Questions / Comments send email to : {R}6047@6047.com{w} ~ 0 IMPALE~ When you wield a polearm, you can use the impale skill to land a devastating blow onto your opponent. ~ 0 IMMRULES~ This is the list of things we have come up with to set guidelines for the immortal staff so we don't go overboard on things. -Equipment below the belt dosn't have any type of apb whatsoever on it. That will be for the belt up. -No 2 apb items, this includes weapons, auras, etc. -Plus HP items must be limited to 5 hitpoints, which is very good. If it has 10, it is super elite and only has one in the game. So +5 is really really good, +10 is the best in the game nothing else can beat it. -AC on items need to remain fairly low. No 10/10/10/10 ac on items. A 0/3/5/0 would be an elite item. Nothing more then 10 AC total on an item. -No more then 5 movements on an item. -No +stat items unless all immortals agree on them. -No more then 4 hit roll on an item. -6d3 for slashes is the HIGHEST and is going to be EXTREMELY rare. 9d2 for daggers is EXTREMELY rare. This is the best in the game. A 5d3 will be the very good weapons (or a dice equal to 15). -No race changes, alignment changes, or equipment handouts. This includes tokens in quests, there are no more race change, warpoint, or level tokens in quests. -Quests will be limited to once a month and there will be no extremely elite items unless all immortals agree and are involved in the quest. -We need to stay out of alignment affairs. So if they ask how the splitting order is going to be, don't answer it. We are not mediators we are upkeep of the mud to make sure it runs smooth. No more immortal interfence unless its a bug or mud wide problem. -If there is a new player, Immortals are obligated to speak to that new mortal and explain the game to them. -If we build clanhouses, they are to remain extremely close to homelands and not anywhere near central areas or high load areas. Bottom line, they are to stay in homelands. -Good equipment should be fairly far away from both homelands, good experience areas should be far away from homelands, more centralized to focal more on good PK. -No reimbursements period. Unless it was the fault of the immortal. -No high damage spell should do more then 400-450. Level 25 spells should DECIMATE/OBLITERATE MAX. Level 35 spells Annihilate. Level 45 Spells should Dissolve, Level 55 spells Liq/Errad, level 65 spells Vaporize, Level 75+ spells atomize. -Area affect spells will do considerably lower damage and will not do anymore then a mass vaporize, a possible chance of an atomize. MORE TO COME ~ 0 AGILITY~ This spell increases your combat readiness. ~ 0 'HOLY AURA'~ This spell surrounds your body with a massive aura. ~ 0 'Animate Sword'~ This spell summons a small sword for your followers. ~ 0 'Remove Plague' This spell will remove the viscious plague from whoever may carry this ~ 0 'Plague Ward' This spell will protect against the plague. ~ 101 IMMORTALRULES~ 1. No Race Changes 2. No reimbursments unless immortals fault, period. 3. No "free equipment" 4. No "hookups" 5. No playing mortals. 6. No cheating. 7. No back exits for clans, one entrance per clan. 8. No unseen exits unless distinctly marked in description. 9. No name changes 10. No switching characters unless consulted by another immortal. There are way more rules to come, these are the only ones I could think of for right now, we will abide by these rules and not budge on any of these. ~ 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~ Tiers are available within the major guilds of all Classes. By tiering you raise your character's status amoung your class and are entitled to specialized guild equipment. There are currently four tiers for your character to advance through. In order to obtain a tier simply say "tier me". To advance in a tier you also say "tier me", if you do not have the requirements to tier you will not be allowed to tier and will be informed so. Upon tiering you will recieve a free set of the tier equipment. There is no warpoint loss for tiering. Tier 1 - 100 warpoints Tier 2 - 350 warpoints Tier 3 - 750 warpoints Tier 4 - 1500 warpoints 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. See help "tier equipment" for more information. ~ 0 'Tier Equipment' tierequipment~ Tier equipment is a bonus for obtaining a higher status in a guild. This specialized equipment is not able to be looted and will dissappear on your death. Your first set of tier equipment is free for each tier, afterward you will have to purchase new tier equipment from the guildmaster. In order to purchase new tier equipment at the guildmaster say "tier eq" and the shop store menu will be displayed. Follow instructions given in this menu to purchase the items. For items such as earrings, auras, or symbols you will recieve a set of two items. The following are the costs for tier equipment. Tier 1 eq - 5 warpoints Tier 2 eq - 10 warpoints Tier 3 eq - 15 warpoints Tier 4 eq - 20 warpoints See also help tier ~ 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. ~ 0 MOTD~ {D} ___ _______________________________________________ ___ | / | | \ | | / | | \ | | / | {R}Welcome to the Lands of Chaos {D} | \ | | / | | \ | | / | {R}Welcome everyone to the new playerwipe {D} | \ | | / | {R}We hope you enjoy your stay! {D} | \ | | / | {R} {D} | \ | | / | | \ | | / | | \ | | / | {R}The rules have changed view{D} | \ | | / | {R}help rules for more details{D} | \ | | / | | \ | | / | | \ | | / | | \ | | / | {W} Website: http://landsofchaos.dune.net{D} | \ | | / | | \ | | / | | \ | | / | {R}The Lands of Chaos MOTD. {D} | \ | |___|_______________________________________________|___| {D} Please show your support and vote for us! {D} http://www.mudconnect.com/mud-bin/vote_rank.cgi?mud=The+Lands+of+Chaos {D} http://www.topmudsites.com/cgi-bin/topmuds/rankem.cgi?id=bern{c} {R}+-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+ {D}Hit {D}[{D}return{D}] to enter the game: ~ 0 EMLEN EMLENMUD~ {R}Lands of Chaos {w}is not meant to be the same as any other EmlenMud. Please do not confuse us with any other similar game, we are different with different rules, admin, and players. {Y}<< {G}US{Y} >>{R} Lands of Chaos - Landsofchaos.com port 3333 ~ 0 'Elemental Shield'~ This spell will allow the caster protection against wounding, acid, fire, ice, and plague. ~ 0 'Obscure'~ This spell will grant the caster the power to not be located for a short period of time. ~ 0 'Detect Fog'~ This spell will allow the caster to see during extreme fog conditions. ~ 0 'Shooting Stars'~ This spell will allow the caster to call upon the heavens for a massive barrage of stars falling from above. ~ 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. If you are unhappy with your stats an IMM will adjust your stats for you under the following conditions. You must contact an IMM BEFORE you reach level 11. We will move your stats for you, within racial limits. We will not add to the total, whatever you got when you racechanged for a total is what you will have after we move them. So be warned, you could roll very badly when you racechange. Don't do this unless you are VERY prepared to delete and reroll and start over. Racechange is a HUGE crapshoot. 