101 SOCIETY SOCIETIES~
Societies are groups of mobiles which work together to achieve goals.
They are populations which grow and expand from a home base, and eventually
should be able to send out war parties, make new societies in different
places, and defend themselves, as well as making items for trade.
The way societies work is this: A society has a certain set of rooms
and mobs assigned to it, indexed by the start number for the rooms and
the mobs.
This means if you want to make a society, you should start with a block
of rooms and mobs which are unused by anything else and then start to
work from there.
Also, it has been coded so that all mob/object locations are saved
on reboot crash (theoretically!) so we can do this and have
it make sense as the state of the society will not change over
reboots (barring really bad crash...)
Societies are broken up into castes. There is one special caste,
called the children's caste which is where all of the mobs of this
society start. Then, once they are grown up (having passed through
several stages...the children become adults and randomly pick certain
caste paths as set by the maker. These things then advance within
their castes until there are too many of them, and they fight or leave.
But note that this also works with other kinds of societies, if you
have a society of mages and make apprentices the starting thing
and then have different mages of different elemental specialties,
this code should be able to handle it. Or novice priests who
then pick which god they will worship or something like that, or
novice drugdealers who then pick their drug of choice to sell :P.
There are a lot of things which can be set in societies, and the
editor is much like that of the spell editor or mob editor. The command
to use is SOCIEDIT create or SOCIEDIT (number) or SOCIEDIT (name).
The SOCIETY command lets you see information on societies without entering
the editor, but the format is the same.
See help SOCIEDIT
~
0 SOCIEDIT~
The Syntax to start this is SOCIEDIT create or SOCIEDIT <number> or
SOCIEDIT <name>. Type Society list to see a list of all societies.
Also, when you are making up the percentage chances for things to
advance within a society, remember that the society data is only
checked about once every 20 minutes for a possible update, but the
society should always remain the way it is over reboots and crashes,
so if noone gets to the society for months of rl gametime...it will
be a huge thing if you set the maxxes too high. I have no idea
what will make good numbers for these things really.
There are several commands you can use at the society level:
name <string> Sets the society name.
room_start <num> Sets the room near where all the mobs start.
num_rooms <num> This sets how many rooms beyond the room_start room
the mobs will pop in. When this number is 0, the
mobs only pop in the room_start room.
There are also flagnames you can set, like warlike, aggressive, spawning
xenophobic, explorer, builder, destructible..these
dont do much yet.
Most of the information gets done in the castes.
The following commands assume that the first part of your command is
caste <number> where <number> is a number from 0 to 9.
delete Delete this caste.
name Set the name of the caste
rank <number> Sets the number of ranks in the caste (up to 5)
NOTE THAT THE RANKS ARE NUMBERED 0 to 4 or
0 to 3 and not 1 to 5 or 1 to 4.
If the child fails all pick percents, then
it remains a child until the next check.
mob_start <number> This is the vnum of the first member of the caste.
The other types of things in the caste must
be the subsequent vnums (up to 4 more for a total
of 5 ranks).
maxpop <rank_number> <maxpop> This sets the max population of the given rank
in the current caste to this number.
advance or
adv_chance <rank_number> <number> If the rank_number is 0, this is the chance
that a given child which is growing up picks this
particular caste. If the number is from 1 up to
the number of ranks, then this chance is the
chance that a given member of a lower tier
advances to this tier during each check.
Someday there will be things set up so that different castes have
different "goals" as or some such thing like mining or selling or making
or guarding or whatever.
~
110 'HIDDEN IMPALE'~
This skill allows you to charge at your opponent with a polearm weapon
and land a devastating blow.
~
0 SHOOT~
You can now shoot enemies up to 4 rooms away, depending on
the bow you use. Each bow/arrow combination has different ranges,
aiming times, shots per quiver and damage multipliers. To shoot
someone, type shoot <name>.
Arrows and bows can be forged with the forge command, and the more
powerful the material these items are made of, the harder you
hit. The power of the hit is determined by the weaker of the two
materials, so you cannot just use a weak bow with strong arrows
or a weak arrow with a strong bow and expect to get much damage.
The high end damage is really high, but it is also hard to
keep forging these items over and over.
Arrows disappear after they are used, whether they hit the target, or not.
~
0 THROW~
[1m[34mSYNTAX: [0;37m throw <weapon> <victim>
[1m[34mSYNTAX: [0;37m throw <trap> <direction>
This skill allows you to throw a piercing weapon in your hand
at your victim at a considerable distance. Thrown objects will
end up in target's inventory.
You can also throw traps in an adjacent room. Once they explode,
they hit everyone.
[1m[36mNote:[0;37m You must be an adept at handling traps to throw them.
See Also: [1m[34mTRAP[0;37m
~
0 TRANSFORM~
[1m[31mYou lose *ALL* warpoints when you remort now so no more hoarding
and then getting 3 remorts at once!!!![0;37m
The transform command is what remorts you. To use it, you must
be in the remort chamber and type
transform <stat> <stat> <stat>
For remorts 1-6 you must pick 3 different stats to improve. Be
sure to spread out the stats so you don't run out of room
in them. After remort 6, you can put the stats wherever you want.
You gain 1 damroll per remort, and 1/2 skill, 1/2 proficiency, 1/2
natural casting level, and 1 spell, rounded up. Your spell power
also increases a little bit. You will also gain 1/2 hp per level
per remort over and above any consititution points you get.
See help RESTART if you are going for your 8th or higher remort.
Also, when you remort now, all of your warpoints are lost.
Double the current amount of warpoints you have goes into your
city or alignment bank, and 1x the number of warpoints you have
goes into your clan bank (if you are in a clan), so these points
are not wasted.
~
0 REMORT REMORTING~
[1m[31mYou lose *ALL* warpoints when you remort now so no more hoarding
them and then getting 3 remorts all at once!!!![0;37m
Remorting is a little different here. To remort, you must gain
warpoints, as well as levels.
Type remort costs to see the costs.
To remort, you must find the proper room for your alignment...which could
require a quest or killing something powerful. Once you get there,
type remort remort and you will be transported to the actual room of
remorting.
Once in that room, you must [1m[34mTRANSFORM[0;37m.
~
0 DONATE DONATION~
[1m[34mSYNTAX: [0;37m donate <amount> <warpoints|gold> <city|clan>
This will allow you to donate money or warpoints to your clan or alignment.
You must donate 100 gold or 100 warpoints at a time, once you donate,
it is not recoverable.
~
110 BANKSET SETBANK~
Syntax : setbank <good/evil/number> <amount> <warpoints/gold>
This admin command lets you set a bank by hand. Note that the first
argument will be good or evil or a number from 1-22 representing a
clan number.
~
101 CODE~
Drawtop draws a map of the area you are working on, taking up the top
half of the screen. Code draws a map of the area you are working on which
fills up the whole screen. If you are below 110, these can only be used
in your areas.
~
0 BUILDER BUILDING~
Building is a lot of work. Making the rooms and objects and mobiles
and descriptions is a lot of work. Please be serious about building
and understand that it takes a big committment to make an area.
Be sure you have the patience and endurance to carry a project
through.
Building basically consists of four parts.
You make a bunch of rooms and link them into a map, you make mobiles
or monsters which do things, you make objects which can be manipulated,
and then you possibly do other things. If you are a builder see the
following helpfiles:

0 LORE~
[1m[34mSYNTAX: [0;37m lore <spellname>
Usage of this skill will give you information on the ingredients necessary
to brew a particular potion. If that potion is not brewable, it will say so.
You will only see some of the ingredients each time you try to find out some
lore about the potion.
[1m[36mNote:[0;37m You must practice this skill fully for it to work.
~
0 ENCHANT~
The enchant skill lets you put extra affects on items. Here are the rules.
You type enchant <item> <location>. The modifier is set automatically.
The item must be in your inventory, and the item must be armor or a weapon.
The possible locations you can choose from are:
dam strength intelligence wisdom dexterity
hp move saving_throw kick_damage sneak_bonus
hide_bonus ac hit
The location must be spelled exactly as above: no abbreviations.
You must be a wizard, tinker, conjurer and mystic to enchant.
You must have 800+ hps.
You must learn enchant all the way up as much as possible.
The item cannot be enchanted already or you get hurt. The item will
go poof.
The item cannot have an affect of the type you are adding...
even if the first one is bad.
You must be level 60 to add stats or damroll.
Kick_damage must be added to legs, feet, knees, or ankles only.
Every enchantment has a cost in coins depending on the enchantment
type.
If the item already has a stat or damroll affect, the cost is doubled.
If the item is not body, head, arm, leg, or foot armor, the cost is doubled.
You need to have the money in the bank to enchant, but for now, you can
enchant from anywhere.
You must make a certain roll vs your enchantment skill.
If you fail, the item may be destroyed.
[1m[31mYOUR ITEMS ARE SOMETIMES DESTROYED FOR NO REASON AND
ENCHANT FAILS ABOUT 80 PERCENT OF THE TIME NO MATTER WHAT.[0;37m
The costs for enchantments range from 100k coins (not gold) for
stat/dam to 10k for hitroll or ac or saving throw (then
multiplied as above).
I just ran out of ideas for things to make you all run around and
collect to do this, so I got lazy and just made it cost gold ;)
~
0 BREW~
[1m[34mSYNTAX: [0;37m brew <potion>
This skill allows you to create potions which contain spells. Use of this
skill requires a mortar and a pestle.
To brew, you must hold the pestle in your hand, and have the
mortar in your inventory with the required herbs in it. Then
you may attempt brewing. If the mortar and pestle are powerful
enough, and if you have all of the ingredients in there for
brewing you will attempt to brew a potion. In case of a failure
you may lose some of the ingredients. If you successfully
brew a potion, you will use the mortar to hold it.
also FORGE
~
0 TAN TANNING~
[1m[34mSYNTAX: [0;37m tan <hide type> <item type>
This skill will allow you to work hides of dead animals into comfortable
clothing. In order to tan, you must be in a room with a tanning machine. You
must be holding a powerful enough needle and have the appropriate amount of
hides in your inventory. You then may attempt to create an item. If you fail,
some hides might be lost.

0 FORGE FORGING~
[1m[34mSYNTAX: [0;37m forge <mineral type> <item name>
With this skill you may forge tools, weapons and armor pieces from various
minerals. Each item costs different number of mineral chunks to forge,
ranging from 1 to about 30. You must be in a room with a forge. There must
be an anvil in the room and you must be holding a forging hammer. You must
drop the appropriate number of mineral chunks in the room. Then you may
attempt to forge an item. If you fail, some chunks might be lost.
In order to forge an item of certain type, you must have both anvil and
hammer of the same or higher mineral type. If you have a hammer and an
anvil of the same type, you may forge a hammer of the next type up. You
then may forge an anvil of the same type as a the hammer.
By forging a hammer or anvil of a higher power, you add another layer
of mineral on to your old hammer or anvil, therefore you end up with
only one hammer or anvil.

