A creator (sometimes also called a wizard or wiz) is a user on the mud that has access to special commands that allow for the manipulation of game data. A creator can, with some restrictions, edit files, modify stats, create new rooms, objects, and NPC's. They, like admins, are mud staff and share the responsibility of improving and enhancing it. If you are a new creator, take the time to get familiar with how the mud works. You have your very own workroom. To go to it, type: home There you can open your chest and get a standard set of creator tools (sometimes also called wiztoys) and get a sense for how things work. Remember that although you have fantastic, superhuman powers, you must use them responsibly. You have, for example, the zap command, which lets you kill almost anything instantly. Having the command, however, is not permission to run through the mud zapping every mob you see. Talk to your admin about what is ok and not ok. If you are new to this kind of mud, read the Player's Handbook. If you dont have one on you, type: clone /domains/default/obj/handbook read chapter 1 in handbook read chapter 2 in handbook And so on. Once you've read the handbook, read over the Creator FAQ at http://dead-souls.net/ds-creator-faq.html and when you feel ready to start using your Creator powers, start reading the Creator's Manual. Contributing to a mud can be hard work, and if you've never done it before, it'll be a steep learning curve. However, remember that this mud has tons of documentation, and this kind of mud is one of the easiest for newcomers. Just relax, take your time, and don't get stressed.
