Looking for a random room generator, or map maker, for LPmuds. Anything will do, as long as it's based off of an LP codebase, I can rewrite it.

The Lima mudlib (obtainable here) contains a couple of examples, generating virtual rooms from a map and for a random labyrinth.

By random room generator, do you mean a random area (maze/dungeon etc) generator, or something that creates room descriptions?

I code on Shatterered World, which built the SWLPC driver (http://sourceforge.net/projects/swlpc).

I have coded an 'area generator' for it that takes an ASCII map that looks like:

*-*-* P
\ |
D-D-D

And creates the virtual rooms, where you can set different descriptions based on the letter used and it sets the exits accordingly. The descriptions can also be semi-random by having elements within them randomly (seeded) selected from a pre-determined list, so there's some variety.

If that's what you're looking for, let me know. If not, please explain further what you're looking for. :)

Whoops, my map didn't work. But basically it's a standard ASCII MAP where the rooms (letters) are joined by | - / \ lines. :)
