Zugg Software :: View topic - Mapper on a MUCK: Using zones on the same page?

Beginner Joined: 01 Feb 2003 Posts: 27 Location: USA

Yet another MUCK question.

On a MUCK, the zones that are on it are on the same map.
As such, it seems odd to move zones to different pages.
Can the zones be left on the same page, and simply have another indicator of zone lines?
Perhaps a dotted line or some such around the rooms in each area.
Is zone perhaps the wrong term to use on the mapper for what I want?

Don't create seperate zones?

I didn't use seperate zones, but I would like to somehow show that certain rooms are in another zone.

Zones are just a word for I want to split this into a another page. Since you don't want them on seperate pages then obviously you don't want to use zones. It is like the difference between a folding map that shows an entire state and a book map that covers all the same area. One is all one map, the other is done in zones referred to by page numbers. Obviously the land doesn't change based on which map you look at. It is simply a preference of how to view it.

If you really want the rooms to all be in one zone and have dotted lines demarking the edges of some other area specification then you might look into zMapper to preform this sort of enhancement. Such things are exactly what it was designed and created for.

Can zmapper tie into zmud and be used to move yourself around? Can it import the zmud mapper's databases?

I believe with the Zmapper program (Another zuggsoft product AND Zmud plugin) you can draw a box around rooms or something like that Im not sure cause I'm to lazy to open it :P Download it and try it out.
