MAP MAPPING MAPS

If you want a map of a portion of MUME, you have to draw it yourself. We want to encourage people to explore the game. A few
pre-drawn maps of trivial areas (such as Bree, the Shire) exist in ASCII and can be bought at a local grocery or travellers
shop.

The MAP command is used to view your nearby surrounding areas. Several options exist in order to view specific things:

MAP ROOMS:    Displays your surroundings, only works with good visibility.
MAP WEATHER:  Displays the nearby weather, see HELP WEATHER for details.
MAP FOG:      Shows fog in the nearby zones.

These maps have the following key:

  A  Ingrove                      T  Tharbad
  B  Bree                         W  Troll Warrens
  C  Caras Galadhon               X  Your current location
  D  Dwarven Homes                Z  Zaugurz Outpost
  E  Edoras                       
  F  Fornost                      %  Swamps
  G  The Grey Havens              *  Forest
  H  Helm's Deep                  :  Plains, Fields
  I  Isengard                     =  Bridge
  M  Moria                        ?  Zone under construction
  N  Dol Guldur                   ^  Mountains
  O  Orc Caves                    ~  Hills
  R  Rivendell                    a  The Anduin

MAP DARKNESS: Shows the influence of Sauron in nearby zones.

This map has the following key:

  +   Good zone. Sauron's influence is actively repelled
  .   Neutral zone
  -   Evil zone. Sauron's minions are most often encountered here
  =   Zone under the influence of Sauron's Darkness (treated as
      an evil zone, until the darkness dissolves)

Notes:

 * All map commands may be abbreviated.

 * The GLOBAL option can be used in all commands except MAP ROOMS to view the entire map of Arda for the specified command.

Examples:

> map r       Map rooms.
> map g d     Shows a global map of Sauron's influence.
> map g w     Shows a global map of the weather on Arda.

There are also external client applications (called 'mapper') that can help you in creating maps. HELP MAPPERS and RULES MAPPERS
for further details.
