Hmmmm Trying my psyhcic powers I can't seem to get a visual on what your prompt looks like maybe post some examples between some CODE tags.

This is my basic prompt. From left to right things are as listed:
Room exits, visible/invisible/hidden indicator, room names, and who i will reply to.
Second line is basic, current and total hp, mana, and movement indicators. Then alignment. Under that (only when in battle) it brings up current health in words, and enemies health in words.

Fairly basic prompt.

I would suggest only using 1 line as a prompt and #NOMAPing the other line, then according to the mapper, you would have a 1 line prompt, because it would ignore the 2nd line

Well.. I did what was suggested and it still refuses to work.
It is now taking people in the room and its acting if that is my prompt. I also tried #nomap for /both/ lines of my prompt, and made it so it wont look for prompt. The first room maps fine, but when i move a room it Messes up. Here is an example:
The Adventurers' Guild
The Adventurer's Guild is filled with many people hoping to start their path
to fame, fortune and glory. It boasts a Mud School as well as training and
sparring facilities. A true adventurer takes great advantage of guild
resources, all of which can be found to the east. Off to the west lies the
infamous Inn of the Last Stag, while a strange smell seems to lurch from
above.
[Exits: north east south west up]
A dog wanders about, growling.
[AFK] Equinox. is sleeping here. [Innocents]
Arch Heretic Agony the Defiler ... is resting here. [Innocents]
The Shadow is here healing you... so he can kill you later.

I'm sure you can tell what is what in the example. What it is doing, is instead of taking the room name (in red) it takes the very first line of the description and thinks that it is the room name instead. Any suggestions i'm gratefull for.

Make sure your configuration for the mapper is configured right, it shouldnt have a problem grabbing all of that info and putting it in the right place, try reconfiguring with the second line of your prompt #NOMAPed.
Also what version are you using

Often non-alpha characters in the room title can cause the mapper to get confused and pick something else. I especially have problems with dashes ( - ), but you may find the apostrophie is causing some issues too.

If the MUD sends down ansi colour codes for the room title (eg to make it red), maybe you could make a #TAG trigger based on those colour codes and force it to pick it up that way.

Eh, I think I'm done with this. It just wont work, but thanks anyway i appreciate the help. It just refuses to work, heh. (Using 7.01 version of zMUD by the way)

Maybe post a link to your MUD and what you need to type to set your prompt up to the 2 lines and hope someone with good mapper experience has the time to log in and play with the config to try and get it workin' for you?
