Some room in the mud i am in, countain words like up, down or other directions in the describtion. especially if the describtion is a bit longer, it takes the exit from the last few lines in the describtion, while the actual directions are ignored.
example:
Hallways lead both north and south toward strange shrines, while the clanhall continues to the west. Eastward lies the exit back to the town proper.
- North - East - South - West
If the describtion looks like that, the automapper ignores the real exit-line

how can i set the mapper, to take the real exit line, starting
_-_direction_

i tried to set the keyword in the preferences to _-, but then it ignores the directions after the first.

anyone who could help?

PS: the underline _ is used for better viwing of white space

Try settings the the keyword to " - " without the quotes and make sure to check the boxes that the Exit Line begins with the keyword and that the Exit Line also contains the kwyword within it.

If that still doesn't work, try creating this trigger:
#TRIGGER {^ - (*)$} {#TAG exit %replace("%1", " - ", " ")}

Since this trigger is a bit too general, I recommend making it an ANSI trigger and placing the corresponding ANSI sequences in the pattern, or make it a Trigger on Line Color, to make it match only when the color of the line is what you specified.

If it is not possible to do that, the have the trigger check for the precense of exits in %1 before executing the #TAG command.

Also, after creating this trigger, you must re-configure the mapper.
