Looking for a mapper to Ishar
Posted: Sun Oct 14, 2018 10:26 pm
Hi Mudlet,
Thanks all for such a nice contribution to the mud space with the mudlet project. I don't have the faintest idea how many hours you all have devoted to this project.
I just thought I would post to see if there are any other Ishar players, and maybe catalyze an effort to get a mapper going for that mud. Ishar is a classic, I have over 3,000 rooms mapped in CMUD over several years, but the mapper is just too unreliable, I've had to resort to creating rooms manually, and am looking for a more modern looking interface that can really be automated. I know a little python, but I'm new to lua.
I have downloaded the IRE mapper, and the generic mapper, and the hybrid mapper for Akabar, but all seem to need a little tweaking, or maybe I'm not using them correctly. I am new :/. I've loaded the mapper as a module, and started via "mc", but it doesn't seem to generate new rooms when I move.
I think Ishar should be a pretty easy case (ishar [dot]com port 23). The rooms obey a nice easy syntax with every thing on separate lines; name (not always unique), description (mostly unique but not always), exits in the prompt; usually one or two letters; there are a few portals, and in/out exits.
Typical example:
Reception
Polished brass lanterns give this room a cheery glow. A desk rests against
the eastern wall, covered with books and accounts, and a large picture on the
opposite wall affords a view of a wrecked ship lying on a beach, its hull
smashed in. An open window behind the desk allows the sounds of the street to
filter up from below.
Drake the old pirate reaches for the guest book.

If anyone is interested in assisting, that would be awesome.
