The above commands are used to expand the game world. The original code
it is based on was written by Surreality and installed in The Isles by Locke.
It was then converted to work with Envy by Jason Dinkel.
Inside an editor, typing COMMANDS lists working commands and ? gives
help. AEDIT and REDIT default to the current area or room. EDIT ROOM RESET
resets the current room. Most commands with no arguments display syntax.

RESET <number> DELETE - delete a reset
RESET alone will display the resets in the current room. The <number> will
be displayed with this list. Typing ? WEAR-LOC will list possible locations
that an object can be loaded to. The [<max #>] is the maximum number of
mobiles allowed in this room and will default to 1 if no number is entered.
For resets to be successful make sure that you add them in a logical order.
For example, if you are equipping a mobile, don't load a container in the
room and fill it with some objects and then continue equipping the mobile.
It is likely that resets will backfire if they are not carefully entered.
If you wish to reset the room then use EDIT ROOM RESET.

0 MPEDIT~
Syntax: mpedit <vnum> [#num] - Enters the mobprog editor for the selected
mobile. If a prog-num is specified (#num)
and the mobile has that many rograms, you
will edit that program, otherwise you will
be editing the first mobprog.
Syntax: mpedit create <vnum> [svnum] -
Creates a mob-program for mobile <vnum>
if that mobile currently has no mobprogs. If
[svnum] is specified, the mob-programs from
the mob 'svnum' will be copied to <vnum>.
The MPEDITor works by letting you edit ONE mob-program at a time. The way you
invoke the MPEDIT command determines which program you'll be editing. If the
mobile has more than one program and you want, for example, to edit the third,
you would type:
EDIT MPROG <mob-vnum> 3
If you don't supply the program number (3 in this case) you will automatically
be entered into the mobprog editor for the first program. If no programs exist
for the given mobile you will be informed and will have to use the 'EDIT MPROG
create' invocation.
* Setting the Type of the Mob Program
This is done by simply typing the name of the program. The current mob-prog
types that are recognized are:
in_file_prog, act_prog, speech_prog, rand_prog, fight_prog, hitprcnt_prog,
death_prog, entry_prog, greet_prog, all_greet_prog, give_prog and bribe_prog.
* Supplying the Argument/Trigger to the Program
This is done by using the 'trigger' command and giving it an argument.
For example, if the program type is 'rand_prog' and you want to give it an
argument of 50 (a random program that will activate 50% of the time), you
will type:
trigger 50
If you have a speech_prog, for example, that you wish to be triggered on the
phrase 'can you help?', you will need to type:
trigger p can you help?
* Coding the Program Itself
To type the commands for the program, simply type 'program':
program
This will put you into an editor similar to the note editor and to the
'description' editor for rooms. Here you will type the code for the actual
mob-program content.
NOTE: You do NOT need to type any tildes in!
The editor will put those in the right places for you.
* Brief Summary of Commands
The following commands are available from within the MPROG editor:
<prog-type> - set the type of the currently edited mobprog.
trigger <value> - set the trigger for the currently edited mobprog.
program - enter the editor for the content of the mob-program.
add - add a mob program to the end of the current list of
programs.
create <vnum> [svnum] - creates a mobprog for mob vnum [optionally copies
from svnum].
show [#num,all] - display a mobprog. Without arguments will display
the current one.
delete [#num,all] - delete a mobprog. Without arguments will delete
the current one.
done - exits the mobprog editor and returns to normal play.
commands - prints a list of possible commands.
* Default Values
When creating or adding a mob program, it will have default values set for
the program type and for the trigger and content. These are necessary in
order to prevent crashes caused by empty mobprogs. These values can be
changed by just replacing them with the correct value (see above Summary
of Commands).
