A couple of improvements now ...

Snippets

I noticed that the SQLite database offers not only FTS (full text search) but "snippets". Now if you have used search engines you probably notice that when you search for a word that word in shown in the context it appears in the web page. This can be quite handy. For example, in the mapper if you were searching for "baker" you probably want the baker shop, not something like:


The baker used to live here.
North is the baker.
This is the tombstone of the baker.


So now if you do a "mapper find" it shows an extra line with your searched-for words in bold (using the search you can search for multiple things like "butcher OR baker").

For example:



In the above example I searched for:


mapper find shop OR trainer*


Note the use of OR (upper-case) which is required to search for this OR that (otherwise it looks for the word "or"). Also you can add an asterisk to match on trainer, trainers, etc.

Partial goto

A problem with the hashed room numbers is that they are tedious (impossible?) to type by hand. However you may want to quickly goto a common room (eg. the village square).

The goto has been amended to match on a partial room number, so instead of:


mapper goto e960d909fb


... you can now type:


mapper goto e96


The mapper will find the closest room starting with "e96" as its room number in this case. In many cases 3 or 4 digits are likely to be plenty.

For the snippets to work you need an updated mapper module (version 2.2 onwards). This can be downloaded from:

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

RH-click on the "raw" link, download the file, and put it into the "lua" subdirectory under the MUSHclient directory, replacing the existing mapper.lua file.

You also need the updated mapper plugin, from this page:

http://github.com/nickgammon/plugins/blob/master/Materia_Magica_Mapper.xml

Download that as described on page 1 of this thread.

I have been trying for about two hours to get this to work but I can't no matter what I do :(, I doesn't even show any rooms at all on the mapper. I am assuming you need SQLite in order for it to work and ive only tried to download it to plugin's. I have no idea how to install it using SQLite since I've never messed with SQLite. Any possible way you could post a tutorial on how to go about installing SQLite with a link then placing this file into SQLite in order to make it work? It would be greatly appreciated :)!

Thank you.

SQLite has been built into the client for a while now. You don't need to install anything.

Template:bug

Please provide a summary of your world configuration:

  • Either use the scripting Immediate window (Ctrl+I) to execute: Debug ("summary")

    or

  • Install the Summary plugin (see "Summary" feature) and type "summary"

Then copy the resulting information from the output window, and paste into a Forum message.

You need version 4.55 onwards of MUSHclient to do this.

Sorry for the delay. Chaos here.

I don't see the mapper plugin there.

Did you try another version of the mapper before? You may have a different (format) database. Try deleting the database file (close the world first so it isn't in use).

Its name will be something like "materiamagica.com_23.db" and it will be in the MUSHclient "executable" directory.

Ah yes thank you for that! Deleting those .db files fixed the problem! Except when the mapper comes on, it still stays the same green window (i.e. with the text of info about it in the middle and that's it).

Looks like my mud is un-mappable haha.

I get the following runtime error, and am wondering if there is a way to get this mapper to work with my MUD:

[string "Plugin"]:731: table rooms has no column named shop
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'error'
[string "Plugin"]:619: in function 'dbcheck'
[string "Plugin"]:731: in function 'create_tables'
[string "Plugin"]:501: in function <[string "Plugin"]:471>


Thanks for the help!!

You haven't said what MUD it is, but I would close the client, delete the mapper database, and start it up again. It looks like you might have an older database. With none there, it re-makes it.

Pretty cool, but one major issue (besides dizzy rooms, teleport rooms, etc)

Rooms that have same description. I.e., "wilderness areas" or roads that have same descrips.. without reviewing the code, i'm assuming it disregards same descrips so that it is not fooled by room LOOK. Problem with mapper is that it does not detect movement from one room to an adjacent room with same descrip, so it has to continually remap at the "end of the street" etc. (a lot of "fixed exits" on paths that have already been mapped) The result is an erroneous map in which paths connected to either "end" are out of synch. A city block that should be rectangular is now a spiral path or something equally silly.

any idea how to resolve this particular conflict?

Yes, that's annoying. I've done a few versions over the years, one of them incorporated the room exits to try to make the rooms unique. Not that this would always work.