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 8 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~ Donations are no longer in the game. ~ 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. ~ 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. See Also: {R}BUILDER_RULES REDIT MEDIT MOB_POWER OEDIT OBJ_POWER FAQ {w} ~ 0 'PIERCING WEAPONS'~ Piercing weapons improves your accuracy with daggers and other piercing weapons. Piercing is a must skill for Thieves/Assassins. ~ 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. ~ 100 Z_RELOCATE~ Alright props to Bern and Structure for figuring this crap out. First z_relocate_rooms/mobs/obj to the designated vnums, then Aedit the number of the old area and change them to the vnums you just assigned. For example I have an area that is 96000-97000 and I z_relocate_mobs/rooms/obj 96000 97000 5000 5000 being the vnums i want to move the location to. Once those 3 z_relocates are complete, aedit the area that has 96000-97000 in it and switch the vnums to 5000-6000 then asave complete and reboot. ~ 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. See Also: {R}BUILDER FAQ OBJ_POWER BUILDING MEDIT OEDIT REDIT AVE_DAM {w} ~ 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 'SLASHING WEAPONS'~ Slashing weapons improves your accuracy with sword like objects. *NOTE* Slashing weapons is a must need for warriors. ~ 0 'CONCUSSION WEAPONS'~ Concussion weapons are generally club like objects, this skill will vastly improve your accuracy with club like objects. This is also a very much needed skill for warrior like classes. ~ 0 'WHIPPING WEAPONS'~ Whipping weapons are generally whips or flails. Having this skill allows the user to become more accurate with the use of the weapon. Whipping weapons also have the chance to disarm the opponent. ~ 0 'POLEARM WEAPONS'~ These weapons are generally weapons that are attached to poles. These include halberds, spears, lances, poleaxes, and their like. Having this skill allows the user to effectively utilize the weapon, greatly increasing the damage. ~ 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 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 Necromancer 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 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 150k coins (not gold) for 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. See also LORE See Also: STITCH, FORGE, WEAVE, SKIN, TAN, LUMBERJACK, CUT, BUILD ~ 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. Order of the minerals for forging is as follows: Copper, Tin, Aluminum, Iron, Steel, Electrum, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Molybdenum, Nickel, Titanium, Mithril, Orichalicum, Adamantium. ~ 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. See Also: {R}LOC_BUILDING MOB_POWER BUILDING FAQ REDIT MEDIT OEDIT {w} ~ 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 See Also: {R}PET-SHOPS, RSTAT, ROOM-FLAGS, RESETS, RESET1, RESET2, COUNT, SECTOR{w} ~ 0 FIX PATCH~ This skill lets you repair equipment up to a certain point. ~ 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. ~ 101 ROOM_FLAGS ROOMFLAGS ROOM-FLAGS~ Keyword Number Descr dark 1 room requires a light to see anything no_mobs 4 no mobs will enter the room indoors 8 cannot see weather private 512 2 people only <- NEVER USE safe 1024 no fights between same alignment solitary 2048 1 person only <- NEVER USE pet_shop 4096 makes room a pet shop (see IREF PET-SHOPS) nohear 8192 cannot recall from this room no_summon no-one (mobs or pc's) can be summoned from the room untrackable cannot track through this room or be tracked here nomagic No spells can be cast, or magic items used silence You can't say, emote, gossip... anything... extraheal Heals you faster than normal in this room extramana The gem you are holding regenerates faster here fallsfast If set, this will allow a person to "Walk off a cliff.." It will not check for flying and you will fall if you are not flying. manadrain makes everyone in the room lose mana fast. (this works now since I changed how spells use up mana...) *DO NOT* put in the cheatermana flag if you know what it is. If someone asks you what it is you are not supposed to put in, don't tell them. There are also TRAPS which you may put into a room. Basicaly these are things which deal out damage to anyone in the room at random intervals. firetrap Flames rise up, doing 1-35 damage every 1-3 seconds Intelligence and dexterity can allow you to dodge the flames to an extent. rocktrap Falling rocks fall at random times (1-7 seconds) on a victim's head. His helmet can absorb the blows to an extent. Without helmet it does 1-50 damage OUCH! Also, the victim's helmet will be damaged if it is metal (ie has a higher armor class). Note: high dexterity and intelligence and wisdom may allow you to dodge the rocks. arrowtrap This makes arrows shoot "out of nowhere" to hit the victim. Arrows are dodgeable and victim's armor makes a difference. Dodge depents on intelligence and dexterity. 1-30 dam poisontrap Exactly like above but if hit, you will be poisoned for 1-10 hours. If poisoned, it will add 1 hour for each time you get hit. gastrapone This can be used for swamps and sewers. Does 1-4 damage ocassionally and cannot be dodged or saved against. gastraptwo A much meaner version of gastrapone. It does 1-35 damage and poisons the victim. If victim is poisoned, it adds 1 hour to duration. spiketrap Players sometimes fall on spikes and get damaged (spikes should be in the room description to use this trap! avalanche NOTE: An avalance only goes off once! It does enormous damage, and therefore it is recommended that an avalanche room be set to no_mobs, so wandering mobs don't trigger it. manadrain This room drains mana when you stand in it (the gem the victim is holding). gysertrap This will make it so a spray of scalding hot water hits its victim, doing a good amount of damage. Make sure you put in your room description about something that could do such a thing, like a gyser. Otherwise this trap won't make much sense. ~ 101 OBJ-TYPE OBJ-TYPES OBJ_TYPE OBJ-TYPE~ This will be a list of all the object types available. light scroll wand staff weapon treasure armor potion book furniture trash container drink_container key food gem vehicle fountain pill tool list herb climbable scalable map trap mineral scaling device ~ 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. show - hitting return, or 'show' shows the object stats done - exits the object editor and returns to normal play timer <# of ticks> - sets the timed age of an object (automated self-destruct) name <keywords> - sets the keywords on an object short <desc> - sets the 'name' of an object (a sword, a fish etc) long - edit long description (the one in the room) value0 <num> (or v0)- sets the value '0' on the object (also abbrev.d to 'v0') value1 <num> - sets the value '1' on the object (also abbrev.d to 'v1') value2 <num> - sets the value '2' on the object (also abbrev.d to 'v2') value4 <num> etc... weight <kg> - sets the weight of the object cost <coins> - sets the gold value of the object create <vnum> - creates object with specified vnum ed add <keyword> - type this for adding/editing extended descriptions addaffect - type this for info on adding object affects/applies remaffect - removes an affect on an object You may also type the name of the object type (see IREF OBJ-TYPES) or you can type the name of the extra bit you want to toggle (IREF EXTRA-FLAGS). You can also type the name of an affect (see AFFECT-BITS), but do __NOT__ use these without asking a god first.

