I have been trying (without any success at all) to get Cmud or Zmud to correctly detect my automapping configuration settings.
No matter how I change the settings for line/paragraph numbers, it still detects it the exact same way (wrong). I'm hoping someone can help me configure the settings to properly detect the room name and room description. It appears to be detecting exits properly, so that's not an issue.
Here is a cut/paste:

Vertic Avenue / N \
------------------------------------------------------- W ---(+)--- E
\ S /
While traversing the busy, cobbled streets of Darkhaven, you notice
a particularly dark alley to the west which citizens commonly avoid.
Grinning, you imagine the cloaked thief lurking in the shadows. Rising
out of the ground to the east is a large building. Voices and commotion
can be heard coming from the inside and the auctioneer's calls are the
most distinguished. Vertic Avenue extends to the north and south.
Exits: north east south west

<Syndy 105/105hp 16/16B 55/250mv evil Align>
<New Darkhaven 35,169G 49,024TNL Style S >

I can't tell if it's detecting my prompt properly or not... as no matter how I configure the settings it detects the room name and labels it the description instead of the room name.... and it can't find the room name at all.
I'm getting supper frustrated and haven't found any recent help online, everything appears to be years old and outdated.

for some reason the forum post is changing the spaces on the compass in the top right of the room description.... the / N \ and \ S / should be above/below the (+)

Looks like RoD? Here's my class for fixing the mapper, Reconfigure and it should start to detect properly. Copy/paste this to a text, rename as .xml, import xml if you've never done that before..

Yes this is RoD. Thanks for the help, I will import the .xml later this evening after work.
Will this also work for zmud 7.21?
I use zmud on my desktop, but I was going to use cmud on my laptop (I like how it works better with windows 7 than zmud seems to). I might switch over to cmud completely, but for now I'm still using zmud.

I haven't used zmud in years so I'm not sure. The most important trigger is the first which detects the roomname along with the compass directions and tells the mapper, after that the autoconfigure can reason things out.
Exits 'mostly' work without using #TAG but brackets around doors will be missed without it.

To be honest I've had nothing but problems getting the mapper to work completely on RoD, but this should get you started.

It should work with ZMud, but keep in mind two very important things:

1)ZMud doesn't do XML, so all that code you will have to hand-edit to an importable text version or simply recreate manually via the command line or Settings Editor GUI.

2)CMud is faster and has more bugfixes. Identical code brought into ZMud might work differently because of these two fundamental differences.

Okay well the mapper now auto detects everything properly... but it's not auto mapping as I walk around. I'm not sure if you need to do something different than with Zmud's auto mapper...
I was in "follow" mode, and it didn't work, I was in "Map" mode and it didn't work. Is there another mode or something?

Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2011 3:19 am

So it's following properly but not creating new rooms?

The only trigger I didn't give you is where I #TAG my prompt, but Auto Prompt detect should handle that..

Sometimes restarting CMUD fixes things with mapper for me. Other than that I'm out of ideas

While we're talking about triggers for Cmud and RoD, do you happen to have a working auto roller trigger?

Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2011 2:22 pm

I have a session with 8 different windows, each window has its own @char, @reqRoll, @tempRoll variables so I can roll different classes per window
@char looks like sex=, password=, race=, name=tempName, class=
@reqRoll has mins for str=,dex= etc

I capture rolled stats with a couple triggers like these:

I got my auto-roll trigger working properly before you had responded. but I appreciate the help anyways :) I did something similar, but used variables to store the min/max of all my stats, then used the actual trigger for the #IF statement.
I set the variables with a button then start the trigger, that way I can use the same trigger for all my classes, I just have to set what stats I want first.

Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2011 6:58 pm

That works fine. The reason I save the sex/password/class/race is so it's automated from the point it connects. Not necessary, but speeds things up when running 8 windows or restarting after reboot etc.
I also save my min stats per class in a database so it can just look them up and not have to remember/write them down.

Well I thought I had my code working, but it just loops endlessly rerolling forever :(
I'm trying to muddle my way through testing out your code now ;)

Beginner Joined: 05 Oct 2011 Posts: 20 Location: Alaska

I can't figure out how to import your xml code properly, I keep getting errors. I admit I'm not very good with zmud or cmud triggers and all the code, so I'm just trying to figure it out as I go, and not being very successful at it, even when I read the help files.

Just copy it all, from <trigger> to </trigger>, then open the Package Editor and go to Edit -> Paste (or just hit Ctrl+V).

Beginner Joined: 05 Oct 2011 Posts: 20 Location: Alaska

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I got it all copied into triggers, the triggers fire but the code doesn't compile... (according to cmud errors)

Beginner Joined: 05 Oct 2011 Posts: 20 Location: Alaska

Oh, I forgot to say I made variables for all the reqRoll.int .etc and assigned them the stats I wanted (my minimums)... but perhaps I missed something?

Sorcerer Joined: 15 Apr 2011 Posts: 809

Which trigger do you get the error on? I just copied in both the triggers posted above (using the method I explained earlier) and there were no compilation errors...

Posted: Sat Oct 08, 2011 6:05 am

You could use your own code, if you still have it, it's probably an easy fix in the big #IF expression.

Like Daern said, I can't really help much without more info..

I'm using code someone else put together awhile ago, and it was made for zmud. So it might just have some slight errors (from the changes in Cmud). I will cut and paste it and see if you guys can figure out where it's going wrong. I ended up deleting it and then cmud wouldn't let me put it back in (because it has errors). I had been testing it on zmud before I switched to cmud.

The only problem was having (s) in several places in the code - in CMUD, putting something in parentheses tries to evaluate it, and obviously s is not a valid expression. You'll want to put string literals in quotes now anyway. Changing all the (s)'s to "(s)" is enough to get it to work, but I rewrote the code for you anyway, cleaning it up considerably. None of this is tested, but it should work:

Okay I copied and pasted your code into an .xml file and went to import it, but cmud is giving me an error on line 41: invalid element name: "

Sorcerer Joined: 15 Apr 2011 Posts: 809

That's really strange, a bug in the XML export maybe? I updated the code above and it works now (I just did another export, didn't change a thing). EDIT: And once you copy/paste it from the forums, it doesn't work again...looks like the forums are altering it in some way...let me try to figure it out...

Beginner Joined: 05 Oct 2011 Posts: 20 Location: Alaska

what version of cmud are you using? I'm in one of the beta versions, perhaps that's the issue?

Beginner Joined: 05 Oct 2011 Posts: 20 Location: Alaska

I'm using 2.37 right now. I've tried upgrading to the newer beta but nothing happens after I click upgrade (besides closing cmud)... lucky me
