For the MUD I'm on, the mapper wants to put a door inbetween EVERY room it creates (while in map creation mode). I don't know if it's a bug or if it's just a feature I can turn off, but i would rather it not. I have reconfigured it a few times, with still no results. Any ideas would be great. Here is the a sample room for this mud (DragonballZ World: Reloaded):

Before a Small Building
A small building has been poorly constructed to the east. The building is basically just bricks stacked on bricks and mud thrown ontop of it. It seems to be falling apart, but remarkably it is quite strong. Makes you wonder who could have created such a building and for what reason.
Exits: north east south.

*edit* It's also not following in Follow Mode.... Sad

Make sure everything is getting configure propperly It sounds like your exits line is not configured right. Delete/disable any #Tag triggers you have as the mapper in the new version should be able to configre everything without much help

In the Mapper-Config-Config Settings-Exits Set these options and turn off the rest
Room Exits
Exit line contains Key
and put this in the text box Exits:

Then in config settings-Prompt
fill that out using your mud prompt IE if your prompt is

<46/100hp 200ma LOTS of other stuff>
then use this for the pattern
~<%d/%dhp %dma *~>
make sure regex trigger is not selected (unless you have the regex pattern)

also checking auto detect prompt and complex prompt *if you have a prompt with numbers and such* doesn't hurt

If you don't have a prompt it might be possible to do this in the prompt pattern and turn off all other features ^$

Then do a mapper reconfigure

Also in the mapper config settings somewhere there is an option to turn off auto door making.

Automatic door creation can be turned off in the Strings and Doors section of the mapper configuration. However the problem you are having clearly indicates a configuration problem. Nexela's directions are bang on, and should solve both problems for you.

My mud has the same output and mine works fine. You can turn off auto door creation. I've never had it help me any. The reason its not following in follow mode is because its not seeing the completion of the move. This is usually done by it finding the exits in the new room you move to. When I auto configed I had a similar problem on my mud and I had to add the exit line keyword to get it to work. I put Exit Line contains "Exit" without the colon, because on 1 exit rooms its not exits: its exit: so try that.