See Also: {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.

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.

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. See also help SCRIPT, SCRIPTEDIT ~ 0 SCRIPTEDIT TRIGGERS TRIGGER~ Format: scriptedit create <trigger_id> or scriptedit <trigger_id> Each trigger has a unique ID which can be up to 20 letters in length. Once in the trigger editor, press enter to see current info on the current "script"/"trigger". {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: ---------------------------- CODE <code_chunk> This is the code chunk which is "launched" when your trigger goes off. interrupt this toggles whether or not the script can be interrupted part way through with another trigger instance. (Not usually good if the script "lingers" stops In specific scripts (room/mob), if this is set and the character leaves the room, the script ends. player Player only. If this is on, only players will be able to trigger the script. If not, mobs entering the room and such can trigger it. Room <vnum> Mob <vnum> These are the vnums the script is linked onto. Obj <vnum> Only ONE of these should be set!! ~ 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. See Also: {R}RESET1, RESET{w} ~ 0 ALLY ALLIANCE~ >From time to time, it may become necessary to ally one kingdom with another. For this brief period of time those kingdoms are considered as one, and can see each other's channels and can do everything interchangably except auctions. The alliances are created and broken by admins and will be fairly rare. These will be used for various purposes. type alliance or ally to see who is currently allied. ~ 0 ALIGNMENT ALIGN KINGDOM KINGDOMS NATION NATIONS SIDE SIDES ALIGNINFO~ There are no good and evil alignments anymore. There are now several 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 'SHIELD BLOCK'~ This skill can be used if the user has a shield equipped. It allows the user to block attacks with his/her shield, preventing damage from that attack. ~ 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 a portal. You have to enter the portal by typing "enter portal". Once you enter the portal, follow the instructions that are given in the room. This will explain what you have to do and help you learn the map. 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. Type Help NEWBIECOMMANDS ~ 0 NEWBIECOMMANDS~ TPS RULES RESIZE SCORE FLURRY PKILL REPAIR WEIGHT RACES BATTLEGROUND STORE FIGHT OPTIONS CONFIG SACRIFICE ALIGN TOPTEN RATING SLIST RACEINFO SPELLS SKILLS PKSTAT PROFICIENCIES EQUIPMENT PREREQ ZPREREQ MAPPING {w} ~ 0 RACEINFO RACES RACE RACELIST~ The raceinfo command lets you see information on all the races, or on individual races like you see when you create a character. Syntax: raceinfo for information on all races raceinfo <race_name> or raceinfo <race_number> for specific detailed information on a certain race. ~ 0 PRE PREREQ PREREQUISITE ZPRE ZPREREQ ZPREREQUISITE~ Syntax: pre <skill/spell/prof name> This gives you the 0-2 prerequisites that particular thing has. zpre <skill/spell/prof name> gives you all of the prerequisites for a particular spell/skill/prof...but it does not repeat them so you will notice for some of the more powerful attack spells, spells listed at the bottom of the zpre tree do not have prerequisites..this is because it would be too spammy to do it. To get an idea of how many prerequisites a particular spell has zpre it. ~ 0 WEIGHT~ Syntax: weight This command will allow you to see how much weight you are carrying. Weight is very important in this game. If you are over weight you will find it more difficult to move around the world. If you have excess items it is a good idea to drop them or store them at the bank. ~ 102 ADDAFFECT REMAFFECT~ Syntax: addaffect <what-affect-added> <modifier #> <1> Syntax: remaffect <what-affect-added> what added is the name for example intelligence, kick_damage, saving_spell, ac, dam. The word must be written out completely and correctly or it will say the affect is (unknown). See also: {R}OEDIT OBJ_POWER{w} ~ 0 TINDER TINDERBOX~ A tinderbox contains pieces of flint and small twigs that allow you to light lanterns and torches. Without a tinderbox, there is no use in having a lantern or torch. ~ 0 KILLPOINTS 'KILL POINTS'~ This is a good measure of the difficulty, and number of tough mobs in the world that you have fought and conquered. ~ 0 COMPACT~ What other muds call "Compact" mode, we simply call CONFIG BLANK. Type Config for a list of settings (all are toggleable by typing config <setting-name>. ~ 0 FIGHT OPTIONS 'FIGHT OPTIONS'~ Syntax: Fight or Fight <togglename> Typing the word fight by itself will show you a list of your behaviors in combat and ground fighting. Typing fight followed by an option will toggle option on/off. For instance "fight elbow" would toggle whether or not I use elbows in ground fighting. Here is a brief description of some of the normal fight toggles: POWER: If on, your attacks will do slightly more damage. If off, you will be able to attack at a slightly increased speed. AGGRESSIVE: If on, your attacks will be more forceful and hit more often. If off, you will occasionally dodge a blow that you might not have if aggressive had been on. GROUND: If on, you won't try to resist a fight that may end up on the ground. If off, you will do everything in your power to make sure the fight doesn't go to the ground. If you try to resist going into a groundfight, you will find it very hard to tackle anyone. ~ 0 ANNOUNCE~ Syntax: Announce <text> If you are a clan-leader, you can announce things to your whole clan using this method of communication. ~ 0 REPAIR~ Syntax: Repair <item/all> Repair <item/all> yes Certain people in the world, often weapon smiths or armorers, can repair damaged weapons and/or armor. Repair <item> will give you an estimate of how much the item will cost to repair. Some magical or powerful items cannot be repaired at all, and some items may cost more than others to repair. If you wish the repairs to be done, type Repair <item> yes, and the repairer will go ahead and fix up your item. ~ 0 SWIM SWIMMING~ With this skill, you will be able to swim in most shallow waters. Deep water, or water with large waves is simply impossible to swim in. ~ 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.