~
101 REDIT~
There are several main components to building a room.
First you type redit create <number> or <dir> dig <number> to make a new room.
That will put you in the new room.
You can type < to go back one room, or > to go foreward one room in redit.
Then you set the room name, sector type, other exits, and room desc.
There are also room flags, but all of these things are explained in more
detail in the help files that follow.
It is helpful to make aliases like
e.g., alias nn n dig
alias ss s dig
alias uu u dig
and so forth. It makes getting the rooms down much easier. Also, at this
point make alias aa asave changed. Be sure to type aa every once in a
while, and when you leave. If not, and the game crashes, then you lose all
your work that you have done since the last asave changed.
There are also two commands which let you (sort of) see what your area
will look like. They are drawtop and code. Be sure to check those out. The
way to get out of drawtop is cls (clearscreen). Be sure when creating a
room that you set the name, sector type, and any flags you would like to
see there. Each of the things you can set for doors (exits ) is listed in
the following chart:
If you are scripting and want the room to trigger a script when something
enters or leaves you MUST type enterscript or leavescript resp or else
the program will not check this when people enter the room. If you want
the room to trigger a script when a certain command is typed, you must type commandscript to set that up too.
The following commands are available from within the REDITOR:
show - hitting return, or 'show' shows the room stats
done - exists the room editor and returns to normal play
create <vnum> - creates a room with a certain vnum
name <room title> - changes the room title
ed add <keyword> - type this command for additonal extra-description
copyto <room vnum> - Copies the room descript to <room vnum>
desc - edit description of room
See Also: [1m[34mROOM_FLAGS[0;37m
For exits, type the direction (north/s/e/w) followed by:
delete - delete this exit
link <room vnum> - make a two way link
room <room vnum> - make a one way link (use with caution)
key <object vnum> - makes specified object the vnum of the key required
name <door name> - makes the door's name/keywords = to the given name
hidden - must have name <keyword> set.. makes it so you have
to search to find the keyword.
desc - edit the description of the exit
door - makes exit a door
closed - defaults exit to closed
locked - defaults exit to locked
eat_key - makes exit eat keys after being unlocked
pickproof - lockpicks/pick command dont work on this door
hp - Sets a door's max hp before breaking open
str - How resistent to breakage and if it's destroyed
completely. If < 0, the door is broken perm.
If you want broken doors to reset, type reset
to set the door to reset no matter what.
transport - makes the room automove all chars in direction.
see: help transport Must have room and exit in that direction first.
Ex: east delete
east link 3034
east name a small red door

extraheal Heals you faster than normal in this room
extramana The gem you are holding regenerates faster here
fallsfast If set, this will allow a person to "Walk off
a cliff.." It will not check for flying and you
will fall if you are not flying.
manadrain makes everyone in the room lose mana fast.
(this works now since I changed how spells
use up mana...)
*DO NOT* put in the cheatermana flag if you know what it is. If someone
asks you what it is you are not supposed to put in, don't tell them.
There are also TRAPS which you may put into a room. Basicaly these are
things which deal out damage to anyone in the room at random intervals.
firetrap Flames rise up, doing 1-35 damage every 1-3 seconds
Intelligence and dexterity can allow you to dodge the
flames to an extent.
rocktrap Falling rocks fall at random times (1-7 seconds) on a
victim's head. His helmet can absorb the blows to an
extent. Without helmet it does 1-50 damage OUCH!
Also, the victim's helmet will be damaged if it is metal
(ie has a higher armor class). Note: high dexterity and
intelligence and wisdom may allow you to dodge the rocks.
arrowtrap This makes arrows shoot "out of nowhere" to hit the victim.
Arrows are dodgeable and victim's armor makes a difference.
Dodge depents on intelligence and dexterity. 1-30 dam
poisontrap Exactly like above but if hit, you will be poisoned for
1-10 hours. If poisoned, it will add 1 hour for each time
you get hit.
gastrapone This can be used for swamps and sewers. Does 1-4 damage
ocassionally and cannot be dodged or saved against.
gastraptwo A much meaner version of gastrapone. It does 1-35 damage
and poisons the victim. If victim is poisoned, it adds
1 hour to duration.
spiketrap Players sometimes fall on spikes and get damaged (spikes
should be in the room description to use this trap!
avalanche NOTE: An avalance only goes off once! It does enormous
damage, and therefore it is recommended that an avalanche
room be set to no_mobs, so wandering mobs don't trigger it.
manadrain This room drains mana when you stand in it (the gem
the victim is holding).
gysertrap This will make it so a spray of scalding hot water hits
its victim, doing a good amount of damage. Make sure
you put in your room description about something that
could do such a thing, like a gyser. Otherwise this trap
won't make much sense.

101 OEDIT~
Oedit is the command that lets you create and edit items. To try this
out, pick a vnum from your area and type oedit create <vnum>. This will
basically show you a blank template of an item you can use to build on.
There are several things you need to do to set the item up.
You can type < to go back one obj, or > to go foreward one room in oedit.
You need a name, eg. type name long sword
You need a short desc (what you see in eq and inventory) eg. short a long sword
You need a long desc (what you see in the room) eg. A rusty old long sword is here.
You now need to pick what kind of an object you have eg. weapon, armor food...
See help obj-types for a list of all the object types. Some you should not
use, and those are listed.
An object also needs an object type, see OBJ-VALUES, where the object
types are the words on the left side. Just type the word by itself like
weapon or potion.
Then you should set the object take/wear flags. See: WEAR_BITS.
Then set any extra flags that the item needs. See: EXTRA-FLAGS.
In general, do not set anti align flags on items.
Set the weight and cost of the item weight <weight> cost <cost>.
Weights should be as follows. Weights now are basically 10x as big as before.
So swords should weigh 80 if you were thinking in terms of a weight of 8 as
before. Be careful setting armor and weapon costs. Really good stuff
should not cost over 20000.
Finally set the value flags. See help OBJ_VALUES. Each item has specific
item values which it needs set.
If you are scripting and want this object to have a drop or give script,
you must type dropscript or givescript or the game will not look through
the triggers when it is dropped or given. If you wish for an object to
start a script when a command is given, you must type commandscript for
this to happen.
Then you should be done.
show - hitting return, or 'show' shows the object stats
done - exits the object editor and returns to normal play
timer <# of ticks> - sets the timed age of an object (automated self-destruct)
name <keywords> - sets the keywords on an object
short <desc> - sets the 'name' of an object (a sword, a fish etc)
long - edit long description (the one in the room)
value0 <num> (or v0)- sets the value '0' on the object (also abbrev.d to 'v0')
value1 <num> - sets the value '1' on the object (also abbrev.d to 'v1')
value2 <num> - sets the value '2' on the object (also abbrev.d to 'v2')
value4 <num> etc...
weight <kg> - sets the weight of the object
cost <coins> - sets the gold value of the object
create <vnum> - creates object with specified vnum
ed add <keyword> - type this for adding/editing extended descriptions
addaffect - type this for info on adding object affects/applies
remaffect - removes an affect on an object
You may also type the name of the object type (see IREF OBJ-TYPES) or
you can type the name of the extra bit you want to toggle (IREF EXTRA-FLAGS).
You can also type the name of an affect (see AFFECT-BITS), but do __NOT__
use these without asking a god first.

See Also: [1m[34mSHOPKEEPER[0;37m for making shops.
~
101 SHOPKEEPER SHOPKEEPERS~
To make a mob a shopkeeper, you must first edit the mob in question.
There is no shop create command, just type in the shop hours below
and that automatically creates the shop.
Shop hours <opening> <closing>
The first order of business is to set the hours of the shop. The
numbers you choose should be between 0 and 24, and these represent the
hours the shop is open: for example if the numbers were 3 and 20, then
the shop would be open from 3am to 8pm every day.
Shop Profit <number1> <number2>
Then you must set the shop profit. Shop profit <number1> <number2>.
Number1 is the percent of the cost of the item that you must pay when
you buy items from the shop. Number2 is the percent of the item's cost
you get when you sell items to the shop. Shop profit number1 should
always be 100, and number2 should be around 50. This way you can buy
things from the shop, and sell them back at half price. And yes, if
this is messed up, it is possible to make "cheater shops", but we
would really not appreciate that.
Shop Decrease <percent>
This sets the decrease in the percentage you get from selling items to

Shop Items <number>
This sets the number of items which must be sold back to the shop of a
certain type, before the shop starts paying less for that item.
Shop Type <num> <type>
You may make a shop sell and buy up to 5 different types of items.
To make the shop sell gems and scrolls and potions type the following:
shop type 1 gem
shop type 2 scroll
shop type 3 potion
and so forth.
Shop Creates <vnum>
If a shop creates new items during the game (like bakers baking
bread), then set this to the vnum you want...eg vnum 37. The shop
should only do this in the case of food or other worthless items.
Shop creates_hours <number>
This tells how often the shop makes a new item: once per <number>
hours.
Shop message
This gives a message when the new item is created..
eg: shop message Shelara the baker brings a piping hot loaf of bread out of the oven.
Shop delete
If you don't want this mob to be a shopkeeper anymore, use this command.

If you want a shopkeeper to load more then 1 item that can
be done by setting reset location to a number rather then 'after'

101 MEDIT~
This is the editor that lets you create monsters or mobiles. Monsters
should be approx level 100 to be exp mobs, and approx 150-200 to be
eq mobs, and less than that for filler mobs.
You can type < to go backward on mob, or > to go foreward one mob in medit.
To start up medit, type medit create <number>.
Then the top half of your screen will show the mob information.
If you are returning to a mob already created, type medit <number>
to edit an old mob. Using < and > will move you one mob up and down
for ease of editing several mobs.
There are some of the commands you can use in medit:
done - exits the mobile editor and returns to normal play
timer <# of ticks> - sets the timed age of an mobile (automated self-destruct)
name <keywords> - sets the keywords on an mobile
short <desc> - sets the 'name' of an mobile (a sword, a fish etc)
long - edit long description (the one in the room)
desc - edit the mobile's description (when looked at)
create <vnum> - creates mobile with specified vnum
male/female/neuter - set the mobile's sex
level <level> - set the mobile's level
alignment <value> - set the mobile's alignment keep most at 0.
money <amount> - set the amount of gold on a mob (up to 10 per level)
height <number> - Don't set this usually..it is autocalced.
ac <number> - Don't set usually..101 resets to autocalc
yeller <number> / willhelp <number>. If mob A has a yeller number of say
5, and mob B also does, and mob B has a willhelp
greater than 0, say 3. Then, if mob A is attacked
and yells and mob B hears it, since they both have the
same yeller number, mob B will track down the attacker
of mob A 1 out of willhelp times.
guard - There are several things you can do with "guard"
1. guard <direction> mobs can now guard any or all
directions at once. (guard e, guard n etc..)
2. guard mob <number> (Guarding that mob number)
3. guard obj <number> (Guarding that obj number)
4. guard clan <number> (Guarding that clan number)
5. guard sect <number> (Guarding that sect number)
Under act_bits you will find 3guard_door and 3guard_opp. These
are used in conjunction with guard <direction> to make
mobs guard vs opp align people and anyone in general.
Note: This mainly means that mobs can guard several things at once,
AND They can guard several directions at once.
assists <number> - Assists this mob number when in the same room.
rescues <number> - Rescues this mob number when in the same room.
These do not require the old AONE/PRTCT names anymore.
See help act-bits for information on mob act-bits.

101 AFF-BITS AFFECT-BITS MOB_AFFECTS AFF_BITS MOB-AFFECTS~
Ok, these are VERY different now. I got sick of trying to keep track
of all the damn bits and so I reorganized them.
Players/mobs now have 4 affect bitvectors: HURT, PROT, AFF, DET.
Short for hurt_by, protected_from, affected_by, detecting.
In order to set mob bits, what you need to do is to type
HURT <bitname> or PROT <bitname> or AFF <bitname> or DET <bitname>.
This is also what is necessary for putting affects into spells, too!
The bits come in two categories. HURT/PROT and AFF/DET.
Setting the HURT bit will cause the mob to be hurt by that affect,
setting the PROT bit will cause the mob to not be able to be hurt
by that affect. A quick note: spell affects work differently now...
so if a spell say blinds, curses, and poisons...if you are not immune
to blind curse and poison..the spell still takes affect. This weakens
the power of protective affects by a great deal.
HURT/PROT bits:
name Description
blind You can't see!
poison Slower regen, weaker.
plague Slower regen, spreads some.
curse Cannot hit as well, cannot recall.
confuse Some commands get garbled.
outline You take more damage from combat hits.
wound You lose hps rapidly.
lethargy You lose moves each room you move.
mindsap You lose mana rapidly.
paralyze You cannot do ANYTHING...except 1/15 of command go through.
charm You are forced to do what your master tells you.
fear You cannot INITIATE combat..even with spells.
slow You attack much more slowly, and move more slowly too.
fumble You drop things in your inventory.
beacon You can be seen on where, protection is prot from locate.
mute You can't talk or use any channels (not even EMOTE!)
deaf You cannot hear anything.
numb You drop items you are holding.
sleep You sleep and cannot wake up.
gas You are affected/protected from gas.
wind You are affected/protected from wind.
acid You are affected/protected from acid.
chaos You are affected/protected from chaos.
shards You are affected/protected from shards.
shock You are affected/protected from shock.
ice You are affected/protected from ice.
fire You are affected/protected from fire.
Now we get to the AFF/DET bits. The DET bits really only work up to
SNEAK, but the rest of them are just normal "affects".
invis You cannot be seen.
hide If you stay still, you are hard to see.
chameleon More powerful hide..is removed when you fight.
vanish More powerful invis.
foggy This is passdoor/detect fog.
dark The affect is nothing/detect is infrared.
cold If the room is dark, det dark fails to see you without det cold.
sneak You make no noise entering a room.
magic You are magical/detect magical items.
sanctuary Absorbs some combat damage.
flying You can fly.
regenerate You regenerate hps quickly.
mindshield You absorb some spell damage.

