For the record, I am necro-posting to point out that this is now possible with the JSON map file format functions:

• saveJsonMap(...)
• loadJsonMap(...)

as that format is human and computer readable...

Well there are Lua functions that will retrieve the existing room name and allow you to change it to something else. See:

• getRoomName(roomID)
• setRoomName(roomID, "newName")

Also as a hand-editing tool we have recently added a (complete) JSON map exporter/importer to the Mudlet core functionality - it is certainly already present in the latest release version 4.11.2 so you can use it to hand edit a map if you need to... (The XML importer by comparison is limited and the...

So it looks like support for "script: " is not actually built-in to mudlet itself but is down to the mapper script to process it. Yep - it is a deceptive tool-tip which actually only ties up with the external generic mapper - you can put anything as the special exit name/command (unfortun...

Technically the output: lua getAreaRooms(7) { 67, 64, 65, 63, [0] = 66 } is actually: lua getAreaRooms(7) { [1] = 67, [2] = 64, [3] = 65, [4] = 63, [0] = 66 } The table printing code assumes that when the indexes are monotonically incrementing from 1 it is a Lua list/indexed table and suppresses the...

You can also pass the profile name with the event so you can tell which event the profile came from. Actually the raiseGlobalEvent(...) does that automagically - it always appends the sending profile name to the end of the list of arguments that the user (script/package-writer) gives to the functio...

TinTin++ does this as well - normal and special exits are handled quite similarly - it is just that the name i.e. "e" is directly mapped to the "e" command inherently - but it can be changed there (you can get really confused if you swap the commands with the one for the opposite...

To pan the map in KDE on Linux (and FreeBSD BTW) try <Alt>+<Ctrl>+mouse move... Mudlet doesn't pick up on the extra <Ctrl> modifier but the DE does and ignores the <Alt> one leaving the mouse movement to be used by Mudlet!

There was a bug in Mudlet 4.11.0 (but not in the previous 4.10.x versions) in the generation of the Boost Graph Library graph that Mudlet needs for pathfinding and it particular concerned locked special exits - it might be that in correcting that bug (done by 4.11.1) it takes longer to produce a val...

@kerhuso Welcome back - it has been a while since you joined us (2011!)- even before my time.