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 ~ 0 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 See help PKILL3 ~ 0 PKILL3~ 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. See Help PKILL4 ~ 0 PKILL4~ There are several different alignments in the world. Type aligninfo to get a list of all the alignments and their specials. In order to stop huge groups from roaming around the mud killing everything in their path, and to prevent people who are clueless from getting excessive pkill rewards, we have instituted rules on the number of people of your alignment in the area when someone is pkilled. When a person is pkilled by someone of a different alignment, the number of people of the same alignment (or allied see help alliance or help ally) as the person who got the killing blow who are within a few rooms of where the victim died is counted up. If this number is greater than 6 (although this number may change) then several things happen. 1. The victim does not get their number of pdeaths incremented. 2. The victim dies and goes to their portal. 3. The victim's corpse will be EMPTY, and the equipment in it will be removed from the game. 4. The pkiller and the people of the same alignment (or allied alignments as the pkiller) get no exp, no trophy, no warpoints, no pkills, no equipment. The only thing they get is the removal of a kit of equipment from the game. (So if your goal is to take down someone loaded or to remove equipment from the game...this will do it.) There are two stipulations to this. First, the number of people counted up is the number of the same or allied alignments as the person who got the blow. So, if you have 5 alignments in one room with 6 people each... and nobody is allied, warpoints are normal then. Second, your outpost zones have been designated "homelands." Since homelands are meant to be raided with large groups, if the victim dies inside a zone designated as a homeland, the limits on the number of people are lifted. The experience will still be much worse for large groups, but the warpoints will be there, and the equipment will not be destroyed. See Help PKILL5 ~ 0 PKILL5~ {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. See Also: {R}RULES, MULTI {w}~ 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.

This rune would give the adventurer extraordinary powers based on which rune he/she had gotten. There are four elemental runes, Air, Fire, Earth, Water..Whichever rune the adventurer picks, their element rune would increase that elements power. The rune also has magical powers protecting them against certain elemental attacks. It is not known where this great Wizard is, nor if he is still alive, but rumors abound of even greater runes which inflict damage on those of the opposite align. Here is a brief description of what each element does: Fire element: adds approximately 15percent damage to fire spells lowers the damage you take from fire spells Water element: adds approximately 15 percent damage to water spells lowers the damage you take from water spells Air element: adds approximately 15 percent damage to air spells lowers the damage you take from air spells Earth element: adds approximately 15 percent damage to earth spells lowers the damage you take from earth spells adds approximately 15 percent to healing spells Good element: adds approximately 15 percent damage to spirit spells lowers the damage you take from spirit spells Evil element: adds approximately 15 percent damage to spirit spells lowers the damage you take from spirit spells ~ 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. ~ 0 BOAT BOATS~ Boats are vehicles you carry around to let you travel across water. ~ 0 LINKLESS 'BAD LINK' LD~ If you lose your link, you will just sit there out in the world ripe for anyone and everyone to come along and pkill you. If your link sucks, you are encouraged to come back later or just hope it does not get you killed. There are no reimbs, so there will be no reimbs for bad links. Just take heart in the fact that if your link sucks, then lots of other links suck. ~ 101 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 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.