107 SCRIPT SCRIPTS SCRIPTING~
Scripts have two main components.
1. A trigger associated with a mob, object or room which starts
the script, and
2. Some code which is called by the trigger.
To make a trigger see help SCRIPTEDIT.
To make some script code, see help SCRIPT2.
To work on editing triggers see help SCRIPTEDIT
When you make triggers and code and flags please use names
associated with your builder names to keep thing from getting
confused. Like if you are named Freddy, use trigger names
like fred01, fred02 etc...and code like fred01, fred02...
and scriptflags like fred01, fred01...etc.
LISTTRIGGERS lists all of the triggers.
LISTCODE lists all of the code chunks.
~
107 SCRIPT2~
To edit a code chunk, use EDIT CREATE <name>, or EDIT <name>.
Code chunk names can only be up to 10 letters long.
To type in your code, precede all lines with a :1, :2, :3, etc... as line
numbers. You may insert something before line two just by typing :2 stuff to
insert. To clear a line, type .c <ln>. If you forgot some line numbers,
type .f to format it and make it look pretty.
Inside the code:
Code is basically interpretted by what is calling it "as is". There are
some special functions though:
@P Substitute the person who triggered the script's name here
@M Substitute the mob who is running the script's name here
@O Substitute the object who is running the script's short desc
@V Substitues the vnum (object if obj, room if room, mob if mob)
@R(min,max) Random number between min and max.
@DA<number> Returns 1 if the person who set off the script has a diff
alignment from the number given. Good for gateguards and
protector mobs.
'@Cc' Clan Number
'@Ch' Char current hps
'@Ck' Char's Killpoints
'@Cl' Char's Level
'@Cm' Char current moves
'@Cr' Char's remorts
'@Ct' Mud time in hours, 14 for 2, 24 for 12 etc
'@Cw' Char remorts
eg: if @Cl>=10 then (read as: if level >= 10 then)
Note that you need to have no spaces in these conditionals,
if @Cl >=10 does nothing.
GOTO <ln> jumps to a line number in that code chunk
CALL <label> jumps to another code chunk/label
RECHO echos something to the room.
WAIT <x> <type> where <x> is the number of ticks. <type> is one of these:
superquick : fastest pulse, about 3 per second
quick : a tick is about 1 second with quick
heart : a tick is the length of a heartbeat (regen)
hour : the wait is a full game hour
DONE ends the script here and then, wherever it is encountered
CREATE_MOB <v> where <v> is the vnum of the mob to create.
CREATE_OBJ <v> where <v> is the vnum of the obj to create.
DESTROY_OBJ <v> where <v> is the vnum of the obj to destroy.
DESTROY_OBJ with no arguments, if it's an object script, destroys the
object upon which the script is running and ends script.
IF This is a powerful command, but you must know how to work it.
You may compare two numbers using ==, >=, <=, >, <, or !=
You may compare two strings using == and !=
You can do things such as: IF @R(1,3)==2 then
IF (flag) This checks if the given flag is set on the character
IF (!flag) This chekcs if the given flag is NOT set on the character
PSET @P This allows mobs to pset players. Useful for
scriptflags and such. If you ever make a script that
has a nonscript flag pset in it...for any reason..even if
this would allow you to cure cancer, create world peace,
end hunger and let humans colonize space...you will be
deleted and your areas will be removed. Do not pset
players unless it is a scriptflag as in
pset @P scriptflag <flagname> on/off
IF is followed by a " then", and nothing else on the line.
If the statement is TRUE, then the NEXT LINE, and the NEXT LINE ONLY! get
executed. This is in the style of assembly language. You CANNOT use {} like
in C. This makes GOTO and CALL very important.
examples:
:1 if @R(1,3)!=2 then
:2 call not_two
:3 say the number was equal to 2!
..or..
:1 if (!OR2) then
:2 goto 5
:3 say You have the orin 2 flag on, btw.
:4 done
:5 say You don't have the or2 flag on!! setting it to on!
:6 pset @P scriptflag OR2 on
..or..
:1 if @P==Orin then
:2 echo Orin is in the house everybody!!
:3 done
---------------
Useful flags!!!
---------------
Note: Objects and rooms may only set things, etc.. they cannot "say" "tell",
etc... they can, however RECHO.
Flags are up to four letters long and are stored on the character. To set
a flag, your script (or you can do it manually) should use:
pset playername scriptflag <sf> ON/OFF
Here are some examples:
pset @P scriptflag SF1 ON
pset @P scriptflag AAA OFF
Please note... 'clean up' script flags in scripts.. if you have temporary
script flags, make sure to have the flags cleared when the script is
complete, and make it so only a single "script complete" scriptflag is on.
There can be up to 3000 script flags stored on a character. However, it
doesn't keep track... if you remove a script from the game, characters will
retain the 3 or 4 letter script flag identifiers on them.
Script flags can't overlap.. make sure to come up with some scheme.. for
insance god PALIO might use PA1 - PA99, and ORIN might use OR1 - OR99.

0 SCRIPTEDIT TRIGGERS TRIGGER~
Format: scriptedit create <trigger_id> or scriptedit <trigger_id>
Each trigger has a unique ID which can be up to 20 letters in length.
Once in the trigger editor, press enter to see current info on the
current "script"/"trigger".
[1m[34mA lot of the triggers require some flag to be set on the mob/obj/room
which is doing the triggering. The words are listed to the right...
so you go into redit/medit/oedit and type commandscript or
4leavescript or whatever is required for the type of trigger and
the type of triggering thing.[0;37m
The current triggers CURRENTLY available are:
Trigger When triggered For (O)bjects (M)obs (R)ooms
--------------------------------------------------------------------
ENTERS When someone enters M, R need to set 4enterscript on mob
need to set enterscript on room
LEAVES When someone leaves M, R need to set 4leavescript on mob
need to set leavescript on room
CREATED When it resets M
COMMAND When player types M,R,O need to set 4commandscript on mob
need to set commandscript on obj
need to set commandscript on room
SAYS When a player uses say M, R
TELLS When a player tells M
EVERY_HOUR Every game hour M
EVERY_QUICKTICK Every second M
EVERY_REGENTICK Every 5-6 seconds M
GIVEN When given object OM need to set givescript on the object
need to set 4givescript on the mob
DROPPED When dropped OR need to set dropscript on the obj
need to set dropscript on the room
MOVES When the mob moves M need to set 4movescript on mob
Keywords hold extra data.. for instance, the keywords:
'hello there' 'hello' 'greeting' 'hi'
would be used in conjunction with a SAY trigger to go off when a player
uses one of those expressions in his/her SAY command. A blank keyword with
a say/tell field will trigger always when a player says/tells.
with given/dropped, keywords can hold a list of vnums to trigger on.
If blank, any vnum will do. EG: if it's a mob script, keywords holds a list
of vnums the script will trigger on if the mob is given object vnum X.
If it's a object script, keywords holds a list of vnums of mobs the script
will trigger on if the obj is given to this mob.
Coming in the future: (possibly) GIVEN_MONEY, ON_DEATH, OBJ_SACCED
Other options in scriptedit:
----------------------------
CODE <code_chunk> This is the code chunk which is "launched" when
your trigger goes off.
interrupt this toggles whether or not the script can be
interrupted part way through with another trigger
instance. (Not usually good if the script "lingers"
stops In specific scripts (room/mob), if this is set
and the character leaves the room, the script ends.
player Player only. If this is on, only players will be
able to trigger the script. If not, mobs entering
the room and such can trigger it.
Room <vnum>
Mob <vnum> These are the vnums the script is linked onto.
Obj <vnum> Only ONE of these should be set!!
~
0 ALLY ALLIANCE~
From time to time, it may become necessary to ally one kingdom with
another. For this brief period of time those kingdoms are considered
as one, and can see each other's channels and can do everything
interchangably except auctions. The alliances are created and
broken by admins and will be fairly rare. These will be used
for various purposes.
type alliance or ally to see who is currently allied.
~
0 ALIGNMENT ALIGN KINGDOM KINGDOMS NATION NATIONS SIDE SIDES ALIGNINFO~
There are no good and evil alignments anymore. There are now several
kingdoms, or alignments, which are separate from all the rest
(unless allied by the admins for short periods). This leads to
more interesting possibilities of battles among several sides
and two sides engaged in a fair fight being overwhelmed by a
third when the first two sides are hurt.
There may come a time when each side can decide on the type of
For now, no sides are permitted to engage in same side pkill.

