It is an automapper snippet using recursive function calling.

Beside automapping the area, It maps the room sector types also which makes for a colorful detailed map.

I would love to have someone(s) test it for me and give input on it as well as any other possible ideas to enhance it.

I originally wrote it in FUSS 1.6 and set it up in 1.7
version without any problems.

I plan to rewrite it for fuss 1.8 to clean the code up a lot and because I am bored.

Anyone willing to take a look at it?

Do you have a place to post the snippet? (You could use the paste bin at MudBytes, for instance.) That way, you could get lots of people to look at it and provide opinions. I don't really have time to test something in detail unfortunately but I'd be happy to read through some code.

For anyone interested, its just a quick drop in for FUSS 1.6 and 1.7, maybe earlier versions. For standard smaug 1.4 or 1.8 or FUSS 1.8, it will require a bit of reworking... probably nothing too intense.

Here are the appropriate steps to add it to FUSS 1.6/7:

add to mud.h the following:

Add it near some other typedef you see or in a good organizational spot:

typedef char * maptype [35][35] ;  //mapping system   carlin oct/6/06
								   //produces a map size 9x9

=======================================================

Search for ROOM_LAWFUL and replace it with ROOM_NOMAP - smaugfuss1.7 does not use ROOM_LAWFUL except the declaration, not needed.

ROOM_NOMAP

=======================================================

add these function declarations below text /* act_move.c */ in mud.h


void decode_mchar args ( ( char * page_buf ) );
void add_mcolor args ( ( char * page_buf, int which, char color ) );
void add_mcolorb args ( ( char * page_buf, int which, char color ) );
void add_scolor args ( ( char * page_buf, int which, char color ) );
void plot_map args ( ( CHAR_DATA * ch, int vnum, int xcoord, int ycoord, int tier, int * plotted, char * map [35][35]) );

=======================================================

find EX_ISDOOR and add this #define apropriately to the bottom of the EX_ list.


#define EX_NOMAP          BV29

and change increment the max of exit types on the line right below the one you change.

=======================================================

find statement "DECLARE_DO_FUN( do_makewizlist );" - add this below that line:


DECLARE_DO_FUN( do_map );

add the following to build.c

1 or 2 pages down into the file, find where it says "char *const r_flags[] = {" make sure you place it in this list in the same order you placed it in the #define statement in the previous step. for instance, if you stuck it at the very end of the ROOM_ list, put the following in the verly last spot in the room_flags[] array.

"nomap"

ie:


char *const r_flags[] = {
   "dark", "death", "nomob", "indoors", "lawful", "neutral", "chaotic",
   "nomagic", "tunnel", "private", "safe", "solitary", "petshop", "norecall",
   "donation", "nodropall", "silence", "logspeech", "nodrop", "clanstoreroom",
   "nosummon", "noastral", "teleport", "teleshowdesc", "nofloor",
   "nosupplicate", "arena", "nomissile", "r4", "r5", "prototype", "dnd", "bfs_mark", "nomap"
};

1 or 2 pages down into the file, find where it says "char *const ex_flags[] = {" make sure you place it in this list in the same order you placed it in the #define statement in the previous step. for instance, if you stuck it at the very end of the EX_ list, put the following in the very last spot in the ex_flags[] array.

"nomap"

ie:


char *const ex_flags[] = {
   "isdoor", "closed", "locked", "secret", "swim", "pickproof", "fly", "climb",
   "dig", "eatkey", "nopassdoor", "hidden", "passage", "portal", "r1", "r2",
   "can_climb", "can_enter", "can_leave", "auto", "noflee", "searchable",
   "bashed", "bashproof", "nomob", "window", "can_look", "isbolt", "bolted", "nomap"
};

if NEEDED, dont forget to add the following to tables.c

ADD to TABLES.C - find statement " return do_makewizlist; " - add this below that line:


         if( !str_cmp( name, "do_map" ) )
            return do_map;

ADD to TABLES.C - find statement " return "do_makewizlist"; " - add this below that line:


   if( skill == do_map )
      return "do_map";

do a clean make. the code may look a bit sloppy but this is my first "project" coding in C/C++ and so my objective was to just make it work.

Any suggestions would much appreciated.

Thanks

i am working on getting screenshots of the map in use... be a few minutes

edit:

http://ss-pb.com/screens.html

is the page you can see the screenprints on. the thumbs are in jpg but the actual screenshot is in bmp to reserve the colors since paint likes to blend things together and make the colors more dull when converting bmp to jpg.

If you want to compare your code to something similar, there's a map snippet that does almost the same thing (except it doesn't have lines to connect rooms).

Are you talking about the afkmapper? or another mapper?

A while ago I looked everywhere(hours on google) for a high quality visually appealing, nice mapper but could never find one.

Where can I get info on the one you're talking about?
I'd love to take a look.

It's not the overworld with AFKMUD. I'll see if I can remember where I got it, although I have made heavy modifications to it.

This is how mine looks:

I like they way it looks like a real map would look. I'd love to get a hold of a legend for it so I can understand it better. what is the address for your mud? It does look awsome. The green is a little intense but overall it looks like a real map. Does each spot plottd on the map represent a squre you can visit? Is it all mapped on the fly? or do you have to build a map when the area is being built?

I think the purpose of your map is very different from the purpose of mine.

Yours is to look as real as a text map can look(good job too) and give a general idea of the layout of the area. You can see a much larger area mapped out on your map than on mine(i believe).

Mine is more noob friendly imo as in you can tell at first glance what the majority of it means and the exact paths you can take(again at first glance) while giving you a feel for exactly what you're standing on without having to read the description.
