I need a script that renames all my _unnamed_ doors (i.e. door connection made but no specific door name given) to woodendoor. Any suggestions?

Thx :)

Set a default doorname in your mapper configuration. Then the mapper will automatically use this when the name is blank. It can be set in the section "Strings and Doors".

I'm using this script to quickly open and close doors. However it only works on doors I've named. This is why I want to give ALL the doors a specific name.

#var doorn %doorname( , n)
#var doors %doorname( , s)
#var doorw %doorname( , w)
#var doore %doorname( , e)
#var dooru %doorname( , u)
#var doord %doorname( , d)
#if (@doorn!=%null) {open @doorn}
#if (@doors!=%null) {open @doors}
#if (@doorw!=%null) {open @doorw}
#if (@doore!=%null) {open @doore}
#if (@dooru!=%null) {open @dooru}
#if (@doord!=%null) {open @doord}

Is it doable to make a function that flips through the vnums, checks for doors, if doors present, check that they all have a name, if not, call em door?

Thx!

There really isn't a check for doors beyond the check for doorname's. It is a small flaw in the scripting system. In order to overcome it a script would have to ask the mapper to generate a %walk string through each exit of a room and then examine that string for the 'open' command. The complexity of such a script is the reason why I said use the default system, however %doorname doesn't pickup the default. If you have Access on your system I would suggest you tinker about with it to produce a query that can update all your links appropiately. Barring that a pseudo-script would be something like:

#LOOP %numrooms {
#FORALL %roomexit(%mapvnum(%i)) {
#IF (%begins(%walk(%mapvnum(%i),%roomlink(%mapvnum(%i),%j),"open")) {#NOOP %doorname(%mapvnum(%i),%j,"woodendoor")}
}
}