will give you specific information on an alignment.
~
0 GAMBLE GAMBLING CASINO~
As if the game wasn't addictive enough, we now have
rudimentary gambling. To gamble, you must find a room which
is a casino room, and go there. Then you type
gamble <amount> <game>
Where amount can be a pure number or a number of a
certain type of coins, such as 50 silver, which is then
converted into numbers of coppers.
The games we have at the moment are roulette and slots.
They don't give you any options, but more ill be coded in later.
Roulette pays 43:1 on a 1/45 chance of winning,
In slots, if all the symbols are the same, you win.
The best payout is bar bar bar worth 500:1.
If the last things to come up is a star, if
the other two were different, you win 1:1, if they
were the same, you get your money back.
~
0 ARENA CHALLENGE ACCEPT~
We have an arena where you can practice pkilling without loss of
equipment. You can also bet on the arena, but you must arena
someone who is of your own alignment, or which is allied with your
alignment. You must be at full hit points to challenge someone.
You type
Syntax: Challenge <playername>
then they type
accept yes or decline to avoid the arena. While you are spelling up
for combat in the arena other people can type
bet show
to see who is fighting, and then
bet <amount> <1 or 2>
to place a bet.
~
0 AUCTION BID~
We have an auction system that allows you to sell to people of your own
alignment (NOT allies in this case). To start an auction type
auction <item> <amount of copper (at least 100)>.
This will set up the auction and set a starting price which is
higher then your starting price since the autotransfer costs money.
The buyer pays half, and the seller pays half of the transfer fee
so if you have a low price on an item with a high transfer fee,
you can lose money selling it.
To bid on an item, just type bid <amount (of copper)>.
You can overbid someone by bidding 20 more coins, but people who
constantly bid things up by 20 coins tend to get pkilled by their
own side.
If you wish to halt an auction because a mistake was made,
such as someone bidding 10000 when they meant 1000,
type auction halt
This must be done before going twice. It is possible to spam
auction/halt on an item..and any time you put an item up for
auction you don't intend to sell it, it can be considered spamming.
If you spam auction, your side might pkill you for being annoying.
Private auctions are part of the "unwritten rules" that make things
easier...please try to respect private auctions as long as the
people engaged in this do not do it too often. However, there
are no rules stopping someone from ruining a private auction.
If you make it a habit of interfering with legitimate private
auctions just to be an ass, your own side will probably pkill you.
~
0 BATTLE BATTLEGROUND~
The Battleground is a place where you battle against other players to
win a prize. When a Battleground is announced, you enter yourself by
entering the command BATTLE. When it starts, you are teleported to an
area of 20 rooms where you fight until you die, or win. Should you
die, there will be NO experience points loss and NO items loss. You will
simply be teleported back to the place you were before typing BATTLE. If
you win you are teleported to your home town. Bugging a god to run a
battleground will result in demotion, or loss of experience. Repeated
bugging may result in something worse...
[1m[34mAcid and fire spells do damage items in a BG, so items CAN be lost.[0;37m
[1m[34mThere will be no reimbs of any kind for losses caused from the BG.[0;37m
~
0 WARPOINTS WAR POINTS 'WAR POINTS' WARPOINT~
These points are a good indicated of how successful you have been
in the war between good and evil. Player kills of opposite alignment
add a certain amount of warpoints, depending on their level. If
you are one of the top ten killers in the lands, then your name will
go on the topten list (view topten list by typing topten). As a top
killer, you do not receive anything special per se, except perhaps
the respect and fear of other players. The difference between
killpoints and warpoints is that warpoints represent player kills,
while killpoints include difficult mob kills.
~
110 'HIDDEN DUAL WIELD'~
This skill allows you to hold a weapon in your secondary hand and attack
with it as well. However, it is impossible to master your secondary hand
as well as primary. You cannot use two weapons and a shield for obvious
reasons.
~
0 TROPHY~
This command shows your best kills, along with the level they were when
you last killed him/her and how many times you have killed the player.
Playerkills in the same alignment will not show up on this list, nor will
mobs. If all the slots are filled, the lowest level character will be
checked, and if the current kill is of higher level, the lowest character
on the chart will be overwritten.
~
0 START STARTING HINTS HINT NEWBIE NEW HELP~
Welcome to the Lands of Chaos. You will note that you are in a room with
no exits, and a single portal. In a moment you will want to enter the
portal to go to the newbie land. For now, type who. You will note that
the mud looks empty. There are other players on, but you are protected
from them until level 15, and since this is a pkill MUD, you cannot
see them. Getting to level 15 is easy once you have the hang of the game.
If you want a quick list of commands type "command", and if you want
to find out something about the command in question type help <command>.
Type Help NEWBIETWO
~
0 NEWBIETWO NEWBIE2~
Type eq, and you see you are wearing nothing. Now, type wear all
and you will see that you equip some items. Now type eq again
and you will see that you are using some things. Type score and
info to see some stats about your character. You will note that you
cannot see your stats at this low level. You will see numerical stats
at level 15. Type rating and topten. These two commands give you a
feeling for who is "winning the game". Rating is a measure (not perfect)
of how powerful characters are. Your rating will probably be around
100-140 right now depending on how well you rolled. If your rating is
much below 100, you have a weak character and should consider rerolling.
If you have never placed LoC before, consider playing a Golem or Troll
race and rolling using choices EBBE. This will get you a decent "tank"
character you can use to explore.
Type Help NEWBIETHREE
~
0 NEWBIETHREE NEWBIE3~
Now that you have seen your equipment, type slist skills,
slist spells, and slist profs. These are the three types of
"things" you can learn to use to go out and kill people in LoC.
Spells come in all kinds, from healing to offensive to location
and identification. Skills are combat-oriented abilities. Proficiences
are roughly speaking non-combat skills. You will note on the
score command you see at the upper right hand corner
Profs Slots: [ num/num ]
Skill Slots: [ num/num ]
Spell Slots: [ num/num ]
What the first num represents is the number of that type of ability
you have "learned", and the second number is the maximum number
you can learn. This is an important point. We do not have classes
here, but each race is limited in the number of skills and spells
and profs it can learn. So, if you play a sprite, you can learn
a lot of spells and few skills and you will be weak in hand
to hand combat..but will kick butt with spells. The same thing
applies to Golems being very good at hand to hand combat, and weak
spellcasters. A lot of spells have prerequisites which mean
that you cannot just get the "really good spell" without
learning possibly dozens of spells before it. No character
will have all of the "best" spells/skills/proficiences.
However, it is possible to make a character that is decent
at a little bit of everything.
Type Help NEWBIEFOUR
~
0 NEWBIEFOUR NEWBIE4~
There are other things you can "buy" to improve your character.
Type help guild and help augments. The guilds are sort of
like classes, except you can join several of them eventually.
Many skills and spells and profs require one or more guilds
to learn. Type slist chameleon for an example. You need to
be a member of ALL of the guilds listed to get that spell.
Type Guild costs, and augment costs. Note that each guild
and augmentation has a cost in terms of how many remorts
you need, how many levels you need, and how much gold and
how many warpoints you need. (Warpoints are "points" you
get for pkilling people of different alignments...and you lose
them for being pkilled). Type remort costs. You currently have
0 remorts, and you need to go and gain levels, and get
money, and pkill to be able to remort.
If you haven't done it already, type help rules and help pkill.
There are a lot of rules, but the basic idea is work with
those who are of your own alignment, don't be rude, and don't
be a pain to the admins. You should pkill people of other
alignments as much as possible, and if you have never pkilled
before, you will probably not be too good at it, so stick
with groups until you get the hang of it.
Type Help NEWBIEFIVE
~
0 NEWBIEFIVE NEWBIE5~
That is most of the information you should need to get started.
Enter the portal and type scan. You should see some monsters nearby,
and if not walk around some by using the direction commands
n e w s u d. Also, try out the world and players commands.
Fighting is not too complicated at low levels, you just
type kill <monster> and then fight it. Monsters that consider
somewhat tougher than you, but which are not too tough
like ARE YOU MAD! or Squish you with ease... are not too
hard to kill. Fleeing incurs almost no penalty here, so don't
be afraid to flee. Also, regeneration is so fast here that
you will eventually be able to take some tough mobs solo by
attacking for a bit and then resting...but not yet. When in
combat, type flurry to get an extra hit or two. Flurry is also
a skill and it is more powerful with the skill, but for now it
will help you to kill the newbie monsters.

This command will allow you to see how much weight you are carrying.
Weight is very important in this game. If you are over weight you will

0 FIGHT OPTIONS 'FIGHT OPTIONS'~
Syntax: Fight or Fight <togglename>
Typing the word fight by itself will show you a list of your behaviors
in combat and ground fighting. Typing fight followed by an option will
toggle option on/off. For instance "fight elbow" would toggle whether or
not I use elbows in ground fighting. Here is a brief description of some
of the normal fight toggles:
POWER: If on, your attacks will do slightly more damage. If off, you
will be able to attack at a slightly increased speed.
AGGRESSIVE: If on, your attacks will be more forceful and hit more often.
If off, you will occasionally dodge a blow that you might not
have if aggressive had been on.
GROUND: If on, you won't try to resist a fight that may end up on the
ground. If off, you will do everything in your power to make
sure the fight doesn't go to the ground. If you try to resist
going into a groundfight, you will find it very hard to tackle
anyone.

Repair <item/all> yes
Certain people in the world, often weapon smiths or armorers, can
repair damaged weapons and/or armor. Repair <item> will give you an
estimate of how much the item will cost to repair. Some magical or
powerful items cannot be repaired at all, and some items may cost more
than others to repair. If you wish the repairs to be done, type Repair
<item> yes, and the repairer will go ahead and fix up your item.
~
110 'HIDDEN SWIM'~
With this skill, one will be able to swim in most shallow waters such as
lakes and rivers.
~
0 ARMOR ARMORCLASS AC 'ARMOR CLASS'~
Armors like breastplates, helmets and various protective spells can
all be used to lower your "Armor" value. The more armored you are,
the more damage can be "absorbed" from an attack. If you are well-
enough armored, many attacks will not even reach your skin, and will
just give you a small bruise. Armor is not a 100% sure fire way to
stop all attacks, though; often an opponent will be able to find an
opening on even a person with incredible armor and the armor may absorb
little or none of the blow. Many normal people have trouble handling
heavy armor, and actually fight better in normal clothes. Don't
underestimate the power of speed and agility!

~
0 Sprite~
Sprites are tiny little faeries which live in the forest. They are
very weak and frail, but can fly very fast and have extremely sharp
mental abilities.
~
0 HIGH-ELF~
High-Elves are the most noble of the elven races. They are tall and
thin, and lack the robustness of humans or other larger creatures, but
they make up for this with minds capable of thinking and understanding
far beyond most of the other races of the world. They also have keen
eyesight which can discern even things which are not visible moving
against a background.
Since high-elves are the holiest of races, they gain a 10 percent
bonus to damage with spells when pkilling.
~
0 ILLITHID~
These horrible creatures look like squid-men. Their heads have short,
purple tentacles, and their "hands" are really just claws, which are
not very effective for gripping. Despite their physical shortcomings,
their minds are finely tuned to the magical arts, and their sensitive
tentacles can detect fluctuations in the air caused by the passage of
unseen creatures.
Because illithids have the most powerful of minds, it is extremely
hard to save vs their spells.
~
0 Half-Elf~
A Half-Elf is a crossbreed of a human and an elf. Although matings of
this kind are rare, the resulting offspring gains some of the stamina
of humans, while not losing all of the enhanced mental powers of the
elves. Half-Elves can also see in the dark as well as their high-elven
cousins, and are even slightly taller.
~
0 Dark-Elf~
The Dark-Elves are elves which have turned to the side of evil. These
elves have grown up in darkness and can see in the dark
perfectly. The dark-elves are slightly more robust than their high-elf
brethren, and the harshness of the underground world has caused them
to lose none of their mental capacity relative to the high-elves. Yet,
the dark-elves are still much more intelligent than the average human,
and more frail at the same time.
~
0 Sea-Elf~
Sea-Elves are descendents of an experiment. At the beginning of the ancient
colonization of the world, certain elves were offered to move to the
underwater areas of the world. Then, during the alignment wars, the Sea-Elves
were split from their Sahaugin cousins who became twisted and evil. Sea-Elves
are more slight than a human, but slightly sharper mentally, and they feel
just as at home underwater as they do on land. Sea elves look like thin
elves with slightly green skin.
~
0 Gnome~
Gnomes are small humanoids who are sort of stocky, and generally
have beards (both sexes!) and have poor eyesight. They are not
very hardy or strong, but they are totally immune to blindness.
~
0 Narcoleprechaun~
These spry creatures are found in the forest and have a bad habit of
falling asleep at the worst times.
~
0 WILD-ELF~
Wild-Elves are elves which have forsaken the cities and structured
life of the High-Elves. They have learned to move silently through the
forest, while still retaining the elven ability to see in the
dark. Wild-Elves are more robust than elves, but lack the mental
faculties to challenge the High-Elves in the area of magical prowess.
Through their long periods spent in the woodlands, Wild-Elves have
developed an ability to detect hidden objects and people.
~
0 GOBLIN~
Goblins are shrunken humanoids with grey skin which live below the
earth. They are a generally obnoxious bunch, and tend to smell. Not
known for their great size and strength, goblins nonetheless have
learned to be quick-witted and quick on their feet. They have learned
how to move quietly away from threatening situations, and can see the
heat of other creatures in total darkness.
Being naturally stealthy, members of the goblin race sneak with
preternatural ease.
~
0 Kender~
These little creatures are very curious and playful, and tend to
walk around on the balls of their feet, thereby not making any
noise. They do not make for very good warriors, but tend to excel
at anything requiring sneakiness.
~
0 Gimp~
Gimps are ugly, smelly little humanoids that do not have much of
a place in LoC. Being the whiners who wished to avoid the alignment
struggles by evasion, they have been given the power to avoid
detection, but at the price of being a very weak race.
~
0 HUMAN~
Humans are the standard race. While other races boast special abilities
all humans have to rely upon is their numbers and ingenuity. They are
well rounded, and stronger, smarter, or quicker than most races.
Being generic, humans recieve no special bonuses or penalties.
~
0 DRACONIAN~
Draconian are the results of experiments in miniaturizing
dragons. They look like small upright dragons with large, leathery
wings. Although they can fly, the closest they can come to breathing
fire is the occasional wisp of smoke. A dragonkin is noted to be a
smart and robust creature, but a little clumsy.
Due to powerful wings, members of the draconian race have the ability
to fly.
~
0 Buckawn~
Buckawns are stocky man-sized humanoids with thick fur and pointy
ears. Buckawns are somewhat more robust than humans, and since they
are natural hunters, they are aided by night vision unsurpassed in all
the land. The price they have paid for these hunting skills is their
lack of learning ability.
~
0 Orc~
Orcs are the grunts of the evil world. They are mean, dumb and
tough. They can pass for human if they wear loose-fitting clothing,
although the smell usually gives them away. If they do not have
cover over their body, their snout noses and little pink eyes usually
clear a room within seconds. They can see perfectly in
total darkness and generally shy away from the more intellectual
pursuits in life.
Orcs gain a bonus to their percent learned when they practice a
combat skill fully.
~
0 DWARF~
These short, stocky humanoids are generally more interested in
drinking than fighting. They move rather slowly, but can pack a wallop
if they do engage in combat, and they are tough enough to take
quite a licking before being forced to submit. They are not very
bright, but have learned to keep excellent records of the lore of
the ages, and can call upon this wisdom in times of need.
Dwarves are excellent healers and recieve a bonus to any healing spell
they cast.
~
0 Ogre~
Ogres are big, mean, dumb, and smell awful. They are large humanoids
with thick grey skin, and glowing purple eyes. Ogres have become
attuned to the darkness in which they live and can see in the dark
perfectly. They make excellent shock troops, but their limited mental
abilities prevent them from doing anything really complocated. On the
other hand, if you need something broken, ogres are well-suited
for the job.
~
0 Tree-Troll~
Trolls are big, ugly creatures with mottled green skin and purple
eyes. They grow to be well over 10 feet tall and generally live
in caves and holes in the forest. They have a very fast regeneration
rate, and tend to be very powerful in combat, while rather dumb.
~
0 GOLEM~
The Golem are magical creatures which were created as guards for
wizards. They managed to escape their slavery ages ago, and they
began to learn the secrets of creating more golem. They are not
particulary bright, but they can absorb more damage than any
other race, and they do not bleed.
Being created of stone, golems have the highest natural armor of
any race.
~
0 Minotaur~
Minotaur are huge humanoids with huge horns sticking out of the sides of
their heads. These horns can be used when in close quarters combat to
knock out the eyeballs of an enemy, thereby blinding them.
Minotaurs are the masters of groundfighting. They can tackle anything,
they have a better chance of tackling, they inflict more damage,
they take less damage, and they have a better chance of choking
in groundfights.

