ZMapper Help
|
Greetings Zuggsters,
I have no idea what I've done, but I now notice that once I put it in create map mode, and move n,s,e or w, the room wont be created and also when in follow mode the reticule does not move from room to room, it only moves in certain rooms.
Any help would greatly be appreciated :) |

Sounds like your Directions in the settings file got disabled or deleted. Look in the System folder for a Directions and DirectionsDiag folder. Make sure they are both enabled. If they are not there at all, you need to recreate them or reload the settings file (which should bring the folders back).
If the folders are enabled, it's possible the directions themselves were turned off. Look at those to see if they're enabled.

Thanks for responding, I checked the Directions/DirectionsDiag folder within the system folder and they were both enabled. I did not understand the second part of what you told me to do?

It's also possible that the folders are there but the directions are not. Click on View|Directions and then look in the folders to see if they are there.

Again, thanks for responding, I checked the view|Directions as you said and to my knowledge they are not there, is it possible to reset all these setting and start back at the beginning even if i lose all my maps.

Be careful, as these directions are INHERITED settings. If you don't have the Show Inherited menu option checked then you won't see any of them (but they would still be there). Classes of Inherited settings will be physically written to your primary settings file, but the inherited settings won't be.
If these directions are not there after you've checked the above option, then you can easily remake them.
In the Directions folder
n|north --> reverse of s|south
s|south --> reverse of n|north
e|east --> reverse of w|west
w|west --> reverse of e|east
In the DirectionsDiag folder
h|northwest --> reverse of l|southeast
j|northeast --> reverse of k|southwest
k|southwest --> reverse of j|northeast
l|southeast --> reverse of h|northwest

A quick way of checking if the directions are faulty is by entering this into the command line:
.2n
and pressing enter. You should see "n" on two separate lines instead of "2n" in a single line.
The problem with the mapper seems like it may be related to not matching rooms correctly. Try re-configuring the mapper and make sure that it captures every part of the room (name, descriptions, exits) correctly.

As you said I should not get 2n but N, one on two seperate lines, but infact I did get 2n even after reconfiguring it. For some reason when I configure, it doesnt pick up the exits, it picks up text and my prompt with my hps/mana etc.

Well, if you get 2n, that confirms the problem with the directions. Try entering this into the command line:
#DIR ns {n|north} n "System|Directions"
#DIR sn {s|south} s "System|Directions"
#DIR we {w|west} w "System|Directions"
#DIR ew {e|east} e "System|Directions"
#DIR ud {u|up} u "System|Directions"
#DIR du {d|down} d "System|Directions"
#DIR hl {nw|northwest} nw "System|DirectionsDiag"
#DIR jk {ne|northeast} ne "System|DirectionsDiag"
#DIR kj {sw|southwest} sw "System|DirectionsDiag"
#DIR lh {se|southeast} se "System|DirectionsDiag"

Hit ESC at the character selection screen to bring up a blank window. See if the speedwalk problem happens there too.
Also, check to make sure that the speedwalk character (.) is enabled. This is found when you click on the Prefs button and select Special Characters.

Check the setting of the speedwalk character (mentioned above).

Really don't know what else to suggest except to double-check on everything mentioned previously (the direction folders are enabled, the directions themselves exists and are enabled, otherwise you re-create them, etc.)

Muhahahaha, thank you so much, did that and the directions now work, but 1 last thing...When I configure the Zmapper, It never picks up the exits and always adds my prompt and/or other general chats.
