[3.09] #MAP
 
When in Map mode the #MAP command does not properly repsect the direction queue.

Procedure
1. Delete any mapper related files from CMud directory
untitled and dbm, zfg, etc.
2. Launch CMud
3. Close Sessions window (ESC)
4. Open Mapper (CTRL-M)
5. Paste(CTRL-V) in the command line
Code:
#LOAD "English Directions"
#CALL %maplocked(0)
#CALL %map.NewRoom("","",0,0,0,0,-1)
#TELEPORT 1
#MAKEROOM e
#CALL %roomlink(,e,-2) %walkmode(2)
#MENU {Mapper|File|Map}
#MENU {Mapper|Config|Config}

6. Press Enter
7. Click on Speedwalking in the map preferences window
8. Select "Disable automatic confirmation"
9. Close map preference window by clicking X
10. Enter at the command line
Code:
#MAP w

Note the direction queue shows "w(1)"
11. Enter at the command line
Code:
#MAP e

The direction queue now contains only "e"

You may switch to Follow mode and repeat steps 10 and 11 to see the expected behavior.

I think the problem here is that in Map mode, the mapper needs some sort of configuration. Without any configuration it's going to have trouble. Does this problem still occur after doing a map configuration on a live MUD?

What's happening is that when using the #MAP command in Map mode, CMUD is now waiting for the text from the MUD giving the name and description and exits of the new room that you are trying to create. Since you aren't connected to a MUD and don't have a map configuration, it doesn't have anything to work with. And I believe that I coded it in this case so that if you continue to get more directions in the queue that it just removes the previous directions so that the queue doesn't fill up with directions when the mapper isn't configured.

If some else wants to test the live connection as Zugg described, I would be most appreciative. What I am aiming at is that the command should behave the same way in both Follow and Map modes. I can't test with any of my sessions.
