How to Fix "Mudlet does not know where you are at the moment"

[lorddevi]

Hello,

I'm struggling with something probably really simple. I've gone through the wiki, the 'map help' commands, and some youtube videos but can't figure out how to tell Mudlet what room I am in.

I was trying to learn the mapping system, and ended up deleting a room my character was in. After that, the map disappeared and I could find no way to update the mapper to tell it what room I was in.

There is a 'map.currentRoom' variable I see in the help files, but I'm not sure how to make use of that to remedy my situation.

Anyone able to help?

Using the lua "alias" which we include in every "profile" by default you should be able to get the map back by typing lua centerview(###) where ### is the room ID number for a room (that you have not deleted!) As you have discovered deleting the room you are in means that Mudlet doesn't know where to draw you in the map. If you are playing a game with a mapper package installed (we include one by default) it is possible that you might be able to move to an adjacent room in the map and then it will recognise where you are and redraw the map with you in that other room. If you are creating a map and the mapper has accidentally got confused and put in a duplicate room in which you were standing when you deleted it then it may be enough to send the equivalent to look to the game so that it resents the details about the room again and then the mapper package can reposition you back in the older copy of the room...