0 PKILLING PKILL PLAYERKILLING~
This mud is a [1m[34mPkill mud[0;37m. Pkill is encouraged to the highest extent.
It is not illegal to pkill someone of the same alignment, but if you pkill
someone of the same alignment for no reason, expect backlash. If you feel
you have been pkilled for no reason, make some friends and get that person
back. Remember that squabbles within will hurt your alignment in the great
war, and should be looked down apon. Frequent same alignment pkills are not
recommended, and in severe cases could result in action by the gods. Although
you will normally be warned first, you could be frozen or deleted on the first
offense depending on the situation. All same align pkills will be taken on
a case by case basis, and if provoked we will do nothing.
See Help PKILL2

You should, however pkill members of the opposite alignment. If you have
never played a pkill mud before, or even if you have, expect to die a lot
here. You will notice once in a while that things like +* A Chaotian Orc *+
appear out of nowhere and attack you. Those are the things you should
kill. Probably they will have a few people with them, which means
you should run. To learn to pkill, you will need to go out into groups
and pkill solo players for a bit, just to get the feel for it.
Eventually, you can learn to play well enough to pkill solo...or even
take on groups by yourself (although this is VERY dangerous). Type
pkstat or topten to see how the "war" is going.
A few tips on pkilling:
1) Have aliases like alias t tackle darkie
alias z kick darkie
alias x bash darkie
Also if you are a caster and say your best spell is spike,
alias 1 bash darkie*c spike
Or, if you may have to attacka big group make an alias
alias 2 bash 3.darkie

Be sure to watch your hps. Set your wimpy to 1/3 your total hps...
Type nospam. There is so much friggin spam in combat that it is impossible
to sort it all out till you are used to it. Cut down on this by getting
rid of the useless messages in combat by having nospam set on.
Try not to flee unless the wimpy kicks in or the leader starts to say out.
PAY ATTENTTION TO WHO IS WINNING THE BATTLE! If you see like 3 people
on your side dying in quick succession...be ready to run. If you see
members of the opp align dying...be ready to start chasing. It is
generally better in an even battle (say 5 on 5) to start out causing
damage instead of spam tackling...unless your target is someone who needs
to be tackled. Also, be aware of the power of healing...mass healing
is one of the absolute most powerful spells in the game. If the other
side has a couple of mass healers...that can add up to 600 hps to EACH
person on the other side. Make sure you attack the healers, as well
as the mages. Also there are spells that cause no damage, but which hurt
the victim in other ways, like lethargy, wounding, and paralyze. Try them
out. The most important thing is to learn to watch your hps..and play
your part..mages try to cast and take out other mages or cause dam,
healers rescue and heal and unblind and things...warriors try to
cause damage and pin down others and rescue, thieves try to cause
as much damage as possible.

There are several different alignments in the world. Type aligninfo to
get a list of all the alignments and their specials. In order to stop
huge groups from roaming around the mud killing everything in their
path, and to prevent people who are clueless from getting excessive
pkill rewards, we have instituted rules on the number of people
of your alignment in the area when someone is pkilled.
When a person is pkilled by someone of a different alignment, the
number of people of the same alignment (or allied see help alliance or
help ally) as the person who got the killing blow who are within a few
rooms of where the victim died is counted up.
If this number is greater than 6 (although this number may change)
then several things happen.
1. The victim does not get their number of pdeaths incremented.
2. The victim dies and goes to their portal.
3. The victim's corpse will be EMPTY, and the equipment in it will be
removed from the game.
4. The pkiller and the people of the same alignment (or allied alignments
as the pkiller) get no exp, no trophy, no warpoints, no pkills, no
equipment. The only thing they get is the removal of a kit of
equipment from the game. (So if your goal is to take down someone
loaded or to remove equipment from the game...this will do it.)
There are two stipulations to this.
First, the number of people counted up is the number of the same or
allied alignments as the person who got the blow. So, if you have 5
alignments in one room with 6 people each... and nobody is allied,
warpoints are normal then.
Second, your outpost zones have been designated "homelands." Since
homelands are meant to be raided with large groups, if the victim
dies inside a zone designated as a homeland, the limits on the
number of people are lifted. The experience will still be much worse
for large groups, but the warpoints will be there, and the equipment
will not be destroyed.
See Help PKILL5
~
0 PKILL5~
On another note, do not help the members of the opposite alignment.
If you want to be friends with them, go talk to them on BambiMUD.
One of the most fun things is to kill someone and take their equipment,
then when they cry about it either go to their outpost and yell at
them that you are saccing it because it sucks too bad, or yell at them
thanking them for the equipment, or even better yell and tell them you
want to give it back to them. When they come for it, kill them again.
Even better, pretend like it was a mistake when a trigger went off,
and then maybe kill them a third time if they are that gullible.
Killing someone more than three times within an hour or so is bad,
that gets into spam killing, so at that point you should return home.
Also, another good thing is to act like you are friendly with the
other side...especially the highlevels, then one day lure them
into a trap so you can kill them and get their equipment.

char and picking it up with a second character, or asking someone to hold
items for you to name just a few.
Also, to be more specific, we consider it to be cheating if you know
someone who is at your school, or wherever, and you convince them to make
up a character to perform a specific task for you. Let's suppose for a
moment that your roommate does not play the mud, or may play the mud in
the future, so you convince them to make a character and then that
character holds your oh so special [1m[31mMEGA [1m[34mSWORD [1m[33mOF [0;37mINSTANT
[1m[32mDEATH[0;37m. Even though technically they are a different person, they
have no business holding a great item and are basically a storage
character. Now, it is different if there are two people from one site, and
both have tons of hours of playing time. Then if one character gives a
great item to the other to hold, that is reasonable. Making bullshit
characters up, and using them basically as storage characters is not
permitted here. If you want someone to hold something powerful for you,
you must have them work up that character and have them playing a bit. At
the same time, we do not frown upon more than one person playing from one
site, or even having several people from one site swapping eq or being in
a clan etc... Just no bullshit. Make sure everyone who gets the megabuff
eq is a REAL player who has already been playing, and who does not just
log on conveniently when a certain item is needed. Yes we will be
checking, and yes it is easy to do. Even though there are no limited items
here, we will be keeping track of the [0;37mPOWERFUL[0;37m items, and if they
are in the hands of some newbie that no one has heard of, we will watch
the newbie, and if it logs and hands eq to certain chars then buh bye.
And another thing, if there is a locked door with a low pop key, don't
have that person sitting next to you in the computer lab make a newbie
char who goes and logs out behind the door, so that when you log on and
want to play you can "conveniently" open the door for you. This is still
multiplaying as far as we are concerned, and also multiplaying covers any
other sneaky junk you may try to pull by having "someone else" who is not
a real player do something for you to make your life easier. It does not
even matter if that character is controlled by a real, live, different
person. In that case you are breaking the spirit of this rule, if not the
letter and that is good enough reason to enforce the punishments.

101 'IREF FURNITURE' FURNITURE~
As of the creation of this help file, there is only enter-able furniture.
This is made by setting obj-type to furniture, and setting the proper
values. v0 = 4, and v1 = the destination room vnum. For example, if
v1 = 00, then entering the object would take you to room #00.
Make sure you don't make enter-able objects take-able, or people have an
infinite # of teleports!
v5 1 = portal has a 1 in 4 chances of eatting non-worn objects
v5 0 = portal will not eat items.
~
0 STORE UNSTORE CSTORE CUNSTORE~
Command STORE <object> can be performed at a bank. This command is used
to store objects in the bank network (withdrawable at any bank throughout
the lands) for a fee which will be stated. STORE <object> YES finalizes
the storage.
Command UNSTORE <number> or no arguments, shows a listing and/or gets an
item from storage. You must be at any of the banks of the world, and
have the money in hand to get back your equipment.
Command CSTORE <object> is just like store, only the action can only be
performed in the clan house. The stored object goes into a pool of clan
items (like a clan donation), for anyone to withdraw, free.
Command CUNSTORE <number> or no arguments, shows a listing and/or gets an
item from the clan storage. This is totally free, but it is advisable to
check with clan members before taking all their stuff :)

~
0 LINKLESS 'BAD LINK' LD~
If you lose your link, you will just sit there out in the world ripe for
anyone and everyone to come along and pkill you. If your link sucks, you
are encouraged to come back later or just hope it does not get you killed.
There are no reimbs, so there will
be no reimbs for bad links. Just take heart in the fact that if your link
sucks, then lots of other links suck.

101 RESET~
[1m[34mSYNTAX:[0;37m reset area ..... resets (repops) area that you are in
[1m[34mSYNTAX:[0;37m reset room .... resets only room you are in
This will hopefully explain how to reset things. Mobs and objects are reset
by number in the room. You put resets into the room and when the room is
reset, the resets are executed in order. There are a great many resets which
deal with previously reset items and these require the resets to be done in
order. The resets are numbered from 1 to N where N is some number.
[1m[34mSYNTAX:[0;37m reset with no arguments will show you all the current resets

- [1;30m<[0mmob vnum[1;30m>[0m is the vnumber of the mob
- [1;30m<[0mchance[1;30m>[0m is a number from 1 to 100..usually mobs are set at 100 pct.
- [1;30m<[0mmax number[1;30m>[0m is the max number of this mob reseting in this room.
The default to chance is 100 and to max_number is 1 so by typing:
"reset 1 mob 4526", this will make the mob 4526 reset in the room at
100pct of the time with max number of 1. This is a nice shortcut.

SACRIFICE <object/corpse> cleans up the object by removing it permanently.

SAVE saves you character; equipment and room you are in, etc...
QUIT quits the game. There is NO RENT HERE, you can quit anywhere and your
character will be the same when you come back in.
WHERE shows the players in the zone you are currently in.
! repeats the last command you typed in.
~
103 MAP MAPPING~
We do not have a map of the new world, and we may just keep it that
way. However, there is a type of overhead mapping which lets you
see the area nearby. Give it a try by typing mapping, or just map to
toggle it. If you get funky looking characters, type [1m[34mnoibm[0;37m and you
will
get standard ASCII characters.
There is also a feature called [1m[34mnospam[0;37m which redraws your character as
it moves inside of a static map to cut down on bandwidth.
It works ok unless the builder made a mistake or a maze which causes
overlapping rooms.
There is a feature called [1m[34mviewmobs[0;37m which puts a big M on the screen
wherever mobs are.
You can also see players (of your own alignment or allied with you)
with the command [1m[34mviewplayers[0;37m. It was considered letting this
show all players, but that seemed too cheater..even though it is
a lot of fun chasing a red P around with your red X (if you
are not in nospam mode).
If you need to refresh the map type scan refresh and it will redraw
the overhead map.
If you want an overhead map that "moves" with you sort of like the old
wizard eye view from Might and Magic, just don't use the nospam
option. You will probably find viewmobs too annoying to use in most
areas since the whole map will be covered with M's, but if you turn
it on, scan refresh to get a new view, then turn it off you can get
a nice map of the nearby area and see where the mobs are.

