COMPASS

Imported from the game’s own help, and only staff can change it — a help file that quietly stops matching the game reads as authoritative and is wrong. If it has changed in game, send the new text through the contact form and somebody will paste it in.

| Another function of a scouter is the ability to use its readout as a |
| sort of computerized map of the area. This will show you a visual    |
| readout of what directions have exits, as well as any doors you      |
| might be able to see. Locked doors will show up as '#' signs on the  |
| map, while closed doors show as '*'. Aggressive mobs will show up as |
| '@' signs on the map - be careful! Players show as '@', while        |
| non-aggressive mobs show as '@' - be sure to note the difference     |
| between the three!                                                   |

| Your enhanced compass will be automatically set in the starting      |
| area. You can configure it using the config command, see             |
| 'help config' for more information.                                  |

| This feature can be tweaked for mobile users, see 'help mobile' for  |
| more information.                                                    |

  We now also offer a SUPERMAP - config +supermap to use it.
  The SUPERMAP requires use of UTF-8 characters in some places - any
  modern mud client should have this option in their settings.
