| Hi,
This is a long shot, but has anyone had a go at either converting Mudlet's map.dat format into something the MUSH generic mapper can use, or has written an adapter in Lua for that file type to read it directly?
I admit I haven't delved into the gory details of Mudlet's format yet - I know its some kind of serialized binary, so it's a little piece of work to unserialize it then convert it to json or something lua can read.
The reason I ask is that I have a humoungous map with 1000's of rooms which would be great to read into the generic mapper.
Thank you,
Woody. | | Top |

| Apparently there is a function to output a JSON format map file.
I don’t know what that format looks like, hopefully it is self-explanatory.
Once you have that you could load that into MUSHclient - it has a plugin that reads JSON.
The MUSHclient mapper does not, per se, have a file format. It expects the surrounding plugin to provide that. Some details here.

| Most excellent, Nick, thank you!
That's a new Mudlet function, I'd not noticed it in their API before.
Now I've got a really good starting point for converting the mapping functions over.
Cheers,
