| For some reason, whenever I shutdown the MUD, all my mobs and objects disappear. They aren't there anymore. Example:
((I created an object called 'chocolate chip cookie' vnum 1000 in room vnum 21482))
<hp 30000 mana 30000 mv 30000>shutdown mud now
MUD Shutdown by System Operator
((login again))
<hp 30000 mana 30000 mv 30000>goto 21482
Object Creation Room
You are in Zamnedix's private object creation & testing room.
Exits:None.
((Notice no objects? The cookie was there before.))
<hp 30000 mana 30000 mv 30000>ofind 1000
No object has that vnum.
The same thing happened with one of my mobs.
But my areas are always the same. If I create an area or edit one, they stay. But the objects and mobs don't. I added resets too.
Can someone please help me? | | Top |

| Did you make sure to savearea or foldarea?
Also, try invoking the item. Make sure there is a reset so it stays in that room. |

| What are you using? Cygwin?
After you save it, before shutting down, is the item still in the area file? And after you shut down, is the item in the area file?
Can you show us the resets? |

| | But how the cookie was there in the first time? I mean, the first time is just after you saved the area? After that the area file have no cookie? | | Top |

| | The first time, it is in memory. You need to convince it to write that memory to the area file. |

| What's the vnum range you've got assigned to yourself?
You're doing a goto command to room 21482, but then creating a cookie object out of number 1000. There's a strong chance that 1000 is outside of your assigned range. If 1000 is outside of your assigned area, then it will not get written with your file data when it's saved.
The fold_area function starts at your first vnum and runs in sequence to your last vnum, saving only things within that range to the area file. fold_area is called by both the foldarea command and the savearea command. | | Top |

| I'm the 'supreme entity' of my mud, and I own the server.
Do I still have to assign stuff to myself? | | Top |

| | Yes. You were trying to make the vnum of the cookie 1000. There is no area with those vnums. That is why it wasn't saving. You need to put it in a valid area. |
