Listing all zone names
|
Trying to get a listing of all the zones.
Working with the mapvnum example in the help file I figured this would work for listing the zone names
| Quote: |
| #LOOP %numzones {#SHOW %zonename( %mapvnum( %i))} |
But this is part of the output
| Quote: |
Adventurers Guild
Chessboard
Moria
Forest of Hoan Dor
Land of Dominia
Smurf Village |
There's over 200 zones, and the whole list from the command shows only about 70 with gaps thru out it.
Any ideas? |

Or, an actual example from the helpfile (in case your zonenumbers aren't all consecutive)
#LOOP %numzones(#ECHO %zonename(%zonevnum(%i))}
Don't use a ROOM-function (%mapvnum) if you want ZONE names. |

Oh, and %zonevnum dont work. Went to check it in the help file, and theres no entry there for it either. v6.15 here. Maybe thats why?
Basically, what I am trying to do in the long run is create a log of rooms for each zone.
I think I would need to tie in together:
| Code: |
#LOOP %numzones {#ECHO %zonename(%i)} <---which works for me
#log DeathDealer\RoomNames\%zonename
#LOOP %numrooms {#show RoomNum %roomnum( %mapvnum( %i)) Room: %roomname( %mapvnum( %i))}
#log |
And have it loop from zone to zone outputting the rooms into a log.
Tho from what I have been able to figure out, the only way for the %roomnum to work is by having THAT particular map open. And I have been unable to the get #teleport to work with just a zone name. #tel "port" does not work since i need to input something else to signify where I want IN Port I want to be, which I can't do since I am trying to get the info :-)
If nothing else, i'll just have to have the zmud and mapper windows open side by side and click and send, click and send etc  |

Yes, if you are using obsolete software then that's usually the first thing you should tell us. If you don't, we'll expect you to have current software since upgrades are free. Version 6.15 is over three years out-of-date, so I'm afraid that you are the expert on it and will often have to solve your own problems.
Since there are almost always more rooms than zones, there's nothing unusual about some rooms having the same vnum as some zones while others don't. Zones are seldom deleted, so just going sequentially from 1 (or 0) to the number of zones (as per DeRep) should give you most of the zone names. |

Sorry I didn't mention i was using an older version of zmud, I did it in all my other posts, but forgot in this one.
K, so i decided to just go ahead and do the "click, enter, click, enter" version of what I wanted to do.
| Code: |
#log DeathDealer\RoomNames\%zonename
#LOOP %numrooms {#show RoomNum %roomnum( %mapvnum( %i)) Room: %roomname( %mapvnum( %i))}
#log |
But then after I did all 196 areas, I realized that I had wanted the SW's to each of those rooms from the starting point as well.
I have this code:
| Code: |
#ALIAS swshow
#var path %walk( %1)
#var path %replace( @path, ., "run ")
#show @path |
The alias works great as a stand alone, and I wanted to put that into the #LOOP like so:
| Code: |
| #LOOP %numrooms {#show RoomNum %roomnum( %mapvnum( %i)) Room: %roomname( %mapvnum( %i)) SW: swshow( %i)} |
But that gives me out put like this:
| Quote: |
RoomNum 2 Room: Intersection of Junket Way and Megway SW: swshow( 1)
RoomNum 3 Room: Mahmount Allesh Megway SW: swshow( 2)
|
rather than like this
| Quote: |
RoomNum 2 Room: Intersection of Junket Way and Megway SW: run ss
RoomNum 3 Room: Mahmount Allesh Megway SW: run sss |
This works perfectly fine
| Quote: |
#LOOP %numrooms swshow %mapvnum( %i)
run ss
run sss |
but for some reason i can't get it to work as part of the larger loop.
I tried a few different combinations of this, none of which obviously worked.
I KNOW it's something S.O.S (Small & Obviously Silly)
As usual, ANY help is appreciated. |

#SHOW doesn't execute commands or aliases. Commands and aliases are only executed at the beginning of a line anyway, they can't be used in the middle or at the end of a line. You can't change an alias to a function just by putting () around the parameters either. Use your script directly.
(untested)
#LOOP %numrooms {#show RoomNum %roomnum( %mapvnum( %i)) Room: %roomname( %mapvnum( %i)) SW: %replace( %walk( %i), ., "run ")} |

Nope it don't work.
While standing in room 56, I execute the script and I get
| Quote: |
RoomNum 30 Room: An Owl's Nest SW:
RoomNum 31 Room: The Snowy Path SW:
RoomNum 56 Room: In Front of Storm Mountain SW: run nun |
But typing swshow 56 shows me nothing as it should.
And typing swshow 30 & 31 gives me:
run nuueneeu
run nuunuenn
Tried
#echo %replace( %walk(30), ., "run ")
on it's own, and it runs correctly, so i am totally at a loss as to why it will not give the correct result as part of the loop.
Checked a few other areas, and there are errors in there as well. Not sure why it is doing that.
Checked to see if i could just run the loop on it's own without the roomnum stuff and just the swshow but I got the same errors.
Starting to think that copying and pasting swshow 0, swshow 1 etc is the way to go |

Wait, I just thought of the reason that it might not be working.
It's because there are room vnums missing.
like there is no room 16.
RoomNum 15 Room: The Mountain Trail. SW: run nuueneeees
RoomNum 17 Room: The Mountain Trail. SW:
So of course a swshow 16 means nothing and thats what it's trying to do for room 17. |
