[2.18] A better way to do this?
|
Currently, I have 253 zones with a total of 27802 rooms. I've set up an alias for a zonewalk. Basically it walks to every room in the zone. This is what I use:
| Code: |
| #ALIAS getrooms {#CALL %mapfilter("");zonerooms="";#CALL %mapfilter(%concat("ZoneID = ",%zonenum()));#CALL %mapfilter("");#CALL %mapfilter(%concat("ZoneID = ",%zonenum()));#CALL %mapfilter("");#CALL %mapfilter(%concat("ZoneID = ",%zonenum()));#loop %numrooms {#additem zonerooms %mapvnum( %i)}} |
as a sidenote, I think there's a bug in this because I do have to call mapfilter a few times in order for it to work correctly
| Code: |
| #ALIAS zonewalk {#FORALL @zonerooms {rrun %i}} |
| Code: |
| #ALIAS rrun {#exec %replace( %replace( %replace( %replace( %replace( %walk( %1), ".", "ru "), "(", ";"), ")", ";ru "), "ru ;", ""), "maze;", "maze ");#te %1}} |
Now here's the issue:
I type "getrooms" when I'm in a certain zone, and it gathers up all the vnums of the rooms on the map. CMUD usually hangs quite a bit on this, though - especially when there's 1100 rooms in an area. In fact, everything halts on CMUD. No output from the MUD, can't close anything down, nothing. I'll add this wasn't a problem with zMUD, but it is a real problem with CMUD.
When it finally lets go, I get spammed with all the output that was in the queue, waiting for CMUD to finish this script. After that, things seem to work well. So... my question is:
Is there a much better/easier/faster way to handle this? I've thought about #THREAD, but I don't know anything really about it. The helpfile is a bit... unhelpful when it comes to learning about #THREAD, I think... at least, for me it is. I appreciate any help on this matter.

#ALIAS getrooms {zonerooms=%mapquery(%concat("ZoneID = ",%zonenum))}

Wow... that was MUCH faster... thanks!
By the way, I'm trying to use some of the mapping stuff in your toolbox... but I'm failing to understand how some of it works. :P Oh well. I'll figure it out later, unless you decide to include a help alias in your next update.

Sadly all of that has been put on hold while I get a new version of the regex engine in production order. I was just so incensed that %subregex can't do what I want that I have to get it right. Mainly I have been stumbling over limitations in Pascal, irritations with Delphi bugs, and translating between C and Pascal. Documentation is almost equally fun.
I am not going to rant (read as I typed an entire rant and decided no one wanted to read it) about it since it is a project I took on. Better documentation on all my published functions will be produced soon. |
