#HELPS
0 GREETING~
{w}Welcome to the Lands of Chaos.
~
0 IMPALE~
When you wield a polearm, you can use the impale skill to land a
devastating blow onto your opponent.
~
0 SHOOT LOAD UNLOAD~
You can now shoot enemies up to 3 rooms away. There are three classes
of bows you can use: shortbow, crossbow, and long bow, with ranges
of 1, 2, and 3 rooms, respectively. To shoot, you must first
wield a bow, and then LOAD the proper type of ammunition. Load takes
no arguments, it just searches for the first arrow of the
proper type in your inventory. You can UNLOAD a loaded weapon if
you wish, too.
In order to shoot someone, just type "shoot <name>" and the game
automatically looks for a person with that name within range.
Then, you will be put into shooting mode and will have to wait
a second or so to aim, then you let loose with your arrow.
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 Tier Tiers~
There are tiers available. As of this writing up to Tier 3. Check
with your fellow players or notes to see if higher levels are in
game yet. Visit any guild of which you are a member and see the
guildmaster and say Tier1, Tier2 and so on. He will Tier you, then
go to the guild armorer and do the same, he will provide you with
your item. The items disapear upon death. Simply revisit the armorer
for replacements.
Tier 1 - 100 warpoints
Tier 2 - 350 warpoints
Tier 3 - 750 warpoints
There is NO loss of warpoints when you Tier and NO loss of warpoints
when you get or replace equipment.
If you are found with Tier items that you did not earn you will be
considered a cheater and abuser of bugs, and will be dealt with per
help rules.
~
0 THROW~
You can throw a piercing weapon, or an axe. It is strongly suggested
that you throw forged weapons only, since this will give you
huge bonuses to damage. The higher end damage from throw is enormous,
but you must consider how hard it is to get the materials to keep
forging them, since thrown objects disappear when they are thrown,
whether they hit the target, or not.
~
0 CHOOSESIDES CHOOSE~
When you first enter the game you are of the neutral alignment,
the choossides command allows you to pick one of the two active
sides within the world. To use it you must be in the room of
choosing and type choose <align>, where align is a number between
1 and 2. To view help on each of the sides use the aligninfo
command.

ours in the next 3 weeks or so.

Please do not confuse us with any other similar game, we are different
with different rules, admin, and players.

~
0 TRANSFORM~
The transform command is what remorts you.
transform <stat> <stat> <stat>
Stat is an abbreviated stat as in STR, CON, DEX, INT, WIS.
You may also specify NONE to forsake a stat at remort if you
max out your stats.
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.
Additional options to remorting are:
transform <stat> <stat> <augment>
This works exactly as above but you give up your third stat in order
to gain an augment, to view available augments type augment list, for
help on what augments are type help augment.
transform race <racenumber>
available only at or below your 2nd remort, you can not transform into a
remort(ASCENDED) race, but you may transform into any other. By undergoing
a race change you give up the stats you would have gained by
remorting. The process of converting may make you lose stats, reallocates
your stats accordingly, and may not put them where you want. This option
is only available when you remort for the first and second time.
~
0 REMORT REMORTING~
Remorting is a little different here. Before ascending the remort system
works almost exactly like other emlens, albeit with a few more options.
To remort you must reach level 56 and then execute the transform command.
You may execute transform before ascending from anywhere in the world.
After ascension additional requirements are needed to remort besides level.
These additional requirements come in the form of warpoints, killpoints,
and levels.
Type remort costs to see the costs. (This will not work before you ascend
as there are no costs)
There is a max of 6 remorts.
To remort, you must find the proper room for your remort...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. Note the room for remorting may be different for each remort,
the amount of power necessary to remort as an ascended character is
quite phenomenal, and it increases with successive remorts.
Once in that room, you must {R}TRANSFORM{w}.
~
0 DONATE DONATION~
Syntax: donate <number> <warpoints/gold> <city/clan>
You must donate 100 gold or 100 warpoints (at least) each time.
Once you donate, it is not recoverable. Upgrades will be done
by the imms by hand once enough points have accumulated.
~
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 DRAWTOP 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~
We are accepting new builders at loc.inetsolve.com 3335. Do not bug the
admins on the player port for a builder.
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.
Please read the FAQ for general building information if you are a
new builder.

101 FAQ~
Section One. #1.
Virtual numbers, or "vnums", are "landmarks" for the location of mobs,
rooms, and objects. Type "count <myname>". If you see an area listed for
you type redit create <lower_vnum> to go to your area. If it already
exists, type go <lower_vnum> to go to your area.
If you are making several areas, please keep the objects and mobiles and
rooms separated so that in case one or more of your areas is not
in the game, the areas that are in the game will be complete.
To edit rooms, use "redit" which is short for "room editor".
You can type "redit" alone or "redit <number>" which will trans you
to room <number> and let you edit it.
For example:
Make a room name by typing name A Dark Forest
Change the sector to forest by typing forest
Writing a desc is just like writing a note. Be sure to type .f
at the end of the desc to format it nicely.
When you want to link a room, there are three ways to do this.
To make a two-way exit between your current room and a new room,
type <dir> dig <new_room_number> This will create and link the room.
If the other room exists, type <dir> link <new_room_number>
If the other room exists and there is an exit in the opposite direction
you are linking (i.e. you do an n link 30425 and room 30425 has a south
exit), then it will not let you link, but you can still make a
one-way exit with <dir> room <new_room_number>. Do not make
cheater one-way rooms from your area to another area, or even
link any rooms in your area with another area. If you make a mistake then
we can undo it, but intentionally linking different areas without
permission is cheating.
PLEASE use the vnums in your area in order starting from the first area
and going to the last. If you make a mistake on a room, you can
always unlink all the exits and redo the name and desc.
Doors are set the following way: <dir> door <dir> closed
<dir> name <name>. Sometimes you want to use <dir> hidden or
<dir> locked but use these sparingly. More is said about this in
help redit.
Please try to use good grammar, and please do not copy room
descriptions more than about 5-10 rooms. I understand we have
lots of big open areas here, but it is kind of lame seeing
100 of the same room descs.
To make a mobile (monster) find the first vnum in your area
and type medit create <vnum>.
Then you will notice the top half of your screen changes.
Now type name dog small doggie
short a small dog
long A small dog is here wagging its tail at you.
Now you have made the "what you see" parts of the mob.
You can make the mob's descritption the same way as
you did for the room, by typing desc and then editing like you
would edit a note. It is suggested that mobiles have descriptions
but it is not required at this point.
type male (or female) to se the sex of the mob.
type help act_bits...these list all of the actions the mob can take.
If you type infrared or flying or mindshield or sanctuary etc...
you set those bits. Type affectlist or affect2 to get a list of those
things.
Set the kind of mob see help mob_types to get a list of this, but for
now type canine.
The mob's level should be 1-20 for easy lowlevel mobs, 20-50 for middling
mobs, 50-100 for single person exp mobs, 100-150 for exp mobs,
150+ for tough eq mobs.
You can set the hps multiplier but please leave it at 10 = 1.0x hps
unless you have a really compelling reason to change it, and even then
only change it for a few mobs in your area at most.
Now type done
Type oedit create <vnum> the same vnum you used for the mob
Now we will make an object.
Type weapon
type name sword short
type short a short sword
type long A short sword slowly rusts on the ground.
type take
type hold
type weight 45
type cost 300
type light_slash
The following are specific to wepaons...all objects have special
obj_values which you can see by typing help obj_values.
type v1 20
type v3 3
type v7 3
type v8 3
You now made a 3d3 light_slash short sword. Weapons have an average damage
of (v7*(v8+1))/2. Never make weapons with an average damage
of more than 10. If you do not understand average damage, don't make
a weapon at all.
type done
This gives you a brief overview of the processes of making things.
See the help files on medit oedit and redit for more information.

