Ok...well...here's something I came up with last night so that you can
have maps in rooms:
--------------------------
_mudconfig defUmac map = 
if (!$actor.loc.maploc) {
     $tmploc = $actor.loc;
} else {
     $tmploc = $actor.loc.maploc;
};
$check = listcnt($tmploc.maplines);
if ($check <1) {
     echo("Sorry, no map available for this location");
     return;
};
echo("You are in: " + $tmploc.nam);
foreach $lin in ($tmploc.maplines) {
     echo($tmploc.("mapline" + str($lin)));
};

_mudconfig privmac map sysobj

---------------------------
It lets you store maps elsewhere, which is also handy when you have a number of
rooms sharing a map, as opposed to having an actual map in each room (which is
were it looks originally.)
properties are stored as so:
lst maplines = 1;2;3;4;
str mapline1 = --------
str mapline2 = |       |
str mapline3 = |       |
str mapline4 = --------


enjoy!
(I also have a map object that I use for adding in maps, it just keeps a
list of how
many  lines to the map there are, then appends stuff to that list.  Do
people have
any ideas about other commands that might be handy? Like to remove ones? Would
you just have it remove the last thing you added?)