It can be configured on and off by use of the autoblink command. {R} This is not a spell in the traditional sense of casting spells.

RUN: Run's syntax is RUN <direction> <number of squares>. You may often run past aggressive mobs, although many guarding mobs will not let you by. Run will get you past players spamming "kill xxxx" and also allow you to avoid tintin auto-hunt. CLIMB: Syntax is CLIMB <up/down> <object name>. For instance, Climb up tree.

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 'SUMMARY' INFO~ {B}------------------------------------------------------------------------------ {w}To get more specific help, type {W}HELP <groupname>{w} such as HELP GROUPING, HELP OBJECT, HELP PRACTITIONER, etc... {C}Mapping Commands...{w} (See help MAP) {W}Movement Commands..{w} North, S, E, W, Up, Down, Run, Climb, Enter, Track. {G}Grouping Commands..{w} Follow, Group, Gtell, Split, Report, Assist, Config. {Y}Object Manipulation..{w} Get, Put, Drop, Give, Examine, Look, Recite, Quaff, Zap, Brandish, Lock, Unlock, Open, Close, Pick, Search, Light, Equipment, Inventory, Compare, Eat, Drink, Fill, Empty, Extinguish, Hide, Swap, Study, Butcher, Break, Steal, Sheath, Draw, Sacrifice. {C}Shop Commands......{w} List, Value, Buy, Sell. {W}Bank Commands......{w} Convert, Deposit, Withdraw, Balance, Store, Unstore {G}Practitioner Cmds..{w} Practice, Learn, Skills, Spells, Slist. {Y}Position Commands..{w} Visible, Sleep, Rest, Stand, Wake, Sneak, Hide, Mount, Dismount, Ride, Meditate, Surrender, Search, Board, Disembark, Take Control. {C}Guild Commands.....{w} Guild (Must be at a guildmaster). {W}Clan Commands......{w} Clantalk, Cadd, Cremove, Announce, Clan, Who clan, Cstore, Cunstore, Cquit. {G}Configuration Cmds.{w} Config, Fight, Spam, Channel, ANSI, Pagelen, Wimpy. {Y}Communication......{w} Ignore, OOC, Chat, Yell, Clantalk, Say, Gtell, Tell, Reply, Quiet, Channel, Listen, Pray, Emote. {C}Information Cmds...{w} Score, Equipment, Weather, Area, Commands, Socials, Who, Inventory, Player, Topten, Trophy, Level, Showspells Skills, Spells, Weight, World, Time, Scan, Glance, Config, Store, Cstore, Alias, Finger, Exits, Wizlist, Minmana, Clan, Affects, Consider, GConsider, Showskills Houses, Events, News, Changes, Pkill, New Clan, clan costs, skill rank, armor rank, damage rank. {W}Combat Commands....{w} Kill, Kick, Tackle, Bash, Backstab (BS), Circle, Flurry, Wimpy, Rescue, Disarm, Assist, Flee. {G}Arena Commands.....{w} Challenge, Accept, Decline, Bet, Config Arena.

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. ~ 0 STATS STRENGTH CONSTITUTION WISDOM INTELLIGENCE DEXTERITY STR INT WIS DEX CON~ Strength: This stat speaks for itself. What it affects: Your carrying capacity and extra damage you do in battle, How well you can resist disarms in combat, how well you can bash down doors, etc... Constitution: This stat is your health or well being. What it affects: How many hitpoints you get after a level, and other smaller aspects related to your "toughness". Wisdom: This stat shows how wise you are. What it affects: How many practices you gain after you level, and your natural mana and maximum mana with gems. Intelligence: This stat shows how intelligent you are. What it affects: How fast you learn new spells. It also helps in casting offense spells and affects natural mana. Dexterity: This stat shows how agile and quick you are. What it affects: How well you move during battle, dodge trips, and how fast you gain back lost movement points. ~ 0 CLANTALK~ Syntax: clantalk <message> This is just like any other communication channel, except this one only transmits to your clan only. See Also: {R}CLAN, CLANS, GUILD {w}~ 0 POSITION POSITIONS~ REST will make you rest. You can see people come/go but you don't get hit points or movement back as fast as if you were sleeping. 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 to move between rooms undetected. HIDE allows you to hide in a room, possibly undetected until you type a command or move. MEDITATE allows you to regenerate mana at a faster rate. SEARCH allows you to search the room for hidden objects, or a direction for a hidden door. MOUNT is the same as Ride. Syntax is Ride/Mount <Mobile to ride>. DISMOUNT is the command to get off the ridden mobile. VISIBLE will remove invisibility, sneak, and hide, making you visible. ~ 0 OOC~ 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 a cross between a warrior and a healer. Tradionally this was true until Healers decided to go straight on curing the needs of the many. A Healer can become a half warrior half healer but can also go straight to being a healer. Healers have always played the role of the crusader. A white knight on his horse fighting for the right of god. This is also traditionally true but a few stray souls have defected to the unholy side which also fight for evil and wish to heal the minions which support evil. Upon joining the Healer's guild you recieve a point of wisdom for your allegience. ~ 0 ROGUE~ The Guild of Rogues 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 Rogues 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. Ywill notice a slight improvement in the power of your healing spells. ~ 0 NECROMANCER~ Not much is known about the origins of this circle of dark knowledge. Some say that a few healers of the first age might have discovered the secret of life and that power drove them mad into the abyss of corruption. Disliked by many, these people dwell in the realms between life and death. Your intelligence will be enhanced once you find your way into this circle. ~ 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 BARBARIAN2~ The Warrior class is based on brute strength and constitution. Without strength this class can go nowhere, and without constitution there is no point to having the strength. Warriors are the greatest of the melee fighters, and are a great asset to any PK group. Main attributes: Strength, Constitution. Unique skills for Warriors: [75] Flail [75] Resilience Unique spells for Warriors: [30] Call to Arms [40] Bloodlust [40] War Blessing [43] Haste ~ 0 Rogue2~ Rogues are the Kings and Queens of stealth. They enjoy hiding in dark corners, and trying to fool you out of some good equipment. If they don't get the equipment, you'll need to watch your back.

