Hrm...
 
Is there a way to have Zmud keep auto logs for each day? Like one day, the file would be 7-17zeno.txt

Try
#alias {atconnect} {#log %time(m-dd)zeno.txt}

The log or what Charbal posted?

The log will appear in zMUD's directory. What Charbal posted would be entered into the command line.

Ok... how do I have it make a different log for each character? Like it should be something like #alias {atconnect} {#log %time(m-dd)(char).txt}
And how do I have it get rid of the time? It logs the time... Any way to get it to log colors too?

Use a different name for each character. Instead of %time(m-dd)zeno.txt use %time(m-dd)zen2.txt or other name of your choice.

Color can be included by enabling Log ANSI Color in Preferences.

You could probably write a trigger to gag the time although I'm not sure why you'd want to. It shouldn't take up more than one line and it's often useful to know what time a session started.

logfile="c:My Documents"
logfile = %concat( @logfile, "Logs")
logfile = %concat( @logfile, %char)
logfile = %concat( @logfile, "")
logfile = %concat( @logfile, %char)
logfile = %concat( @logfile, %time( mm))
logfile = %concat( @logfile, %time( dd))
logfile = %concat( @logfile, ".txt")
#lo @logfile

Given a character called Edwin, on April 10th, this will create a file called Edwin0410.txt in a folder called Edwin in Logs in My Documents on C.

You will need to create these folders (Logs, and Edwin inside it) manually before you run it, or the files won't be created, other than that you can sort by character and date just using the filename...

Alternatively, remove some lines to put it straight in my documents, or whatever.

I've deliberately left the above code as just that - code. It can be put in as an alias, as a trigger on your login prompt or whatever.

All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me

Those are the ANSI control codes. They are what tell zMUD how to color each line. If you want to save color to your logs, this is how you will see them when you open them in a text editor. If, however, you open it in zMUD's Editor (Windows|Editor), you will see full color.
