem!
I use databases to manage my characters and various stuff pertaining to them, so I can load their settings from a generic mud window (yeah I guess it'd be smarter to use text files in retrospect! didn't know about #read/etc when I was setting this stuff up).
But my database window has to be open for me to read from any Databases. This is quite annoying when you've got lots of characters on and you like to swap windows by control tabbing (just a habit I picked up).
If you know how you got it to make your db window invisible and not able to be switched to, let me know ;)
In the mean time, try cycling through your windows with control tab to find it. They're pretty well hidden unless you do it this way.

patryn,
You can either delete the zmud.ini file in your Zmud directory, or edit it. To edit it, find IsMaxed and OnTop under [DB], and set both = 1 like so:
[DB]
IsMaxed=1
OnTop=1
Leave the other values (top, left, etc) alone.
Kord, to create 'this problem' ;), do the opposite. Edit zmud.ini, and set both to 0:
[DB]
IsMaxed=0
OnTop=0
again leaving the other values alone.
The snag with this is that when you want to look at your database, you'll have to set both back to 1 and restart zMud. Not terribly convenient.... |
