| | What do you mean stay? Stay enabled on the player? If so, just write a variable to the pfile like other player variables are done. |

| | The problem with that what if the player used a client that supports mxp, then no longer does so? Well then I could set a varible I guess to be turned on and of during the checks to see if they can use mxp, but I'm not quiet sure how to change hotboot to do so. |

| | You could just have it be a config option to toggle MXP on or off for the pfile. |

| | Not sure how exactly that would fix the problem, if they set it then disconnected and reconnected with another client. I dont want to have it set a pfile option that will have to be changed because of client. |

| | So you're going to force MXP to be on if their client supports it? |

| | Personally, I'd want to be able to toggle MXP on the MUD and not via the client. I don't always want MXP on, since it's not really a complete design anyways. |

Some MXP implementations are bugged (at the server end) - there has been quite a bit of discussion about this. Things like maps with > signs in them come up with half of it missing.
I'm not familiar with hotboot code, but don't see why you can't renegotiate MXP after a hotboot.
Seems like a strange worry, hotboots occur when you want to reboot the server don't they? Why would someone switch clients while the hotboot takes place? |

| | Well thats not exactly what I meant by it. Saving the option in a pfile will then mess with things somewhat if they switch clients... But I am unsure how to renegotate during the hotboot. |

| I have to admit that I'm baffled as to how/why someone would change clients during a hotboot. Even if your hotboot managed to take a full minute or so, why would someone suddenly decide to change clients?
For that matter, if they changed client wouldn't they need to reconect at which point the connection could be renegotiated just like it was when they first connected, right? |

| | Grrrr... I said I didn't mean it that way. The fact of the matter is if you store the MXP true in the pfile and they DO SWITCH then its broken sending mxp to a client that doesn't want mxp... Now want I am trying to do is to get it to renegotitate AFTER a hotboot but I cant figure it out *sigh* |
