Summary Players cannot save their characters

Question Players cannot save their characters - they seem to save but when they connect later on, their changes have been lost.

Summary	Players cannot save their characters
Question	Players cannot save their characters - they seem to save but when they connect later on, their changes have been lost.
Answer	Some versions of the SMAUG download have missing player directories, with the result that when a player saves his character, the character is not actually saved, so that next time s/he logs in the character does not exist. To fix this, navigate to the "player" directory, and create empty directories called "A", "B", "C" ... up to "Z". There will already be an "L" directory with the file Lordrom in it. One way of doing this is to open a "command" window, and type this: `cd \smaug\player mkdir A mkdir B mkdir C` ... and so on up to Z, but omitting L
