Alright, This should be pretty simple but I'm new to the automapper. It easily detects these types of rooms:

The Main Room of the Red's Retreat [NSW]

Where it adds the directions North, South and West. However, when it comes across these type of rooms:

An Antechamber of the Red's Retreat [NEU Quit]

It bugs out and doesn't add the room.

Is there a simple option I can set up to fix this?

EDIT:
Also, It bugs out when it has a line directly preceeding it. Like going in a direction and seeing:

The human soldier briefly inspects your belongings before allowing you to pass.
Caravan Road [EW]

Second Edit:
I fixed the second bug with the soldier, I just gagged the line.

For the second problem, you don't have to gag it. Instead, do #NOMAP on it. It will display, but the mapper will ignore it.

The first problem is a bit tricky. I'm trying to solve a similar problem. I think the solution may be to rewrite the line, with #sub, into something like: An Antechamber of the Red's Retreat [NEU] [Quit]. But I haven't actually tried it yet.

I thought that might be a solution, but it says the #SUB makes it ignore further parsing of triggers.

I've only partially tested this, but so far it looks good:

Are there other lines that are built similarly in your MUD? You might try going with a trigger like so:

#trigger {^([%w%s'])~[([NEWSUD]) *~]$)} {#tag name %1;#tag exit %2}

[] = a range of continuous characters that match the values within. In the first one (%w%s'), this means it matches any sort of multi-word phrase where the words can only contain letters and the apostrophe. The second one specifies only those specific letters, so it'd be any one-word string consisting only of the letters N, E, W, S, U, and D.
