| Also can you see if you can find a file named something like MFCxx.tmp in your MUSHclient directory tree? And if so, does it have inside it what looks like your world file?
Another thing to look into is, does MUSHclient have write access to whatever directory that file is in?
And possibly, if you have been saving every 5 minutes for a few weeks, maybe you have thousands of these files and it can't fit any more there. Maybe. |

| Here is another thing to try. Edit the plugin, and replace:
if GetInfo (111) then -- world file changed?
if Save () == false then
ColourNote ("green", "", "World file saved.")
else
ColourNote ("white", "red", "Couldn't save world file.")
end -- if
end -- if world file changed
By:
if GetInfo (111) then -- world file changed?
DoCommand ("save")
end -- if world file changed
This saves in a different way - effectively being as if you clicked on File -> Save.
Since that is done a different way, maybe it will work better. Since there is no error return, you would need to check that the file actually saves, by looking at the date/time stamp. |

| Ok... let me try to answer all these questions. Hopefully I don't miss any.
Yes, it pops up as a dialogue box. When I click ok, all timers fail to work until I reset them.
Yes, it is KoD.mcl on the disk. (By that token, no, it doesn't have a dash in it.)
There are 747 MFCxxxx.tmp files in the MUSHclient/worlds directory! I'll delete them, but I don't think it's a problem with anything as far as write permissions, capacity, etc. go, because it DOES save successfully 95% of the time. I'm going to go the DoCommand route, because I've never had a problem saving from the file menu before. If I'd known about that function, I'd have just tried that before I posted anything; somehow, I overlooked it.
Also, I've noticed that GetInfo(111) doesn't reflect changes to world-internal variables. Is there any way to detect changes in those? | | Top |

| I'll also mention that, when using the save(""); function, both in JScript and in the LUA plugin you gave me, if MUSHclient crashed (which, my computer crashed a little bit ago, hense the reason for the autosave in the first place :P) any changes I've made still aren't reflected. The modified date changes, but it doesn't actually save anything new, it just seems to rewrite the world file with the exact same data.
I should clarify, it seems to save changes to triggers, timers, etc., but this is like the fourth time I've changed one of the custom colors. | | Top |

It seemed to work for me. Er, well it worked if I changed the variable in the GUI. It seems that SetVariable doesn't set that flag. I have added a new GetInfo (118) in version 4.41 that would let you query that.
Meanwhile, you could make your own SetVariable function that sets the variable, and also sets a flag you can check.
As for the absence of changes, that seems to support the idea mentioned on some other web sites, that it actually writes a temporary file, and then fails to rename it. Thus, something got written, just not to the actual world file. Deleting those temporary files may help, at least in the short term.
