Mapping with ATCP and Room Descriptions
|
While the mapper works great with 3.17, the one problem I have is that it does not map any of the room descriptions because oddly this information does not get sent via ATCP. I can get everything else including the environment of the room, but not the description.
There are a couple of problems I have regarding this. First, I can create a trigger to capture the line immediately after the room name. The problem with this method is that it captures the weather information, which changes, as well as any items in the room and people in the room. Secondly, it is broken into multiple parts.
For instance, in Achaea a typical room description is like:
| Quote: |
A room name.
The stars twinkle. The actual description. There is a plant here. Blah blah stands here. You may enter NEWS from this location. |
That's a crude representation of what you see, but you get the point. The problem is that I need to capture the actual description, excluding the weather information, any plants or items or people standing there, and INCLUDE information like You may enter NEWS here or WILDERNESS here etc. Yet I can't use ANSI trigger because they are different colors, and I am not sure how to do it.
How do I capture the actual COMPLETE room descriptions? How can I break this up so I can also record items in the room and so on? I don't use ansi triggers much. |

The easiest way to create an ANSI trigger is to open the Package Editor, create a blank trigger, set it to ANSI Trigger, then cut and paste an example of the line you want to trigger on. Then edit it as needed. If you set it to ANSI Trigger before pasting into the trigger pattern, the pattern should contain the appropriate ANSI codes for the colors.
If the part you want is always a particular color, and the only example of that color in the description line, it should not be too hard. Just change the specific text to an * between the ANSI codes in the pattern. |

Here is a simple configuration class for the mapper. Most of the triggers are nomap and nodir.
The main point is how I am capturing the description.
This is for Achaea though so maybe it will help a little.
