If I have a complete map of a mud and since it was made the descriptions of the rooms have been slightly altered, just enough to throw the mapper off and not allow auto-follow, is there a simple way of setting the mapper up to redo the rooms without having to start over from scratch?

The basic idea i would like to do is setup the mapper to follow me as I use it to re-walk all the various rooms and have it reset its room descriptions rather than have to painstakingly go over each room while using an external map and carefully reading the descriptions for not so obvious exits.

use the #LOOK command in each room with the map in mapper mode

Thank you. that helps.

Is there any way of being able to do both a follow mode and a map creation mode at the same time, so i can just retrace the mud while doing this?

you can make an alias to do it

#ALIAS roomRefresh {
#CALL %maplocked(0)
#LOOK
#CALL %maplocked(1)
}

this puts it into mapping mode to do the look, the switches it back... mine need to put the second #CALL into an #ALARM/#TEMP to give it time to capture the info
