I really like the way Mushclient is developing, the mapper added in version 3.03 has me looking at this page a lot more to look for updates. I really hope that the mapper will recognize my aliases in the future so I can use an alias in the middle of mapping and it will record all the moves I make in the alias.
Greetings,

Yes, the mapper will respond to aliases, keypad walking, or any other way that you walk around (eg. from instructions in a script).
How it works basically, is that just as a command is being sent to the MUD (however it originated, whether typed manually, an alias, or from the numeric keypad):
1. If mapping is turned on; and
2. The command is one of the directions: north, south, east, west, ne, nw, se, sw, up or down (and also n, s, e, w, u, d)
... then it is mapped.
Hello,
I think I figured out what went wrong, I usually put my aliases in this form:
Alias Mush
"do 5e,4s,pull lever,2u,thank Nick for his wonderfull software,6e"
and when I used the Mush alias... nothing would happen in my mapper. However I have converted a few of my aliases to this form:
Alias Mush
"5e 4s (pull lever) 2u (thank Nick for his wonderfull software) 6e"
And then it worked out.
I suppose I should get working and get code those aliases better
Also, a bit out of topic for this heading (mapper), but I don't want to spam the board, I wondered if it could be possible to rename a variable, because I was beginning to work with them, and I found out they were getting a mess pretty soon and I had to remake every one of them even though I only wanted to change the name of the variable and not its contents.
Greetings

You can't rename variables at present, as they are stored "keyed" by the name, so they can be quickly located in a script.
To rename it you really need to copy the contents, then delete the old one, create a new one, and paste the contents back in.
I suppose MUSHclient could do that "behind the scenes" if you request to rename a variable, so I have added that to the list of suggestions for a future version.
