Automapper Auto Configuration Problems
 
I haven't been able to get my automapper to work correctly, and I know there'll be a rewrite in the spring. However, when I run the wizard, it picks up the room description in blue, completely skips the exit line, picks up the first line of the description and colors it red as it thinks that line is the exits, then colors the rest of the paragraph green... here is a screen shot.
How can i manually configure it to make it see the [Exits: North South East West] line as the exits line?

You can set the "exits word" property of the mapper yourself, or you can create your own trigger using the #tag command. I personally suggest a multistate trigger that captures the whole description, especially if the room name colour isn't used by anything else.

Note that this sort of problem may not be fixed in the rewrite - the engine that detects the room properties in the description can only be so smart and really, when there are are manual configuration options, only needs to be so smart.
