Zugg Software :: View topic - Need assistance getting automapper working

I have been trying to get the automapper to work but so far I have had little success. I got it going once, but after a little while it just stopped working again. Anyway here’s what the mud output looks like.

Caravan Road [NESW]
Stretching itself out here is a long road, paved in rough, yellow
brown sandstone, covered with reddish dust and sand and wide enough that at
least four caravans could pass through. Quieter now with the advent of
night, the road still holds many people, passing along it on their business,
and torches gleaming here and there. To the south, the grubby thoroughfare
known as Commoners' Way leads into that shadowed quarter, while to the north
the shady expanse of Vivadu's Path opens into the Elementalists' Quarter.
A three-fingered, shabby mercenary stumbles along, seemingly lost.
The hunched, sun-bronzed mul is here, loaded down with obsidian slag.

When I try to auto config the mapper, it often highlights the entire room name line as red, which I think is probably the problem. The one time I had it working correctly for a short while was when it correctly only highlighted the NESW portion.

Since your room-name and exits are on the same line, you'll probably need to use the #TAG command. In addition to name and exit, you'll probably also need to either tag the prompt or use #SETPROMPT to identify it.

If you use the the Search link at the top of the page, chances are you can find several posts with similar setups and problems, and see how they were solved. You could also just look through the recent posts at anything that has "mapper" in its title and have a good chance of finding something helpful.
