I'm trying to learn certains zones in the mud I play..and I tried using the auto-mapper, and I enter the spams I've found and it works fine, but I was wondering if there's any way I can view the spams (2n,2e,n,e) that I entered, without having to press ctrl+alt+m..I noticed that while I'm doing the walking around, on the very bottom it shows the spam directions, but after a few seconds it goes away..is there any way to make the spams stay on the very bottom of the screen?
Thanks in advance.

I see what you mean. This is a bug. After about 5 seconds the "status line" logic has replaced the mapping information with "Ready". I'll fix that up in the next version.

I take back what I said. It was by design that the information produced by the mapper is replaced after 5 seconds by the status line (which may have important information in it about your hit points etc.).

However to do what you want, add this timer:


<timers>
  <timer enabled="y" 
         second="2.00"    
         send_to="12"
>
  <send>
SetStatus ("Mapper: " .. 
                   GetMappingString ())
</send>

  </timer>
</timers>



What that will do is make the status line the current mapper output, thus effectively keeping it there indefinitely.
