Thanks to all who posted here! I got it all working together last night. Combining a trigger to parse the room vnum and a script, it's easy to follow the generated rom maps parsed from .are files. Just a couple more little issues (like rooms stacked on top of each other) and I'll release the source ...

Since I have all of the .are files I figured I'd parse them and lift them up to json or xml, which is done. I'll release the source code if anyone else is parsi...
