I've got a few simple triggers I use on Achaea to try and wrangle the Automapper into doing its thing, but the triggers seem to cause the program to crash once I send another room into the queue. The room names are a certain color, the prompt looks a certain way, etc. I do a reconfigure and it picks things up OK, but then when I move to another room, the queue gets the direction, but then hangs. Any ideas?

#TRIGGER {%e[33m} {#TAG name %1} "" {color}
#TRIGGER {^&%d{hp}h, &%d{mana}m ??-} {#TAG prompt}
#TRIGGER {You see exits leading} {#TAG exit %1}

Ok, I'm not an Automapper wizard for sure, but after looking over what you were posting and double checking a few things zmud, I have the following questions for you..

Could you post out the full room name? I see you have the color stuff in there, but %e[33m is just that, there is nothing then for what the RoomName looks like. Also I know I ran into a problem when I had used #setprompt, then had a brain hiccup, and tried to override it in the automapper #tag(s) it really didn't like that one bit.
I'm also wondering if that ??- part of your prompt is part of the actual prompt the mud gives you, since ? is one of those 'wildcards' you may need to put a ~?

One of the main things I try whenever I have trouble trying to get something to work "as I want it" I take it down to the very basics (no color, no flashy looks) and once I have it getting the first part down (room name even) then I'd work forward off of that.

Here's a room:

Ivy-covered archway to Minia.
Small flakes of white float through your field of vision here and there. A
weathered stone archway strewn with vibrant green ivy is here. A small plaque
on the top of the archway reads, "Welcome to Minia! All newbies, make
yourselves at home." Vellis, the butterfly collector potters about nearby. A
flame-charred chariot pulled by demonic goats stands here. Shibby Staven,
Harbinger of Muffins is here. He wields a small blackjack in his left hand.
Sawarda is here. He wields a steel shortsword in his left hand. Miriam
D'Augustine, Ward of Nature is here. She wields a steel shortsword in her left
hand. Mako is here. He wields a butterfly net in his right hand.
You see exits leading northeast, east, southeast, and south.

Here's a simpler one:

Well-worn path. (road)
Filling the firmament is a lattice of heavy grey clouds. You see exits leading
north and southwest.

Notice that sometimes the "You see exits leading" string sometimes doesn't occur on the same line as the directionals. The ?? are to capture the equilibrium and balance aspects of the prompt. Sometimes these are blanks instead. The color statement could likely go, since the roomnames are always the first line in the paragraph. I've given up on descriptions for now. Achaea uses a lot of specific colors for things, so I'm really hoping this isn't a color problem...
