&C MOVING THROUGHOUT GAME:
&W ---------------------------
&cThe game divided into many rooms which are connected by various
directionals to make up areas. When you are in a room, you can
find the exits in the room by typing &YEXITS&c. Autoexit is a helpful
command to initiate (type &YCONFIG +AUTOEXIT&c), because it will
automatically show you what exits there are in the room. Be warned
however, you will only see the obvious exits. You must pay attention
to the room descriptions to see if there might be any doors or hidden
passages in the room.
&CDirectional commands: &c(in parentheses you find the shorthand)
&YNORTH (n) SOUTH (s) EAST (e) WEST (w) UP (u) DOWN (d)
NORTHEAST (Ne) NORTHWEST (Nw) SOUTHEAST (Se) SOUTHWEST (Sw)
&RNote&w:&c You will notice that in the prompt <20hp 10bp 20mv>, the 'mv'
refers to your movement points. If your movement points were
to run out, you will be unable to move between rooms due to
exhaustion. If you type &YSLEEP&c or &YREST&c your movement points
will slowly be replenished. You must type &YSTAND&c or &YWAKE&c
before walking again.
~
1 ACCELERATE VELOCITY SPEED~
&CSyntax &W: &YSpeed (speed) <accel>
&CSyntax &W: &YAccelerate (speed) <accel>
&CSyntax &W: &YVelocity (speed) <accel>
&c
This command sets your ships speed when not in hyperspace.
The accel argument is optional, and sets your rate of
acceleration. It will automatically accelerate at maximum
if not used.

In our efforts to give credit to everyone who deserves it, we almost
forgot to give credit to one of the "grandfathers" of computer adventure
games... David Platt, the author of the original "Adventure" (c)1979.
Also credit to Ken Wellsch for porting the original Fortran-77 version
to UNIX-C (over a period of about 3 years) (c)1984.

1 DARRIK~
They came from the woodwork to listen to the fears,
Savoring the taste of a little child's tears.
Bogeyman in the closet, monsters under the bed, Terrors of the night
creeping into your head.
There's no place to hide when you are alone,
Under the covers shaking to the bone.
Take a deep breath and try to relax,
Try to forget the man with the axe.
But they whisper to you from deep in the night,
And you are too scared to turn on the light.
So fear the night terrors my dear little ones,
And pray for the rise of the new morning sun.

~
-1 DIKU~
Realms of Despair was originally based on the Merc 2.1 code which was
based on the orignal DIKUMud code created by:
The Original DIKUMud Team:
Katja Nyboe [Superwoman] (katz@freja.diku.dk)
Tom Madsen [Stormbringer] (noop@freja.diku.dk)
Hans Henrik Staerfeldt [God] (bombman@freja.diku.dk)
Michael Seifert [Papi] (seifert@freja.diku.dk)
Sebastian Hammer [Quinn] (quinn@freja.diku.dk)
Additional contributions from:
Michaal Curran - the player title collection and additional locations.
Bill Wisner - for being the first to successfully port the game,
uncovering several old bugs, uh, inconsistencies,
in the process.
And: Mads Haar and Stephan Dahl for additional locations.
The Original DIKUMud was Developed at the Department of Computer Science
at the University of Copenhagen.
~
101 ECONOMY~
Each area will initialize (on bootup of the mud) with a pool of gold based
on the area's range and the wealth of each mob in that area.
The shopkeepers and thieves will automatically deposit gold into the economy
if they are carrying more than a certain amount (the higher the level of the
shopkeeper, the greater they will carry before depositing).
To allow mobprogs to be created to manipulate area economies, making them
interactive and interdependent, there are two mpcommands: mpdeposit, and
mpwithdraw (see related helpfiles). There is also an 'if economy' ifcheck.
The aset command can also be used to adjust an area's economy by hand
(example: aset <area filename> low_economy <amount>, this will give
the specified area a minimum economy at the level you set).
Mobs will not repop with more gold than what they were originally created
with, but if the area economy runs low they will begin to repop with less
until the economy is replenished (as they all share the same gold pool).
Use foldarea to make changes to an area's economy with aset permenent.
See ASET, FOLDAREA

