Edit the saved world file in Notepad (or UltraEdit, Crimson Editor, or some text editor of your choice).

Near the start you should see something like this:

The options you mentioned should be set (see lines in bold above). If so, when you reload that file, they should be set in the world configuration.

Maybe you didn't save the file. Maybe you opened a different one.
Cybertron #3
hey nick,

thanks for youre answer.

all option are check in the config file, i have only this one world file, and he load all option too.

i see the option in the client under the preference and in the configfile *.mcl

I don't know why it would do that.

Try the latest released version (4.51 as at today):

Can you describe exactly how you are opening your world file? I seem to recall someone had a similar problem a while ago, and it turned out they were using File menu -> Import, rather than just File menu -> Open.
Cybertron #6
hey nick,

thanks again for youre anwser.

i can tell you the exactly way what i do.

1. Now i deinstall mushclient 4.43.
2. clear all data in the mushclient folder
3. downloading the new mushclient 4.51 client (installer) and install (typical)
4. no problems to install mushclient. mushclient tells me "Launch MUSHclient now?" i choise yes.
5. mushclient works and verified data with a sql database? ni idea, but all okay and works :)
6. welcome screen, i push ok and i get a error: "Failed to launch help." and the Windows Support Center open it (look screen link -> http://img413.imageshack.us/i/firsterror.png/)
7. i push ok and the mushclient tells me the "Tip of the Day" :). i close Windows Support Center too.
8. i choise "Show tips on StartUp" and close
9. now i use "File -> New World" Mushclient tells me: "Preload world defauls from an existing world" i dont have a existing world, i choise "No/Nein" (look screen -> http://img651.imageshack.us/f/exstingsworl.png/)
10. I type in the World Name, the Name from the Mud.
11. i type the ip adress and port and choise the Option -> "Save World Automatically On Close" (look screen -> http://img199.imageshack.us/i/firststep.png/)
12. i go to "Logging" and choise the options -> "Format of log = HTML and Colour" and "Log Output", "Log Commands" and "Log Notes" (look screen -> http://img294.imageshack.us/i/secondstep.png/)
13. so, i am on the "Commands" and choise my options see screenlink -> http://img443.imageshack.us/i/3step.png/
14. my last step is to translate english -> german under the "Keypad"-Options" see screen links here -> http://img210.imageshack.us/i/laststep.png/

soo all done. i push "Ok", he connect. i type my name and.... the autorepreat commands doesnt work.

:(

i save the world with the option "Save World details as..."

that it.

PS: the Option "Echo My Input in Custom 2" (yellow) doesnt work again.

Quote:
I seem to recall someone had a similar problem a while ago, and it turned out they were using File menu -> Import, rather than just File menu -> Open.


Ok i do that (with the saved world) and now IT WORKS!! :)

i dont have a idea why it works, but it works.

--------------

i have 2 little questions, i hope you can help me.

1. the mushclient disconnect me from my favorite mud, without a errortell. (see screen -> http://img199.imageshack.us/i/discon.png/ )

the client tells me i was connect 6 hours etc. but in the mud i was after 20 minuts discon from the mud.

the wizzards tells me: its not a problem with the mud, he thinks my client haves a automaticly disconnect option.

can you help me about this problem?

-------------

so my last question :). i have a 1920x1200 resolution, my problem ist this here (see link http://img96.imageshack.us/f/auflsung.png/ )

the text are very small and i have a big black wall on the right side. haves the mushclient a option to make the words and all bigger/larger or so?

best regards

It's normal to just open a file. Import is for adding extra stuff, like more triggers.

No it doesn't automatically disconnect, why would it? However your router might be doing it.

See:

http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/showrelnote.php?version=4.44&productid=0

There is a command you can type to enable TCP "keep alives" which might help keep the connection open.

Yes, in the world configuration, output section.
Cybertron #10
hey nick,

thanks for all :). i wait now 2 days with the discon problem, i think the problem is solved.. with this option "enable TCP "keep alives".

And on my widescreen, no blackwall more :) thanks too for this.

yeah :) i whis you are good day and thanks again :)

best regards!
Cybertron #11
hey nick,

i have the discons again...

this option? /SetOption ("send_keep_alives", 1)

copy in the world file or?

thanks
Nick Gammon Australia Forum Administrator #12
Once you do that one time (and save the world), you should see:


send_keep_alives="y"


... in the world file, and it shouldn't be necessary to do it again.

However not every router will necessarily respond to those.

If you have done that (for every world you open), then try something like making a timer that sends something every couple of minutes (eg. "laugh") so that the world keeps some activity.
Cybertron #13
ok i have saved this option in the worldfile.

yeah, but this is not allowed in this mud... :) thats my problem.

I sign again in 2 days again about my problem.

see you and thanks again nick
Nick Gammon Australia Forum Administrator #14
Well if the MUD disconnects you after 20 minutes, and you aren't allowed to send the occasional message to keep you logged in, then things are pretty-much working as expected, right?

You aren't saying, are you, that the MUD disconnects you, even if you are sitting there typing in stuff?
Twisol USA #15
Many MUDs disconnect you if you spend too much time doing nothing. The problem comes when you're disconnected by the router, not the MUD server. I remember having my Achaea timeout set to an hour, but I kept getting disconnected after half an hour. Furthermore, MUSHclient wasn't even aware of the disconnect until I tried to do something. Keepalives fix that issue.

Yeah i have think the muds disconnect me, the wizzards from the mud tells me, its no the mud, its youre client.

ok i post my problem here and you say my problem is the router :)

and yeah, in my mud we haves any list and stats to train with the logintime. now i start a timer or so... so i cheat.

:) i hope you understand me, but i think with the option its all fine now. no discons at 12 hours.

Well if they don't do it, it isn't necessarily the client, as we said before. Maybe their router, maybe your router, are set up to drop a connection if nothing happens on it for 20 minutes.
Cybertron #18
but with youre option nick, works now... i dont have any discon.
