Mapper question

Can someone post this as a new topic? When I try I am getting an SQL error.

My first client was MUSHclient, and still believe it is the most powerful client available.. the only thing lacking is the map. I've tried to get the map plugin working (I actually play T2T MUD), but compared the CMUD map for editing/running I just can't get it up to standard.

So here is my idea, I've made a script in CMUD that generates directions from A to B and then converts them into whatever I desire (at the moment, MUD recognized directions for helping out people).

Is there a way I can use MUSH to send a command to CMUD and return the above string?

Once I have made that initial link, I believe I will be able to sync rooms, travel and follow progress on the CMUD map whilst it is in offline mode. And then position the CMUD map within my MUSH GUI (of miniwindows etc..)

Am I wasting my time trying to dig into this? I have only a limited knowledge of coding (although recently made my first C# program from getting data off my MUD and converting it into a form generated table through APIs).

Thanks in advance, I hope there is a way to make this work so I can come back to MUSHclient!

Please copy and paste the SQL error so I can fix it.

Hmm no error now, I think it was something to do with my adblocker.

Back on subject, I've made a little script that sends a command to Notepad, CMUD then grabs that, runs a conversion and then updates the notepad file, finally the MUSH then grabs that converted string and sends it to the MUD. It works when I do all the steps in slow time, but turning it into a smooth feature is still a long way off.

I don't know enough about CMud to know if that can be done, and if so, how to do it.

If you can get at it through OLE (object model) it might be possible.
