#MENU {View|Preferences|General|Logging}

and click
Save scrollback buffer to log when log opened

:) Will look about to see if there is a better idea. If I understand correctly you want to save scrollback only sometimes and not all the time.

Seems like you can't.

Testing in zMUD 6.16 with the Save scrollback buffer to log when log opened option enabled, the scrollback was saved without me clicking anything when I used the #LOG command.

If I understand your statement "I dont want to log everything through an atconnect..but i'd really like it to catch the scrollback as well," you don't want to have to be logging all the time but when you do log, would like to capture everything in the scrollback as well. If this is the case, the TonDiening's solution should work just fine. Set the option once and then your #LOG commands will save the scrollback as well.

However, if you want to be able to programmatically choose between saving scrollback and not saving scrollback, that might be slightly more difficult. In zMUD 6.40, we could probably do something with #MENU {File|Save buffer} and the VBScript SendKeys statement to only save the scrollback when we wanted to but short of invoking the Microsoft Scripting Engine through COM in zMUD 6.16 and then telling it to send these keys (which I haven't tested and don't know if it's possible, though this may actually turn out to be a practical solution), I'm not sure how one would go about it in 6.16.

Heres something strange...Havent changed anything...just started actually using the written script..nothing seems to get logged..no new files are made period..doesnt matter if i force append the NEW. ..I've tryed typing #LOG <Name> ..just to see if it would do it at all..i've tried lowering the autosave interval of the log to 1 minute..and waiting 5..still no file is made....Any suggestions? ...However asking it to #LOG to a empty file already made seems to work fine.

Only thing I can think of is if you are using Windows XP on a limited user account with zMUD installed into the Program Files directory. Then it wouldn't be able to create a file in its own directory (limited users can't write to the Program Files directory).

Otherwise, try restarting zMUD and your system to see if that makes a difference. If not, try from the default character (press escape from the character selection screen).

Not sure if this is really what you want, but you could set up a trigger to capture anything...#TR {*} {#CAP SCROLLBACK} Then have an alias to focus on that window and save the log....#AL SaveScroll {:SCROLLBACK:#LOG {c:{%time(mm-dd-yyyy-t)}.doc}}...and another alias to clear the capture window...#AL ClearScroll {:SCROLLBACK:;#CLR}...not sure if that helps, but I used something like it before