Unique spells for Necromancers: Coming soon. ~ 0 CLASS CLASSES~ There are a few different types of classes on Loc. Rogues, Necromancers, Barbarians, Monks, Paladin, Wizards, and Healers. Type help guildcombo to see which guilds you need to join to fit under this criteria. Also type help guilds for more information on guilds. If you want to see what a specific class does, type help necromancer2 or help warrior2 or help wizard2, etc. ~ 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. Some guilds are not compatable with other guilds. See landsofchaos.dune.net for a list of what guilds can coexist. There are currently twelve guilds in the world: Warrior, Healer, Rogue, Thief, Rogue, Tinker, Ranger, Conjurer, Mystic, Battlemaster, Necromancer, and Monk. In order to join a guild, you must first find the signum for that guild, these are sold by specific mob's through out the world. After getting the signum you must get past the guard and locked door so as to be able to give the signum to the guild guardian, he will then give you passage to the guild hall. 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. When you are actually at a guildmaster, you may type Guild Join, Guild Info, Guild Status, or Guild Leave. 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 rule is serious. We will not have clans led by people that will abuse their power. 6. You must have 100 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 the clan. This fee pays for the privilage of having a clan, and the clantalk channel and for the starting clanhouse.

Each clan can only have a maximum of 15 members. This is not coded so it will be enforced on a case by case basis. This is to help inscrease the number of clans, and hopefully encourage clan wars. If a clan is in violation of this clause, and gets caught, the clan will be disbanded, the house will remain, and the members will have to pay for a new clan all over again.

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. Here is a list of what the augments do: Body, Head, Leg, Arm, Foot-Plating: These augments all protect your body from physical damage. Body-Power: Increases the weight you can carry.

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!!! :) See Also: {R}LEARN, PRACTICE, GUILD{w} ~ 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 SEARCHING~ 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 05 purple 13 magenta 06 brown 14 yellow 07 grey 15 white See Also: {R}TITLE{w} ~ 0 FAREWELL~ Thank you for playing! We hope to see you in the Chaos again soon!! [Character Saved; Quit Successful] ~ 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' are not accepeted very well here. 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 COMBAT 'COMBAT COMMANDS'~ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ->Make sure to use the CONSIDER <mob/player> command to estimate how tough<- ->the battle will be before fighting!<- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- KILL is used to start a fight (Kill <mob/player>) See Also: {R}WIMPY, KICK, BASH, TACKLE, BACKSTAB, CIRCLE, FLEE, ASSIST, DISARM, FLURRY, and RESCUE {w} See also: Help Groundfighting. ~ 0 GROUPING 'GROUPING COMMANDS'~ Follow: See HELP FOLLOW.

