To list a list of rooms currently in your area, use the command OLIST to view all rooms created so far in the area, or OLIST lowvnum highvnum to view all those in the selected area. OSET is the main command used for editing rooms.

The 'sn' is used for OSET and OSTAT. The 'slot' is used for area files. Neither 'sn' nor 'slot' is used for player files; these operate with the actual skill and spell names. SLOOKUP ALL shows this information for all skills and spells. ARMORCLASS There are two values used with armour class for objecttype Armor: Value0: Variable amount based on level of item at repop. Value1: Maximum repairable armor setting for the object. Setting Value0 has no effect. It will re-adjust itself on repop based on the repop level of the item. Setting Value1 below the expected repop value for Value0 will result in an item that cannot be repaired until Value0 drops below Value1's setting. The listing below gives you a rough approximation of the values returned for Value0 based on level: Level Invoked Value 0 Level Invoked Value 0 --------------+--------- --------------+-------1 1-3 30 8-10 10 3-5 40 11-13 20 6-8 50 13-15 The amount that Value0 is set to determines the amount the player's AC will be adjusted. Different wear locations have a different multiplying effect on AC: 0 x Value0 : Wield, Ears. 1 x Value0 : Arms, Finger, Neck, Feet, Hands, Shield, Waist, Wrist, Hold, Eyes. 2 x Value0 : Head, Legs, About. 3 x Value0 : Body. LAYERS Layers are currently available on the following wear locations: About, Arms, Body, Feet, Hands, Legs, Waist. Layers are set with a numeric value, or combination of values. The lower the value, the lower the layer, or thinner the item of clothing or armor is. Valid numeric values are:0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128. Or any combination of the above. A value of zero means no other items can be layered with this item. Items of clothing can be layered over one another as long as their layer values do not overlap. ie, if leather armor were set to a value of 56 (8, 16, and 32), it could not layer with, say, a set of heavy chain that is set to a value of 96 (32 and 64), as they overlap on the layer value of 32. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-------+--------------------------------------------0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 (Default - Nothing Layers) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 silk shirt, light cloth tunic (Lowest Layer) 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 2 leather vest, heavy cloth 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 4 light chainmail, padded gambeson 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 6 padded chainmail 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 8 leather jacket, reinforced chainmail 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 12 platemail, similarly rigid armor 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 16 light cloak, loose robes 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 24 heavy fur cloak 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 32 loose cloaks, surcoats 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 64 capes 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 128 magical effects (auras, clouds of dust, etc) 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 255 (Highest Layer - Nothing Layers) +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-------+--------------------------------------------* Thick or bulky items may need to occupy more than one layer. (example; padded chain covers 2 layers) * A "body" wear position will have more layers than other positions such as "arms", "hands", "legs", and "feet". (example for "hands"; silk gloves leather gloves chain gauntlets) * Currently the only positions that you can layer are: "body", "legs", "feet", "arms", "hands", "about" and "waist".

Weapon Damage The damage a weapon does depends on the values you set when you make the object. Value1 refers to the number of die used, and Value2 refers to the number of sides on the die used. (Example: Val1=5, Val2=4 – generates a damage range of 5-20 (ave 13). If no values are specified, the MUD will generate the appropriate damage done by the weapon based on its level. This table is intended to use as a guideline when generating damage for weapons, it's based on the numbers the MUD generates; 1 1 - 6 (3) 30 8 - 30 (19) 5 2 - 10 (6) 35 11 - 32 (21) 10 5 - 13 (9) 40 12 - 38 (25) 15 5 - 17 (11) 45 14 - 41 (27) 20 6 - 22 (14) 50 15 - 43 (29) 25 10 - 24 (17) Lever/button flags UP UNLOCK LOCK D_NORTH D_SOUTH 1 2 4 8 16 Trigger is UP Trigger unlocks something Trigger locks something Affects the north exit Affects the south exit D_EAST D_WEST D_UP D_DOWN DOOR CONTAINER * OPEN CLOSE PASSAGE OLOAD * MLOAD * TELEPORT TELEPORTALL * TELEPORTPLUS * DEATH * CAST * FAKEBLADE * RAND4 RAND6 TRAPDOOR * 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096 8192 16384 32768 65536 131072 262144 524288 1048567 2097152 4194304 8388608 16777216 Affects the east exit Affects the west exit Affects the exit up Affects the exit down Affects a door Affects a container Opens something Closes something Creates a passage Loads up an object Loads up a mobile Teleports the puller Teleports everyone in the room Teleports everything in the room Causes instant death Casts a spell (sn in value1) Lever is a wax covered sword blade (OUCH) Randomizes the exits N, S, E, W Randomizes the exits N, S, E, W, U, D Opens a trap door, everthing falls down
