View Full Version : Waggle bugged?

I admit, I'm a bit paranoid about keeping my spells up. Whenever I can't think of what else to do, I type ;waggle and go from there. It's the last thing I do before quitting, and the first thing I do when logging back in... which, I would think, would make the login ;waggle unnecessary.

I've noticed, though, that whenever I log in and attempt it, that it starts spelling me up from scratch, as though I didn't have any spells on me whatsoever. I know I do; my active spells window shows them all there, I just cast them all before logging out, etc.

At first, I thought it might be because I was starting the spellup too early, before Lich had a chance to finish running the updater or something. So I finished a spellup, logged out, and logged immediately back in. I waited for everything to finish running, then tried ;waggle again. Same thing. It's spelling me up from scratch.

Any ideas?

Make sure that Lich has permission to write to the directory your running from. This sometimes is an issue for people using Vista+ with the higher default security. The norm is to place the Lich directory inside your User folder.

Also, I've seen issues where people force quit the game and it doesn't save the settings. Try to make sure you always type quit into the command line to close wizard/stormfront.

Lastly, sometimes a rogue leftover instance of lich.rbw can be running and cause problems for saving setting information. Restart you computer if your unfamiliar with viewing/ending processes.

Let us know if any of those above three possible answers helped you.

Thanks, typing quit in seems to have fixed it. Odd, but simple enough to fix. Thanks again!

When I had this problem in the past, it was a folder permissions issue. I simply gave my sell full permissions, applied to all sub folders, removed read-only to all files / sub-folders, etc.. Gotta love Vista. (not)