Say sends a message to the room you are in. Pray sends a message that can only be seen by gods online. Typing a channel name alone at the prompt will toggle it on/off. ~ 0 LEARN LEARNS LEARNING~ Syntax: learn Syntax: learn <skill/spell> Learn is a command which allows you to learn a skill/spell. Learned skills/spells must then be practiced. 'Learn' without any arguments will display all the skills/spells that you may learn from the mob in the room, if any. Each learn requires a learn session. To learn a skill, you use up a learn session. Type 'learn <skill or spell name>' to learn a new skill/spell. You must find guildmasters/practitioners that teach certain skills/spells. See Also: {R}PRACTICE{w} ~ 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 !~ Syntax: ! ! repeats the last command you typed. ~ 0 NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST UP DOWN ENTER CLIMB RUN~ Syntax: north Syntax: south Syntax: east Syntax: west Syntax: up Syntax: down Syntax: climb [up/down] <object> Syntax: run <direction> [count] Syntax: enter <object> Use these commands to walk in a particular direction. CLIMB is used to climb objects that are climbable. Example: climb up tree. RUN will move you in a direction until you can't move in that direction no more. Or you can give a count of how many spaces to move. Running will take more movements off and prevent you from doing anything while running. ENTERing objects will allow you into some special places. ~ 0 LIGHT EXTINGUISH~ Syntax: light <light object> Syntax: extinguish <light object> Lighting a light-able object can only be done with a tinderbox tool. Extinguishing a light-able objects puts out the light on demand. ~ 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. {R}When you cast offensive spells in certain terrain types, or in certain types of weather, the damage is increased. You will have to figure out which terrain and weather affects which spells.{w} ~ 0 EXITS~ Syntax: exits Tells you the visible exits of the room you are in. Not all exits are visible. ~ 0 DROP GET GIVE PUT TAKE~ Syntax: drop <object> Syntax: drop <amount> coins Syntax: get <object> Syntax: get <object> <container> Syntax: give <object> <character> Syntax: give <amount> coins <character> Syntax: put <object> <container> DROP drops an object, or some coins, on the ground. GET gets an object, either lying on the ground, or from a container, or even from a corpse. TAKE is a synonym for get. GIVE gives an object, or some coins, to another character. PUT puts an object into a container. DROP, GET and PUT understand the object names 'ALL' for all objects and 'ALL.object' for all objects with the same name. ~ 0 EQUIPMENT INVENTORY~ Syntax: equipment Syntax: inventory EQUIPMENT lists your equipment (armor, weapons, and held items). INVENTORY lists your inventory. ~ 0 COMPARE~ Syntax: compare <object-1> <object-2> Syntax: compare <object> COMPARE compares two objects in your inventory. You can only compare weapons. COMPARE with one argument compares an object in your inventory to the object you are currently wielding of the same type. COMPARE doesn't consider any special modifiers of the objects. ~ 0 CRITICAL 'CRITICAL HIT'~ This skill gives a thief/assassin with hand speed who is wielding a piercing weapon with a dex of 30 or more a chance at causing a lot more damage with a regular hit or a backstab or circle. ~ 0 BACKSTAB BS DISARM KILL~ Syntax: backstab <character> Syntax: disarm Syntax: kill <character> KILL starts a fight, and, hopefully, kills something. BACKSTAB is another way to start a fight, used if you have learned the backstab skill. BS is a synonym for BACKSTAB. DISARM is an auxiliary fighting command to disarm your opponent. In order to BACKSTAB or DISARM successfully, you must practice the appropriate skill. ~ 0 SCAN~ Syntax: scan Allows you to scan all the possible directions and look into them. Similar to 'look' but shows you all possible directions not just the one. See Also: {R}LOOK{w} ~ 0 PRAY~ Syntax: pray <message you want to say to the Gods> ~ 0 FLEE ASSIST RESCUE GUARD~ Syntax: flee Syntax: rescue <character> Syntax: assist <character> Syntax: guard <character> Once you start a fight, you can't just walk away from it. If the fight is not going well, you can attempt to FLEE, or another character can RESCUE you. If you lose your link during a fight, then your character will keep 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. ~ 0 EXAMINE LOOK~ Syntax: look Syntax: look <object> Syntax: look <character> Syntax: look <direction> Syntax: look <keyword> Syntax: look in <container> Syntax: look in <corpse> Syntax: examine <container> Syntax: examine <corpse> Syntax: examine <gem> LOOK looks at something and sees what you can see. When you see enemies, you will see different descriptions depending on how powerful they are. Here is a list of the ranks: 0 mort : nothing 1-3 mort : young 4-6 mort : elder 7-9 mort : Prince/Princess 10 mort : King/Queen This affects scan as well. EXAMINE is short for 'LOOK container' followed by 'LOOK IN container'. Examining GEMS will show you the mana left available to use. Use: look <direction> shows you what mobs are in a specific direction ~ 0 REST SLEEP STAND WAKE~ Syntax: rest 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. However, you are more vulnerable to attack, and if you SLEEP, you won't hear many things happen. Use STAND or WAKE to come back to a standing position. You can also WAKE other sleeping characters. ~ 0 GTELL ; SAY LISTEN REPLY TELL~ Syntax: gtell <message> Syntax: say <message> Syntax: reply <message> Syntax: tell <character> <message> All of these commands send messages to other players. GTELL sends a message to all of the characters in your group, wherever they are, even if they are sleeping or stunned or dying. ';' is a synonym for GTELL. SAY sends a message to all awake players in your room. 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 even if you can't see the player, and without revealing their identity. This is handy for talking to invisible or switched immortal players. See Also: {R}COMMUNICATION{w} ~ 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: {R}PRAY{w} ~ 0 EMOTE , POSE SOCIAL~ Syntax: emote <action> EMOTE is used to express emotions or actions. Besides EMOTE, there are several hundred built-in social commands, such as CACKLE, HUG, and THANK. ~ 0 GRAPPLE~ The grapple skill will help you tackle better, do more damage in groundfight, and make it harder for people to escape you when groundfighting you. ~ 0 GRAB HOLD REMOVE WEAR WIELD~ Syntax: hold <object> Syntax: remove <object> Syntax: wear <object> Syntax: wear all Syntax: wield <object> Three of these commands will take an object from your inventory and start using it as equipment. HOLD is for light sources, wands, and staves. WEAR is for armor. WIELD is for weapons. WEAR ALL will attempt to HOLD, WEAR, or WIELD each suitable item in your inventory. You may not be able to HOLD, WEAR, or WIELD an item if its alignment does not match yours, if it is too heavy for you, or if you are not experienced enough to use it properly. REMOVE will take any object from your equipment and put it back into your inventory. ~ 0 CHANNELS CHANNEL~ Syntax: channels Syntax: channels +<channel> Syntax: channels -<channel> Syntax: <channel> off With no options, CHANNELS shows you your current channels. With a plus or minus sign and an option, CHANNELS turns that channel on or off. {W}NOTE{w} If channels -<channel> does not turn off a channel then try <channel> off Common channels are as follows with a description: Gossip - all levels - same alignment Tell - all levels - same alignment Auction - all levels same alignment Ooc - level 40 - global Clantalk - all levels - clan channel ~ 0 CONFIG~ Syntax: config Syntax: config +<option> Syntax: config -<option> Syntax: config <option> This command configures some of your character behavior. With no options, CONFIG shows you your current settings. With a plus or minus sign and an option, CONFIG turns that option on or off. CONFIG <option> alone toggles the option on or off. Type CONFIG alone to see the full option list. ~ 0 AUTO~ There are a number of automatic doing commands. See Also: {R}AUTOLOOT, AUTOEXIT, AUTOASSIST, AUTOSAC, AUTOGOLD, AUTOSPLIT{w} ~ 0 AUTOSPLIT~ Syntax: autosplit AUTOSPLIT will automatically split the coins you receive to your group. ~ 0 AUTOGOLD~ Syntax: autogold AUTOGOLD will automatically make you get coins from corpses. ~ 0 AUTOLOOT~ Syntax: autoloot AUTOLOOT toggles your ability to automatically loot corpses after you deal the final blow. See CONFIGURE to find out which toggle is on and which is off. ~ 0 AUTOEXIT~ Syntax: autoexit AUTOEXIT toggles your ability to automatically see exits as you enter a room.