0 MOB_POWER~
Don't put more than one exp mob (level 100+) per 50 rooms in your
area.
Don't put more than one midlevel mob (level 50-100) per 25 rooms
in your area.
Basic Rule: Don't make an expwhore cheater area.

~
110 LORE~
lore <spellname> 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.
Lore will not work at all unless it is practiced fully.
~
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.
{R}IF YOU MAKE IT TO THE END OF THE ENCHANTMENT AND SUCCESSFULLY
ENCHANT THE ITEM YOU WILL LOSE ONE HIT POINT PERMANENTLY!!!!!{w}
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).
~
110 BREW~
This does nothing yet. But, it will allow you to create potions which contain
spells and potions which can be used to enchant or prepare other things
to be made. The use of this skill will require a mortar and pestle which
can be forged by use of the forge command.
You hold the pestle, you have the mortar in your inventory with the
required herbs in it. You then type brew <spellname> <spellname>
<spellname> where some of the spellnames are possibly blank. Then,
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. If you fail (due to skill check) you will lose some
of the ingredients. The mortar disappears if you successfully brew
a potion. But, mortars are only one chunk to forge.
Brew will not work at all unless it is practiced fully.

~
0 FORGE MINERAL MINERALS~
There are 15 kinds of metals, which you can use to forge.
You can forge anvils, hammers, breastplates, shields, helmets, sleeves,
gauntlets, belts, pants, boots, rings, earrings, masks, bracelets,
and anklets, kneepads, elbowpads, shortbows, arrows (to go with
shortbows), crossbows, bolts (to go with crossbows), longbows, and shafts
(to go with longbows).
You can also forge daggers, swords, clubs, halberds and flails.
In order to do this, you must have a certain number of "chunks" of the
appropriate mineral type. This number can range from 1 to about 30.
You must be in a room where there is a forge. There must be an anvil in the
room of a mineral type >= the type you want to forge, and you must be
holding a forging hammer of a type >= the type you want to forge.
You must drop the appropriate number of the proper mineral in the room.
Then type forge <mineral> <item> and if all is well (meaning you have
all the required stuff and you are a tinker skilled at forging), you should
get an item created.
There are two cases where you can forge items greater than the hammer
and anvil you have. If you have a hammer and anvil of a certain type,
you can forge a hammer of the next type up.
If you have a hammer of a type, and an anvil of one less power, you can
forge an anvil of the same type as the hammer. This is necessary
since the only items that will pop are brass anvils and hammers. The
rest of them you gotta find the materials to make. Be warned,
anvils and hammers are MUCH more expensive than armors of the same
type.
Whenever an anvil is used to forge a new anvil, the old one disappears.
Whenever a hammer is used to forge a new hammer, the old hammer
disappears.

0 OBJ_POWER~
For every 25 rooms you make, you may have one pop of one armor item which
has up to +5 hp XOR +5 moves XOR +1 hitroll XOR -1 ac apply XOR -1
spellsave. These armor items will have ac 1-3 TOTAL!! unless they are
shields in which case total armor can be up to 6. These items pop at
<=20 percent on level 50+ mobs. (It is possible to make +1kickdam
LEGWEAR or FOOTWEAR at this level too!!)
For every 50 rooms you make...
You may also put in a pop of a standard (or one of your own) weapons
which has average damage of at most 8. If you make your own item,
you may NOT put ANY affects on this item. These items pop at
<= 20 percent on level 50+ mobs.
For every 100 rooms you make you may put in an armor item which is up
to +1apb XOR +1stat XOR +10hp XOR +10moves XOR +2hitroll XOR -2 ac
XOR -2 spellsave XOR +1kickdam. These armor items will have ac 4-6,
except shields which can be up to ac 10. These items pop at <= 1pct
on level 130+mobs. (The exception to this is kickdam boots and
legwear which can have 2-3 kickdam at this point.)
For every 100 rooms you make, You may put in a weapon which is ave
9-10 (including 3d6). These weapons will pop at <=5 percent on level
80+ mobs. These weapons can have 1-2 hitroll and 0-1 damroll...
but do **********NOT********** put ANY other affects on these weapons.
For every 100 rooms you make, you may pop a weak gem (below level
40) on a mob which is level 70-130 at 10-3 percent depending on
the power of the gem. If you don't know which gems are more or less
powerful, wtf are you doing trying to pass yourself off as a builder.
The chips can be at 10 pct and the low level rainbows should be at
3 pct or so. DON'T MAKE NEW GEMS.
You will NEVER EVER EVER make ANY weapon above ave 10 for any reason
in your area. I dont care if its on a level 10000 mob behind a level
2000 mob with a .1 pct key behind a .1 pct portal in an area where
the mobs are all aggro and you couldnt POSSIBLY POSSIBLY ever ever
get to it. Never make weapons that powerful even for testing purposes.
For every 400 rooms you make, your special per 100 room armor item
can have (1 apb XOR 1 stat XOR ((3-4 for legs/feet) or (1 for other)
kickdam)) AND up to (10 hp XOR +2hitroll XOR 10 moves XOR -2 ac apply
XOR -2 spellsave). These pop at <= .3pct on level 150+ mobs.
Also for every 400 rooms you make, you may put in a pop of a LARGE gem
at <=.3 pct on level 150+ mobs.
Dont make potions or scrolls or pills or wands or staves ..those are for
twinks. Also..no spells in fountains..even if its "just for your builder".
You do it, you go poof.
Also...don't just make a bigass area with 800 rooms and put in 2
elite items. We expect you to "fill in " with all the lower powered
crap items that you are allowed before you put in the better stuff.
Also, don't use minuses to try to get around the rules on how
often things can pop or how much the addaffects can be.
In particular, don't ever make +2 apb or +2stat or +1stat +1apb
items. There is no excuse for doing that.

