So my MUD changed room numbers from decimal format to hexadecimal. Well, the room numbers now are so long that, when I display them in my room name line on the compass, it now takes up two lines of space. So now I want to create a hyperlink attached to the name of the room. So instead of having something like

 Lobby of the Ivory Tower                                   A438B5509ED56F63FAAC70D0EA84B68C11945B36 [  -1,  -1] -      N      -
(------------------------------------------------------------------------------) W <-#-(M)---> E
                                                                                 -      #      -

I'd have something like

 Lobby of the Ivory Tower                                [  -1,  -1] -      N      -
(------------------------------------------------------------------) W <-#-(M)---> E
                                                                     -      #      -

where the underlined portion is a link to mapper goto <room number>.

How might I do this?

I wouldn't do it in OnPluginPacketReceived. Just make a trigger to match that line, omit it, then redisplay the parts you want, including using the Hyperlink function to hyperlink parts of it.

Actually, they switched the room numbers back to their originals, so I don't have to do anything right now.
