Zugg Software :: View topic - Mapping in brief mode room/exit in same line

Okay, there's a trigger right in the help file for mapping that shows you exactly how to do this, but I can't for the life of me get it to work properly.

Rooms are displayed as such while in brief mode:

Lobby of the Society of Scryers [n,e,se].

Notice the trailing '.', that is included in the brief description of the room. I can't get the following trigger to send the correct info to the mapper.
#tr {(*) ~[(*)~].} {#tag name,exit {%1} {%2}}

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, because the mapper just isn't functioning correctly for me in brief mode. Are there any other things I may be missing?

1)
Did you #TAG your prompt and reconfigure the mapper to make it work?

#TRIGGER {^~>} {#TAG prompt}
Tags a line starting with a > as the MUD prompt

A symptom of this I believe is if you manually type in #OK it allows you to advance.

2)
Did you uncheck the option

Trying to think of what all might be hampering you.

My prompt is blank, as in I removed it, so it's basically a blank line I suppose.

I'm not sure whether I unchecked the match description, but I'm not sure that would have anything to do with it, as the mapper isn't recognizing even the first room.

You still have to tag your prompt. The mapper needs to know when the room output ends.

Untested but maybe you can get around things with

#tr {(*) ~[(*)~].} {#tag name,exit {%1} {%2};#OK}

I don't know its long term effects though.