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.
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: {R}ROOM_FLAGS{w}
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 fixdoor
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

0 MINE~
This skill lets you look for metals. You must be holding a pickaxe
and must be in the proper kind of room and you must know the mine skill.
Once a room has been cleared of minerals, no more will appear there until
the next reboot. Once a player has mined too much, they will have
to wait for the next reboot to mine more.

(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 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.

See Also: {R}MAGEMOB{w} to make casting mobs.
See Also: {R}SHOPKEEPER{w} 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
the shop, once too many of that item have been sold.
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.
~
101 MAGEMOB~
To create a spell casting mobile, enter the mobile editor and type
cast_p <% to cast all spells>
then type
casts <exact spell name>
For example to make a mob #1221 cast Tornado of Souls and Fireball at 20%
you would:
medit 1221
cast_p 20
casts Tornado of Souls
casts Fireball
done
These must be set by admins to keep things from getting out of control.
In general the percents will be 5-10 percent of the mob casting the spell,
and the level of the mob should be at least double the spell level which it
will cast.
See Also: {R}SLIST{w} to see which spells mobs can be made to cast.

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.

current "script"/"trigger".
{R}A 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.{w}
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:

101 RESET1~
This help file will (hopefully) explain you how to make mobs and objects
reset by themselves. This is usually done after the area is done, but when
you do it is up to you.
Resets are done by number. This means, if there are 4 total resets in a
room, they will be numbered 1-4. Also note that both objects and mobiles
are room-resets. RESET with no argument will show you the current resets
for the room you are in. RESET 1 will show you the basic syntax for using
the RESET command, but that is confusing, and the reason this help file
exists.
The first type of reset (although maybe not in the RESET 1 display) is a
mob reset. This type of reset will let you automatically load a mob into
the room.
The syntax is: RESET <number> MOB <vnum> [<chance> <max number>].
Let's take it one at a time. <number> is the number of the reset, not
how many to load. This will be more discussed later, and you can usually
just make it 1. MOB isn't a variable, just put MOB to tell that it is a
mob reset. <vnum> is the vnum of the mob you want loaded. <chance> is
the % chance that the mob will load upon reset. <max number> is how many
of the mob can exist in the world; for example, shopkeepers would be 1,
so that two identical 'Bob''s don't load in the room. <chance> and
<max number> are in [ ]'s which mean they are OPTIONAL(you can leave them
out and it will assume 75% chance, and 100 max number.)
For example, let's say you have a small red bat, vnum 10000. You would type
RESET 1 MOB 10000 100 7 - if you want it to always load, and 7 max in
world.
If you want mobs to automatically mount, just set the mounting mob's
riding act3 flag, and put it in the reset list after the mob you want
it to mount.
Same goes for follower mobs.
See Also: {R}RESET2, RESET{w}
~
101 'IREF RESET2' RESET2~
The second type of reset is an object reset. These are more complicated
than mobs, but the syntax is similar.
The syntax is: RESET <number> OBJ <vnum> NONE [chance].
<number>, like mob resets, is the number of the reset, not how many to
load. For now, you can use 1, until you start to load objects on mobs,
or insider each other. <vnum> is the vnum of the object - self explanatory.
<location> is the most complicated part, though simple in the concept.
There are three 'location types':
room This will make the object load _on the ground_.
inside This will make the object load _inside the previous reset item_
<location> See HELP LOCATIONS to see a list. This will make the object
load _on the last reset mob_. ***DO NOT USE THIS ANY MORE****
NONE This should be used in place of location.
Chance is OPTIONAL, since it's in [ ]'s - if you leave it out it assumes
75% chance of loading. There are no total object limits; we don't believe
in first come first serve, everyone has a fair shot at getting anything.
Now, the real hard part is realizing how to set up reset numbers. Generally
put, you don't need to worry about them _unless_ you are loading objects
inside each other, or on mobiles(NPCs.) When you do this, however, it will
load the object on the reset previous to it. For example, if reset #1
loads corpse of an adventurer, you can have reset #2 load a small journal,
inside the corpse by typing RESET 2 OBJ 4003 INSIDE 100. 4003 is the
imaginary vnum for the small journal, and the 100 at the end means chance.
The same concept for mobiles; make the object reset the number AFTER
the mob, and the location is the location on the mob, as in HELP LOCATIONS.

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 Koz~
The Koz rule was invented for problem players. It is a last resort
before your permanent departure from LOC. It is simple. You dont
talk to imms. You dont talk about imms. You dont mention imms in
anyway.
First offense: Silencing for 24 hours.
Second offense: Freeze for 24 hours.
Third offense: You are deleted and sitebanned.
If you were told this rule applies to you, understand we are serious.
We are attempting to give you an oportunity to play, it is your
last chance.
If you need an imm, use a note. And do not chat 'new note imm'.
~
0 ALIGNMENT ALIGN KINGDOM KINGDOMS NATION NATIONS SIDE SIDES ALIGNINFO~
There are no good and evil alignments anymore. There are now several
different alignments, one may be considered good, and the other evil,
but as in real life these definitions really are determined by which
side you're on. Few people view themselves as evil. The one side
which is universally hated by everyone is the Forsaken, and you can
not join this side when you first choose an alignment, you can only
forsake via a special command.
The main differences between alignments are the same-side pk restrictions,
if you are a member of align 1 or 3 you may same-side PK as much as
you wish for whatever reason you wish. Align 1 also suffers from the
affects of an ancient curse and takes a minor amount of damage under
direct sunlight. Align 2 may not pk members of their own alignment
under any circumstances or for any reason as it has been disabled. For
this reason newbies are encouraged to choose Align 2.
Aligninfo or aligninfo <align_name> or aligninfo <align_number>
will give you specific information on an alignment.
~
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...
There are up to 30 random battlegrounds, each one is different, in some
spell affects stick.....
{R}Acid and fire spells do damage items in a BG, so items CAN be lost.{w}
{R}There will be no reimbs of any kind for losses caused from the BG.{w}
~
0 BUTCHER~
This skill can be used to turn a corpse into flanks of edible steak. Rumors
exist that the most skilled butchers can even turn a giant worm corpse into
delicious, tender morsels that could be sold at the finest of inns and pubs.
~
0 WARPOINTS WAR POINTS 'WAR POINTS' WARPOINT~
These points are a good indicated of how successful you have been
in the war. 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.
~
0 DUAL 'DUAL WIELD'~
This skill allows you to successfully attack using two weapons (one
in each hand). Without this skill, you will only use your primary
weapon to attack with. You cannot use two weapons and a shield.
~
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.
Trophy MOBS will show you what mobs you have killed, and how many times you
have killed each one.

