(first) I had to do Config-> New configuration again... but after I did this and checked USE VNUMS mapper option it seems to be updating the vnums now and appropriate flags

however,

(Second) the main problem is its updating the room with old data from gmcp, i.e., its using the gmcp data from one room ago or two rooms ago ... even though I am tagging everything with the current data ( I know I am since I am also echoing this same data to the screen ) it doesn't seem to be using the current data at all..... it looks like its updating it before you set the gmcp data even

In other words, it is now updating the room but it is updating it with the wrong name,exits,vnum,etc from old data in a room previously visited

Make sure to turn off any of your own #TAG commands and let the CMUD GMCP handle the tagging. As long as the MUD is sending GMCP data for each room, then it shouldn't get behind like that at all.

I never saw that on Imperian. What MUD are you using?

You might also open the Script Debugger and turn on the Raw Input/output message to see exactly what the MUD is sending and when.

its in Achaea, ... um quick question was stuff like: Tells:#echo x supposed to echo in the main window or in the "Tells" window

checking Wait for prompt in slow speed walk seems to have fixed it.. but I never had to check that before

Ahh, ok, if you are in Slow speed walk mode then that actually makes sense. The GMCP data packet is treated as a "mud prompt" by the mapper, since the mapper only normally creates/saves new rooms when a prompt is received. It's actually probably a bug that this wasn't required before.

In any case, Slow Mode is not a good mode for mapping *new* rooms. Slow Mode is really only intended for "bots" that need to walk a path one step at a time with a lot of confirmation. Try Safe or Fast mode when mapping new rooms.

As far as #echo, here is from the help file:

as a further note, I had to redisable the option "'ait for prompt in slow speed walk' for slow speed walks to actually work in "Follow" mode.. (which is how I had it before)... I will try making new rooms in Safe mode next time

What about updating the old map? I thought I read somewhere the rooms would all be colored a different color if the vnum hadn't been confirmed yet? Maybe that was for the next version. I can't remember. Anyway, I have the same problem. I can't even use my old map because it refuses to follow and when I try to remap, even after reconfiguring, it writes over the room with the previous rooms data and completely screws up my map. I was going to walk through and update it so it is all correct.

I will say though that I started a new map and it mapped just fine, aside from the issue of blank lines being displayed I posted about in another thread. I had no problem starting with a brand new map. It just doesn't want to work with my previous map. I really don't want to spend weeks remapping the entire game.
