I am trying to turn this map into a map for zmud using zmapper. It is taking a very long time to create.

Could there be a feature that lets you create of a basic grid of rooms in a size you specifiy, like 100 x 100, so you can then go in and customize it and link it to other zones?

Thanks!

I wasn't able to access your gif file link.

You could do something like this pretty easily within zMUD itself using the map scripting. Use a nested #LOOP command and then use the #MAKEROOM command to create a room. Turn on the Autoconnect All option in the Map properties and each room should get linked to the surrounding rooms as they are created.

Right now you can't do any programming/scripting within zMapper...it is a graphical interface only. For programming you still use the zMUD scripting.

Many Thanks!

Your suggestion worked great!

One more question regarding room types.

I made a room type for rivers. I don't want to walk into a river during a speed walk. Is there a quick way to make the entire river category 'Do Not Enter' rooms? I have been going into the properties of each room and marking it by hand up until now.

Thanks again!

Use %roomcost to set the cost to 2147483647. This is what zMUD sets it to when you select the Do Not Enter option.