0 START STARTING HINTS HINT NEWBIE NEW HELP~
Welcome to the Lands of Chaos. You will note that you are in a room with
only two exits. In a moment you will want to go north and enter mud school
if you are truly new, otherwise you may go south, pick your side and
begin playing immediately.
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 do to improve your character.
One such example is ascension, to find out what this is
type help ascend. Another way is to find and join guilds.
The guilds are sort of like classes, except you can join several
of them eventually. Many skills and spells and profs require
ne or more guilds to learn, and some equipment can only be worn by
certain guilds. Type slist chameleon for an example. You need to
be a member of ALL of the guilds listed to get that spell.
Each guild has been set up to cost a different amount in order to
get to it, and certain guilds do not get along with each other,
for people of exceptional power exceptions are made however.
Once you are actually at a guildmaster, the guild charges a duty
fee. To view this fee, type guild cost. As older players will
tell you you used to be able to buy augments, augments are still
in the game but have been moved to a remort only basis. To view
help on augments type help augment and then help transform.
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.

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

than others to repair. If you wish the repairs to be done, type Repair

0 SWIM SWIMMING~ With
this skill, you will be able to swim in most shallow waters. Deep water,

~ 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 PKILLING PKILL PLAYERKILLING~
This mud is a {R}Pkill mud{w}. 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.

{R}The following was the opinion of Lonath:{w}
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.
{W}Please note:{w}
You are never 'safe' from PKILL.

0 MULTI MULTI-PLAYING MULTIPLAYING MULTI_PLAYING MULTIS~
Multi-playing or multi-players are not allowed period!!! Anyone caught
Multi-playing will be dealt with and that could mean they have all of their
characters deleted. Multi playing includes having more then one character
(regardless of the number of email addresses you have) dropping eq from
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 {B}MEGA {R}SWORD {Y}OF {W}INSTANT
{G}DEATH{w}. 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 {W}POWERFUL{w} 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 INVESTIGATE INVESTIGATION~
This skill allows you to investigate a corpse and determine both the reason
of death, and who looted the corpse. With mobs, it is impossible to deter-
mine the reason of death (too easy to track people).
There is a delay on this command. If you succeed (your make the skill roll),
the reason of death and looters (if any) will be revealed. If not, you
will simply be unable to determine anything from the investigation. Finding
that someone looted your corpse against your will/knowledge is against the
rules. Please report it to Orin, and measures will be taken.
The person whose corpse it is will never show up as a looter.

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 RESET1~
This help file will (hopefully) explain you how to make mobs and objects
reset by themselves. This is usually done after the area is done, but when
you do it is up to you.
Resets are done by number. This means, if there are 4 total resets in a
room, they will be numbered 1-4. Also note that both objects and mobiles
are room-resets. RESET with no argument will show you the current resets
for the room you are in. RESET 1 will show you the basic syntax for using
the RESET command, but that is confusing, and the reason this help file
exists.
The first type of reset (although maybe not in the RESET 1 display) is a
mob reset. This type of reset will let you automatically load a mob into
the room.
The syntax is: RESET <number> MOB <vnum> [<chance> <max number>].
Let's take it one at a time. <number> is the number of the reset, not
how many to load. This will be more discussed later, and you can usually
just make it 1. MOB isn't a variable, just put MOB to tell that it is a
mob reset. <vnum> is the vnum of the mob you want loaded. <chance> is
the % chance that the mob will load upon reset. <max number> is how many
of the mob can exist in the world; for example, shopkeepers would be 1,
so that two identical 'Bob''s don't load in the room. <chance> and
<max number> are in [ ]'s which mean they are OPTIONAL(you can leave them
out and it will assume 75% chance, and 100 max number.)
For example, let's say you have a small red bat, vnum 10000. You would type
RESET 1 MOB 10000 100 7 - if you want it to always load, and 7 max in
world.
If you want mobs to automatically mount, just set the mounting mob's
riding act3 flag, and put it in the reset list after the mob you want
it to mount.
Same goes for follower mobs.

~
101 RESET~
SYNTAX: reset area
reset room
Useage: To reset the entire area again.
To reset just the room you are in.
See Also: {R}RESET1, RESET2{w}
~
101 RESET2~
The second type of reset is an object reset. These are more complicated
than mobs, but the syntax is similar.
The syntax is: RESET <number> OBJ <vnum> NONE [chance].
<number>, like mob resets, is the number of the reset, not how many to
load. For now, you can use 1, until you start to load objects on mobs,
or insider each other. <vnum> is the vnum of the object - self explanatory.
<location> is the most complicated part, though simple in the concept.
There are three 'location types':
room This will make the object load _on the ground_.
inside This will make the object load _inside the previous reset item_
<location> See HELP LOCATIONS to see a list. This will make the object
load _on the last reset mob_. ***DO NOT USE THIS ANY MORE****
NONE This should be used in place of location.
Chance is OPTIONAL, since it's in [ ]'s - if you leave it out it assumes
75% chance of loading. There are no total object limits; we don't believe
in first come first serve, everyone has a fair shot at getting anything.
Now, the real hard part is realizing how to set up reset numbers. Generally
put, you don't need to worry about them _unless_ you are loading objects
inside each other, or on mobiles(NPCs.) When you do this, however, it will
load the object on the reset previous to it. For example, if reset #1
loads corpse of an adventurer, you can have reset #2 load a small journal,
inside the corpse by typing RESET 2 OBJ 4003 INSIDE 100. 4003 is the
imaginary vnum for the small journal, and the 100 at the end means chance.
The same concept for mobiles; make the object reset the number AFTER2
the mob, and the location is the location on the mob, as in HELP LOCATIONS.

