Zugg Software :: View topic - class containing onconnect/ondisconnect disabling itself

Posted: Fri Feb 26, 2010 11:14 pm

I have a tiny tiny class that contains two events, one for onconnect, the other for ondisconnect. For some reason, every time I start CMUD, this class is disabled, no matter how many times I enable it. The whole purpose is to begin logging once connected to a mud, and it's not working. I've even selected 'enable class when connecting' but to no avail. Halp?

<class name="autolog" initenable="true" id="419">
<event event="onConnect" priority="4180" id="418">
<value>#LOG %time( yyyy-mm-dd).txt</value>
</event>
<event event="onDisconnect" priority="4200" id="420">
<value>#LOG </value>
</event>
</class>

Hm, I seemed to have found half of the problem - this used to work as is, writing a log by default to the CMUD folder under My Documents. Now, after enabling it and reconnecting, it disables itself. If I enable it and try to reconnect, the disconnect event fires and tries to make me choose a log location. If I cancel, the class is disabled.

I deleted the ondisconnect event. The class still disables itself when connecting.

Look at the class properties. There's an option that says something along the lines of disable class when connecting. Give that a click or two to make sure it's properly unchecked.

If that's not the problem, check for stuff that's using #T- Autolog.

Barring that, perhaps it's some sort of old leftover-from-zmud association with the word autolog (ie, a word you can't use because cmud does something internally with it).

Yes, it's definitely not set to disable itself when connecting.

I'll be damned, I changed the name of the class and now it works fine. Thanks for the suggestion on the reserved name.

Yes, Autolog is the name of the class Cmud uses for your automatic login information--the triggers to send your name and password to the mud. Cmud automatically disables this class afterward.
