Is there a way to make a script to color rooms in the cmud map after name in the map.

Like i have alot of rooms named "In the graveyard". Is there a script that goes thro the database and color all those rooms black.
And i have alot of rooms named "In the center of a serene forest meadow" , can i get all those to light green ?

Or do i have to click each rooms in the map and then go to room proterties and change from there ?

The worldmap is huge, and there is a old ascii map that a player did, I am currently running around making a cmud version of it.

(thats just the outworld, then all the zones are even more rooms)

Any help would be nice

It is possible to do it by script... however it would likely hang CMUD for a few minutes as it worked.

#CALL %maplocked(0)
#FORALL %numrooms {
#IF (%roomname(%i)="In the graveyard") {#CALL %roomcol(%i, black)}
#IF (%roomname(%i)="In the center of a serene forest meadow") {#CALL %roomcol(%i, lightgreen)}
etc
}
#CALL %maplocked(1)

So i guess i take lines and save it to a file. what should i name the file ?
And then go to actions run script ?

Anyways it i get it to work, it will be fantastic

You can also edit the properties of several rooms at once, but that tends to mess up the very next room you create via the mapper for some reason.

Yeah i have tried to use the nearby in panels to get as many rooms i can, and then change em all. But it misses so many rooms sometimes

if you put the map into mapping mode, you can draw a box around multiple rooms and select them that way. or shift+click to add individual rooms

aye thanks. So those commands you printed out, what should i call the file. is it just a txt file or do i need to call it something else ?

I would likely make a new #EVENT onMapUpdate {to hold it}
Similar to an #ALIAS, but without the possibility of sending the callword to the game if you disable the setting.
Just '#RAISE onMapUpdate' to execute.

Ok didnt get ur code to work. But this did.

#CALL %maplocked(0)
#VAR Path %mapquery("[Name] LIKE '%Swimming out upon the ocean%'")
#FORALL @Path {#call %roomcol(%i, blue)}
#CALL %maplocked(1)

I just change the "swimming out upon the ocean" to diffrent descriptions.
Thank you for showing the way with maplock and %roomcol%
etc.

Not sure if i am doing it the correct way, but atleast it looks like its working
