Setting up the Mapper
 
So I'm trying to set up the mapper and have encountered an issue with how it records room names. A room name shows up as
Quote:
Central Square - [mid-morning] [ Smooth ]
and the time-of-day portion is cause it to create new rooms when I go back on them at different times. I'd like to keep the information, since if you're inside it just says Inside, and that's useful to know, but really, how do I fix this?

You create a trigger that #TAGs the proper data from the line.

Code:
#trigger {^([%w%s]) - ~[(*)~]$} {
  #tag name %1
  //do whatever else you want with the name data here (%1)
  //do whatever you want with the time/other data (%2)
}

Usually in the mud-specific package is fine, unless you plan to share your mapper settings via the library

So I added this trigger, and the mapper stopped.. mapping. It wouldn't register adding new rooms until I disabled it. I'm going to play around with the format of that line a bit I guess. I don't really understand all the syntax.

you need to reconfigure the mapper ever time you add new #TAG triggers, so the map knows what it is supposed to do
