Zugg Software :: View topic - [2.02] Import from zMUD

zMUD has separate session "Titles" and "Icon captions".

If you get CMUD to convert your chardb.db file by putting it in your CMUD folder before you run it for the first time, CMUD imports the Icon captions as the "Title", and the Title gets used for the Icon captions. Now, that seems OK. But neither the original Title nor the Icon caption are actually used when you open the session - it just has the name of the MUD file as the title of the session.

If you use the Import from zMUD wizard instead it's even worse. CMUD imports the Title and uses that for the Icon captions. But many of my session Titles are the same - many are just the name of the MUD and I differentiated between them in zMUD via the Icon caption (since I didn't normally play them at the same time). This would mean that the import would bring in lots of sessions with the same Title. But there must be some code (or Ignore duplicate key in the database) to stop this happening, and I end up with only one of these sessions. The other sessions are not imported at all. (And then, again the Title is not actually used when you open the session.)

Yes, this is actually already on the bug list. It also doesn't copy your character names or passwords yet.

Hmm, it does copy character names, and with the Import from zMUD wizard it does fill in the password field with stars but it doesn't seem to work. With the converting of your chardb.db file by putting it in your CMUD folder before you run it for the first time, the password field looks blank.
