In an older version of zmud I had this code and it worked perfectly.
Now in the newer version for some reason it works, but if i change zones, it don't work, and i need to close the mapper which results in an error, and then open it again to run it.

The problem is probably %i
In the new version this got set back to it's real meaning (which I don't know)
but just replace all of your %i with %repeatnum
that shouuld do the trick, let me know.

Nope, don't make a diff.

Type:
search

result:
....
RoomNum 14662 Room: The Aardwolf Plaza Hotel SW: .e;.(aard)

change zone and type:
search

result:
RoomNum Room: SW:

Close map & get an error box saying invalid pointer error or the access application error in zmud.exe type of things.
and while the search is running anyother triggers always give invalid pointer errors as well, and at times prevent me from shutting down the mapper and zmud. need to end process in task manager

All i really want is something that shows from where I am standing in an area, the vnum that you can assign under the "Other" setting in the mapper, the room name and the SW.

It looks like after changing zones the loop fires once even though it doesnt return any valid info, so I thought the %numrooms value is probably off.
I tried this :

Works one HECK of a lot better now in that changing zones will give me info. But still having the error when I close the mapper after changing zones:
The #'s and letters change each time. And if i close the mud down my .mud file fails to save, and i get errors in zmud.exe

The other thing is that i'm getting rooms that don't belong in the zone & wrong room names:

You need to use the %mapvnum function to convert the %i values into actual mapper values.

Holy crap, that works SLOW!
Outputting about 2 rooms a second.
But at least it's working :-)
Thanks! Even tho i still get the same errors when i close the map etc..

Now, any idea about outputting all speedwalks to al rooms in all zones from one starting room?

You could try compacting/repairing your database to see if that alleviates some errors and slowness http://www.zuggsoft.com/files/jetcu40.exe

You might want to give the %mapquery function a try. This will require %roommode to be set to 1 to work with the return values, but may yield a slightly faster result.
