I am using Smaug 1.4a code and i have implemented the color codes and some very minor stuff. I am currently creating rooms with each room having its own separate 5x5 picture of the map view from that specific room. This is very time consuming if you can't imagine it yourself. I was wondering if there is some kind of auto map feature or code i could implement into my mud to where i can create the picture in a file and it would just show the map in each room from your location corresponding to the map. I ran across the overland thing from samson's site, but im not very experienced in coding. I don't really know if it is what i need either. Any help with some sort of answer or program/snippet would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There is ackmapper which will give you a visual representation of the current room and the surrounding rooms, which gives this sort of thing.

Its available from samsons site, it takes a bit of tweaking to get it working but nothing too dificult, as an absoute novice of a programmer like myself can manage to get it working.

Just a guy having a bit of fun. Nothing more, nothing less, I do not need I WIN to feel validated.
