When I try to use mapper while playing a MUD, I found the mapper can not recognize the MUD's some directions, which like northup, southdown and so on. What can I do to make the mapper use the directions?

You need to first use zMapper to create these new directions and specify how they would be drawn. One of the zMapper tutorials talks a bit about this.

I think I have made a mistake in my previous post. The tool i used to create map was the mapper in zMUD not the zMapper software.
And now,I have a new problem.I set all the new directions, and set the all the other settings.For example , I created a new direction a, appointed its reverse as b, commands as nu|northup, map as north.
All the things seemed to be so well until i tried to use the map to walk.After creating a zone, i clicked another room , the zMUD sent some walk commands to the MUD server.I found some of the commands are not correct.When it needed a north command, the zMUD mapper sent a northup command. It seemed the settings of a(nu|northup) had override the settings of n(north) in mapper.
Thanks for your help!

That means you have to buy the zMapper to draw your map.

the zMapper is powerful than zmud 7.21's automapper, and the zMapper can be called by zmud 7.21.

Well, I have successed in dealing with this.
Actually in zmud7.21, you can add the map direction as westup, northup, etc. I didn't notice that before.
But the automap still can't tell the northup or westup. You have to add the exit by yourself.
Here is my prompts:

#direction pq "wu" westup
#direction qp "ed" eastdown
#direction fg "eu" eastup
#direction gf "wd" westdown
#direction ab "su" southup
#direction ba "nd" northdown
#direction mc "nu" northup
#direction cm "sd" southdown

#trig {^[exit]: (*)$} {#tag exit %1; myexit = %1}
#alias onroomcreate {
myexit = %trim(%replace( @myexit, "and","|"))
#if (%ismember( "westup", @myexit)) {#echo %roomexit( ,wu)}
#if (%ismember( "eastup", @myexit)) {#echo %roomexit( ,eu)}
#if (%ismember( "southup", @myexit)) {#echo %roomexit( ,su)}
#if (%ismember( "northup", @myexit)) {#echo %roomexit( ,nu)}
#if (%ismember( "westdown", @myexit)) {#echo %roomexit( ,wd)}
#if (%ismember( "eastdown", @myexit)) {#echo %roomexit( ,ed)}
#if (%ismember( "southdown", @myexit)) {#echo %roomexit( ,sd)}
#if (%ismember( "northdown", @myexit)) {#echo %roomexit( ,nd)}
}

I've tested. It should be fine now.

Of course, you can use #noop instead of #echo.

The prescribed method is #call, not #noop.

And yes, you can set any command you like to be a direction. Some MUDs have "in" and "out" and "enter portal" and "enter painting" and whatnot and you can set up the mapper to recognise them. Take a look at the #portal command too.
