MAKEROOM

Syntax: #MAKE direction [name] [description]

Create a new room on the map in the specified direction. The Name and Description of the new room can be specified optionally.

If no arguments are given, the mapper will create a room in the direction currently on the top of the mapper command queue and fill in the room name, desc, exits with the best information that it has captured so far for the room. This can be used to force the mapper to create a room when it gets stuck.

The "direction" argument can contain a string list to create a room in a non-standard direction. The first element of the list is the "exit command" used to enter the new room. The second element of the list is the map direction to create the room. The optional third element is the "exit command" of the returning link. If omitted, the link command of the returning link is set to the same exit command as the link itself.

#MAKE "enter|e|exit" {Closet} {You are in a dark closet}

Creates a new room to the "east" of the current room. The command to enter this room is "enter". The command for the return link is "exit".
