Yep, that'll do it. I think it's time for me to make keypad macros for #move [direction] with the Control or Alt key, so it will be as simple as Ctl+[key] [#WALK :Party macro-key]. Just a few keystrok ...

Ah, that is a simple way. New marker, track it to get the desired view, then delete it. Thanks much.

EDIT: Yeah, that is quite a caveat. I'll hunt for a solution. [generate a path from the original ...

I'd like to change the map display by centering on any given room by referencing the room with its vNum. Is there a simple way to do this?

It occurs to me that one method would be to save the curre ...

For completeness, here's an example of my script for the conversion task. The pattern matches any room description, though I won't bother showing or explaining it - it's quite a beast.
the script bel ...

Yep, I'm using #tag for new rooms and %roomdesc for existing rooms. I'm avoiding using the UserStr field for this, as this field is also useful for me in other ways, and putting a lonnng text string i ...

I'd like to deal with changing descriptions for day/night on my mud by formatting such descriptions in the mapper database thusly:
DAY:This street is quite buys now, in the full light of day.
NIGHT: ...

I edited the xml to change the tab names. In the xml, one had a blank caption, while one had a caption that listed the windows which were part of the tab. The second tab created had the blank caption ...

Well I found the obscure classes that were generating these 'Tells' locations, though not why they were. I also managed to delete them.

I'd still like to know what the '?' signifies. Sometimes on ...

I can rename windows, but not tabs. It's not a visibility issue. No one else has this problem?

Just to be clear, open a session, then open another session from the file menu. Now right click on one ...

Right clicking a tab in a multiple-character session shows "Rename ..." in the lsit box, but clicking on this choice does nothing. How do you rename tabs?

I get odd location markers listed in the Automapper drop down list, which correspond to the #loc listing:

Locations (* is current, - is disabled):
? Tells at room 13931 (blue) ...

After trying many permutations with shared packages and map windows, I have come to the following conclusions:

You can have multiple map windows only with multiple CMUD instances.
If you have mult ...

Alright, so I can't run two different mapped muds in a single session. I can live with that.

Fiddling with shared sessions has prompted me to also tackle this with my primary mud. I have more than ...

I've recently started playing on a second mud, an am having no end of trouble setting up a multiple-character session, specifically with Maps.

I have two sessions - one for each character, each on ...

Aha. That looks like it will work perfectly. Thanks again Shalimar.

What's the best way to run a script when the value of a variable changes? There seems to be no way to match MXP entity publication with an MXP trigger, which is rather what I'm after, but running on a ...

There are languages that provide both a mod function and a remainder function (in Ruby, modulo and mod, respectively) to deal with the discrepancy involving sign. This discrepancy definitely dates to ...

Yep, I have. I've been working on exactly that. Thanks for the suggestion though.

And Shalimar, log on more often will ya? I'd like to learn some skills from you. Very Happy

I didn't realize Zugg had ...

I changed the alarm definition to

#ALARM xpAlarm *@period {#CALL @xpTick()} xpTracking

removing the quotes around the name, and adding #CALL. No extra CR/LF now.

How each mud uses entities is ...

No help? I'd try to get some official support for this, using support@zuggsoft.com, but my last 2 missives to that address, sent 4 business days ago, have not elicited replies. What happened to 48 hou ...

Hmm, maybe it's the alarm?

#ALARM "xpAlarm" *@period {@xpTick()} xpTracking

In most coding languages, the mod function behaves the same way. That is, computer science mod is different from mathematical mod.

Gagging these blank lines (^$) doesn't work.

I wish there was some help document to explain the basic overview of zScript from a coder's perspective. Such as when things are evaluated, when they're ...

I've got an alarm that fires every 30 seconds to collect xp info. It runs the following function:
$curTime = %eval(%time(h)*3600+%time(n)*60+%time(s))
$xp = %mud.xp
...

My xp / time tracking system stores current xp info every n seconds, and stores it to a database. To prevent this database from getting unnecessarily large, I have the following line in an OnConnect e ...
