All the exits between land and bodies of water have been changed from north, south, east, west to wade north, wade south, wade east, wade west.

I have thousands of changes to make on my map because of this.

I used zMapper to assign room types to water and the different types of land around them when I mapped the terrains.

Is it possible to make a script that will identify exits between bodies of water and lands and update the exit with the new wade?

I tried to open the database with Access and use querries to change things, but my version of Access is too old. Any way to do this with zMud?

Thanks!

I'm not knowledgeable enough on mapper operations to give you a detailed answer. I don't think there's any easy way to do this. You'll probably need to make all these exits into "Other" exits.

Possibly something like this:
Open character and mapper offline
#TELEPORT to next room
Get the exits using %roomexit
Loop through the exits and decide which ones need wade using %roomkind
Set the exits to wade using %roomlink, %roomportal, or %doorname
Advance to the next room using #TELEPORT

No idea if that will work. You might get better ideas on the zMapper forum.

Hi, parrotslave!
You can create blank database in your old version of MS Access, then link it to tables in actual database (use File -> External data menu), then use your SELECT/UPDATE queries.
Hope that helps. :)
