Correct, Drathys.

So is there a public Lusternia IMap file that works with LMTS? I am going to try making a lua system for lusty...

None for free that I know of right now.

Lusternia's in-game mapper works well enough for my purposes. If you want to go LMTS mapper, there is one with the package that I downloaded from sourceforge, but it's probably out of date.

Shameless plug for the Sham map. 20 cr gets you absolutely every single area. So sexy it hurts.

Although I get lost with it in the Seas... *sniffle*

Have to have an alias to use the IG mapper when you are on Really Terrible Places (Reads: Earth, Starry Sea, Inner Sea, etc).

Hrm...
Or someone could make a new mapper protocol to work with the IG mapper through lua. I wonder if the room number is sent by ACTP. I doubt it, but there are other ways to skin a cat...

It is not, I asked for better room number support to be added (an option to turn it on to be displayed next to the room name would be best) when the in game map support was added but nothing happened.

The best way to work around it would be to have your system issue the map command, gag out all of the output, and just grab the room number. If you did this then you could use it to update your location on your own map. I have yet to bother doing this though as there are only a few areas that would require it and they are all small enough that in general I can use the in game map.

Go for it champ.

I'm sure it'd be worth all the time it'd take for a total of 4 areas.

I wish the VNUMs were sent with the room ATCP messages...

Considering I'd be making my own mapper from the ground up anyway and it would be a VERY reliable way to track location, it's well worth the time. Reliability is everything and if you're going to do something, do it right the first time.

Well I look forward to this free offering that will help us, as a community, graduate from the tyranny of paying for things.

Horse didn't lich, less beating on it.

In the beginning nerds created the computer and the punchcard.
And the code was without form, and void; and businessmen were upon it like starving vultures. And the Spirit of Information writhed beneath the farce of the vultures.
And Stallman said, Let it be free: and there was GNU.
And the Coders saw the light, that it was good: and they divided the bugs from the source.


Considering that IMTS and LMTS are both under the GNU GPL, it's pretty ironic for you to be harping me about wanting to distribute modifiable things for free in a thread on a subforum devoted to working with them.

Edit-
That's not a bad way to go with it. I'm only concerned about the VNUM in that mapper, really. I'll need to look at it more.

I was wondering if anyone had an updated version of this that includes Hallifax, I'd pay for a copy if need be. Thanks!

As it happens, I am working on getting my IMap back up to date, at which point I will begin selling it again.

Since we have access to the XML, it would be good for someone to just make an XML-to-IMap converter. I'm using a SQLite database form of the map data now, converted from the XML, and it really does save a lot of headaches.

If you use mudlet, I'm pretty sure the mudlet mapper pulls from the xml files.
