Developer's automapping tool for Mudlet.

Problem

So, I had made a mapper for Oxidus, and in Oxidus I had made several virtual areas that were procedurally generated. And I needed a way to generate maps because, frankly, I had zero intention of manually crawling a 3D DFS maze consisting of 10,000 rooms.

Outcome

A Mudlet package that just walks through everything for you. Point it at a virtual area and it'll crawl the whole thing, tracking rooms via GMCP events and building out the map as it goes. Configurable shuffle and zoom, and it hooks into Mudlet's event system so it knows when to move and when to stop. 10,000 rooms? Go make coffee.
