Zugg Software :: View topic - automapper misunderstanding : composite exits (north-east...)

Beginner Joined: 25 Feb 2008 Posts: 13

Hi
Here is the problem

I m on a french mud (multimud) and directions are :

>sorties: nord ouest sud

So these are the exits (north west and south in english)

the problem is with composite exits :

for example
>sorties: nord-est

is interpretated by the mapper as :

nord, est, and nord-est that's to say 3 directions instead of one only (nord-est)

Or there is only one exit : the nord-est (north-east) one.

The problem seems to be with the - sign, but it is not a special character :(

How can i correct the mapper ?
Can you help me, please :) it would be handy :)

Thanks, sudin

The use of a dash as word seperator seems to be hard coded into zMud. In order to get around this you will have to make triggers that remove the dash, and adjust your direction settings. For example:
#TRIGGER {nord-est} {#SUB nordest}

Thanks for the solution :) it works well i think

So here i think is the definition for nord-ouest : no|nordouest|nord-ouest (systemdiag)
combined with #TRIGGER {nord-ouest} {#SUB nordouest}

Thanks :)
