This latest push includes Medievia specific code to support our installer-free distribution. I probably should have started a new renamed branch, will do that next time.. since the path forward for MMCP to be included will be in Lua eventually

Right, and getting Medievia listed by default is just a matter of putting together a decent, minimum experience for the players.

Working on this as well. Current hangups are getting the mapper working and GMCP. I have the mapper mostly working currently however the newbie area is very large with many rooms having the same name so the mapper gets sometimes confused when walking around in a loop and reconnecting the tail end back to an existing mapped room. Editing this to be correct is very tedious.
GMCP is another issue... I have not gotten any acknowledgement from our admin after mentioning it several times. But I will continue to press the issue.

[vadi2]

In the case of same named rooms and same exits, without any identifying information (like a vnum or a hash) one of the ways of getting of getting it fixed would be to go manual and use the visual editor or aliases. It would be very hard for automation to tell one thing apart from the other without outside knowledge.

[jmckisson]

This is what I've resorted to trying.. always ran into a snag that somehow confused the mapper regarding which room I am in, and I can't seem to recover after that. I'll take a deeper look soon I am currently strung out between several projects sigh

[vadi2]

Also try using clear moves when things are going wrong, because in case you try to move, fail, and you haven't created a trigger to catch the failed move, the mapper's tracking will be knocked off course.
