Mapper help
 
Hey, another question. Trying to set up the automapper with my mud, the auto configuration wasn't picking up my exits. here's an example of what i receive from the mud "look" command, exits contained at the end of my prompt at the bottom:

Room Name
There is a bunch of crazy stuff going on in this room, because it is a long and complex room description
describing some of the things happening here in this particular room of BlahMUD.
A long torch functions as a street lamp here. (object - will not change for this room)
A large fountain sits in the middle of the road, taking up space. (object - will not change for this room)
Bill, captain of the peacekeepers patrols the area. (mob - will change)

30H 96V 1715X 0C Exits:NESWU>

any suggestions before i start changing settings not knowing what i'm doing and mess things up? thanks.

You could try fiddling with Map Configuration properties, but I find it best/faster just to use the #TAG system. If the mapper is already catching name/description, you might be able to just create the prompt trigger, and from there you can parse out and tag the various parts in that line.

Code:
#trigger {your prompt pattern Exits: ($exits:%w)>} {
  stuff to handle the non-exits stuff
  #tag exit $exits
}


If that doesn't work properly, you will then be forced to tag name and desc as well
