Timers resetting when reconnecting to a world.

Using Version 4.94.

I currently have some aliases set up on a world that I connect to, to create some timers and to display the time left on said timers.

Here is an example of the alias to create a timer:

AddTimer ("Climb_timer", 1, 32, 0, "Climb fail reset!",
timer_flag.Enabled + timer_flag.OneShot + timer_flag.TimerNote + timer_flag.ActiveWhenClosed + timer_flag.Temporary, "")

And here is an example of the alias to show the time remaining on a timer:

Note(GetTimerInfo ("Climb_timer", 13))

However, I have a bit of an issue. If I disconnect from a world, the timer will keep on ticking, going down and down etcetera, which is perfectly fine, and is working as intended. However, if I then reconnect to that world by pressing enter and clicking yes, it automatically resets the timer. This is not something I want it to do. Is there a way to disable this?

What you're doing seems ok to me. Is it possible that you have an automated trigger that fires on reconnect that is causing this?

Nope, the only triggers I have are ones that recognise specific lines of text and colour them.

I don't see anything relevant in the release notes since 4.94, but just in case I missed something, could you try updating MUSHclient executable to the latest release? http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=13918

Isn't the 4.94 the latest stable? And is there a way to update without losing all my aliases and triggers?

5.05 is the latest release.

As for not losing your aliases and triggers, those are stored in your world (.mcl) file, which you can backup before updating.

Thanks, this seems to have fixed it. Didn't know 5.05 was the stable release, as the downloads page still says 4.94 was the stable version.

What does stable mean anyway? :)

It looks like that is by design:

Therefore I’m not sure why upgrading fixed it.
