Map: Room names
 
Apparently when I first configured my zMUD mapping, I stuffed up. Each room in my map is labeled with the last line of the room description instead of the the room name.

It's no big deal really but I think I'd prefer to have each room labeled with the room name. I have about 5000 rooms mapped so far.

Can anyone recommend an easy way to change this so that the room name is displayed as the label in my existing maps? (I mean by walking over my existing rooms with a new config maybe - without creating new rooms that I'll have to merge)
Am I doomed to restart my mapping from scratch with a new configuration?

Also, does anyone have Realms of Despair maps available somewhere for download? I searched but can't find any. Is uploading/downloading maps frowned on?

regards


(edit: to clarify)

This is doable but you'll probably have to manually override the mapper configuration using the #TAG command and the %roomname. The key will be to have the mapper match the old name and the new name, and if it matches the old name update it to the new name. Overriding the Mapper should help with what you want.

I think I understand. TYVM for the tip. I'll give it a go.
