Medievia AutoMapper Script

This script is designed to aid in the mapping of Medievia. zMUD's AutoMapper will mostly map Medievia simply by using the configuration wizard. However, Medievia's output can complicate things for you. The problem is that players, mobiles, room objects and even blood are part of the same block of text as the description. This is an example:

The Script

Instructions

IMPORTANT: The first trigger listed is a generic prompt trigger. This trigger must match your prompt for this script to work.

Copy/Paste the script into a text file. Import the script via the Settings -> Import -> Script menu within zMUD, and then open the AutoMapper. If you have already completed the configuration wizard, you will need to reconfigure the AutoMapper because this script will completely change the way the mapper receives and parses the information. Once you have completed the configuration wizard, you need to change a few things.

In the AutoMapper window, click on the Config menu, select Configuration Settings and then highlight Strings and Doors on the lefthand side. Enter the following commands:

For the open command enter: open %2
For the unlock/open command enter: unlock %2 %1;open %2
For the look command enter: roomlook

That is all of the manual tweaking of the mapper configuration that is necessary.

Now is the time to make sure that the generic prompt trigger I provided matches your prompt. If it does not, you will need to change the pattern so that it does.

Optional Addon

I am providing a neat addon to the above script that will color your rooms as they are created according to PK type. The colors are white, yellow and red for LPK, NPK and CPK resepectively.

Hrm, this completely escaped my attention.

Ok i feel like an idiot. I got it working now, after looking at your new prompt trigger it appears the one i wrote was messing it up, i put %d/%dbr even though br doesnt look the same way as the HP and mana. Sorry. Btw script seems to be working nice, and the new addon is rather nifty.

Wonderful, and don't feel like an idiot! We all make mistakes. I am really glad it is working for you now.

This is wonderful, working very well for me.

Just a suggestion how about making the room name detection look for a line that starts with yellow color code and ends with the reset code
with no color changes in between to handle the few instances where a line starts with yellow and then changes color (when an invised person/mob says something it starts with a yellow asterisk then switches to bold cyan e.g.)

Something along the lines of (doing this use regex, not sure how to go about in zmud trigger option)

#REGEX {^%e[1;33m([A-Za-z ',-]+)%e[0m%}

That can probably be worked a little better.

Then this is just one other thing I've been playing with for walking paths and Medievia Breath
Using the breath on your prompt to control the speedwalk

Check to see if we're %inwalk when we get a prompt
If %walkactive we check to see if breath is less then # (40? seems to work nice) if it is we #PAUSE
If not %walkactive and breath is greater then # (80? seems to work nice) we #STEP

I played around with this a few times and got it working nicely but every once in a long while it fails and Im not sure why
never fails if i have ruby boots on though :/ but there expensive to supply every char with :) so would be nice to get this working 100%

EDIT: Just a note about the breath trigger the command for this prompt almost certainly has to be wrapped in #PRIORITY{} to handle multiple prompts being sent in quick succesion , usually when there's lag I learned this with my bs reporter

Really nice script!

I'll make the suggested change to the room trigger. I didn't do this because I don't use channel headers, so I don't have the *say problem.

I've also pondered using breath to control speedwalks, but using slow walking and this script (with at least c quickness) works great for me. I'll still look into it more when I get some more time this week.

Yep, #PRIORITY will probaby be needed, but the prompt trigger I provided was only a generic one. Certainly if you are doing lots of stuff with your prompt (ie variables, bs/mal reps, etc), #PRIORITY is almost necessary.

Thanks for your positive comments.

Works like a charm, thank you.

This is still giving me problems in that it is not capturing the room name when I run it with the Medievia Map on. Has anyone been able to get the mapper to work with that?
