Mapping Realms of Despair
 
Hello all,

This is driving me nuts. I can't seem to map Realms of Despair on version 7.05. It doesn't catch the room name or descriptions properly. Also the exits, while apparently being catched correctly, not always work. I've tried doing it manually under Configuration Settings, but still can't seem to be able to catch this thing properly.

Here is a typical output from a room in Realms of Despair.

Code:

<38/38hp 113/113ma 209/210mv 5,917xp  >south

The Shining Emerald                                       /      N     
-------------------------------------------------------    - ---(+)--- E
                                                                -      /
A locked display box dominates this particular shop.  Under the glass
of the box are a myriad of gems, each lying gently upon a miniscule cushion.
Hanging from the walls are various paintings, while sculptures take up the
rest of the floor space.  To the east is Darkhaven's courier, while an
opening in the tent to the north leads back out onto Market Street.
Exits: north east
A woman with eyes the color of jade smiles warmly.

<38/38hp 113/113ma 207/210mv 5,917xp  >


Can someone please help me configure ZMud 7.05 so that at least the room name and exits work?

Ok this may be sloppy, or it may be perfect. But I, who also plays on Realms of Despair, tested this and it worked perfectly.

Note: Config +Compass must be on.

#TRIGGER {^%1*{NW|} {#VAR "RoomName" "%1"}
Then, Click Options Tab -> Type: Wait -> Param: 500 (Keeps the trigger from firing off 2 times if there is no SW exit, adjust to your liking)
#TRIGGER {Exits: %1} {#VAR "RoomExits" "%1"}

Or you could always do it the longer, but more secure way.

The Shining Emerald / N
The Shining Emerald NW N
The Shining Emerald / N NE

The 3 above are all different in 1 way, the number of Spaces between each of the exits and/or symbols, - /

I'll explain...

/ N - There are always 6 Spaces between the / and N or -
NE N - There are always 5 Spaces between the NE and N or -
/ N NE - Same as above, except 5 Spaces between the NW and N or -

So you can make a trigger and manually put in the spaces.

#TRIGGER (^%1*{/......-......|/......N......|NW.....-......|NW.....N......|NW.....-.....NE|NW.....N.....NE|/......-.....NE|/......N.....NE}} {#VAR "RoomName" "%1"}

The periods (.) stand for spaces.

Sorry if this confuses ya, I tried. I used the one above with all the spaces and it worked perfectly, and I didn't have to set it to wait 500 in options.

Not a prob, with all these topics coming up with things like this and the other guy wanting to make a BattleSpam window I have started messing with stuff, getting back into it. Thanks for posting your query!
