Cavern of Quartz

A small goblin guard patrols this end of the cavern.

That is what it looks like. I used to be great at manually configuring the old automapper, but since he has re-written it I am having major problems. The auto-config does not work. I really dislike how the new way of counting paragraphs starts from the bottom up. in this case that usually means the "A small goblin" is seen as the first paragraph ruining the rest of the config. There aren't always mobs in the room though so the room name may be in paragraph 1 or not.

Can I get some help on configuring this? I have tried a lot of different settings with no luck.

In your case, you need some #TAG love. I JUST got done helping another person with that, so I'll let you write all the code.

1)#TAG your prompt

2)#TAG your exits

3)#TAG your room description (you probably will have to employ 2 or 3 triggers to properly get something to #TAG, take a look at the other automapper topic I just replied to for a general example regarding that person's exits)

4)#TAG your room name (a pattern of ([%w%s]) including the parentheses should work nicely for you)

Thanks for your help. The #TAG thing is new to me.

I was able to get the room name, desc, exits to work fine except for one problem.

If there is a mob or something in the room the (%w%s) will tag that as the room name instead of the actual room name. So in the case above "A small goblin guard patrols this end of the cavern. " gets set as the room name. Is there a way I can sort of connect the room name and room desc so it knows that one always comes after the other?

I think I got it. I just put in one long trigger for the room name and room desc

^{^~[}(*)$~[*~](*)$~[*~](*)$~[*~](*)$~[*~](*)$~[*~](*)

It seems to work. I just need to add a thousand #NOMAP things in now.

Thanks again for your help.

Yep. I added a few #NOMAPs for channels and hungry/thirsty and direction failures. It works flawlessly now.
