Ok, there are these couple of rooms that have a room name, a very short description or no description at all.

Now, when i use speed walk with these rooms in the way, my prompt will do something like this:
[ 2220H 2074G 3500M ] <XP: 5805353> A Web-Choked Hallway

that is all a single line.
this seems to stop my little blue dot on my map in the last room i was in where the prompt and the room name were not a single line but two.
for instance:
[ 2220H 2074G 3502M ] <XP: 5805353> n
Passage to the Walkers.

First line is my prompt with my command (n), second line is the room desc

please can anybody help me with this?
I believe this is map and prompt related.

Maybe try a #PSUB on the end of your prompt to put in a carriage return?

Is there a way to fix this another way? maybe with options, i could not find one and that #psub i tried my best for it but it will sometimes take out lines and it still doesn't do the trick i wanted. also i don't quite understand what you mean #psub- end of my prompt -'to put in a carriage return'. i tried though. thanks.

basically, when i have this:
[ 2220H 2074G 3500M ] <XP: 5805353> A Web-Choked Hallway
the map is unhappy.

#trigger {(XP: %d)~>)} {#PSUB %concat(%1,%cr) %x1}

Oh, I have this in the first post. i noticed this with rooms that have only one line-long description or no description at all. they only have a room name and the exits, however i do not know if this problem is due to this fact. *shrug*

first thing you should try is see if your mud alows a "newline" in your prompt usualy something like "\n" if you set your prompt with all the info you want in your prompt and then put a "newline" your prompt well always be on a line on its own and youll be able to set your prompt triggers useing the at begining ^ and at end $ of line locking your prompt down. so best thing to do if read about your prompt settings on your mud and find out how to set it up useing a newline once this is done youll find alot of problems just go away on there own

nope darn. that was some helpful information though.
i can speedwalk and have the prompt and room name on the same line and it will work, however
in some case with different circumstances it does not work properly.

Ok this is real good to look at here:
If the prompt and room name are on the same line AND the room description wasn't there it wouldn't work properly. Getting the prompt and roomname on the same line was because of how fast i would move.

When i put Automatic step confirmation on room name it acts like this on all the rooms. If automatic step confirmation is on 'match first line of room description' it works absolutely great, except in the previous case. (prompt-roomname, no description)

I'm a little leery about disabling automatic step confirmation. So if anyone knows a way to fix this, please please please let me know or hint me a trigger command or anything.
I would seriously appreciate this. greatly!

What about something like this then:

#trigger {(XP: %d)~>)(*)$} {#SUB {%1 ~>};#SH %crlf%2}

hmm that trigger is not working... :( but is there a way to have the mapper notice the room
when the room name is on the same line as the prompt?

Adjust the mapper configuration for detecting room names so that Match Name at end of line is checked, and Match Name at beginning of line is not checked.