This is a type of parrying skill used by mages. It requires high int and wis
to use, and it uses 1 mana each time it blocks a hit. It can be configured
on and off by use of the autoblink command.

possible practice percent. Use of this "spell" is automatic once you
have it practiced high enough.
{R} DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CAST THIS SPELL! It is not a spell in the

0 MAP MAPPING~
Mapping is available only to those who are members of the Ranger's guild.
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 {R}noibm{w} and you
will get standard ASCII characters.
There is also a feature called {R}mapspam{w} 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 {R}viewmobs{w} 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 {R}viewplayers{w}. 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 mapspam 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 mapspam
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.

SLEEP puts your character to sleep, allowing him/her to regenerate.
STAND makes your character stand (and wake if you are sleeping).
WAKE makes your character wake and stand if you are asleep.
SNEAK is based on how well you have practiced sneak, and will allow you

Syntax: ooc <string>
This powerfull channel allows a player to communicate with players of the
opposite allignment. It encourages pkilling, gloating, and trash talking.
You must be level 60 to use this channel. Broadcasting your voice to the
opposite alignment takes a lot of energy and will cost you 50 movement
points.
~
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 ASSASSIN~
The Guild of Assassins is a shadowy brotherhood of stealthy killers.
When you join this guild, you will be able to backstab and circle
for significantly more damage than before. However, the assassins
do not get along with very many other guilds, so choosing this path
will restrict you in the use of magic. You will also gain a point of
dexterity when you join this guild.
~
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 CONJURER~
The Guild of Conjurers is where you will learn to cast lasting magical
affects more effectively. When you join this guild, you will notice that
your attack spells are a little more powerful, and your protective spells
will last a little longer, and be a little more powerful. You gain a point
of intelligence when you join the Guild of Conjurers.
~
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 CLASS CLASSES~
We don't really have classes on LoC, although the type of race you choose
will determine the number of spells and skills you can learn, and thus
determine what your character can be like. Also, we have guilds which
allow access to certain spells and skills and proficiences, but
you can join several guilds eventually, instead of being restricted

0 GUILD GUILDS~
Guilds are organizations of professionals which share common knowledge about
certain trade secrets and lore about the world. Guilds are not the same as
teachers of skills, although some guildmasters undoubtably teach skills.
When you join a guild, you gain certain advantages for joining, but there
is a price. The guilds are not to be confused with clans, which are
very secretive, tightly knit groups. Guilds are open to people of all
alignments and races, and only require that you accumulate certain fees
before joining. There are currently ten guilds in the world:
Warrior, Healer, Wizard, Thief, Assassin, Tinker, Ranger, Conjurer,
Mystic, Battlemaster.
In order to join a guild, you must first find the guildmaster for that
guild. These guildmasters may be found in large cities, or small towns,
or perhaps underground in a laybrinthe or out in the wilderness. Before
you go there, you must make sure you have the required price of joining.
Typing Guild Cost will show you the requirements. The remort requirements
and the level requirements are not things you lose, merely things you must
have already. You will lose the costs next to the Gold and Wps and Kps
columns for these guilds as you join. When you are actually at a guildmaster,
you may type Guild Join, Guild Info, Guild Status, or Guild Leave. You are
permitted to join any combination of guilds you wish, as long as you
have the price for the next guild based on the number of guilds you have
already joined.
Guild Costs
Guild Join (at guildmaster)
Guild Leave (at guildmaster)
Guild Replace (at the guildmaster you want to join - 100 wps and 600 gold)
{R} IF YOU GUILD REPLACE YOU WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR SKILLS AND SPELLS AND
PROFS!!!!! THIS IS BECAUSE LAMERS REFUSED TO DROP THEIR GUILD GOTTEN

abuse their power.
6. You must have 250 Warpoints, which are not lost when
starting the clan.
7. A Fee of 500 gold coins will be charged to the clan leader to start

