If you click the configuration icon (the asterisk in the bottom-left of the mapper) you can change the search depth.

Ah, so that's what depth means!

Also, is there any way you could incorporate a more in-depth search at some point? I think it would be amazing to be able to locate a room across the world when I need to move between cities or from a city to a hunting spot. Then again it could also be a bad thing in the long run, since I'd get lazy after mapping the world and just speed everywhere.

It's in the database, so you could easily enough search for the room and at least report what zone it is in, which would probably help you get into the general area.

Same subject, new question, what line of the plugin do areas go in? I tried editing the area from the mapper window but it says "no areas exist"

If you got the Achaea database (which it sounds like you might not have) then it had the areas in it. Maybe Twisol can advise, there is probably a simple bit of SQL that would add them to your database.

Unfortunately, I haven't really used the mapper extensively. I never needed it much myself, and I like walking places manually (I know, I'm weird). I'm not sure how I can help here.

Nick can probably advise you on how to download and prepare the published room database, then. It's been discussed in the past though - and I wouldn't be surprised if it was in this very thread - so you might want to do a forum search.

The thing is, I'd rather add areas by hand, since this allows me to know where I have and haven't explored (good for discovering new areas and exploration rank)

Ah. I'm confused, can you explain the question again? (Also, I totally agree with your reasoning; that's why I like to do things manually and draw my own maps)

There's an option to 'set area'
If I can manually input area names, I should be able to label the areas myself using this option. I'm assuming, the way Nick was talking earlier, this requires a database of some sort. I'm also considering figuring out a way to add music depending on the area you're in, but I'm foreseeing a problem with the music starting over every time you move too.

The mapper automatically creates a database if one didn't already exist, so you should be okay on that front. The part I don't know much about is figuring out how to set the area name for each room in the database.

As for the music, I'd expect there to be code like this:
if current_area ~= new_area then
  start_music(new_area) -- just an example function
  current_area = new_area
end

Alright, I guess I'll wait for Nick's input and then get to work on developing a snippet to slip into the plugin

I've changed the mapper to allow you to add areas (assuming the rooms already have an area code).

A copy available here:

https://github.com/nickgammon/plugins/blob/master/ATCP_Mapper.xml


Here are the diffs:

https://github.com/nickgammon/plugins/commit/da02034d35a


In the case of the IRE MUDs you already have an area code (eg. 49 for "The City of Ashtan"). What this code does is let you assign a description to that code.
