[The Forest's Edge] cMapper not capturing correctly, advice?
|
So, I've been trying forever to get the mapper to identify the proper lines in the room description for exits, room name, and room description. It doesn't change its tune, no matter what I switch. I need help! I want to start mapping out this totally cool MUD!
Output from the 'test south:'
| Code: |
You prowl south.
South Temple Road
+=--------------------------------------------------------------------------=+
| Lighting: Lit Time: Evening Terrain: Town Street |
| Exits: NESW Moon: waxing gibbous Room Size: Elephant |
| Weather: brisk; partly cloudy; moderate breeze from SSW |
+=--------------------------------------------------------------------------=+
Little light filters down between the buildings to either side of this
unfriendly looking street. On the west side of the street is a seedy looking
tavern. Broken bottles litter the ground here, mostly near to the tavern. To
the east is a small shop with a single cloudy window and a star-shaped carving
on the door. It is unlabeled, though perhaps the carving is meant to serve as
a label. The alley intersects Main a short ways to the north and continues a
bit to the south before ending abruptly.
A fragile, ancient sage rests here, his eyes filled with concern.

What it detects, no matter what I adjust:
Room Name: You prowl south.
Room Exit: Weather: brisk; partly cloudy; moderate breeze from SSW
Room Description: South Temple Road
Room Name should be:
Room Exits should be:
Room Description should be:

Feel free to check the mud out if this is not enough info for you, or ask me for more room examples. theforestsedge.com:4000.
Thanks for the help! |

Is the room name coloured? Is it coloured something specific, that's the same for every room? It makes detection much easier. Otherwise I'm going to have to use a blank line to guess when a room might be starting - are blank lines given a lot? Oh, and is that line with the +=-----------------------=+ used anywhere else?

Don't forget to upload the script to the library, and place a library link here :). I think if you #nomap the non useful lines the map detection should just ignore them. From a quick look at the MUD it appears room names are coloured light red in the rooms I checked. Not sure if that is a general pattern though. |

I think it pretty likely that the box is not used elsewhere.
| Code: |
#TRIGGER {+=--------------------------------------------------------------------------=+} {#NOMAP;#TAG name {%line2}}
#COND {| Lighting:} {#NOMAP}
#COND {| Exits: (%w)} {#TAG exit %1}
#COND {+=--------------------------------------------------------------------------=+} {}
#COND {} {#TAG descpara} |
Paste that in the command line, then reconfigure and it should produce the right results. |

When I test it the reconfiguration tags the Weather line as an exit. |

Hmm, It still wasn't capturing. Do you want all my configuration settings, to make sure I don't have something screwy in there?
I appreciate the help.
EDIT: Exactly, it is still painting the Room Name as the description and the Weather line as the exit.
EDIT2: To answer Fangs questions above, the Room name is defaulted to a Bold.Red (although users can modify it if needed... I won't) color. As well, blank lines are given a lot. The Nav Box that has the ascii lines above and below are not seen anywhere else. Just in the room. |

Bah, I hate #TAG. Post the configuration it produced after a reconfigure with the triggers as best you can, and I will see if there is anything I can figure to tweak to actually make it work when everything is already #TAGged.
If I don't spot anything then the only choice I see is to do what I do and tell the mapper's detection, room creation, speed walking, and following routines that they are unnecessary and handle all of it in your own script. I am hoping this option becomes useless and irrellevant in futer version of CMud. |

The building to the east of this alleyway has an unwelcoming look about it,
with windows blackened to not allow anyone to see in. To the west, a building
looks newly renovated and a door is propped open with a ceramic block. Above
the door hangs a large hand-panted map. The street ends fairly abruptly with
a massive gate and it is impossible to see very far past it, possibly due in
part to the runes drawn in coal upon the bars.