0 CLANWARS CLANWAR CLANFIGHT CLANFIGHTS~
Due to our own shady pasts, the Admin have decided to treat fighting
between clans as a sometimes necessary evil. Raiding clanhouses and
the like will be ignored, but whities pkilling members of other whitie
clans will not be tolerated.
~
0 CITY CITIES CITYGUARDS GUARD-UPGRADES CITY-UPGRADES HOMETOWNS~
City Upgrades are no longer allowed.
~
0 UPGRADE-BANK UPGRADEBANK UPGRADE_BANK WPBANK CITYBANK~
City Upgrades are no longer allowed.
~
0 AUGMENTATIONS AUGMENTS AUGMENT~
Augmentations are little enhancements your character can get (for a price.)
The effects of these enhancements are hidden, and do not generally show
up in the score command or in any other place, but they do affect the
outcomes of various activities. You must try out these enhancements and
find out from others exactly what they do.
~
0 ALIAS ALIASES MACRO MACROS~
Syntax: alias
Syntax: alias {<characters>"} {<does-this>}
Syntax: alias <number> deletes the alias.
A '*' character in an alias will be considered as if you pressed enter.
A '%' character will be translated as an argument. For instance:
Example: alias {pb} {put % in backpack}
from now on, 'pb waterskin' would be expanded to 'put waterskin in backpack'.
Example: alias {5} {sleep} -will make you sleep after you type: 5 <enter>
Example: alias {rs} {rest} -will make you rest after you type: rs <enter>
Example: alias {yum} {get bread*eat bread*smile}
Example: alias {k} {kill}
Aliases are used so you don't have to type so much. It also enables you
to do multiple tasks such as: backstab, flee, run south.
-Note: if you give an argument to the alias, it will use it as an argument
to the last command in the alias. (i.e., using the 'k'='kill'
example, 'k bear' will come out as 'kill bear'.
~
0 CLEAR CLS~
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.
~
0 STEADINESS~
This skill will help you to avoid getting tackled and bashed and
might even help reduce damage from combat hits.
~
0 FLAIL~
Flail is a more powerful form of flurry which you can use only
when you are very hurt. It will remove a little more of your stamina
than the flurry skill does.
Your current strength must be at least 30 for flail to work.
~
0 FLURRY~
Syntax: Flurry
Flurry is a combat skill that allows you to flail about madly in a
wild flurry. Because of the extreme energies required to go berserk
like this, you will end up losing many stamina points. So... if you are
planning to run after the battle, this is not a good option. Anyone can
flurry with or without a weapon. This skill is natural to everyone; it
does not have to be learned or practiced.
~
0 TEACH 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 BALANCE CONVERT WITHDRAW DEPOSIT BANK 'BANK COMMANDS'~
Syntax: Balance
Syntax: Convert
Syntax: Deposit <amount of copper> or ALL
Syntax: Withdraw <amount of copper> or ALL
Note: In withdrawing money (IE using the bank), the bank will keep a small
surcharge (for keeping your money safe). All transactions are in copper.
1 silver= 10 copper, 1 gold = 10 silver, etc..
Convert will convert large amounts of coins into smaller, more valuable
coins. EXAMPLE: you are carrying 50 gold, and it's weighing you
down. Go to a bank, type convert, and they will exchange those 50
gold for 5 platinum. No surcharge.
See also: {W}STORE{w}
~
0 KICK 'DOUBLE KICK'~
Syntax: Kick <victim> or in combat, just 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 well enough to cast, flee or perform
another kick. The power of your kick depends on your level; at low
levels kick is next to useless, at high levels it can be invaluable.
It is impossible to kick ghosts or flying opponents for obvious reasons.
Double kick automatically gives you a chance of getting a second kick
right after the first.
~
0 BLOCK~
This skill block ssome incoming kicks. It is automatic once practiced.
~
0 AWARENESS~
The awareness spell allows you to see sneaking people who enter the room,
and allows you to notice people entering the room while you sleep.
~
0 ACCURACY~
This skill helps you hit a little more often. It is automatic
once practiced.
~
0 BASH SMASH~
Syntax: bash <victim> or in combat, just 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 attack for 1-2 rounds (only defend).
Success of bashing is based on how well you have practiced bash, your
strength, and the victim's dexterity and dodge ability.
NOTE: With this skill it is possible that you fall on top of your victim,
in which case you will begin to ground fight, so IF YOU WANT TO AVOID
GROUNDFIGHTING AT ALL COSTS, DON'T BASH!!!!
Smash is an upgrade of bash that automatically causes damage
sometimes, and keeps your opponent bashed longer sometimes.
See Also: {R}GROUNDFIGHTING FIGHT{w}
~
0 TACKLE~
This command will allow you to run at an opponent, trying to tackle
him/her/it and take them to the ground. If successful, you will go into
ground fighting mode... High dexterity helps, but it is still very
difficult to tackle an opponent even if your dexterity is high. If you
fail the tackle, you will be off-balance for the next 3-4 rounds, so if
you are planning on fleeing soon, it is not wise to tackle. You may not
tackle with a weapon in hand, or against someone with a weapon for safety
reasons... they could chop you to shreds upon entry, and/or you could
hurt yourself badly tackling with a sword in your hand.
See Also: {R}GROUNDFIGHTING{w}
~
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.
~
0 EXCHANGE SWAP~
Syntax: Exchange
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.
~
0 CITIES CITY-UPGRADES CITY-UPGRADE~
No longer allowed.
~
0 GLANCE~
Syntax: glance <victim>
This command will let you see only the condition of a mob or players.
~
0 SEARCH~
Syntax: search or search <direction>
Based on how well you have practiced the search skill, you might find objects
other players have hidden in the room, or hidden doors' names.
See Also: {R}HIDE{w}
~
0 SPAM NOSPAM~
Syntax: nospam
Syntax: spam
This command is essential in large groups with anything slower than a 14.4k
modem. Nospam mode only shows the hits that take place during combat,
and later, will cut down the general spam associated with groups.
To bring back SPAM mode, type spam. There are THREE levels of spam.
FULL, MODERATE and NOSPAM. Use spam command to toggle between them.
~
0 ANSI COLOR~
Syntax: config ansi
Syntax: ansi <channel> <color name>
Syntax: ansi <channel> <color index number>
For those of you with terminals which support ANSI Color codes, the 'ANSI'
command can be used to configure ansi for your system.
Here is a list of the channel names (the capitalized column to the right) and
all the color names and their respect index numbers (on left):
00 black 08 dark_grey 17 flashing SAY
01 blue 09 light_blue 19 normal TELL
02 green 10 light_green 16 bold OOC
03 cyan 11 light_cyan 18 inverse CLANTALK
04 red 12 light_red YELL

