The "nerve center" of my package is my prompt trigger. It basically looks for something along the lines of: %d(%d) %d(%d) %d(%d) to grab the max and current values for hitpoints, mana and moves respec ...

Couldn't find another topic on this; this has to be the most infuriating issue I have ever encountered with Z/CMUD and I've been a long-time user. Nearly EVERY time I click on a Map, it automatically ...

So I thought I was getting the hang of things, but I attempted to write an alias this evening which fell flat on its face.

My goal is to type:
synch <arbitrary length string>

The result I ...

I would like to log the ANSI color output from my MUD but would much rather have the output in HTML so I can easily post/share with friends.

I know I've read about plugins that exist to do this, bu ...

Follow up question. I wrote my own prompt detection trigger:

~[(%d)/(%d)hp~]~[(%d)/(%d)mv~]
#var hp %1;#var maxhp %2;#var mv %3;#var maxmv %4

It seems to work but suffers from a major shortco ...

On the MUD I play my prompt can potentially start with any of a number of different characters, so the auto prompt detection fails to load variables because it only looks for one.

I have a few ques ...

#if {@incasting = 0} {gt Sanctuary down!}

Elsewhere I have triggers to set incasting to 1 if I'm in the process of doing something that could be interrupted by the grouptell command. These work a ...

I use the same method but I don't issue noclear nor do I use the QUEUE command.

I simply:

#TRIGGER {landmark} {#TELEPORT vnum}

It works perfectly for me.

Hmm, not 100% but try:

#ALIAS sail {#MAP %1;~sail %1}

When using #WALK the command to open doors is sent automatically. This is a good thing.

On PK MUDs, open doors tell the enemy where you're at. This is a bad thing.

Is there any way to teach #WAL ...

So my map is getting fairly large - up to around 15k total rooms on -/+ 7 Z planes.

It's getting harder and harder to track down incomplete portions of the map.

Is there an easy query I can run ...

1) Think of something I want to do. "Well I died there, it would be cool if next time I could..."

2) Check manual and ask people if it's possible.

Is there a way to toggle between Follow/Creation mode from within aliases and triggers?

The particular problem I'm trying to solve is this: normally rooms on the mud show up like this:
An Alta ...

There's a lot of common causes of this. One of the most frequent is if your MUD has weather information displayed so sometimes you will see:

The Merchant's Way (sunny)

And later when you come th ...

Incidentally you can also simply right-click on the icon in the task bar and choose "Move."

Thanks guys.

The "Do not enter" status only applies to #WALKS and won't actually have any effect if I manually move through that room, right? 'cause once I'm in a boat [Deep Water] is actually 0 co ...

So I'm setting up a lot of waypoints using the #WALK command but one problem I'm running into is that the MUD I play has certain terrain types which are impassable under particular conditions. For exa ...

Any reference for this? I can't seem to find it anywhere in the documentation and it's not exactly intuitive what things like the keypad * are referenced as.

Thanks.

So if I wanted to implement a temporary solution, would it be possible to gag or replace the /\ and [] in the exit names so CMUD sees only standard format exits and interprets them as such?

e.g., c ...

Thanks for the tips guys.

I'm an experienced programmer but new to CMUD and lua; can you advise me how to implement these scripts? i.e., where do I add them and how do I ensure they "take over" the ...

This is probably a really simple problem for you experts but I'm just getting started with CMUD mapping.

The exits in my MUD show up like:

[Exits: north south east]

However, there are two typ ...

Okay, just one question.

#mapquery ( "[Name] LIKE '%Field%'" )

Gives me too many results, including areas that are actually [Mountain] but with names like "Mountains Near a Field" or whatever.
...

Without going to all the trouble myself of writing a script to do this for you, my advice is to use the results from a %mapquery and pass the room number and desired color to %roomcol, using #noop to ...

So, the MUD I play lists its room names like so:

A Field Before the Mountains [Field]

I would like to parse the existing database, and color rooms based on the [Terrain] value after each room na ...
