J.R.R. Tolkien fantasy world, running since 1991.

Q:
How do i report MMapper bug or feature request?
A:
Preffered way how to report bug or feature request is to use Help/Report Bug feature
directly from MMapper. Other way is to send email to author. In subject just include
"MMapper report" and in text body description of your problem. Sometimes it would be very
helpfull to include some screenshots and data file with problematic part. Please use
gzip or zip to pack such additional data.
Q:
When i map in offline mapping mode, all created rooms have "?" mark in the center.
A:
MMapper works in offline mode, but in this mode it can't fill some of MUME specific
informations in it's room data structure. For example exits and terrain informations.
These informations are updated, when room marked with "?" are visited by character in
online play or edit mode.
Q:
What are parser options in preferrences dialogs for?
A:
Parser is used to allow 'dynamic programming' of MMapper.
Up to now, we have two command parsers, one descriptions parser, and one parser for
recognition special character move (in fog or blinded ...).
Command parser expressions
allows MMapper to recognize, if character move was canceled or forced by MUD server. For
example if you stay with youd character on river and MMapper receives
"You are borne by strong current ...", it searches through all parser expressions and
finds one that matches in move force patterns. It says to MMapper that character moved in
unknown direction, and it tries to synchronize.
Room descriptions are filtered by room
description filter patterns, to filter all possible 'moveable' object out of descriptions.
Because next time this 'moveable' object will not probably be present in room and it can
confuse room comparsion algorithm.
It is neccessary to keep all parser settings updated!
