SO I fixed the issue with picking up the map as it displays on room switching by replacing the coulornotes with simulate so it does not mess with the parsing of map start lines. One final issue I am having is the * that represents my location on the map is showing up in black. In the mud ithas the * with a blinking white cursor so it's not an issue but in the mini window I have to change the background colour from black to grey, but it makes some of the colours look off from the game. Is there a way for me to grab the * and switch the colour?

Thanks

This is just a stylization in the plugin. You can remove the bit that goes


-- title rectangle
   check (WindowRectOp (win, 2, 2, 2, -2, font_height * 2 + 10, title_colour))
   check (WindowRectOp (win, 5, 2, 2, -2, font_height * 2 + 10, 5, 8))

Also it's not displaying the start and end lines of the map frame.

That's because the plugin is set up to catch but not show elements that are merely indicators of the start and end of the map. It only shows the stuff between those indicators. You'd have to edit function map_redirect to look like this if you want to show them...


-- map redirector
function map_redirect (name, line, wildcards, styles)
   if name == "map_start" then
      EnableTrigger ("multi_line_map", true)  -- capture subsequent lines
      map_lines = {}
      max_width = 0
   end

   table.insert (map_lines, styles)
   max_width = math.max (max_width, #line)

   if name == "map_end" then
      EnableTrigger ("multi_line_map", false)  -- no more lines to go
      Display_Map ()
   end -- if

end -- function map_redirect

Also while Look and and move both display the same map with the same dimensions the map only catches the map when I do a look. when I do a move it only seems to rip my closing line of my map from the main screen. The one difference is on roommoves there is a colournote that is displayed before the map and seems to be breaking the trigger processing the map.

Then you'll need reconsider how your triggers work, I think.

So I pulled this down and tweaked the trigger to match the start and end of my map windows and it's working somewhat.

the first two lines of the display show portions of my map rather than the roominfo

Also it's not displaying the start and end lines of the map frame.

Below are the triggers I use and the map from the mud. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think there are other threads about more generic mappers. But yes, it should be possible to do that. After all, once you have the start line, you can disable the trigger that matches that, and enable one that matches the end line.

Is there a way to make this work when the line at the start of the map is the same at the end? What I am trying to capture looks like this:

It shouldn't change the wrap size on its own. Something must be changing it back.

Anyway, see this page:

Template:post=10106 Please see the forum thread: http://gammon.com.au/forum/?id=10106.


Notice on the screenshot there the text box is much smaller and the map is on one side? Half-way down the page is the alias I used to do that. You can copy and paste that in, and then tweak the settings a bit to make the text part the size you want. You would just have to type that alias every time you started up, or go into the scripting tab and put "!makerect" (note the ! there) in the "on world open" box near the bottom. That makes that alias automatically execute when you open the world.

Likely a stupid question, but is there a way to make the text coming from the mud wrap around the miniwindows? I tried setting the text to wrap at 75 lines in mush 4.51, but every couple of minutes it resets to wrap at 107 lines, and i've tried doing it multiple ways, to no avail.

Appreciate any feedback on this :)

The one on this page was designed for the way Aardwolf sends its maps, in particular, on request, it sends <MAPSTART> at the start of the map and <MAPEND> at the end. The plugin uses those to know where to capture the map.

You could adapt it for your MUD if you can identify something that always appears at the start of a map, and something that appears at the end (the thing at the end could be something that is *not* usually in the map, if that makes it simpler).

Just by question, because I'm not familiar with how this plugin will work. Do you know if it will work with New Worlds Ateraan?

I should add too, that for Aardwolf users, I am working with Lasher to do a version for Aardwolf - I just need a bit more information from the MUD and it should be up shortly. He also is planning to release a full map database.
