I am having trouble using the automapper in ZMud. I play on Achaea. Here are the problems I have:

- Follow doesn't always work. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. And while mapping works better, it is not 100% reliable either, creating duplicate rooms sometimes, even if the room description is all that is returned.
- When moving from one zone to the next, sometimes it moves me in the desired direction twice.
- When attempting to click a room, if you miss and click a link, there is no way to cancel, and the link will always disappear unless you attach it to something.
- The exit line in Achaea, while being a different color, sometimes is APPENDED to the end of the room description. So if the room description says "Mountains rise up to the east. You see exits leading north and south." will result in exits being generated up, east, north, and south.

Can these be fixed by changing settings, or are these buggies?

Achaea is notoriously problemtic mud. Please search the forums for references to it and use the solutions provided in previous posts. If you continue having problems I would recommend you try getting in touch with people who have stated they play there that have been helped and not complained since. It is probable that they have found solutions to new problems already, and may be willing to share.

In any case what you mention are not bugs in zMud, it is doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

Kellenia wrote here about the mapper settings, it might help you.

Search Achaea map as Vijilante suggests for other tricks.

Try that out and let us know what thing it clears up.
