How to automatically connect all rooms in zone?
|
I just mapped a big zone in one mud that required semi-manual mapping (had to create triggers that create the rooms), but problem is - they are only linked in one way (the one i entered from). How can I now automatically connect all adjacent rooms, so they will be linked? Currently they are just stubs that are positioned correctly.

You dont... the easiest manual method would be to turn on keyboard creation under zone, and then you can connect the rooms while offline.

You can set it so that they are automatically linked to adjacent rooms as you create them--edit your map configuration to enable this. However, once the rooms are created, there is no way to automatically connect two stub links together. You will have to do it manually or write a script. It will not be easy because you will need to search for rooms by X and Y coordinates.

The former was not an option because it was custom trigger creating them.
It's sad that I can't just select room and tell cmud to link them |

If the trigger was using #TAG, then the map configuration would work. If the trigger used %roomlink() or %roomexit, you're right, the map configuration wouldn't work. If every room had exactly the same exits (say, 6 or 8 compass directions), a #TAG would have worked, though.

You can, more or less. Just click the add link button, then click the first room, then click the second room (you'll need to click on the side of the room that the exit goes on, I find it easiest to zoom in a bit to not misclick). |

The keyboard creation won't work. It will move around in "some" linked directions but will not connect any non linked rooms.
What can I check or unckeck from the options? I made a 40mb map, and I really need to connect the lines for it to be complete.
Keyboard creation seems the easiest to me, since I have probably 2000 or more rooms to link |

Sounds like you get to either manually do the links, or turn the mapper on and run through the rooms along all the stubs and it will link as you go. Tedious, yes, but it gets the job done.
