parsing parse interpreter interpreting~
^gPARSING - ^bHow commands are interpreted
^C
One of the things that makes Crimson2 a little nicer than your run of the mill
mud is a universal command parser. What does this mean in English? Namely that
all the shortcuts/examples below work for every command in the game, no
exceptions. One thing you should know is that several words are ignored
entirely, namely at, in, inside, from, the, of, to, etc. etc. As such: ^glook
at cryogen ^Cis the same as ^glook cryogen ^Cto the parser. In fact ^glook the
at in cryogen from inside ^Cis the same as ^glook cryogen ^Cto the parser.....

Anyways, the easiest way to understand how it works is by way of example, so
heres a few examples.

e.g. ^gget bread      - ^bGet the bread
     ^gget 2.bread    - ^bGet the second bread
     ^gget 3rd bread  - ^bGet the third bread
     ^gget br         - ^bGet the first thing that starts with ^gbr
     ^gget all        - ^bGet everything you can
     ^gge all.bread   - ^bGet all the bread
     ^gge all bread   - ^bGet all the bread
     ^gge 2 bread     - ^bGet 2 bread
     ^gge 2 3.bread   - ^bGet 2 bread, starting with the 3rd one

north south east west up down moving movement~
^GNORTH SOUTH EAST WEST UP ^bor ^gDOWN - ^bmove in this direction
^C
These are your basic move around the mud type commands. Note that to move you
must have enough movement points left. If you run out of movement points dont
panic, simply wait a few minutes and you'll become less tired.

#
go~
^gGO - ^bGo through an exit, typically the GO is unnecessary

       scan n

hit kill shoot~
^gKILL - ^bTry to kill that pesky critter
^C
You meanie you... Actually killing things is generally a good idea. (Unless
of course they're tougher than you are) When you kill a creature in the game
you gain experience points based on their toughness relative to you. (Another
reason grouping is a good idea ie jointly you can kill tougher creatures). You
can guesstimate their relative toughness by using the consider command.

^rSEE ALSO: ^gCONSIDER FLEE CONCENTRATE
~
#
group~
^gGROUP - ^bAdd and remove people from your group
^C
This command is used to add and remove followers from your group. People in a
group share experience from kills. Frankly, grouping is a Good Idea. Note:
before you can group someone they *MUST* start following you first.
e.g.
  ^ggroup              - Look at your group status
  ^ggroup cryogen      - Add cryogen to your group
  ^ggroup cryogen      - Changed our mind, ditch that loser cryogen

#
follow~
^gFOLLOW - ^bStart following someone
^C
This allows you to start following another creature in the game. Typically it
is used when you are forming up a group. (There's safety in numbers). When you
are following someone you will automatically move whenever they do. If you try
to follow someone who is themselves following another person you will instead
end of following their leader as well.
e.g.
  ^gfollow cryogen     - start following cryogen
  ^gfollow <yourname>  - follow yourself ie stop following other people

#
concentrate~
^gCONCENTRATE - ^bUse a Psionic ability
^C

^rSEE ALSO: ^gPRACTICE
~
#
practice~
^gPRACTICE - ^bImprove your skill with this ability.
^C
Before you can practice a skill you must first locate someone who can teach
that skill to you. Unless a trainer is present you can only inspect your
current skills.
e.g.
  ^gpractice        - display the skill categories you can practice skills in
  ^gpractice *laser - display all the laser skills you can practice
  ^gpracice flee    - improve your skill at fleeing. (trainer must be present)
^C
Reading the skill display:
^y*Skill(^Y999^y)*^g      - You are as good as you can be at this
^r*Skill(0/999)*^g    - You cannot practice this skill at this trainer
^gSkill(^w0/999^g)[1]   - You can practice this skill here up to max.
^CSkill(^p0/*999^C)[1]^g  - You can practice this skill here but not up to max.

alias~
^gALIAS - ^bList aliases or Create an alias
^C
What is an alias you ask? Aliases are shortcuts to commonly used commands.
For example, you might find that you are using the psionic power ghost fist
rather frequently so you might create an alias with:
alias gf concentrate ghostfist

This way you could just do something like:
gf <target>

and save yourself some typing. The Crimson2 server also understands variables
(ie %1 %2 etc) and can execute multiple commands separated by ";". Let us say
that you are frequently getting a bread out of your bag and eating it:
alias eb get bread bag; eat bread

Now what if you wanted to keep both bread and meat in the bag you could:
alias ebm get %1 bag; eat %1

and then type
"ebm meat" or "ebm bread"

c4snoop~
^Gc4snoop - snoop the C4 execution of an OBJ/MOB/WLD/Area
^C
This is mainly a debugging tool for C4 coders and area builders.
It does not show you a complete C4 execution history, but rather
just reports what functions were called and with what results.

Type "c4snoop <thing>" to begin c4snooping <thing>. World and
area scripts are currently un-snoopable. Furthermore, not that
if you 1) c4snoop an object, and then 2) switch to some other
mob, then you WILL NOT get c4snoop messages because they are
BEING SENT TO YOUR REAL BODY. This is not really a bug, but rather
more of a limitation of the code structure.
