Mapping Problem - Weather in Room Name & / water \ exits
|
Hello,
I am having a bit of fun mapping out my Mud.
However I have two problems atm.
Firstly, in the room names go as follows:
A Dark Forest [Sunny]
The problem here is when the weather changes, & its goes to raining, the mapper will recognise it as a new room (and create a new room) instead of an existing one.
How to I work around this? I vaguely remember that this can be done via #gag or something so the words inside the brackets dont get caught inside the room title?
Secondly, if I am in a room that has water exits, they are represented as /east\ , /west\ etc. This does not get picked up. ANy suggestions on how I work around this one also?
Cheers! |

First solution (untested): try using #SUB to remove it, and store it into the variable "Weather", which you can use for a caption on a button or something so you still get the information. Note that this may cause problems in other instances where the server uses []:
| Quote: |
| #TR {( ~[*~])} {#SUB "";Weather=%1} |
Second solution (also untested): go to your "System|Directions" and/or "System|DirectionsDiag" classes. To the appropriate directions, add "|/east\", etc. The pipe will turn it into a list (which it may already be). If water slows you down like it does in my MUD (Dragonrealms), then you can add a seperate trigger to handle the swimming when using speedwalking (slow mode only):
| Quote: |
#TR {^You swim} {#PAUSE}
#COND {@roomname} {#OK} {exp}
#COND {@arrived} {#STEP} {exp} |
Where @roomname is a variable set whenever you arrive in a new room, and @arrived in a string that lets you know you can move again. |
