Greetings Guru's.
I started playing Medievia recently, second Mud I tried, and I am enjoying myself alot. In the first Mud I tried I found the pattern and other info I needed to capture the mini-map send it to a new window and gag it in the main one.
The Pattern was something like this '<--------->'
I found this to be a great help for me. However, after searching the Medievia sites and this site I can't find the info I need. Any of you Medievia players do this? Can you tell me how to find this info for this type of thing?
I have been lurking here a couple of months now and have really learned alot.
Thanks to you all who help the Newbs.

EDIT:
This seems to be the best I can do at the moment. Copied and pasted from a log file. Doesn't seem to work well on here but I'm not sure how to get a picture up. It seems to be scrunched or pinched in the middle.
Don't know if this helps but thanks for the try.

EDIT: Here I am moving 3 rooms South in the city of Medievia. This is just as it appears in the mud with the info below the map. Thanks for the help guys. Will play with the examples given and report back later.

EDIT: Matt, those triggers gave me an "infinite trigger loop". I only have the most basic knowledge in this, I have never seen #gag with the on/off switch and the #condition is new to me as well. It did give me the window minimap but it didn't look like it was captured there. There was a "Capturing Text "message though. Reading up on conditional triggers and the gag switch now. Then play with it some more. Thanks again!

You'll need to show us an example of the mini-map. Not many people will be able to help you if you don't provide information for us to work with.

put your minimap output in between [ code] [ /code] tags to keep the formating correct and give us 2-3 consecutive examples, I.E. Walk between 3 rooms copy/paste the whole output and paste it to the forum in code tags

This'll be easy. Is the mini-map actually above the room info, or is it more like a newspaper photo with the text off to the right?

If it's the former, your script would look something like this:

#trigger {+-------------------------+} {#C+ MiniMap;#gagon}
#condition {[+-]~~[-+]} {#C-;#gagoff}

One of those triggers you'll have to include a #GAG, but you may want to carefully play with the various #GAG-related commands (I've not had much luck getting #gagon/off to work properly, myself.)