-1 MOTD~
.
A decision has been building in my mind recently.
I have been working on RiP since July of 1999, and have been
running it since October that same year. I have worked eight
hours a day on the mud, and I have worked 8 hours a month on it.
Through it all, I only decided to set it down once, in 2001,
when I released the codebase and 'shutdown' the mud. I left
it online and running, however, and eventually people convinced
me to reopen it.
Now, in 2004, I have finally decided to lay this project down
and move on. The active player base has become very small
over the last year, and the immortals have slowly been moving
on, although some good additions have come along as well.
Johnson has been a great help in coding some of the many ideas
we all have. Corran has become one of the best administrators
I've had.
It has been a good time, and I will miss RiP. However, I have
a new project that I have just recently started, and I want to
focus on that. Perhaps in a couple of years when I have
completed the project, I will open another mud and invite you
all to share the creation once again.
In the meantime, I will not be leaving the mudding scene, as
I still play on one mud and stop by others constantly, harrassing
the owners, trying to get them to talk code, one of my favorite
pastimes.
Any builders who would like a copy of their areas, toss me an
e-mail, and I will send it off. I will use previous e-mails as
a base, or AIM, to verify your identities. The area files are
still fully compatible with stock SWR, except possibly the
additional if statements in programs.
The currently codebase may or may not be released in the future.
I will need to clean it up once again, and either remove or
receive permission to include Johnson's and Kre's code in the
release. I have not decided on whether or not I do want to
release the code to the general public.
The mud will be shutdown on Friday, July 9th, at 8PM.
Good luck to you all,
Darrik Vequir

Well done!

Suddenly you are thrust into the stream of the force, and you find yourself
without any means of movement, without means of defense, without means of
survival.
Before your horrified eyes, a stream of pure darkness suddenly rushes into
your heart, and slams into your very bieng, ripping at your soul.
To the lack of your salvation, a stream of white simultaniously whiplashes
at your mind, robbing you of all knowledge and memories...
Woe to those who are attacked by the fury of the Force, for their
punishment is great...
~
-1 M_GODLVL10_~
You are all powerful!
~
-1 M_GODLVL1_~
...Everything begins to fade to black.
You feel yourself leaving your body... rising up into the air, you feel
indeed much more free than you have ever felt before...
You float high into the heavens... a vortex of ever-changing curved beams
of colored light swirling around you faster and faster...
Your soul is bursting with emotions you can barely conceive...
You feel a burning inside... both cold and hot... a tingle of electricity
grows into a powerful buzzing surge jolting through every inch of your body.
A strange chorus of voices begins to sing indecipherable and long forgotten
words... the singing grows louder and louder... a million voices as one.
You feel yourself losing touch with reality... and all goes quiet.
~
-1 M_GODLVL2_~
...You begin to feel light-headed.
Your hands begin to tingle softly...
The feeling quickly grows into a strange radiating pulse of energy!
The tingle rises up your arms and into your head, filing your mind with
visions of worlds of wonder, far off places, great towers, vast mountains,
oceans, seas, lush valleys, dark caverns and twisted passages...
You sense a feeling of wonderous potential and power in your hands...
Enough power to build and create these visions for yourself!
You feel much more powerful, eager and inspired!
~
-1 M_GODLVL3_~
...You feel slightly faint as your head begins to spin.
Your hands begin to tingle once more...
A vortex of energy starts to swirl throughout your hands, going faster
and faster... becoming almost painful!
Beams of light break through your skin, one at a time, then more and
more until the light is almost to bright to bear...
As your squint your eyes, you perceive a vision of great beasts of wonder,
dangerous and unnatural fiends, pixies, faeries, tribes and clans, peoples
of all kinds, ancient forgotten artifacts, weapons of vast untapped powers,
crystal balls, magick rings, staves, wands, rods, arcane tomes of untold
secrets... your mind is bursting with inspiration...
You sense a new, reborn feeling of unlimited potential and power...
In your hands the power to build and create these visions for yourself!
The bright light from your hands fades away... but strange faint glow
remains always.
