Okay, im having a lot of trouble with the zMUD mapper at the moment. Im trying to map a city so that its name is stored, and the directions come out properly, following is a sample of the mud output:

/{main directory}/{domain}/{file} ({co-ordinates})
This corridor is thin and long. There are some uselful things about, but ill skip them now as this is just a sample.
There are three obvious exits: south, southwest and southeast.

I want the name of the room to be the directory (i get this as i am a wizard

)and as i said the directions to come out properly, i do not want to store the room description.

Does anyone know how i can do this?
Love Roxy.

P.S is it possible to change the color of a room (on the map) using a trigger?

#TAG would work here.. so you could think along the lines of:
/{main directory}/{domain}/{file} ({x?/y?/z?})

#TRIGGER {~/(%*)~/(%*)~/(%*) ~((%d)~/(%d)~/(%d)~)} {#TAG name {%concat("/",%1,"/",%2,"/",%3," (",%4,"/",%5,"/",%6,")")}}

Can't remember if LPC has spaces or not in the domain. If it doesn't %x would be better than %*

quote:

TAG

Syntax: #TAG line-kind [parameters]
..

#TAG would work here. I am not sure if you need to grab
the exits and replace the commas to |

So maybe something like:

#TRIGGER {There are %w obvious exits: (%*).} {#VAR v_Exits %replace(%replace("%1",", ","|")," and ","|");#TAG exit {@v_Exits}}

Changes the current room you are in to red:
#NOOP %roomcol(%roomname(),$FF0000)

quote:

roomname

Syntax: %roomname( room, [s])

Return or set the name of the room to string s
..
roomcol

Syntax: %roomcol( room, [color])

Return or set the color of a room. The Color can be a string like "red", "blue", etc. Or it can be an RGB value in the format $RRGGBB where each value is a hexadecimal value. For example, $FF0000 sets the color to all red..

Half baked so beware of syntax

Thanks for your reply, but now i have another problem the #TAG command doesnt seem to work, or doesnt do anything, one of the two

, Im using v6.16 if that make any difference?

Also do i have to '#make' the room first?

After you create triggers that use the #TAG command, you need to reconfigure the mapper to have it work.
