The "guild.dat" file is the file that sets up your clans/guilds on the
mud.  The format is really simple, and I've included an example file for
you to look at as well. but let's talk a bit about the different lines
here.

Keys	Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Guild	Obviously, this is the name of the guild.

Who	This name is what is used in "who" or "whois" commands, it's
        what's shown in the title string for each character.
	Color codes are fine here, but I really dont recommend them
        anywhere else.

Rooms	There should be three room vnums here, the first is the clan
        "hall", this is where players are sent when they recall, the
        second is the clan "morgue", or where theyre corpses are sent
        when they die. The third, is the clan "Temple" where the players
        sent upon death. Entering a 0 in any of these will instruct the 
        mud to use the default room. (usually vnum 3054)

Rank    Each rank must be numbered, followed by the ranks name, example
        "Rank 1 Junior carpenter~"  (be sure you follow all strings with
        the tilde character).  You can have as many ranks as you have 
        defined in MAX_RANKS, each rank must be numbered incrementally,
        and each must have a rank name.

Skill   Each rank may also have an associated skill that the player is
        given (at 1%) when they are promoted to this rank. Each skill must
        be numbered to match the rank# that it's associated with, and each
        must list the name of the skill to grant the character.  example:
        "Skill	3	circle~" gives the skill "circle" to the player of
        this guild when he attains the third rank. 

ML      This defines the properties to give to your mortal leaders. By
        default, the mortal leader is defined as rank MAX_RANKS. This
        works in a true or false manner, and looks like this in the file:
        "ML	0 0 1 1". These numbers stand for the following, in order.

           Mortal Leader can guild
           Mortal Leader can deguild
           Mortal Leader can promote
           Mortal Leader can demote

Flags  These are the various flags associated with this guild. For all new
       guilds, set this value to 0. It's much easier to change this in the
       guild editor.

See the file "guild.dat" that came with this archive for working examples.

The last line of the file should contain only the word: "End", looking
like this;

End
