I have searched and searched and tried to find an answer, and cannot, so I am asking now. I have recently returned to MU*client following the death of my laptop, and I am trying to set it back up on a borrowed desktop. The problem I am finding, is that in the global defaults preferences, there is no option to auto-log on connect, even though the help files says that option should be there. Is there a way to get this setup and working on MU*client? I have the latest version 4.51 downloaded from this site. Thank you so much!
Yes, go to File -> World Properties -> Connecting. You can put your username/password into the fields there, select an auto-connect mechanism, and add text that you want to be sent when you connect.
My apologies, I should have been more specific, though I thank you for the reply. I want to start the world logging output to a log file on connect, and this option is supposed to be in global preferences, or in the logging option for each world, but it seems to have been removed.
Thank you! Is there a way to set it up so that you can get a new log every time you login? I'm sorry, I'm just so out of my depth right now, and frustrated over dead laptop.
Heheh, it's fine. I don't believe you can create a new file for every session, but you can easily set it up to log to a new file every day. Click the "Help" button on the Logging dialog for a full list of date characters. Here's an example:
"mylog-%Y-%m-%d.log"
Use that (or something like it) in your logging path and you'll get a new log file every day. For today's date (for my timezone at least), this would produce "mylog-2010-05-08.log".
I went in and used your example for my file to log to. And while I don't get an error message, and the program does show that I am logging, it is not producing a log file in the logs folder, which is where the default is set to.
Okay, I found them. It is logging, BUT, it is logging to the main MUClient folder and not into the logs folder, even though I have that set as the default.
You might want to try having a full (absolute) path for the logging, rather than just a filename. Like from C:\ all the way to logs\mylogs-timestamp.log. You can use the Browse button to do that easily, then just tack the filename you want at the end afterwards.
