I recently renamed my xelagot bots and changed their avs, one took fine but
the other keeps going back to the old av no matter how many times I tell her
to change to the new and no matter whether or not I change preferences,
she's the mirror bot in the world. So after she mirrors, instead of wearing
the new av as her default she puts on the old one. Does anyone know what's
causing this? Perhaps I need to edit the ini file ... if so what line(s)? Or
is it the mirror file that's causing it? I'm stumped ...

I suggest you read the script file first, most comments on how to work
with the script are written at the beginning of it.

Are you running both bots off the same control panel?
Or starting it 'twice' to have a panel for each bot?

From what you are saying, it sounds like the two panel method.

If you run TWO panels (and thats easy to do, just start the bot twice) then
you have two seperate bots that will 'save' the same INI file when you close
them, BUT>

The bot you close LAST will get the 'good' save of the INI file, and any
changes you make on the other bot will be lost.

If you do not need two panels, the run just the one panel for both bots and
change between them using the BOT menu to switch.

Also, any script with the line RUN will automatically try to start up and
enter the last world it was in.

Hope that helps, as I have been through this problem myself in the past.

Karten,

opening two xelagot applications from the same folder can cause many
problems, since they share not only the ini file, but many others,
like aw.dll and the cache, and this sharing is not synchronised. It
is not recommended to do this, if you need more than one application,
start them each in their own folder.

Good information Karten ... your kind reply is much appreciated. But as Alex
pointed out it was that I had not changed the bot's av in the beginning of
the script ... sometimes people forget the lil things. Hugzzz

I fully agree with Alex's comment about problems with running it twice from
same folder and normally I dont do that on a routine basis.
And making sure a script has been changed for what you want soooooo easy to
miss, and have done that too.

Anyway glad we could both help you Lady.
