Mapping problems
|
I'm trying to map in Purple Dragon using the automapper. The mud only has NSEW rooms (no NW/NE/SW/SE) directions. The problem is that when the exits are given in the room description, if they are a door then they are put in with <> around them
[Exits: north east <south> west]
This causes the mapper to incorrectly put in exits N, E, W and SW and I have to manually go in and delete the incorrect link on the map.
Any idea as to how to stop this happening, and even better, automatically notice it is a door and put it in as one, would be gratefully received. |

I give no guarantees it will solve your problem, but even if it doesn't, this may help you while in Explore (Map) mode:
| Code: |
| #T- System|DirectionsDiag |
Create an alias called "atconnect" if you don't already have one, in the root folder, and put this code into it. It will disable the diagonal directions, which you don't want since your MUD doesn't have diagonal directions. You have to put it in the atconnect alias so that it is disabled whenever you reconnect, as otherwise zMUD re-enables it.
Hope this helps. |

If that doesn't work, you'll probably need to set up a TAG statement for your exit line.

You might also try reconfiguring the mapper after disabling diagonal directions, preferably in a room like the one above.

Ah, you could also switch off (untick) Allow <> for expand in the Script Parser preferences. Of course, if you use this at the moment, you will need to use %expand instead of <> in your scripts.