0 STORY~
The lands are at war. Take up the struggle of the four great nations
as they vie for dominance over the Lands of Chaos. It was not always like
this. In ages past, the land was vibrant and filled with life...before
the dark days when the Valheru struggled with the Shadows for dominance.
The Targannan and Lawthera retreated into their homelands to await
the eventual outcome of the struggle, but then the Shadow and Valheru
turned upon them. Treachery brought the Targannan to the gates of the
Lawthera keep demanding justice for their slain king, and then
the battle was joined on all sides. The ensuing wars destroyed
most of the neutral and outlying cities in the land. Travellers
today walk through the burned-out shells of once mighty capitals
and ports which now lie rotting, with perhaps a smattering of poor
scavengers and merchants left to pick over the refuse.
You must choose a which side to serve. Each side will attempt to woo
you with its promises of power and glory during your training days,
but you must choose carefully, for this is a choice for life.
~

You can now buy resistances. You get 3 resistance points per remort.

~
0 WARRIOR~
The Warriors Guild is an association of men and women who share a common
interest in the art of war. When you join this guild, you will by
taught how to fight more ferociously, and you will probably notice an
increase in the damage done on every blow to an opponent. Your strength
will also improve by one during your membership period.
~
0 THIEF~
This small, shunned group of thieves puts all of its members through a
difficult dagger-dodging seminar. Not only will you become substantially
better if you already have a background in "dodge", but you will also
gain a point of dexterity.
~
0 TINKER~
The Tinkers Guild is a guild of skilled craftsmen who have come together
to monopolize the business of repair. By joining the Tinkers Guild, you
will receive great discounts on repair costs, you will be taught to fight
more effectively with hammers and other concussion weapons, and most of
all, you will gain a point of constitution for joining.
~
0 HEALER~
The Healers Guild is an open organization of people who trade the secrets
of restoring health to the sick and injured. They do not get along well
with people who use stealth and guile to kill, nor do they practice
the arts of combat magic. When you join the Guild of Healers, you will
see your healing spells improve greatly, and you will gain a point of
wisdom.
~
0 WIZARD~
The Wizard's Guild has been set up to use magical power in its most
destructive forms. Although wizards will not be able to
heal as well as the members of the Healers Guild, only the members of
the Guild of Wizards can harness the destructive energies of the
higher power attack spells. Members of the Wizard's Guild also gain a
point of intelligence when they join.
~
0 RANGER~
The Ranger's Guild is the domain of the hardiest hunters of the land.
Members of this guild become world-class trackers, and get training in
the arts of slashing. When you join the Rangers Guild, your
constitution will increase by 1 because of the rigors of the training
period.
~
0 MYSTIC~
Mystics deal with the arcane, and spirit realm of magic. There are many
spells which require the knowledge of the Mystic's Guild to learn and
cast and are closely guarded secrets which will not be divulged to
outsiders. Spells dealing with transport or information are the domain
of the mystic, although they do let outsiders have access to the word
of recall spell as a gesture of goodwill. You will gain a point of
wisdom when you join the Mystic's Guild, and you will notice a slight
improvement in the power of your healing spells.
~
0 BATTLEMASTER~
Although the Warrior's Guild teaches people how to fight in general,
the Battlemaster's Guild teaches the more advanced arts of fighting.
Most of the more powerful attack skills require the precise knowledge
and training that only the Battlemaster's Guild can provide. When you
join the Battlemaster's Guild, you will gain a point of strength.
~
0 GUILD GUILDS~
Guilds are organizations of professionals who share knowledge
within their guilds to members only. Each guild has 5 ranks, or
"tiers" which must be gained by spending "guildpoints" which
are accrued during remorting. You get 6 guildpoints per remort
and it costs N guild points to advance to rank N within a guild.
It also costs roughly
(10000 * new_rank) + (10000 * remorts) coins to advance a tier.
and
(10 * remorts * remorts) + (10 * new_rank) warpoints to advance a tier.
To join a guild you must find the guildmaster located somewhere
in the world and type guild join or guild advance. Guild advance
will attempt to advance you a tier in that guild. Guild leave
will give you back the guildpoints you've spent on that guild, but
also remove any bonuses you achieved for being a member, and also
preset you.
The following guilds are available:
Thief, Assassin, Warrior, Battlemaster, Wizard, Sorcerer, Healer,
Mystic, Ranger, Tinker.
As you advance tiers within a guild you get bonuses and more
special skills/spells become available to you. Also, upon achieving
tier 3 in any guild you will gain a stat increase.
Some guilds require membership in other guilds in order for you to
join, these guilds are Battlemaster, which requires the Warrior Guild,
Sorcerer, which requires Wizards, and Mystic, which requires Healers.
See the helpfile for each of the guilds listed above, and type
slist <guildname> to view the skills/spells available to members
at each tier.
The one exception to the guild points requirement is the tinker's
guild, which is only limited by the number of times you have remorted.
You can only be as high a tier in the Tinker's Guild as the number of
times you have remorted.
~
0 CLEADER~
A clan leader should be a highlevel player who knows the game and
is a good leader. A clan leader should be trustworthy, and really guide
his clan members.
As a clan leader you get access to several new commands:
Cadd,
This command is used to add someone to the clan.
Cremove,
This command is used to remove someone from the clan.
Announce,

4. [1m[34m You must have a name for the clan picked out when you
talk to an admin![0;37m Certain names may be rejected due to being
offensive, but silly names are permitted. Names making fun of
the other alignment are also permitted.
5. You must have demonstrated leadership, and must not be a "problem
player." You may be labelled as a problem player due to your actions
on a previous incarnation of LoC, or even on another MUD where the
admins are aware of this behavior.
6. You must have 1000 Warpoints, which are not lost when
starting the clan.
7. A Fee of 100000 coins will be charged to the clan leader to start
the clan. This fee is for the starting clan channel.
See help CBUILD to get information on how much building a clanhouse
costs. Note that "building a clanhouse" means giving information to
an admin on the player port and having that admin build the
clanhouse. You will not be given a builder on any port for the
purposes of building a clanhouse.
Email us at loc@loc.inetsolve.com if you have any questions.

permission.

Once your clan has been approved and created, you get access to your
clan bank. You can donate money and warpoints to this account by
typing donate <amount> <gold/warpoints> clan.
There is now only one clanhouse you can originally buy.
The clanhouse starting package requires that the leader of the clan
have at least 3 remorts, level 60, or 4 or more remorts at any level.
The cost (deducted from the clan bank) is:
2000 warpoints and 400000 coins.
Your clanhouse must be built close to your home city. How close will
be determined by the admins, but the Great Junction is a good
yardstick to use.

You get:
16 rooms. A clan Fountain with refresh and heal critical at level 30.
4 Level 50 guards, 4x hps 20pct warrior skills, detecting invis, dark,
hide, sneak.
Clan banker, Clan storage, Weaponsmith, Armorer, Baker, Barkeep,
2 secret doors, an extramana/extraheal room, A global noteboard, a
clan noteboard, and up to 4 statues. You get to make your own
room names and descriptions. There must be a direction to flee from
any guard that blocks such that the fleeing person will not have
to worry about people spamming closed doors when they are trying
to flee. [1m[34mThe armorer and weaponsmith will buy back items only
at 70 percent, because of the clan items which will repop in your
clanhouse. We cannot let you have them "for free".[0;37m
You get a "secret escape route" which is an unseen portal with a funky
name placed somewhere inside the clan. It will lead outside the clan, but
no more than 20 spaces away from the clan entrance. The secret escape
route cannot end up inside of a hometown.
You may also create 2 types of clan food with 20 hours of food value,
2 kinds of clan drinks which have 15 drinks per container, and a clan
"bag". The clan bag will not be indestructable, and it can contain 300
pebbles worth of items.
There are also 7 levels of upgrades for the clanhouse.
Each upgrade costs 1000*upgrade_you_are_getting warpoints and
100000*upgrade_you_are_getting coins. Your clan upgrade level
can NEVER be higher than that of your alignment city upgrade level.
You cannot just screw the other people on the alignment and make
your own little clan fortress. Sorry.
See help CBUILD3
~
0 CBUILD3~
Each upgrade adds two rooms and one piece of statuary, or other
furniture. The resets of food will be limited to 20 at reboot, with
a new piece created every couple of hours. There will be one drink
container each reboot. The armor/weapons/gems listed below will
repop on only 7 percent of the reboots. Your shopkeepers are ALWAYS
reboot only.
Other upgrades to rooms and items:
Upgrade 1:
* Your fountain goes to level 40.

Upgrade 3:
* The fountain is level 60 and now also casts purification.

* You get a clan armor with 1 hitroll, 5 hps, 5 moves, ac 2. Clan
armors can either be set to be worn on places with one wear
location, or places with two wear_locations.
* The clan armor pops once per reboot, and it costs 50000 (but you can
then sell things back to the shop to get some of the money back).
Upgrade 4:
* The fountain is level 80 and casts ClanHeal.
* Your clan armor is upgraded to 10 hps, 10 moves, ac 4.
It now costs 100000.
* You get an "inner guard" which is 10 levels higher than the
gateguards, has +2x hp modifier, and is a protector mob, and
which can block all further progress into the clanhouse. It may
not be used to keep people from fleeing the clanhouse. If you choose,
you can put this mob at your outer gates with the regular guards.
* Your drink container now has 100 drinks.
* You get a 5 room "clan outpost" which can go into the world past the
barrier. The outpost can have a secret door entrance, a room inside,
a guard room, another room, and finally a bank (if you wish) and a
mana/fountain room if you wish. These outposts cannot be upgraded.
Be warned, if you put the cool things like clanbank and fountains in
here, then your enemies will be able to raid easily as the guards
are starting guards, and never get better.
Upgrade 5:
* You get another reset of your "secret escape route".
* The fountain is level 100 and casts ClanDefense.
* A room inside of the clanhouse now summons assistall guards aggressive
to other alignments when people enter the room. These mobs are
only level 30, but have 3x hps and detect everything except
chameleon and vanish.
* Your clan food is 60 hours.
* You get a clan weapon. It has +1dam and +1 hitroll and if it
is a concussion, whipping, or slashing weapon, it can have ave 10,
(not 10.5), but if it is a piercing or polearm weapon, it can only have
ave 9. It costs 75000.
* You get a nomagic room.
Upgrade 6:
* The Fountain is now level 120.
* You get a second inner guard.
* You get another clan armor. This one has 5 hps, 5 moves ac 5, and +1 dam or
+1 to any stat. It costs 150000.
* You get a clan gem. This gem will cost 100000 and will have
1 color, level 30, 2 colors, level 25, 3 colors, level 20, 4 colors,
level 15, or 5 colors level 10.
* Your clan bag is indestructable.
* 2 rooms inside of the clanhouse now have a 20 percent chance of teleporting
any non-clan members outside of the clan when they enter.
* Another room now summons guards, which are now level 40, 4x hps.
* You get a second outpost, which can be anywhere in the world as long as
it is at least 20 spaces from any other alignment's hometows.
Upgrade 7:
* The fountain is now level 150.
* You get a third inner guard.
* All shops now buy back at 60 percent, instead of 40 pct.
* The armors/weapons/gems in your shops now repop at 12 percent.
* Another room summons guards, which are now level 50, 5x hps.
* You get a mob inside the clanhouse which responds to a tell script
and transports you to a secret part of the clanhouse. This word must be
one of the words in the descriptions of the rooms which are not past it.
Between this mob, and the outer guards, and the inner protector mobs
you have up to this point, you should be able to make it virtually
impossible for people to get to your clanstore and shops and mana
room, assuming that you set things up right. You will be allowed
to move around rooms and set gauntlets for any attackers to run if
they want to get inside of your clanhouse.

