Player Profiles

 

This screen is where you set up all player profiles for login to MUD servers.  Each of the screen’s controls are described below.

 

Player Profiles Screen Elements

 

 

Profiles Grid

This grid displays all of the current profiles available.  Each profile consists of a player name and a MUD to login to.  This allows for multiple players on the same MUD as well as using the same player name on multiple MUDs.  Please consult the rules for each MUD, for many restrict, if not ban outright, multiple characters for the same person.  Double click on a profile in the grid to select it for the login screen.  Selecting a profile in this grid copies its login information below for either modification, or to be used as a template for creation of new profiles.

 

Add Profile Button

Opens up the new/edit profile screen to create a brand new profile configuration.

 

Edit Profile Button

Opens up the new/edit profile screen to edit the currently selected profile configuration.

 
Export Profile Button

Exports the currently selected player profile configuration.  You will be prompted to select a directory to place the file.  You can rename the file anything you like, but do not change the file’s .TKP extension.  The configuration for a particular profile consists of things like aliases and macro settings, as well as screen sizes and positions.  Player names, MUD names and player profile information such as passwords and scripts are NOT saved in an exported configuration.

 

Note: The player profile you choose to export the configuration of will not be deleted from the database upon export.  The information is simply saved to the file.

 

>>> WARNING <<<

Do not ever open, edit, or change the extension of a .TKP configuration file.  One wrong move and you could corrupt the entire file, losing the configuration contained in it.

 

Delete Profile Button

Deletes the currently selected profile.  This cannot be undone, and you will be prompted for confirmation.  Did we mention it's permanent?  Sometimes it's a good idea to export a profile for safekeepking offline before actually deleting it from the database.

 
Close Button

Closes the Player Profiles screen.
