Hello,
i got like 200+ zones mapped, and would like to know how to force cmud
to open right map of zone i just entered.

Zone: Name of zone
Room: Name of room

I enter zone so i got Zone name and room name and need cmud to open
right map...

In PvP situation going through all zones is just too slow.

Is there any way to do it?

and another question:

I got 3 databases with maps and need merge all of them, how to do it?

and another problem:
Printing...
Printed map not showing colors of rooms i putted on map.
When i print map it just print level i am in, if zone got a lot of levels it going be totaly unconfortable to go through it.
Somehow need make all map on same level when printed.

1)This is the intended function of the #FIND command. #FIND is dependant on your mapper configuration, so if it doesn't perfectly configure using the autoconfigure wizard you will need to use #TAG to compensate. Beyond this, you will need to post specifics. Most MUDs are going to limit themselves to 1 standard room format, but it's not mandatory. BatMud, for example, has three basic room formats (overworld, subarea with no map, and subarea with map).

2)The way CMud (and, starting sometime in version 6 of ZMud) stores mapdata makes the entire map essentially one giant zone. There is no functionality in CMud to import/export rooms by zone, and while there is a very, very old pre-V3 utility for this purpose (Charbal's ZoneCopy utility) it is in no way compatible with the CMud map structure any longer. I do not know of any similar script currently available, but it's not going to be a trivial matter.

3)How directions are mapped can be changed, but it's not built-in to CMud and thus any changes made have to be done external to the mapper module (ie, via SQL or ZMapper). As such, any changes made will not show up until you reload your mapfile (which is more commonly done at session opening rather than via the File|Open... mapper menu). You will need to edit the Dx, Dy, and Dz columns in the DirTbl table. Keep in mind that CMud's mapping logic does collision detection to see if your exit ends up leading to an existing room, so if you move the draw numbers to somewhere beyond the first ring of adjacent rooms you could end up having your up/down rooms connect to those existing rooms rather than creating new ones (there's no way to account for this, as the logic is not expressed in the mapfile data).

This should be the only change necessary, though you may wish to go further and make a new exit type with a different image. This can only be done via ZMapper, however.

Hey,
thanx for answer.

I play Duris, so i got similar maps probably like Batmud:
three basic room formats (overworld, subarea with no map, and subarea with map).

I can't somehow configure mapper for area with map.
which looks like this, it cant catch room name. there is no description,and there is exits.

Hello,
could someone help me wiht configuring mapper with example above? with map.

and another problem:

dissapearing marker after enter pool:

when debuging i found:
0.0006 | DurisHom |enter pool
0.0021 | i DurisHom >enter pool<CR><LF>
0.0217 | m DurisHom | Event "onRoomWalk" raised : (%1="0", %2="", %3="", %4="")
0.0032 | d DurisHom |[1] DurisHome Comline : stopped
0.0009 | k DurisHom |Loc "hort" changed from "41943" to "25827"
0.0674 | m DurisHom |Event "onZoneEnter" raised : (%1="0", %2="120", %3="", %4="")

Room 25827 is diffrent from room in mapper it should be 25762.

So in mapper i got 25762 and in debug it showing 25827?

where i can change this destination room, because from mapper level i can not.

Configuration:

#trigger "tRoomInfo" {^([%w%s])$} {
//this is the room name line, initialize needed variables
Name = %1
Description = ""
Exits = ""
}
#condition {^(*)$} {
#if (%begins(%1,"Obvious exits: ")) {
//this is the exits line, set this trigger to the prompt state
Exits = %remove("Obvious exits: ",%1)
#state tRoomInfo 2
} {
//this is a description line, reset to this state
Description = %additem(%1,Description)
#state tRoomInfo 1
}
} {WithinLines|param=1}
#condition {^< %dh/%dH %dv/%dV Pos: %w > } {
//this is the prompt line, tag the appropriate variables for the mapper
#tag name @name
#if (@Description) {#tag desc %replace(@Description,"|",%cr)} {#tag desc " "}
#tag exit @exits
#tag prompt
} {nocr|prompt}

This will work for both types of examples you have given but it won't do anything for the map. There may also be things you didn't have in your examples that cause this trigger to not match, it's up to you to find them and insert them into the pattern.

Ok forgot i gagging MSP so room looks like this:

without map:

<map>
Zone: The Town of Moregeeth.
Room: At the Entrance to a Dark Cave
</map>

<map>
Zone: The Town of Moregeeth.
Room: At the Entrance to a Dark Cave
</map>
At the Entrance to a Dark Cave
There is a large cave here, a gapping maw in the earth. A multitude of
small rounded rocks on the floor of the cave tells a tale of a river that must
have once flowed here. The hard rock has yielded to centuries of eroding by
the water, leaving this passage into the earth. The passageway is lost in
darkness to the south.
Obvious exits: -East -South
A vampire bat hangs here waiting for its next meal.
A vampire bat hangs here waiting for its next meal.

<prompt>
< 1134h/1134H 175v/175V Pos: standing >
<>
</prompt>

and with map:

[code]
<map>
*****..^..**+
*M****..^M.***+**
*****M..MMM.***+**
*******.MMM..*****
*****M..^MM^^******
M*****..^M^^.*M**+*
M*****.^MMM^*****+** *
*****M.^MM^@++++++*****
*****.^^MMM^^.*M*******
*****.^^MMM^^.*M.*****.
* **.M^^MMM^^^^***.*.^
* **..M^^MMMM^^^*.**^
***M..^^MMMMM^^^^^
*M.^...MMMMMMMMM
**.M^.M^^^^^M

</map>
A Gravel Path Next to the Bog
Obvious exits: -North -East -South -West

<prompt>
< 1134h/1134H 175v/175V Pos: standing >
<>
</prompt>

From first case without map
i need Room Name/Room Description/Exits

From second case with map
i need Room Name/Exits

You can set the color of the room with %roomcol, I don't believe there's a way to set border colors besides in the room preferences window though.
