Achaea is one of those muds that requires the user to provide #TRIGGERs before the mapper will be able to identify things. Use the forum search link and you will find many different solutions here in the forums.

That particular script moves the weather and exits out of the description paragraph and places them on seperate lines. It is based on ansi colors used for those things.

In order to install it to zMud you copy the whole thing and paste it at the command line, then press enter. Nearly every script that is actually written to the forums is made to be useable that way.

That fixes weather and exit positioning. For Babyl the mapper worked after inputting the script and reconfiguring.
