Walking around in zMUD's mapper...
 
Is it possible to walk around offline on a map? Where, you can see room description, exits and the like? And like if you walk north, the mapper will refresh and display the room's name description, exits that is on the mapping? ... Ohh, I hope someone understand me here =)

Yes it is very possible. I am sure you have noticed that the mapper by default will display information about the current room in offline mode. So the next step is to simply have a script detect whether your offline or online, and use commands appropiate to the situation.

I will assume you are used to walking with the number pad, it setup by default for that purpose.

#KEY KEY1 {#IF (%ctime=0) {#ECHO sw;#MOVE sw} {sw}}
#KEY KEY2 {#IF (%ctime=0) {#ECHO s;#MOVE s} {s}}
#KEY KEY3 {#IF (%ctime=0) {#ECHO se;#MOVE se} {se}}
#KEY KEY4 {#IF (%ctime=0) {#ECHO w;#MOVE w} {w}}
#KEY KEY5 {#IF (%ctime=0) {#ECHO look;#TELEPORT %roomnum()} {#IF (%trigger(AutoMapper)) {#LOOK} {look}}}
#KEY KEY6 {#IF (%ctime=0) {#ECHO e;#MOVE e} {e}}
#KEY KEY7 {#IF (%ctime=0) {#ECHO nw;#MOVE nw} {nw}}
#KEY KEY8 {#IF (%ctime=0) {#ECHO n;#MOVE n} {n}}
#KEY KEY9 {#IF (%ctime=0) {#ECHO ne;#MOVE ne} {ne}}
#KEY SUB {#IF (%ctime=0) {#ECHO u;#MOVE u} {u}}
#KEY ADD {#IF (%ctime=0) {#ECHO d;#MOVE d} {d}}

you know what, I don't think I need those triggers, (I'm not even sure what they do =p)all I do is click offline at the start screen and open up the mapper, and BOOM, there is what I was looking for, thank you for your help, =)

That's what he was saying.. those aliases (not triggers.. ;) ) are in place by default providing the functionality you just described. Neat, huh? :)

When the "Output map info when offline" setting is checked in Edit, Map Properties, Interface, zMUD uses its direction commands in the same way it does when you are on the MUD to keep track of your position. Make sure the map is in follow mode and not map mode, however.
