Hi guys,

I'm having a problem with the auto mapper. When I hit a wall, automapper responds as it should and doesnt record a new room. It's when I move in the correct direction after I've hit a wall that automapper will then think that my last command did not hit a wall and place the new room in the direction of the wall. From there on in its always 1 step behind.
Is there something i can fix?
( guess i should mention I'm playing Realms of Despair on zmud 7.21)
Thanks!!!

Ryan

You need to tell the automapper that you've hit a wall with the #NOMAP and #NODIR. The first tells zMUD don't create a room. The second tells zMUD don't count that you've moved.

#TR {hit a wall} {#NODIR}

#TR {you squeeze through a gap in the fence} {#NOMAP}

#NOMAP specifically tells the mapper to not include the given line as part of a room description... useful for flavor text you might encounter between entering the command and actually moving

#NODIR im pretty sure includes #NOMAP (this is unstated, but ive never had issue with using #NODIR alone) as well removing the item in the direction cue, so you don't always need to use both.

Great, that works. Thank you very much. But now i have a new problem that wasn't having before. The automapper is inserting doors where they dont belong and is missing some exits. Any ideas?

You can always manually add exits and remove the doors, a bit of a hassle, but it only needs to be done the once.

OK, if this is just a fact of life with this program, I can live it.
