2.3 by Hans Birkeland (Hugin). Port to Rom 2.4 by Ivan Toledo (ver 1.7).
Inside an editor, typing COMMANDS lists working commands and ? gives

resets the current room. Most commands with no arguments display syntax.

~
0 HITDICE~

Suggested values are:
level: dice min max mean

50: 10d169+920 930(923) 2610(2610) 1770(1767)
Diff = max - min. Mean is the arithmetic mean.
The values in parenthesis are the the standard merc values.
~
0 MANADICE~
A high number of dice makes for less variance in mobiles mana.
The values the server generates for merc-type mobs is
<level> d 10 + 100
where level is the level of the mobile.
~
0 DAMDICE~
A high number of dice makes for less variance in mobiles hitpoints.
Suggested values are:
Level dice min min mean
1 1d2+0 1 2 2
2 1d2+1 2 3 3
3 1d3+2 3 5 4
5 2d3+2 4 8 6
10 2d5+5 7 15 11
15 3d5+8 11 23 17
20 4d5+10 14 30 22
30 5d6+15 20 45 33
50 5d10+25 30 75 53
Mean is the arithmetic mean. The values in parenthesis are the the
standard merc values. (Will be put in when there's time to calculate
them...)
~
0 RESETS~
Syntax: RESET <number> OBJ <vnum> <location on body> - equips last mobile
RESET <number> OBJ <vnum> inside <obj vnum> - store in container
RESET <number> OBJ <vnum> room - store in room
RESET <number> MOB <vnum> [<max #>] - load a mobile
RESET <number> DELETE - delete a reset
RESET alone will display the resets in the current room. The <number> will
be displayed with this list. Typing ? WEAR-LOC will list possible locations
that an object can be loaded to. The [<max #>] is the maximum number of
mobiles allowed in this room and will default to 1 if no number is entered.
For resets to be successful make sure that you add them in a logical order.
For example if you are equiping a mobile don't load a container in the room
and fill it with some objects and then continue equiping the mobile. It is
likely that resets will backfire if they are not carefully entered.
If you wish to reset the room then use EDIT ROOM RESET.
~
0 MOB_AC~
The values ROM generates for a merc format mob is:
level pierce bash slash exotic
1 95 95 95 95
5 70 70 70 85
10 40 40 40 70
15 5 5 5 55
20 -25 -25 -25 40
25 -55 -55 -55 20
30 -90 -90 -90 5

65 -305 -305 -305 -105
70 -340 -340 -340 -120
80 -400 -400 -400 -150
These values are 10 times what you would put in an area file. This
is because the server multiplies what it reads from file with 10.

~
0 WEAPON_DICE~
These are the values the server generates automatically when
converting a merc-format mobile to ROM format. A higher
number of dice gives less variance in damage. There is no
dice-bonus on weapon dice.

~
1 SEDIT~
Syntax:
sedit delete <social>
sedit new <social>
sedit show <social>
sedit <string-name> <social> [string]
SEDIT allows online creation, deletion and editting of socials.
SEDIT DELETE <social> deletes that social. The deletion is irrecoverable,
save for restoring a backup file, so use this command with great care!
SEDIT NEW <social> creates a new, empty social.
SEDIT SHOW <social> shows all of the strings for that social.
SEDIT <string-name> <social> [string] changes a certain of the 7 strings that
make up a social. If you leave out the string, no message will be sent to
the involved characters.
There are 7 strings that make up a social:
cnoarg: Sent to character when no argument typed. E.g. X types HUG and sees:
Hug whom?
onoarg: Sent to others in the room when no argument is given. In the case of
HUG, it is an empty string, so that nothing is shown if a player types HUG
by itself.
cfound: Sent to the character if a target is found. E.g. X types HUG Y:
You hug Y.
vfound: Sent to the victim. E.g. X types HUG Y, and Y sees:
X hugs you.
ofound: Sent to others in room, if target is found. E.g. X types HUG Y.
Everyoune but X and Y see:
X hugs Y.
cself: Sent to the character if she uses the social on herself. E.g. X types
HUG X :
You hug yourself.
oself: Sent to others in room when a player uses a social on herself:
X hugs herself in a vain attempt to get friendship.
To get the player names and sexes correct, you need to use those macros:
$n - name of player
$e - he, she or it, depending on sex of player
$m - him, her or it, depending on sex of player
$s - his, her or its, depending on sex of player.
For the victim, just use the uppercase version. E.g. $N is the name of the
victim, $E is he, she or it depending on victim's sex etc.
So, to make a new social called 'epoke' which would poke eyes out, you would
do the following:
SEDIT NEW epoke
SEDIT cnoarg epoke Poke whose eyes out? (message sent to player)
SEDIT cfound epoke You poke $N's eyes out!
SEDIT vfound epoke $n pokes your eyes out! Ouch..
SEDIT ofound epoke $n pokes $N's eyes out!
SEDIT cself epoke Being bored, you poke your own eyes out.
SEDIT oself epoke $n pokes $s eyes out!
To get more examples, type SEDIT SHOW <social-name> to see one of the
existing socials.
The socials are stored in a file called socials.txt. Manual editting of
that file is not advised. A frequent back-up is recommended. The social
file is updated by the server as soon as anything changes.
