Mapper Help
 
I need help writing my trigger(s) for mapper. I assume I need three; one for Room Name, one for room description paragraphs, and one for the exit line. I am including a bunch of other stuff that I have been trying to write #nomap triggers for and using the built-in mapper configure. But this approach is not working. Any help would be appreciated.

This is a mudos mud.

I can set my prompt but the prompt actually only appears on consecutive CRs.

Here is an example of mud room output.

Elven Forest: Among the many trees
The land is lit up by the eerie light of the waxing three quarter moon.

This is an elven forest with lots of trees. The trees in this part of the forest are tall and majestic and their trunks are light shades of silver and brown and very smooth to the touch. There is the fresh smell of flowers in the air. Some birds singing in the branches overhead chirp softly. There seems to be a small clearing in the trees to the south.


Very warm night in The Season of Magic with very thin cloud cover.
Nice light rain.
There are eight obvious exits : west, northwest, north, northeast, east, southeast, south and southwest.
Two Dwarves and Three Elves are here.
Rope.
Shovel.
Torch.

a. Directory path and filename are only if I am on with my immortal character.

b. Room Description can be multiple paragraphs.

c. exit line can also be:

There is one obvious exit: northeast.

There are no obvious exits.


d. Moon description, cloud description and precipitation line will only appear for outside rooms.

e. Moon Description will only appear at night.

f. Precipitation only appears during actual downfall.

h. Living inventory is of course optional and corresponds to actual inventory and does not appear if there is no one in the room.

i. Same for each object inventory except there is one line per item group.

The configuration wizard should have no problem autodetecting this if you provide an Exit Line Keyword. In this case "obvious exit" would be good. Manually set that in the configuration then reconfigure. You may want to adjust the line numbers it selects based on which text it highlights.
