Trigger Matching Problem

I have 3 questions:

1. On the log in, I can't seem to match on:
*** PRESS RETURN:
I want to send a "return" when this appears. This is
is my trigger: \*\*\* PRESS RETURN:
and as you said in an earlier post, I am sending a blank line for the "return". What am I doing wrong?



2. Then I want to enter a 1 and a carriage return when this next screen comes up, I having trouble with this too: My trigger: Welcome to GrimneMUD
and I am sending a 1 and a blank line.
Any suggestions here?

Welcome to GrimneMUD

0) Exit from GrimneMUD.
1) Enter the game.
2) Enter description.
3) Change password.
4) Check rent status.
5) Delete character.
6) Newbie letter.

Make your choice:

3. I want to run two or more characters off the same MUD,
do I create a new world for each? Then I can copy over the alias and trigger files if I want something to start with?

Thank you,

First, MUSHclient only matches a trigger when it gets a "end of line". Thus, prompts will not match. I suggest instead that you type in the required responses into the "send after connecting" text.

eg. After connecting, send:

(blank line)
1


As for two characters, you could make one file, set up triggers and everything, and then save it once, and then again under a different name (for your new character).

Alternatively, save your triggers and aliases into separate files (in their configuration screens) and then "share" those files by setting their names as defaults (under global configuration). Then for your other characters check the "use defaults" box, which will make them load in those default files.