0 LOOTING 'CORPSE LOOTING'~
Good players should not loot other good players corpses. If that is the game
you want to play you should play an evil character. If someone loots your corpse
and will not give you back your eq, do not cry to the gods, form a group and get your
eq back!
~
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 silencing,
loss of levels or presets, or other penalties depending on the nature
of the rule being broken. Details of the types of penalties to
expect are stated after each rule. However, we do reserve the right
to modify penalties as we see fit based upon the circumstances.
Severe penalties will not be handed out until two Imms have discussed
the matter and agreed upon the outcome. There may be a temporary
freeze until another Imm can be consulted.
Rule: General cheating, such as bug abuse, playing multiple characters,
or attempting to log on to other players characters will result
in immediate deletion with no discussion. If you feel the need to
reroll and argue with the immortals expect a siteban.
Rule: Chat, Tell and Pray are no longer an acceptable method to contact the
immortals regarding gameplay issues. If you have a suggestion on
changing the mud then post a note to immortal. It will be read and
carefully considered by the immortals, but you may not get an answer
since that just leads to never ending debates. We make the best decisions
we can based upon what is best for the mud as a WHOLE.
Pray is for emergancy use ONLY, such as reporting cheating.
Chat and Tells are for social chatting with the immortals only. Expect
several warnings followed by silencing.
Rule: Chats and notes such as 'This mud sucks' 'That is stupid' and
'The imms here are gay' will result in swift and severe penalties. We
spent and are spending a great deal of time and money on this mud, we
do so to provide an enjoyable experience for everyone. If you are not
enjoying yourself, then leave. You will not be allowed to ruin the game
for other people. You will be warned, then silenced and then frozen.
The progression of penalties will happen VERY quickly. So if you get a
heads up from an immortal that your comments are out of line you need to
be VERY careful what you type before you hit the enter key again.
Chat trash talk is over, as of now. This includes vulgar or racial comments.
A word to the wise, what you consider vulgar or racial does not matter, it
is what the immortals consider vulgar or racial. Dont give the admins crap,
our decisions are final. If you get frozen or silenced and reroll to argue
you will be deleted for multiplay/aurguing.
Rule: Scripting is not allowed. Triggers and speedwalks are allowed. Yes
a group of triggers can be put together to make a script and it will
be considered a script for the purposes of this rule. So, scripting
XP or script practicing skills and spells will be violations, for
example. A trigger to bash enemy will not. Loss of levels and presets
are to be expected if you script XP or spells.
Rule: Do not spam kill one person. Sometimes people give up. Leave. You will
loose most if not all of your warpoints, we are not going to sit
here and do math figuring out how many warpoints you got from spam
killing and just take those away. We have better things to do with our
time than clean up your mess. If you do it repeatedly you will be
deleted.
Rule: Do not spam die to the members of the opposite alignment. This will
result in deletion.
Rule: Same side killing. The mud is now set up so that only foresaken and
evil can attack their own players. However, this is not a license
to harrass other players. If you have a dispute that you feel you
need to settle via a same side kill that is your choice. But repeated
killing, attacking or spamming a player of the same alignment will
fall under player harrasment and the immortals will step in. Since
this is always a difficult area to cover you will be warned to cease
the harrasement before any stronger measures are taken.
In any case you may not attack a player of the same align unless they
have a red P-flag or have at least one remort. If you use a game bug
to force them into a P-flag you will be considered a cheater and
dealt with acording to the bug abuse rules at the begining of this
document.
If you do not have the P-flag and you are attacked and want to
report it, write a note or email to the imms. You must not have
the P-flag at the time the imms deal with the person you are
accusing. You must report it fairly promptly, say within a day
or two. There are no "I want to report it but be nice to them"
options. If you report it, and they did it, they get punished.
If you "take it back", you get punished so you had better be
sure you want to report this.
If you play games with the P-flag and use it to screw people
on your own side, because they cannot attack you, you will be given
the P-flag.
Rule: Do not let anyone know your password and don't pick stupid
passwords like psipsi or wrapper. If you have a password that
some of your friends know, change it. The only person who may
log in a character is the person who originally made it.
Do not roll characters for other people. Do not log in your
friends' characters.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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: Don't suggest ideas to admin online. The best thing to do is to
email loc@landsofchaos.com, email a specific admin, (see help Flatline,
Structure, Tonik) or leave a note on the board in town to 'admin', 'gods',
or immortal.
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~
Format: Ignore <annoying person's name here>
Ignore with no argument will show you who you are currently ignoring.
You may ignore up to 10 people, and when ignored, no says, gossips,
tells, replies, or anything will be seen from them. This can be a life
saver with poor-sport newbies who get on to annoy you because you killed
their character :) ALWAYS report spamming characters through a note,
telling at what time they spammed you, and exactly what happened. Often
spammers will be immediately site banned.
{W}NOTE{w}
Ignoring an admin is not an option.
~
0 TRAPSET TRAPS TRAP~
You use the trapset command to set traps in rooms..but you must be
holding a trap to do this. People more attuned to the outdoors or
mechanical things, or just general sneakiness help to set traps
properly.
trapset by itself will put a trap in the room.
trapset <direction> traps a door.
trapset <container> traps a chest or container.
~
0 DETRAP~
This removes traps from a room or door or chest.
detrap room removes a trap in the room.
detrap <direction> removes a trap from a door.
detrap <object> removes a trap from a chest or container.
~
0 LAMER~
If you act like a lamer, trying to avoid a rule by looking for some loophole,
or if you are in general a complete asshole yo your side because you can
get away with it due to your large levels or clan, you will be awarded
the lamer flag. You won't like this, so try not to be an asshole.

~
0 DEATH~
Character death is not permanent. However, it is not a good thing...
1) Any spells which were affecting you are removed.
2) You lose experience points for dying. When you die, the experience
points you lose are based on your total exp points.
3) You will be transported back to a location by your main city.
4) If you were killed by a mob, you will lose 1 percent skill level from a
random 20 percent of your known skills.
Some myths/differences from other muds:
1. You can never lose a level from dying at Lands of Chaos.
2. Don't count on always getting your corpse back.
Please NOTE: You can die if you don't eat or drink, and from freezing!
~
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 CAST~
Syntax: cast <spell> <target>
Before you can cast a spell, you have to practice it. The more you practice,
the higher chance you have of success when casting. Casting spells costs mana.
The mana cost decreases as your level increases.
The <target> is optional. Many spells which need targets will use an
appropriate default target, especially during combat.
If the spell name is more than one word, then you must quote the spell name.
Example: cast 'cure critic' frag. Quoting is optional for single-word spells.
You can abbreviate the spell name.
When you cast an offensive spell, the victim usually gets a saving throw.
The effect of the spell is reduced or eliminated if the victim makes the
saving throw successfully.
See also the help sections for MAGIC, and also please read HELP MANA.

fighting, and will attempt to FLEE from time to time.
In order to RESCUE successfully, you must practice the appropriate skill.
You may ASSIST someone at any time. You will begin to help fighting.
You may GUARD another player and this will essentially cause you to
attempt to rescue them each combat round. It is dependent on how well you
have the guard skill learned, and how many people are fighting you.

Syntax: sleep
Syntax: stand
Syntax: wake
These commands change your position. When you REST or SLEEP, you
regenerate hit points, mana points, and movement points faster.

TELL sends a message to one awake player anywhere in the world.
REPLY sends a message to the last player who sent you a TELL. REPLY will work

0 NOTE NOTES~
Syntax: note list
Syntax: note write
Syntax: note read <number>
Syntax: note read all
Syntax: note subject <string>
Syntax: note to <to-list>
Syntax: note clear
Syntax: note send
Syntax: note show
Syntax: note post
Syntax: note remove <number>
NOTE LIST lists notes which you can read. NOTE READ reads one or all notes.
NOTE WRITE will start the online text editor so you can enter a note easier
than using note +.
NOTE SUBJECT sets the subject line of a new note. NOTE TO sets the list of
recipients. The recipient ALL means all players, and the recipient IMMORTAL
means all immortals. Use NOTE + to write message lines onto the note, one line
at a time. NOTE SHOW shows your note in progress; NOTE CLEAR starts over.
NOTE POST or NOTE SEND posts your note for reading. Posting is not automatic.
NOTE REMOVE removes the entire note if you are the sender, or just removes you
from the to-list if you are a recipient.
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. I want to send a note to fred
so I will type {W}note to fred{w}
3) Add a subject line to your note. I want to tell palio that I like the
mud here. so I would type {W}note subject Great mud!{w}
4) Write the note. Type {W}note write{w}. This will take you into an
editor. {W}.h{w} will get you a help list. Some other common commands you
will need are {W}.c{w} clears all texts {W}.f{w} formates the text {W}@{w}
will end the message.
5) Once done I want to post the note to the board. I would type {W}note post{w}
Your note is now posted and can be read by palio.
{R}NOTE{w}
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. Notes posted by players MUST be read on the board it
was posted on.
Notes which are of the pkill variety and are just flames must
have the word flame or the word pkill in the to list. This is so
the imms don't have to read your notes all day.
~
0 YELL CHAT~
Syntax: yell <message>
Syntax: Chat <message>
CHAT uses up a few moves, but can be heard by all fellow players.
YELL sends a message to all players within a certain radius. The
radius can be made smaller by noisy rooms. At the moment, noise does NOT
travel up or down :)
Swearing in any form on chat or yell will {W}NOT{w} be tolerated.

