It would be nice to have a checkbox in the mapper dialog to check if you want all non standard commands to be added to the the path. If it isn't checked, it would work like it does now, if it is checked, every climb tree,open door,say thisisthetopsecretpassword would be added as (climb tree/), (open door/), (say thisisthetopsecretpassword/).

Another thing that would be nice would be the ability to add your own nonstandard movements to the standard ones like the ne,se,sw,nw movements are now so you could say that open door should always be added as (open door/open door) even when the above option isn't checked.

This would make it a bit easier to go through areas with lots of things like that than it is now when you have to remember bring up the special commands dialog every time.

I like MUSHClient so much I'm abandoning my previous client and I'm converting all my walks and scripts to it even if it is quite a bit of work. If the above options were available I could just cut and paste :)

So you basically want everything added to the automap - at times? You could do this easily enough with an alias, see:

What you would do is make an alias that matches everything (eg. "*") and call AddToMapper to add the alias text to the auto-map sequence.

Then make another alias or two to turn the first one on or off.

It might need a bit of tweaking to handle reverse directions but in principle should be easy enough.

Thanks, I managed to make that work (well enough).