See CONFIGURE to find out which toggle is on and which is off. ~ 0 BLANK~ Syntax: blank BLANK toggles existence of a blank before your prompt. See CONFIGURE to find out which toggle is on and which is off. ~ 0 COMBINE~ Syntax: combine COMBINE toggles your seeing combined format of identical items in the room. See CONFIGURE to find out which toggle is on and which is off. ~ 0 REPORT SCORE TIME WEATHER~ Syntax: report Syntax: score Syntax: time Syntax: weather REPORT shows your current statistics to you and also announces them to other players in the room. SCORE shows detailed statistics to you only. TIME shows the game time. See WORLD to see uptime, real time, etc... WEATHER shows the current game weather, and game time/season. 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~ Syntax: brief BRIEF allows you to not see the room descriptions in the rooms so you will get less scroll when you move quickly. Typing 'brief' again will toggle back to seeing room descriptions. ~ 0 DESCRIPTION~ Syntax: description Allows you to type in a description of your character. ~ 0 PASSWORD~ Syntax: password <old-password> <new-password> PASSWORD changes your character's password. The first argument must be your old password. The second argument is your new password.

A Sacrifice is a Sacrifice; don't expect any lousy steenken coins or anything after level 9. ~ 0 TAP~ This skill is only available to the most masterful and high-tech aturion minds. The full effect of this skill is unknown, but it basically allows 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. All of these commands use up their objects. Potions and scrolls have a single charge. Wands and staves have multiple charges. When a magical object has no more charges, it will be consumed. ~ 0 SHEATH DRAW~ Syntax: sheath <weapon> Syntax: draw <weapon> Sheath will allow you to place a weapon into your belt for future use. Draw will remove any sheathed weapons from your belt for you to use. ~ 0 GCONSIDER GCON~ Syntax: gconsider <victim> gcon <victim> This command shows you how well your group would do against a mob if you were taking the hits. It is best if the would-be "tank" or "buffer" uses this command, as it will be the most accurate. Only group members actually in the room with the mob will be used in the gconsider command. See also: {R}CONSIDER{w} ~ 0 CONSIDER~ Syntax: consider <victim> CONSIDER tells you what your chances are of killing a character. Of course, it's only a rough estimate. See also: {R}GCONSIDER GCON{w} ~ 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. ~ 0 FOLLOW GROUP~ Syntax: follow <character> Syntax: group Syntax: group <character> or ALL (See also the Ditch command) TYPE HELP GBONUS to find out about GROUP BONUSES, exp division, etc... FOLLOW starts you following another character. To stop following anyone else, just FOLLOW <yourself>. GROUP <character> makes someone who is following you a member of your group. Group members share experience points from kills and may use the GTELL and SPLIT commands. If anyone in your group is attacked, you will automatically join the fight if you have autoassist on. If the <character> is already a member of your group, then GROUP will kick out the <character> from your group. Characters can also leave your group by using a FOLLOW command to stop following you. GROUP with no argument shows statistics for each character in your group. ~ 0 HIDE SNEAK VISIBLE SNEAKING HIDING~ Syntax: HIDE Syntax: SNEAK Syntax: VISIBLE If you type HIDE <object> you will hide an object in the room. Other people in the room will see you hiding it, so be warned. If you type HIDE alone (nothing after it): If you successfully HIDE, then other characters can't see you. If you successfully SNEAK, then you can move in and out of rooms without being noticed. Sneak is checked on EACH STEP... if you fail the sneak, people will see you sneak in. If you pass the sneak roll, you will enter the room undetected. In order to HIDE or SNEAK successfully, you must practice the appropriate skill. VISIBLE cancels your hiding and sneaking, as well as any invisibility, making you visible again. See Also: {R}SEARCH{w} ~ 0 SNEAKING~ Syntax: SNEAK If you successfully SNEAK, then you can move in and out of rooms without being noticed. Sneak is checked on EACH STEP... if you fail the sneak, people will see you sneak in. If you pass the sneak roll, you will enter the room undetected. You must have the sneaking proficiency in order to use sneak. ~ 0 HIDING~ Syntax: HIDE If after typing HIDE alone and you have the hiding proficiency, you will hide in the room you are in.

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.