See also Help Warmth
~
0 WARMTH~
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 AREAS COMMANDS SOCIALS~
Syntax: areas
Syntax: commands
Syntax: socials
AREAS shows you all the areas in the game, with the author's name.
COMMANDS shows you all the (non-social) commands available to you.
SOCIALS shows you all the social commands available to you. See
Help {R}NEWSOCIALS{w} for information on submitting socials to the
mud.
~
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
people of the opposite alignment, and it is likely that there are
many people on your side who are invisible and they will
not appear on the who list either.
If you do not want your level shown in the who list, type "anonymous".
The anonymous command will toggle this feature on/off.
~
0 BRIEF~

the user to construct a small, temporary long-distance radio in the ear
of the user by mentally reconstructing oxygen molecules into a super-excited
energy state. Only those knowledgeable in this skill know what effect this
has on the user.
~
0 BRANDISH QUAFF RECITE ZAP~
Syntax: brandish
Syntax: quaff <potion>
Syntax: recite <scroll> <target>
Syntax: zap <target>
BRANDISH brandishes a magical staff. QUAFF quaffs a magical potion (as opposed
to DRINK, which drinks mundane liquids). RECITE recites a magical scroll; the
<target> is optional, depending on the nature of the scroll. ZAP zaps a
magical wand at a target. If the target is not specified, and you are fighting
someone, then that character is used for a target.
You must HOLD a wand or a staff before using BRANDISH or ZAP.

~
0 GBONUS~
experience each member gets = (MOB_EXP * (1+(members/10))) / members
There are slight bonuses for killing higher level mobs with smaller groups.
With this equation, you can see a group of 15 gets 2.5 times the mob
experience, only it is divided by 15. A group of two gets 1.2 times the
mob experience, divided by two, plus a small "small-group" bonus
depending on the level mob they kill. Many mobs in the game are only
killable in large groups.

107 SEDIT SEDIT_FLAGS~
SEDIT means spell edit. To edit a spell either type sedit create
<name>, or sedit <name>. Sometimes you will have more than one spell
with the same first word, like heal light, heal serious etc...and in
this case you will need to type sedit 'heal light' to make sure you
are getting the right spell. Inside of sedit there are several things
to set. First, there is the spell mana and level, and the casting time
(10 time = 1 combat round). Then there are the mint and mwis which set
the minimal int and wis you need to prac it fully. There are also the
problems of setting the correct mana to cast the spell. Just type all,
fire, earth, water, air or any combination of those to set the allowed
mana types. Then be sure to set whether the spell is offensive
defensive or self. You also must set the prereqs by typing, for
example: pre1 Refresh or Pre2 Shocking Grasp. Then you must set the
location where the spell damages if it affects something besides just
hps.
To set the amount of damage the spell does to hps type damg <formula>
and look at the chart at the end of this help file to get the things
you can put into the formula. It will tell you all the things you can
set to make a spell damage formula. Then if you want the spell to
affect something besides hp, such as temporarily lowering or raising a
stat, you jsut tpye in that stat lke dam or moves or hp or str. Then
it will appear above the damg thing that has the formula. Then you
want to type duration <formula>, which tells how long you want the
spell to affect that person. Then you want to type in modifier
<formula> which tells how much the spell will affect the person. Then,
if you want to blind the person or poison the person or make them
invisible, type in thsoe flags just as you would for a mob flag. So
for example, the invisibility spell would need to have invis typed in
for the modifier.
If you want to make a spell that does something different, look at the
chart below to get the other allowable flags. Do not forget to set
adds_moves for refresh spells and heals_dam for healing spells. Also
be careful about the all_in_room and the only_not_group flags, to make
sure those area spell hit only the people they are supposed to.

101 SPEC_HELP SPEC-PROCS SPEC_PROCS MOB_PROCS~
To set a mob that casts defined spells, or that flurries/tackles/kicks
more than "spec_warrior" does, you must perform the following in MEDIT.
casts <spellname> - This sets a spell for the mob to cast. A mob may cast
up to 10 unique spells. To remove a spell from the list,
simply type casts <spellname> again, and <spellname>
will be removed. Defensive or target_self spells, the
mob will cast on him/herself. Offensive spells, the
mob will use the name of the character he/she is
currently fighting. Mobs are not delayed by spells,
and have unlimited mana. Mobs will not cast a spell
that is higher level than the mob itself. See
cast_p below for more info.
kicks - Toggles whether or not the mob will kick during battle. Since
mobs are not delayed by kick, please see warrior_p, below.
flurries - Toggles whether or not the mob will flurry during battle. Since
mobs are not delayed by flurry, please see warrior_p, below.
A mob with less than 40 movement will not flurry.
tackles - Toggles whether or not the mob will tackle during battle. Since
mobs are not delayed by tackle, please see warrior_p, below.
warrior_p <#> - This sets at what percent the mob performs a warrior command.
100% would mean the mob would perform his warrior command(s)
every round... it's obvious that this should be set low.
cast_p <#> - This sets at what percent the mob casts a spell. 100% would
mean the mob casts a spell EVERY combat round. It's obvious
that this should be set low.
NOTE: TO VIEW THIS INFO, YOU MUST TYPE "mindex <vnum>". This info does NOT
appear in the medit window. (Same with skills taught).

sense as they once were. When a side has become weakened often they
will attempt to recruit from this pool of talent. Only some of the
most powerful warriors are capable of actually casting off their
vows and joining this "alignment."

you gained in your lesser form goes away. Your stats go back to what
they were when you started and are augmented by whatever form your race
