Okay, let's see if I can give ya all the information in one shot. I am using 6.22, and I let the automapper detect how a room looks in my MUD. All that information was correct. But, when I put it in "map" mode and move, it won't follow me and create a new room.

Any ideas?

I can only assume that the information wasn't all correct..

Check the prompt, the code word for the exits, and where the exits + room desc start (paragraph/line).

Did it work in another version before? If so you could try importing the settings from there.

I've got a problem with the automapper...

It autoconfigured properly and does an excellent job most of the time... except that the room description changes with the whether/lighting. When this happens it sees the room as new and creates a stacked room.

When I turn off the description in the config settings, it starts reading the lighting as the room name instead of the name of the room...

Here's a sample room description:
Grimhaven Outer Pathway
Dark clouds cover the sky.
This area is brightly lit.
[Exits: E W ]

line 1 is the room name
line 2 is the weather
line 3 is the lighting level
line 4 is the exits

While its using the room descriptions it won't FOLLOW into a room where the lighting level or the whether has changed....

Any suggestions?

Thats normal behaviour, I'm afraid.

To avoid this, make a list containing all the possible weather and lighting messages, trigger on that, and issue the command '#NOMAP', which tells zMUD to ignore this line when mapping.

Eg: Weather = "Dark clouds cover the sky.|Its raining.|The sun is shining."
#trigger {@Weather} {#NOMAP}
