well its cool in my opinion.

would it be feasible to have a property on the path command that allowed for a custom return path for those area's that are not the same in both directions.

it would be really cool because then i could just have one path for each location and i wouldn't need a second path to get back from a location.

if this isn't the right place to post this please tell me where i should post it.

Thanks

I'll have to think about that.

For most common situations, you just define your own custom directions, such as "in" and "out". If a custom direction exists, then CMUD can use that to determine the reverse path.

When you use the mapper, you can also change the exit command in each direction of an exit link, so speedwalking with the mapper can already do this very easily.

Adding something which can handle other cases not covered by the above would only effect a very small subset of users, and as you said, you can always create a different path name.

like on the way to the viking village you go down in one spot and the reverse there is climb 2 times.

stuff like that

or there is an area when you go east once you get to a room but to get back you have to go west 3 times because you slip down a few times.

I don't use the mapper, so I'm not sure if you can do this. But you're talking about something like this?

Well, if the "slipping" just means you don't actually move anywhere, that is easily handled. Create a trigger for the message you get when you slip, and give it the value "#nodir" and a new direction command to try again. Something like this:
