I get:

"There are no available areas to choose from."
When I try to "edit area" from the RH click

and

"This room already belongs to area 0"
When I try to "add new area" from the RH click

Also, the autowalk will only move me one room at a time now, as in I move one room closer to my goal and have to search again


Edit: During testing I've found it still locates areas fine (using where) and it knows where I'm supposed to be going, it just never enters the next command in the queue

Try getting the latest version from the link:

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

I've made a couple of changes:


  • You can change the name for an existing area (thus you can correct spelling if you get it wrong)

  • Rooms with an existing area code of zero (as in your case) will now be correctly updated as you walk around to be the correct area number. So first I would walk into a room, getting a non-zero area number. Then add an area description for that room. Then all rooms in that area should then automatically join that area (once their area number is updated by visiting them).


About the autowalk - do you get an error message? If so, what is it?

No error messages unless I move in the wrong direction (In other words if I manually walk the path I would get from "where" while the autowalk is queued then it counts down the queued actions as if I were autowalking.

Edit: if I stop/resume/stop/resume continuously I move (albeit slowly) along the determined path to the location one room at a time.

More edit: area exits are shown as 'unexplored exits' (that circle around the nearest room with an unexplored exit)

Even More Edit: The area system is working great now! As long as you name an area (eg. 55 is Hashan, so if it's still 55 it returns nil in the list of areas, but when renamed Hashan it has a value), you can change the area of a room at will.

What timing delay do you have for speedwalking? Are timers enabled?

As for the area exits, that should clear up a bit as you explore and have the area numbers updated.

Yeah, timers were off because I was returning a bad value on a timer I had to stop immediately and forgot about, haha! I feel pretty dumb on that one.

As for the 'updating' do you mean once I've explored an entire area, or once I've given the area number a name?

Hmmm. Thought they might not be. I amended the mapper.lua module to check timers are enabled so others don't get caught the same way.

https://github.com/nickgammon/mushclient/blob/master/lua/mapper.lua

The "area change" circle is drawn on a transition from one area to another (eg. area 49 to area 50). This shows an "area exit". You can configure the mapper to not show those, or to hide areas other than the current one.

The area change refers to the room's area info. If you are seeing a lot of them you probably have a lot of rooms with area 0 in them still. To make them go away you need to revisit the room and get this message:


Fixed room 3736 to have coordinates: -2 -7 0 and area 49


(That's if you have the database updating message enabled).

Then once each room has the correct area number associated with it, the circles should go away. In your case the circles might help you know where you have to go to update the area information.

Good thinking, you've done some amazing work with this mapper!

And the circle shows exits unexplored (missing info) but it also appears at area edges, even after explored, and that's annoying when I use the circle to update info. Also, in the earliest posts I saw that the mapper showed areas around your current area, but in this version it doesn't, is there something I have to configure for that?

All that stuff is at the very start of the mapper:


<?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 "" > 
]>


eg. "show_other_areas"

Once you have that set to true, and reload the mapper, you should be able to mouse-over the rooms in question and see if they are area 0, or simply in a different, but explored, area.

Alright, with other areas shown it looks fine, thank you!

Edit: Actually... after using it a bit I see that there's always two circles on an area exit, and that gets very distracting when you're in an area like the forest with the river through it, where the river becomes completely lit up

I noticed that. I hoped you wouldn't <grin>.

[EDIT]

Both rooms are on the boundary, right? The first room is the boundary (say 49/50) and the second room is also on the boundary. Technically, the boundary is between the two rooms.

It's very noticeable when you start remapping everything to add the areas to it, but damn if you don't have a good point.

And I would disable area borders if it weren't so *damn* useful knowing I haven't explored an exit yet. I know you've put so much work into this already, but would it be possible to have a different colored circle for rooms with unexplored exits? ((I'm thinking purple or violet))

edit: ((And Sorry Nick, it's now my life goal to criticize your every move while begging for your help in every little code snippet I do ;3 ))

Well the nice thing about scripts is they do what *you* tell them to do. Feel the power!

Now in your case, you want a visual indication of rooms that have area 0, right? So you can go revisit them?

So, in the get_room function, down near the end, tell it to do that.

For example, change the lines:


 if uid == current_room then
    room.bordercolour = config.OUR_ROOM_COLOUR.colour
    room.borderpenwidth = 2
  elseif room.area ~= current_area then
    room.bordercolour = config.DIFFERENT_AREA_COLOUR.colour
  end -- not in this area
  
  return room


To:


 if uid == current_room then
    room.bordercolour = config.OUR_ROOM_COLOUR.colour
    room.borderpenwidth = 2
  elseif room.area ~= current_area then
    room.bordercolour = config.DIFFERENT_AREA_COLOUR.colour
  end -- not in this area
  

  -- unknown area?
  if tonumber (room.area) == 0 then
    room.fillcolour = ColourNameToRGB "cornflowerblue"  -- or whatever
  end -- if no area known


  return room

I noticed the code actually changes an unknown area to either of "Area 0" or "Area <unknown>" so if my suggested change doesn't work, try:



 -- unknown area?
  if room.area == "Area 0" then
    room.fillcolour = ColourNameToRGB "cornflowerblue"  -- or whatever
  end -- if no area known

That's wonderful! But I still can't find the 'circle' snippet.

Also, your code stops working if you name area 0 ((I named it "Unknown" before you gave me that snippet))

What is this circle snippet of which you speak?

And as for area 0, change the if test to check for "Unknown".
