Help with mapper configuration please
|
I am trying to set my configuration to notice room name and description correctly and not having much luck here is a sample room all follow the same basic format.
| Code: |
N
\ | /
Southview street W ---*--- E
/ | \
S
You are standing at the intersection of Main Street and Southview
street. Main leads north and Southview runs to west and east.
Just north of here is the center of town. To the south lies a
slightly disreputable looking, noisy, and gin-smelling building
with a large garish tankard of ale painted over the door.
There are four obvious exits: north, south, west, east
A tall street light.

This sample was copied from the autoconfigure on the mapper. The only thing I am able to get the mapper to recognize is the room exits. What paragraphs or lines do I need to set for it to get the room name "Southview Street" and the room desc. ? |

If the compass is always like that, you could do something silmilar to this:
| Code: |
| #TRIGGER {(*)%sW[-]~*[-]E$} {#TAG Roomname} |
I believe this is the right syntax, but there could be a better way. I'm sure one of the Gurus will correct me if I'm wrong.
By the way, use the code tags to preserve spacing.

That would probably work, Charneus, if the E and W are always present. I suspect, however, that the compass rose is supposed to indicate the directions of exits, so E and W might not always appear. I'll think about this one some more.
