It's quite simple, but i can't get it do work...
All i want to do is to take the first line received after the prompt as room name, unless it's empty (only a n).
The rest as desc until "Exits: *" is received.

alas:

HP: nn/nn CP: nn/nn >
Room name comes here
some description
comes here
Exits: south, east

HP: nn/nn CP: nn/nn >

Now to my suggestion: Why not open a forum for the mapper?
It seems that it gives alot of people a headquake...

Seems like pretty standard MUD output. The mapper has trouble auto-configuring with this?

zMapper is not the same as zMUD's mapper. zMapper is a program for enhancing maps. The actual AI code for detecting rooms is in zMUD.

Sample variation MAPPING problem - the words "Outside of the East Gate" is the room name - it is always light blue, and it is always the line before the Exits line...however, sometimes that 'You step out..' line is not there (mostly, actually). How do I tell the mapper that the first light blue line is the room name, or the line just before the Exits line is the room name?

Kjata, yes... big time...

It's because no room looks the same, even tho the room name/desc positions are standard.
Sometimes the rooms' are indented, sometimes not.
Sometimes the names are in White on a Blue background, some times red on black...
Different amount of paragraphs...
etc.

It's a pain.

Seems like a job for #TAG. Have a look at the help entry for the #TAG command. Then, try to make a system of triggers to match a complete room (name, description and exits) and use the #TAG command to let the mapper know which one is which. Also, be sure to match your prompt and #TAG it too. Finally, after everything is being matched correctly, re-configure the mapper so that the #TAGs come into effect.

Note: It is not very obvious from the help file, but tag does not expand its arguments except for a single variable reference or %1..%n
