Hi there, quick question: how can i stop showing the room name in the status bar?

Or how can i update the status bar with the room name if I change the alias for the room?

I have been looking at that recently. The quick answer is like this:

request (UpdateLocation, "My Room")

This is done in OnEnterRoom, and I wonder if it would be useful for OnEnterRoom to call a function to get the string to be displayed. Authors can then write their own function to display what the want on the status bar (for example, a list of available exits, or nothing at all).

For your first question, you can get rid of the name in the status bar with:

  request (Hide, "Location")
