Hmm, I'm having issues getting the automapper to work due to a minimap that the game uses. Some sample rooms are below.

East Temple Street

%%"% # increased dramatically on the street. The cobblestone has given way to iron
###*## as the surfacing for the road, an obviously expensive way to deal with the

Paths: [ North East South West ]

You trudge into the snowy city.

You leave the stormy city streets and take shelter indoors.

Well you could always try turning the mini map off Wink

Other than that I'm not sure what would be best. I believe there is a way to override the automapper with triggers. Check out this topic and see if you can adjust what Matt Lofton set up for your own purposes.

True, and I had pondered doing just that. Also any way to make it not read the sector entrance/exit messages as the room Title?

Yep. In the #TRIGGER pattern, surround the first part of the pattern in parentheses. In the code, change #TAG name to #TAG name %1.

Every (or nearly so) #TAG option allows you to provide the optional exact string expression to give to the automapper, rather than just giving it the entire line.

I'm sure I'm doing something stupid but I keep getting it to not flag the correct parts.

Here's what I'm typing:

I find that it is easier to use descpara instead of desc, also the paths trigger should be a trigger by itself NOT a condition.

So

*snicker* You knew what MUD that text was from and actually logged on? (I'm assuming if you knew that worked with a specific room anyway)

Actually I did NOT fix the roomname trigger and I should have Embarassed

But it DID work with the text.

What I did was I created a variable and pasted the text from the box provided into it. Saved the trigger and created an alias named south, Then in the south alias I put #show @roomtext.

Then I ran the configurer. It came up, sent the south command which called the alias that sent the text. Five seconds later the box came up and everything was the correct color.

If you fix the name trigger you will likely have better luck. You DO need to use the condition and the exits trigger I gave you though.

And you need to make a trigger that matches the prompt and tag it prompt. I did not have a leading prompt on the text I tested, and again I forgot to make one.
