First.. I made a trigger-set to properly tag the room names and exits (and used variables to ensure they are being properly detected..

#TRIGGER {^ (%*)%s({NW|- |# })&5({N|-|#})&5({NE| -| #})} {#VARIABLE exits {%2|%3|%4};#VARIABLE room {%1};#GAG} "Mappers"
#COND {~(-------------------------------------------------~)&5({W|-|#}) <-({U|-|#})-~(M~)-({D|-|#})-> ({E|-|#})$} {#VARIABLE exits {@exits|%1|%2|%3|%4};#GAG}
#COND {%s({SW|- |# })&5({S|-|#})&5({SE| -| #})} {#GAG;#VARIABLE exits {@exits|%1|%2|%3|};#DELITEM exits "-";#DELITEM exits "#";#DELITEM exits "- ";#DELITEM exits "# ";#DELITEM exits " -";#DELITEM exits " #";#VARIABLE exits {%trim( %replace( @exits, "N|", "North "))};#VARIABLE exits {%trim( %replace( @exits, "S|", "South "))};#VARIABLE exits {%trim( %replace( @exits, "NW|", "NorthWest "))};#VARIABLE exits {%trim( %replace( @exits, "NE|", "NorthEast "))};#VARIABLE exits {%trim( %replace( @exits, "SW|", "SouthWest "))};#VARIABLE exits {%trim( %replace( @exits, "SE|", "SouthEast "))};#VARIABLE exits {%trim( %replace( @exits, "W|", "West "))};#VARIABLE exits {%trim( %replace( @exits, "E|", "East "))};#VARIABLE exits {%trim( %replace( @exits, "U|", "Up "))};#VARIABLE exits {%trim( %replace( @exits, "D|", "Down "))};;#TAG name,exit {@room} {@exits};#ECHO %ansi( yellow, high)@room;#ECHO %ansi( red, high)Exits: @exits}

Thought I might post my triggers that I use for both the tagging and the changing of the output..

It always amazes me that people make life difficult for themselves.
"if I turn OFF the compass completely, I can map properly"
So turn off the compass while you map.

Lightbulb.. Perhaps you MISSED the rest of that.. I cant see EXITS.. at ALL.. NO exit info without the compass.

So therefore, unless I already know the area (which kinda defeats the purpose of mapping) then I cant map it anyway.

Try using #NOMAP on the compass too, so the mapper ignores those lines.

No, I understand that the compass provides your exits info. Doing without it simply means that all your exits would be hidden. The mapper can handle that.

However, I mainly answered to help you stir things up a little. You'd already gone a full day without an answer and were starting to *bump* your thread (almost never necessary), so I gave you the best answer I had until someone more knowledgeable came along.

Solved it! Well kinda...

Here are my settings and it works like a charm... the problem you ask? Well in every room name you will have the bit of the compass which is on the same line (not a biggie since when the mapper checks the exit line it'll check to see if that bit is there any way) and it wont auto-draw the exit stubs... i tried using zex0rs triggers but it just kept fussing about how it couldnt parse the script or somthing... *shrug* To use this copy it all using Control+C or whatever then goto the mapper and select Config -> Import Config -> From clipboard also make sure that you have it setup to NOT auto-create doors or every time you move it will create a new room on you *gag* Not a perfect solution but i dont see any better ones... next trick: Figure out how to get it to capture the exits... :)

Oh, just got messing with mapping using my settings a bit more and realized it might work slightly better if you also enable 'match room name at end of line' or whatever that setting is (its under the room name area) also when you goto a new room make sure the room name is correct and try to avoid going over rooms you've already mapped (it often spazzes out and makes a second room..) but it will follow correctly once ya got it running :) Why oh why couldnt they just have the option to have the room names seperate like most MU*s do?

The triggers I have work, as far as reformatting the text to appear to be a standard output, but as I said, nothing happens when you try to map rooms in follow mode..

BTW, you probably cannot just copy/paste the script into your zmud, due to the forum word-wrapping the script.. it's supposed to be like 4 lines long..

go to http://prophecy.home.mchsi.com/maptrigs.txt to see the copy you *can* copy/paste.