Syntax: clear
Syntax: cls
This command will clear up your screen which can get messy with unwanted
line noise or other breakups of text in display.
~
0 BREAK~
Syntax: Break [dir or doorname]
BREAK will allow a player to try and break a door. If you look at the
direction you want to break in, it'll tell you how strong the door is.
If the door breaks open, it'll close on reset. If it's broken, it
is broken for good. Or at least until the next reboot.

incoming bashes and tackles.
~
0 FLURRY~
[1m[34mSYNTAX: [0;37m in combat: flurry
This command allows you to flail about madly in a wild flurry. Because
of the extreme energies required to do so, you will end up losing stamina.
Flurry is natural to everyone, it does not have to be practiced.
~
110 TEACH TEACHER PRACTITIONER~
Guildmasters or Practitioners are special mobs.
These mobiles teach you new skills/spells.
When a mob becomes a practitioner, you must assign skills that it
can teach to characters (and characters can practice there too).
The format is TEACH <NUM>, where <NUM> is the skill number (the first
number) from SLOOKUP 'skill_name'. Okay.. confused? Here is an
example: Fred the practitioner wants to teach dodge and parry.
After I have type PRACTITIONER in medit, I then type:
slookup dodge
(I see the first number is 80, so I type TEACH 80)
slookup parry
(I see the first number is 84, so I type TEACH 84)
press ENTER to see if the correct skills have been entered, and to
remove a skill, simply type TEACH (number of skill to remove).
Example: I don't want Fred to teach dodge, so I type
TEACH 80 (again, and it says, skill removed.)
...Easy! This adds a whole new dimension of "seeking out trainers"
and I worked my ass off too so be grateful!!! :)

0 KICK 'DOUBLE KICK'~
[1m[34mSYNTAX:[0;37m [0;37m kick <victim>
[1m[34mSYNTAX:[0;37m [0;37m in combat: kick
This skill allows you to kick an opponent, inflicting extra damage during
combat. After you have kicked, you usually are a little off-balance and
it takes 2-3 rounds to recover. Wearing appropriate gear may increase
damage you do with your kicks, as well as your level of experience.
Ghosts or flying opponents are impossible to kick for obvious reasons.
Masters of warrior skills gain access to double kick skill which
gives one a chance of getting in a second kick right after the first.
[1m[36mNote:[0;37m Double kick is automatic once practiced.
~
110 'HIDDEN BLOCK'~
With this skill you may use your hands to block incoming kicks, taking no
damage from them. It is automatic once practiced.

[1m[34mSYNTAX:[0;37m [0;37m bash <victim>
[1m[34mSYNTAX:[0;37m [0;37m in combat: bash
This skill allows you to attempt to push an opponent backwards forcefully
and rapidly, causing them to fall to the ground. If successful, the
victim will not be able to do anything in combat except defend.
Success of bashing is based on how well you have practiced bash, your
strength, and victim's dexterity and their levels of appropriate skills.
[1m[36mNote:[0;37m With this skill it is possible that you fall on top of
your victim, in which case you will begin to ground fight.
Masters of warrior skills may use their shields and with practice of
appropriate skill bash their opponent with bigger force, pushing
them on the ground for longer time.
[1m[36mNote:[0;37m Shield Bash is automatic once practiced

0 TACKLE GRAPPLE~
[1m[34mSYNTAX:[0;37m [0;37m tackle <victim>
[1m[34mSYNTAX:[0;37m [0;37m in combat: tackle
This command will allow you to run at an opponent, trying to tackle
them and take fight to the ground. If successful, you will go into
ground fighting mode... If you miss the tackle, you will be off-balance
for several rounds. You may not tackle with a weapon in hand.
The grapple skill will help you tackle better, do more damage in
groundfight, and make it harder for people to escape you when
groundfighting you.
[1m[36mNote:[0;37m Grapple is automatic once practiced.
~
0 GROUNDFIGHT GROUNDFIGHTING 'GROUND FIGHTING'~
It is recommended that you configure the ground fighting option OFF at
low levels. (Type FIGHT to see your combat options).
occasionally in battle, the fighters will miss a bash and trip, or one
will tackle another. The fight will be then taken to the ground.
Ground-fighting is no-nonsense and fast; close in biting and head butting
can kill in extremely short amounts of time. Once you are on the ground,
you perform on instinct. Hard helmets make head-butts harder, masks can
protect against elbows to the face, and many other factors can
increase/decrease damage taken.
If you are fighting multiple opponents, it will become difficult for
them to find a line of attack (since you are twisted up on the ground with
your opponent...) However, if another attacker does find a line of
attack, he/she/it can slash/pierce/whatever you. Since you are entangled
with your opponent, you will not be able to dodge or parry the incoming
attacks. Also, a person assisting a ground fighting player/mob without a
weapon will not punch anymore; he/she/it will now stomp. Stomps also
usually do more damage. In general, it is not recommended that you go to
the ground with multiple opponents.
~
0 MEDITATE MEDITATION~
Syntax: Meditate
This command allows you to sit down and meditate, allowing the gem in
your hand to charge at a greatly increased rate. You will, however, not
receive the massive bonuses to move and hit points that you might receive
if you slept or rested. Typing meditate while already meditating will stop
you meditating and bring you to your feet.

Syntax: Swap
This command switches items in your primary and secondary hands. If two
items are held, the positions exchange. If one item is help, its position
switches between primary and secondary hand.

At the beginning of the game, your hometown guards will be able to stop
raiders. As time goes on, people will become more and more powerful and
your guards will not be able to cut it anymore. To remedy this problem,
you may purchase more powerful guards for your hometowns.
The costs are TBA at this point.

101 BUILDER-RULES BUILDER_RULES~
As a builder you are expected to not interfere at all with morts.
This includes, but is not limited to the following things:
You may not converse with morts either over global channels or with tells.
You must keep all global channels: chat and ctalk and ooc OFF! You
may of course keep the imm channel on.
You may not give anything or take anything from mortals.
You may not go to open areas, and you must not have anything from an
unopened area appear in an open area by any means at all.
You may not link your area to an open area, place an item on a mob, have the
mob walk through the open room, then unlink the room and have your
mort kill the mob to get the item.
You may not load cheater mobs for morts to kill for exp.
You may not give or place any portals of any kind which could take morts
to a room which is hard to get to..even if the portal is from an open
area to another open area.
Do not wander around other peoples areas looking for the secrets and resets
and eq and mobs and soforth.
We can and do log oload and mload. If you spend too much time dicking
around with other people's crap you will be deleted.
Do not make cheater eq or mobs, even if they are just for a
moment..or to "test" something.
Don't attack the other builders. Ever. We do not want to see
anyone on topten.
In fact, unless you are in your own area in oedit medit or redit...and only
working on your own area to make legitimate items, you are
probably breaking a rule.
~
0 RULE RULES~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Violations of these rules may incur penalties such as deletion or
sitebanning or silencing or other random loss of stats and remorts or
items, depending on the nature of the rule being broken and how
pissed the imm dealing with the problem is at that moment.
Don't spam, cheat, abuse bugs, fail to report bugs to admins, tell other
players about bugs, script, use triggers, use speedwalks, attempt to log
in any character other than your own, have more than one character, share
characters, sell characters, swap characters, give away characters,
share passwords, use a stupid password, use the same password here you do
elsewhere, make obscene comments on global channels, spam kill someone,
spam die to someone, engage in clanwars or same-side alignment wars.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The guidelines below will help you stay on our good side, or will help you
enjoy the mud more:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guideline: No reimbursements. If we really mess up and we are planning to
give reimb's, we will post it on the message of the day (help
MOTD, or shown automatically when you enter the game). If there is
no notice in the MOTD consider yourself out of luck. Do not even
think of begging.
Guideline: Have fun. On a pkill mud there always has to be a winner and a
loser; the winner feels great, the loser feels like crap. Just
remember that although you may be the loser one day, you may be
the victor the next.
Guideline: Don't be annoying; it's a privilege to play, not your right. If
you swear, spam, or try to use any bugs to your
advantage, you could get on an admin's bad side (not good).
Guideline: Don't ask admin to reveal secrets, or even common questions about
the game (like... 'am I close to the cave?'). Admin will only
answer questions you have about general game play, etc.
Guideline: Try to help out your side when they need it. If someone on
your side is getting pkilled, and asks for help, try to
help them out. Someday your butt will be on the line and
you will need the help.
Guideline: If you enter a mob and see a hurt mob, it is techinically not
killstealing to attack and kill it. However, you will anger
whoever is attacking it. If you drop equipment on the ground,
it is no longer yours, however picking up equipment from the
ground is a bad idea, since people will generally try to
hunt you down.
Guideline: Don't hog eq. When in groups decide on some way of splitting the
eq you get. Generally the "whoever loots gets it" and then making
sure everyone gets a piece of eq before anyone gets a second
piece of eq method works. If you hog eq or refuse
to share, other people may consider looting your corpse to get
the eq, or they may refuse to help you out when you need it.
Guideline: Help out the newbies on your side. Nothing ruins a mud more than
experienced players who refuse to help out the newbies. Yes, they
ask a lot of stupid questions, and they ask the same questions
over and over, but eventually they will get it. Just make a
little effort to help them and they will be useful someday
when you are in a jam.
~
0 IGNORE~
SYNTAX: ignore
SYNTAX: ignore <playername>
Ignore command allows you ignore any annoying player that you are tired of.
Once ignored, the person on your list wont show up in any channels.
Typing ignore with no argument will show you the list of the player you ignored.

[1m[34mSYNTAX: [0;37m detrap <container>
Using this skill, you may set traps in rooms, on doors and containers.
A trap in room explodes once someone walks in. A trap on door or on
container explodes once someone opens the door or container. This skill
also affects how well you can throw traps and bombs.
You may also remove traps from containers or from other rooms or doors.

0 EXPERIENCE LEVEL XP EXP LEVELS~
Your character advances in power by gaining experience. You need a varying
amount of experience points for each level of experience. To find out how
much you need for the next level, use the 'score' command.
You gain experience every time you hit a mob or player and do damage,
when you cast an offensive spell that damages a player or mob, and when
you kill a monster or are part of a group that kills a monster.
You lose a lot of experience by dying, and also breaking a rule, which
can result in demotion (aka experience or level loss).
Experience awarded by mobs varies depending on how many have been killed,
their level, their extra bonuses, etc. Help GBONUS for group experience
division.

0 NOTE NOTES~
Notes from mortals can only be written and read on noteboards. Notes posted
by immortals can be read anywhere in the game. Its a good idea to type note
each and every time you log in to see if there is any new notes for you.
Here are the commands to use the noteboards:
[1mNOTE[1m[1;30m:[0;37m This command automaticly read the new notes. You can only use that
comand when there is a noteboard i n the room. If there is no noteboard it
will read the new notes posted by immortals.

noteboard. You can only use that command when there is a noteboard in the room.

number of the note you want to read (shown on note list) or if typed alone
it will automaticly read your new notes.
Here are the commands to write notes:
[1mNOTE TO[1m[1;30m:[0;37m This command sets the list of recipients of your note. The recipient
'all' means all players can read your note, and the recipient 'immortal' means
only the immortals can read your note.

[1mNOTE WRITE[1m[1;30m:[0;37m This command will enter the note editor and allow you to write
a note easily and use all the editor's commands such as format.
[1mNOTE +[1m[1;30m:[0;37m This command writes text in your note without using the editor.
[1mNOTE -[1m[1;30m:[0;37m This command will delete the last line of your note.
[1mNOTE SHOW[1m[1;30m:[0;37m This command show you the informations of the note you are writing.
It is sugested to use that command before posting your note so you are sure
that everything is ok.
[1mNOTE CLEAR[1m[1;30m:[0;37m This command clears your entire note.
[1mNOTE POST[1m[1;30m:[0;37m This command post your note on the noteboard in your room. If you
dont type that command after your note is ready, no one will be able to read it.
Although the above looks confusing it is fairly simple to write a note.
Here is a short tutorial:
1) Find a board. Most can be found in towns or in clans.
2) Decide who you want to write a note to and then type [1m[1;30m'[0;37mnote to <recipient>[1m[1;30m'[0;37m.
3) Find a subject line for your note. This should describe the content of
your note. Then type [1m[1;30m'[0;37mnote subject <your subject>[1m[1;30m'[0;37m.
4) Write your note. You can either use the note editor by typing [1m[1;30m'[0;37mnote write[1m[1;30m'[0;37m
or write your note line by line using [1m[1;30m'[0;37mnote + <text>[1m[1;30m'[0;37m. And dont forget to
format your note using the note editor, this makes it a lot easier to read.
5) Once you are done, you can check your note one last time by typing
[1m[1;30m'[0;37mnote show[1m[1;30m'[0;37m and when you are sure this is the note you want to post type
[1m[1;30m'[0;37mnote post[1m[1;30m'[0;37m.

