Exporting Worlds

Hi guys! I play regularly at home and at work (<eg>), and I was wondering if there was an easy way to move all trigs, variables, aliases, etc. between computers. I know you can export them all individually, but that's a bit of a pain. I actually find it easier to just manually add in any changes I made. But if there was a way to do them all at once, that could prove to be very convenient. Thanks in advance!

Instead of exporting them individually, why not just save the world file to a floppy and put that in your pocket? Then you have the lot together.

My main reason for wanting to export instead of taking the whole world was that I use a different log on sequence at work. At home, I can telnet directly to a MUD, whereas at work, I have to connect to a proxy server, then to the MUD. It's more of a luxury than a neccesity as it is a bit annoying to have to change the connection settings twice a day, but is by no means detrimental to my MUDding experience (as you can tell by my response time to this note). I was just wondering if there was some way to do it that I didn't know about.

Cheers! :)

What you can do in version 3.23 (not yet released) is use include files. This will work around your problem.

I would make an include file "my_connection.xml" which has the specific things needed that are different for each location (port, ip address, connection commands) and then include that in the main world file, eg.



Then you take the world file from one place to another, but leave behind the (different) connection files. The include file might look like this:

Sounds good! Can't wait for the release to try it out! :-)
