I have been trying to figure out how to get my mapper to map areas I want to add. I can get it to work to a certain point but then It starts goin weird on me. Like if I backtraxck.. Or I end up entering a new area it places rooms in the same spot on the map as another room. What am I doing wrong?? Yes I am really new to this so Im sure this is simple to most of you out there.

The problem with the zMUD mapper is that it's never simple. I built myself a very complex bundle of triggers to track rooms, exits, and even descriptions. Paired with a proper mapper configuration file, it did okay in mapping rooms, but it's still never been perfect. What works one day, may not work the next. What works for one set of rooms, will not work for another.

Unfortunately, trying to map rooms accurately with it requires a lot of patience and a fair amount of technical expertise.

I see. Well patience I have but the technical expertise I know I dont. Ill just keep messing with it then and hopefuly Find something that will work for me. Although now knowing it is not simple makes me feel a bit less dumb smile.gif . So thanks alot Zarquan.
