The relevant part of the code is:


 local areaname = room.area
  if tonumber (areaname) then
    areaname = areas [tonumber (areaname)]
  end -- convert to name
    
  room.hovermessage = string.format (
      "%s\tExits: %s\nRoom: %s\nArea: %s%s%s%s",
      room.name, 
      table.concat (texits, ", "),
      uid,
      areaname,
      terrain,
      info,
      notes
      -- depth,
      -- table.concat (path, ",")
      )


I think I would convert the first line to read:


 local areaname = room.area or "Unknown"


It was complaining about bad argument #5 to 'format' (string expected, got nil). The 5th argument is areaname, which must have been nil. The change I made would at least make it display as "Unknown".

This mapper is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE and I have suggested it to everyone I talk to about maps. Nick, you are freaking amazing.

I read through the comments but I'm sure I missed some.

Nick or anyone: Why does the mapper only draw one level now instead of just drawing until the max length limit is reached or a collision is detected? That is how an older version I had worked and I'd like to be able to turn that back on; suggesting that there is even a toggle for this. I haven't looked in the code yet.

At the start of the plugin are a few lines like this:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE muclient [
  <!ENTITY show_vnums "true" > 
  <!ENTITY show_timing "false" > 
  <!ENTITY show_completed "false" > 
  <!ENTITY show_database_mods "true" > 
  <!ENTITY show_other_areas "false" > 
  <!ENTITY show_area_exits "true" > 
  <!ENTITY show_up_down "false" > 
  <!ENTITY speedwalk_prefix "" > 
]>


Change true/false as required to enable various features. You might want to change "show_other_areas". Then reload the plugin.

Thanks.

Something you may want to implement is adding another true/false option there to eliminate the down dashed lines when the room is classified a shop. Fairly easy to code as I put it in an older version of the map.

Quick question. I installed the mapper and it works great. But later I connected to Achaea through a program called VadiSystem and the mapper stopped working. Does anyone know why or how to fix this? There's a companion program to the MushClient mapper called VadiMap, but given the choice between the two, I'd much rather have the one I got from this site.

I believe it's because Vadisys filters out certain ATCP messages that the mapper requires, because I remember dealing with this with someone else.

You can try setting this configuration option in the config.txt file:
atcp_info "yes"
'Soludra' on Achaea

I've noticed now the new plugin isnt reading ATCP correctly. Every new room is being classified as black forest. I will test some more tonight and make sure I updated all pieces of the new mapper correctly.

Hours have brought me no closer to making the map simply not show other areas... (sigh)I love coding.

Near the start of the plugin does it say:


<!ENTITY show_other_areas "false" >

Aye, it does. Tried changing it to true as well, just to see, but yes it is at false.

Edit: I was using Dontarion's modified mapper plugin, with Kairuni's length stuff scripted in. I thought that might be the hold up so I did try to tinker with the default mapper plugin as well, but I could not figure out how to hide other areas with either.

Edit 2: I have completely wiped everything and reinstalled the latest version of MUSHCLIENT. Out of the box, the mapper is now properly hiding areas (that are now instead numbered).

Problem Found: Dontarion's beautiful but lethal mapper.lua.

@ Nick:

Think you could work in a permanent solution for tracking wormholes? I'm going to re-add my wormhole solution into the current version but IIRC the last time took quite a bit effort but this is because I don't do SQL at all.
