Hi, all
I've finally managed to configure mapper to capture descriptions and names of rooms the way I want (or should I say, MUD developers made their thing zMud friendly :)). However in the meanwhile I already produced a 10k-rooms map. I'm sure there is a way to make Name and Description info fill in when I walk through existing rooms, I just don't know the way. Mapper itself does not have this option.
Ideas?

Followup
There is a set of checks in room properties that are supposed to do just this thing: Other - Reload room name/descr/exits. However they seem to not work as intended :( Nothing is saved into the map, though it definitely is loaded from mud since when I delete the room and create it anew by entering, all names are there in the map just fine.

There is also a function for saving this info into the map, but I do not know where is the info (which mapper captures) stored.

I'll try to produce a trigger in the meanwhile for capturing room names and descriptions while moving, and inserting them via functions, but this feels like inventing the wheel :)

Heh, feels like talking to myself, but anyway.
I had the problem solved by plain dumb multiline capturing though triggers (ANSI and the like). Never found where mapper-captured info is stored.

I am glad you figured out how to capture all the info for yourself. I have posted enough times how to do various captures that I thought I would let you find it for yourself. Anyhow the things you want to check in the help are %roomname, %roomdesc, %maplocked, and #CALL.
