| Which version of mapper.lua are you using? The one that came with version 4.51, or the one you downloaded from Github? |

| It does work nicely though. Looks like a mess with all the rooms overlapping as they do, but I'm able to get around by changing the depth as necessary. | Top |

| Looks great, Just did a quick run--didn't get to fully test the new version out. I'll let you know the results! Here is a question for you though. Is it feasible to code in something that draws your 'bookmarked' rooms and the paths to them first--and then fills in the rest?
Just thought that option in that vein might be desirable, since often times people are often running along the same route. It would also allow for individuals to write an alias to quickly change bookmarks to those rooms which are unexplored--giving them a kind of 'exploration mode.' | Top |

| I play on a version of ghostmud. I'm trying to figure out how to get your mapper working for this mud.
The Wandering Soul
You are standing in the bar. The bar is set against the northern wall, old
archaic writing, carvings and symbols cover its top. A fireplace is built into
the western wall, and through the southeastern windows you can see the temple
square. This place makes you feel like home.
A small sign with big letters is fastened to the bar.
[Exits: west]
A neon-lit juke box sits in the corner of the bar.
A bartender watches you calmly, while he skillfully mixes a drink.
The room name is always on the first line, followed by the desc, a blank line, exits, with room items/mobs below that.
I know it's more than likely not hard, but I can't figure this out. | Top |

| If you can detect the room name and description, then a variation of the plugin on page 7 of this thread should work. You would basically need to change the trigger part so you can detect these things. |

| Ok, I tried using the HASH, and it really does demonstrate the power of the mapper, works beautifully. Unfortunately, the hash value technique isn't strong enough for me. I've run into a couple rooms in the brief time I've been testing this that have the same hashed value--even after appending the coordinates to the hash value!
Now, I came up with a solution, path equivalence, as I mentioned earlier. Only I haven't the faintest idea as to how to begin coding it. I don't suppose there are any suggestions? | Top |

| Are you saying two rooms have the same descriptions, and co-ordinates, but are not the same room? How does that work? |

It's quite possible, if exceedingly strange. A MUD might give each zone its own coordinate space (as Achaea does), so if two rooms in separate zones have the same descriptions, you'll have a collision.
If you can easily grab the zone name, and zone names are unique, you can use that with the hash key as well. Of course, this is all theoretical and making a lot of assumptions. Still, it is possible to occur. |

| Well, whats happening is the room is in a 3d area. I can only keep track of (x,y) coordinates. (rarely z, as I'll rarely go up/down) ... But, if I move northeast, I may actually be moving northeast and down. As I have no way of knowing this. I can't check the z coordinate--which would likely reveal this.
Now, the idea of path equivalence I proposed earlier is probably the cleanest and most general way to make accurate maps. Basically, you enter a room A. It seems to match room B. Since you have to have visited room B before to know this, you know a path from room B to room C (a guaranteed unique room). So if room A=B then the path from B to C should hold.
i.e. I'm assuming paths are all two-way (here they are) and that a unique room can be found (here it can).
Problem is, I've no idea how to integrate this. | Top |

| Alright, I think I've gotten my head around how to do this. Most of what I need is probably already somewhere accessible in the mapper module! So basically, how do I give the mapper 2 uid's and get the shortest path between them? i.e. I think you'll see what I'm driving at in the following...
--[[ generates a list of matching rooms, their nearest unique room
and a corresponding path to that unique room, returns the
next viable observation number ]]--
function match_check(temp_uid)
local unique_rooms = {}
local count = 0
-- build table of unique rooms
for k,v in pairs(rooms) do
if rooms[k].unique == 1 then
unique_rooms [k] = rooms [k]
count = count + 1
end
end
local i = 1
while rooms[temp_uid .. "," .. tostring(i)] do
--unique_room_id = the nearest room on the unique room list
--path = path from room "temp_uid .. ',' .. tostring(i)" to unique_room_id
matchlist[temp_uid .. "," .. tostring(i)] = {rooms[temp_uid .. "," .. tostring(i)], unique_room_id, path}
i = i + 1
end
return i
end -- match_check
As you can see, every room is being assigned a baseline "tempid" which is its hash value, followed by "," and then then the instance of that hash value. | Top |

| I am trying to use this but for some reason the plugin just will not grab the area or environment and populate it into the map. I have no idea of how to check if it is going into the database itself either. I can not separate areas or anything. The rooms will not let me color code as they are all showing as unknown when it comes to the color.
Do you think you know what could be causing this? I downloaded the latest version of the plugin that you have posted here.
I have tried to use this with both Achaea and Midkemiaonline. | Top |

| Try downloading their XML file which lists amongst other things their area codes. A couple of pages back in this thread, I think, is how to do it. There is a plugin you download from the Git site, and you download the Achaea mapper xml file from their site. |
