Try downloading their XML file which lists amongst other things their area codes. A couple of pages back in this thread, I think, is how to do it. There is a plugin you download from the Git site, and you download the Achaea mapper xml file from their site.


When importing the xml file for Midkemiaonline I get the following error

Run-time error
World: Midkemia
Function/Sub: create_map_database called by alias
Reason: processing alias ""
[string "Plugin"]:289: Function 'io.lines' disabled in Lua sandbox - see MUSHclient global preferences
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'error'
[string "Sandbox"]:39: in function 'lines'
[string "Plugin"]:289: in function <[string "Plugin"]:208>


EDIT: ok so I figured out the issue. If anyone is going to use this make sure you go into your global properties and trust the game id and plugin ID in your LUA tab.

Here's a fun feature!

When standing at room 4932, if I do MAPPER GOTO 4932, I walk out of the room and walk back in. Needs a simple check to see if you're already in the room, for anyone who might be trying to walk to people and/or spamming the goto command. :)

Hmm. I tested for walking to the same room when doing a find, but not a goto. In fact the goto is simply a normal find where the condition is the target room is found.

However a change before mapper.find is even called will handle that, I added that to:

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

In particular in this:

http://github.com/nickgammon/plugins/commit/e4b1d2884

See around line 1659.

Hey, I've been using the serialization thing that you gave an example of to do my database for the mapper. I've got one area that is up to ~4500 rooms. The file is up to about 2500KB. I'm just curious how much this method can really handle--i.e. should I invest some time into figuring out how to database with sql or something, and further how to script some sort of transfer. For reference, I'll probably have another dozen or so areas equally large.

Hmm, yes well the serialization was really to keep the example simple. My main mapper plugin uses the SQLite database. Check this out:

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

Adding to the database, and querying it, are quite straightforward, and you just need to create the tables initially if they don't exist (all this is in the plugin).

The database will save memory eventually because you only need some rooms in memory at once rather than all of them. In my plugin once a room is accessed I keep it in memory for speed, but I assume that in one session you won't visit every possible room.

The serialization will eventually introduce a lag spike when the plugin is first loaded (as it reads in megabytes of data) and when the world is saved (as it is all written out again).

Alright, I think I'm going to do that. I'll probably try to get this done over next week.

I think I'll try to incorporate all the maps into one map at the same time. As it is, I manually switch the databases, which isn't a huge problem since the "areas" are so large--just a bit of a pain. Not yet sure how I'll do that yet, but I figure this transitional phase is probably as good a time as any to puzzle that out and make that change as well.

I shall post my results after I finish or hit a wall! Thanks again.

I dunno if you have forgot to added a function for this variable in init:

show_area_exits


I have noticed that it does exist ATCP_Mapper.xml but not in mapper.lua. So, I wonder if you are going to implement it eventually?

inquisitively,
~maxhrk


EDIT:

nevermind, i found a updated version of mapper.lua that now has it. Excuse me. :3

I have scanned throughout the recent ATCP_mapper.xml and noticed there is no function to change the areas.. so i go ahead and then voluntarily add the functionality for it.

Append to the local handler table to this:

 { name = "Move the room to a different area", func = change_room_area}


And adds new 'change_room_area' function to the script:

function change_room_area(room, uid)
	 
	 if next(areas) == nil then
		mapper.maperror("There is no available areas to choose from.")
		return
	end
	
	 local chosen_area = utils.listbox ("Choose area to alter the room's area", "Areas ...", areas)
	 
	 if not chosen_area then
		return
	end
	
	rooms[uid].area = chosen_area
	mapper.draw (current_room)
	
	dbcheck (db:execute (string.format ([[
    UPDATE rooms SET area = %s WHERE uid = %s;
  ]], fixsql  (chosen_area),  -- area (e.g. "1" for "western ithmia")
      fixsql  (uid)  -- from current room
      )))
end


I hope it help people who want to change the area of the room more easier. :p Now i dont know if auto-surveying is relevant to 'atcp_mapper.xml' :p

I've added that to the standard distribution, without testing I admit, but it looks OK.

Tested it now, seems to work OK. I pushed some changes (commit e57b06f) to make the style a bit more consistent, and to fix the grammar of "There is no available areas to choose from".

Hey, I was just thinking about it. And one feature that might be cool is an "offline" feature where you can use the mapper to simulate exploration.

I did figure out a way, though it looks a little screwy in some places because the exits are drawn halfway from each side and don't always meet in the middle, like when a room is southeasterly but it goes over one and down two. I haven't had the time to come up with a way to correct the exit lines yet.

Do you mean instead of the dashed border in this screenshot?
