Map problems
 
Ok let me start by showing you what we are working with.

You coast in from the east.
Dirt Road with Wood Chips - Lush Jungle
The thorny green vines of the thickening jungle grab at your equipment as you
walk along the path. Distant sounds echo through the stillness of the night.
Small shoots from the roadside pluck at the path slowly destroying its
structure. Already tall fresh growth encroaches along the road's edges. As the
vines lash from tree to tree you get the feeling the jungle wants to claim back
all that belonged to it. Small shards of moonlight filter through the gaps in
the canopy casting ghostly shadows. The smell of dampness permeates the air
with its fetid stench.
PATHS: |West|East|
You have the following animals trained,
at your side, fire breathing dragon lv(29) Dmg(2175) HP(6313) tnl(121552)

Ok the problems are these:
1)The first red line always gets captured no matter how I setup title in settings.
2)It captures it into map with all the right links from the sides, but when I move it doesnt map it.

It does capture exits and desc corectly according to the color codes in auto-configure.
I am using version 6.53 but I couldn't get it to work in any 6.* series.

Any help greatly appreciated.

For your first problem try this

#tr {You coast in from the} {#nomap}

Fatal Error!?! What do you mean Fatal Error... NO Dont format you silly thing. *sigh* Back to the Drawing board.

Ok thanks for that.
It got rid of the line that was getting caught as title, but now nothing is getting captured as title.

I give up, after an hour or two of manually configuring I have decided that the mapper is still almost impossible to make work. If anyone gets a chance to drop in and have a go at getting it to work I will be eternally grateful.
Anyways

ok Here we go from the top AKA what I have working for me 100%


go into your mapper config, click exits,
put a check on exits AFTER keyword,
in the typeie box thing :P type
PATHS:
then enter these triggers

#tr {you * in from *} {#nomap}
#tr {(*)%s- (*)} {#tag name}

reconfigure your mapper you should be all set

Be sure to make a trigger that tags the prompt too.

Just a quick thanks to Nexela for dropping in and trying to get it to work for me. Seems he got it to work but I couldn't even with a fresh character file?
UPDATE
Ok I decided to have a really good deep look at whats going on and I discovered these quirks.
1: When I auto configure, the little Queue: <empty> goes South and stays there no matter were I move, as if it is stuck in a process of logging the first move.
2: If I select follow then straight back to map it removes the above Queue freeze but still doesnt map.
3: If I move around the Queue and room name follow me but the mapo doesnt map it. This lead me to open the map in Spreadsheet mode and watch. What I found is that it is always overwriting the first entry?

Shrug?