Your armor has a certain "warmth" value associated with it.
The more warmth you have, the warmer you are when it's cold
out and the hotter you are when it's hot out. Cold and warm now
cause a LOT more damage at the extreme ranges and certain
fire and ice spells will make you hotter or colder for a few
minutes...so casting fireball on someone in a desert is almost
like casting wounding on them for a few hours.

~
0 NEWSOCIALS NEWSOCIAL~
It is possible to add new socials into the game, but it is easier
to have you all make them up and send them in, since there are
several things which need to be done. Here is an example of a
social from the socials file:
SocialName nog<tilde>
CharNoArg You nog.<tilde>
OtherNoArg $n nogs.<tilde>
CharFound You nog at $N.<tilde>
OtherFound $n nogs at $N.<tilde>
VictFound $n nogs at you in agreement.<tilde>
CharNFound Nog your head off -- they aren't here.<tilde>
CharSelf You attempt to nog yourself.<tilde>
OtherSelf $n nogs quietly to $mself. What a sicko.<tilde>
Here is a blank social you can use to construct them easier:
SocialName
CharNoArg
OtherNoArg
CharFound
OtherFound
VictFound
CharNFound
CharSelf
OtherSelf
When you make these up, first choose a command to use, and first
check to see if it is used already ;).
Make sure you put a tilde at the end of the line...we cannot put
that in the help file since the help file uses tildes for other
things.
The CharNoArg refers to what happens if you do nog instead of
nog Kizmet or something like that. It is what YOU see.
OtherNoArg is what everyone else sees if you do a social without
a target of the social.
CharFound is what happens if you attempt to inflict the social
on some unsuspecting person and they are standing there...it is
what YOU see in that case. Note that $n refers to a place where
YOUR name will be put in, and $N refers to the name of the target.
OtherFound is where you put the message that everyone else sees
when the person you are doing the social to is in the room.
VictFound is what the target of a social sees when someone socials
them.
CharNFound is what you see when you attempt to use a social on
another player and they are not in the room.
CharSelf is what you see if you social yourself.
OtherSelf is what the other people in the room see if you attempt
to social yourself.
If there are any lines you do not wish to fill in, such as saying
you don't want the social to be used on other people, then fill
in all of those lines with
CharFound none<tilde>
etc. The word none and then the tilde will make it so nothing happens
in that case.
So, if you want to make a social just copy the list of lines below the
lines with all the nogs in them, and put in the sentences you
want. Please keep these things to one line, and remember to put a
tilde at the end of each line, not the actual word <tilde>. Then you
can submit them to loc@erie.wizvax.net, or I think it will work if
they are put into a note too (but make sure the tildes are in there).
Please try to keep it from getting to sick. Believe it or not we DO
have some standards here, and gross or sick socials will not be put
in.
Also, besides the tildes there are no other special characters that
you need to remember or other words to put in.
~
0 WHO~
Syntax: who
WHO shows the people currently in the game. You do not see those

The anonymous command will toggle this feature on/off.

~
0 MANA~
Although each character has a certain amount of natural mana, more powerful
spells, and greater mana amounts can be achieved through the use
of GEMS. Gems add mana, increase mana regeneration rates, and allow you
to cast more powerful spells. Natural mana regenerates VERY slowly.
You cannot cast a spell like fireball with an earthen gem...
there are four types of gems and magic types: Earth, Air, Water, and
Fire. Experiment around to see what spells use which.
Type MANA to see your current mana stats.
See Also: [1m[34mGEMS, MAGIC, ELEMENTS[0;37m
~
0 MAGIC~
Spells are a little more complicated to use here than most places.
Type slist spells to get a list of the spells.
First, you have to be able to learn the spell by being high
enough level, and by knowing all the prerequisites.
Type zpre annih to get an idea of how many spell slots you may
need to learn the powerful attack spells. Most races cannot
cast annihilate since by typing raceinfo, and looking at the
Sk/Sp columns..we see a lot of races with nowhere near 50 spells.
If you wish to be a caster, you should pick one of the races
with lots of spell slots.
Then, the spells may require that you be a member
of certain guilds (see help GUILDS).
Also, when casting a spell, you may need a gem. Each character
has a natural "spell casting level" based on their stats and
other things. Remove all gems and type MANA to see
your natural casting level.
Certain items called gems can increase your casting level (up to
double your natural level, so if you are really stupid, you will
NEVER be able to cast really powerful spells no matter what
gem you are using). Gems also store extra mana (or spell power)
in one or more types. There are 5 types of mana: Air, Earth,
Fire, Spirit, and Water.
If the spell you are casting uses one (or more of those types)
AND a gem you are holding contains the mana type used by the
spell AND your natural spell level plus the gem's spell level
is at least the level of the spell...You can use the gem's mana
to cast the spell.
When you cast a spell, mana is deducted from your natural
mana first, then each gem you are holding is checked in turn.
If the gem has the proper mana type and is powerful enough,
mana is deducted from the first gem, and if that is not enough
from the second, and so forth until all gems of that
color are drained. This will leave gems of different colors,
or mana types, unaffected.
Also, casting spells has precast lag. This means you do not
automatically get spells off and then get a few seconds of wait.
When you want to cast a spell you type c 'spellname' <target or
blank>
Then you are put into a special position where you will wait
a second or two or possibly several depending on the spell.
If you type anything during this time, you stop casting,
and must restart if you wish to cast the spell.
Since it is hard to concentrate on spells while casting,
you cannot take much damage before you lose concentration
and fail to complete the spell. Keep this in mind. If you
are fighting something, and start to cast a spell (especially
if it is another player), it will probably turn and
attack you. Unlike most places here, switching opponents
is as easy as typing "kill <name>" of the thing you want
to fight now. Therefore it will be easy to target you, and
you will find that it is hard to cast spells vs other players.
There are ways to increase your ability to ignore damage
and ways to speed up your casting, and always the option
of using less powerful spells (which take less time to cast)
when you are engaged in combat.
Spells which are attack spells (offensive spells) can be cast
either as single target, or as area spells if you have wizard
tier 2. Single target ranged attack spells can be cast with
tier 3 wizard, and ranged area spells can be cast with tier 5
wizard.
Healing/curative spells can be made into area spells with tier 2
healer, and self only healing curative spells can be cast on others
with tier 4 healer.
Protective/preparatory spells can be cast as area spells (if
they are defensive) with tier 3 conjurers, and protective self
only spells can be cast on one other with tier 4 conjurers.
Tier 5 conjurers can cast any protective/preparatory spell on
all in the room.
Self only spells can never be ranged.
Casting spells as area spells or ranged spells causes the cost of
the spell to go up, and the effectiveness of the spell to
go down. It also makes the effective casting level of the spell
higher thant that of the spell without the area affects.
To make a spell cast as an area spell, just type
c area 'spellname' target
or
c mass 'spellname' target
The ' ' are only necessary if the spell has more than one name,
so syntax like
c mass fly
or
c mass fireball enemy
are fine.

~
0 RESTART~
Restart is a more powerful version of remort. Remorting lets you keep
playing the same race you have been, but once you get to 8 remorts,
if you try to remort again and instead of typing
transform <stat> <stat> <stat>
you do
transform restart yes
You will be taken back to the beginning race selection screen.
You will then be able to pick one of the powerful restart races.
You need only pick this race, then your stats will be set to
21 each plus the restart race bonuses plus any align bonuses you
have. Basically your character is turned into a nekkid newbie.
You are a level 1, 0 remort character. You will have to climb your way
up to the top again, except this time you have a cheater race to
use to do it.
Be very sure of which restart race you wish to use, since you will
not get another chance to restart unless you somehow get back up to
9 remorts again.
~
0 GEMS~
Syntax: hold <gem>
Gems can store a certain amount of mana in one or more of the
five elemental colors: Air, Earth, Fire, Spirit and Water.
Gems also have a certain "level of power" they add to your
natural casting level, to allow you to cast spells more
powerful than those you could normally. In no case will the
bonus level for holding a gem be greater than your natural
casting level. Your "level of power" for any given mana type
is your natural level plus the HIGHEST level of ANY gem of
the correct color you are holding. So, if you have 3 crap red
gems, and a really powerful red gem, you can drain all 4 gems
into highlevel fire spells as long as at least one of the gems
is powerful enough.
For example: If your int and wis are both 10, and you find a gem
with a spell level of 30, and you attempt to cast a level 21
spell, you will fail. Even though the gem level + your natural casting
level (10) is more than 21, the max gem bonus you will get
is 10 no matter how powerful the gem is. It is possible with
properly set up characters to have a natural casting level of 45.
This means that all mortal spells are eventually castable with
gems with 45 levels added.
To start charging a gem up, type MEDITATE.
When you attempt to cast a spell, all gems you are holding are
checked to see if they contain the correct mana type for the
spell, and if they are of high enough level to help you
cast the spell. If they are, their mana can be used to cast
the spell. [1m[34mThis is even true if the mana you need to
cast the spell has to be gotten in dribs and drabs from all
the gems you are holding![0;37m

~
0 RESET-EXAMPLE~
In this helpfile you will be guided through several examples of how to make
resets of mobs and objects.
[1;33mA) Make an item load on a mobile.[0;37m[0;37m
First we have to put in reset for the mob. Using syntax from
help reset we type:
reset [1;30m<[0mreset_number[1;30m>[0m MOB [1;30m<[0mmob_vnum[1;30m>[0m [ [1;30m<[0mchance[1;30m> <[0mmax number[1;30m>[0m ]
Which in our case will be: "reset 1 MOB 17 100 1".
By typing reset we see:
[1m[37m1- Loads a cow (17) in room (max 1 at 100c chance)[0;37m
Now we want our mob to load an item, syntax is:
reset [1;30m<[0mnumber[1;30m>[0m OBJ [1;30m<[0mvnum[1;30m>[0m [ [1;30m<[0mlocation[1;30m>[0m/[1;30m<[0mload_number[1;30m>[0m ] [1;30m<[0mchance[1;30m>[0m.
So in order to make the item load on mob with reset #1 we have to make
it reset #2 and type: "reset 2 OBJ 237 after 100"
By typing reset now we get:
[1;37m1- Loads a cow (17) in room (max 1 at 100c chance)
2- Loads a long sword (237) worn on a cow 100c chance)[0;37m
[1m[33mB) Make an item reset on mob in a room that already has several mob resets.[0;37m
Resets:
[1m1- Loads a cow (17) in room (max 1 at 100
2- Loads a striped cat (19) in room (max 1 at 100c chance)
3- Loads a small dog (18) in room (max 1 at 100c chance)[0m
Now if we want a long sword to repop on the cat all we would have to do is
make that sword the reset slot after cat, which is slot number 3. This will
push down the reset of the dog to 4, by typing: "reset 3 OBJ 237 after 100"
we get:
Resets:
[1m1- Loads a cow (17) in room (max 1 at 100c chance)
2- Loads a striped cat (19) in room (max 1 at 100c chance)
3- Loads a long sword (237) worn on a striped cat 100c chance
4- Loads a small dog (18) in room (max 1 at 100c chance)[0;37m
[1;33mC) Make an item load in the room.[0;37m
To make an item load in the room we type: "reset 1 OBJ 237 room 100".
Reset:
[1m[37m 1- Loads a long sword (237) in room at 100c.[0m

103 DICE AVE_DAM~
This help file explains how dice and weapons work. Weapons have two
dices, (d1)d(d2), like 8d2 etc. That means that you roll dice with (d2)
sides (d1) times. In practice, to calculate average damage you would use
following formula.
av_dam= [ (d1)+(d1)(d2) ]/2
however, a following shortcut is faster to memorize:
av_dam = [ (d1)(d2+1) ]/2
For example, 8d3 weapon has average damage of (8)(3+1)/2 = 16

Shortbows and crossbows should be able to shoot at a distane of 1 room,
long bows at a distance of 3 rooms. While using shortbows and longbows,
both hands are used, however with a crossbow only one hand is used. On
the down side, one cannot improve crossbow's its shooting distance with
keen eye skill or load two arrows in it. Also, crossbows do not take
person's strength into account(person must have enough str to reload a
crossbow) and they are not affected by bow power skill. My mistake, keen
eye does affect crossbows, it increases range of any bow by one.
Crossbows take longer to load with one hand.
