ALIAS ALIASES
|
|
|
|
Usage: alias [alias name] [command]
|
|
|
|
An alias is a single command used to represent one or more other commands.
|
|
The ALIAS command can be used to manipulate your character's aliases. Type
|
|
ALIAS alone to see a list of your currently defined aliases.
|
|
|
|
> alias
|
|
|
|
Type ALIAS <alias name> <command> to create a new alias. The alias name must
|
|
be one word. The command can be any string. Aliases may not be nested or
|
|
used recursively. Any command may be overridden by an alias (other than the
|
|
ALIAS command itself, of course).
|
|
|
|
> alias gbb get bread bag
|
|
> alias gac get all corpse
|
|
|
|
Type ALIAS <alias-name> to delete an alias that has already been defined.
|
|
|
|
> alias gbb
|
|
|
|
A semicolon (";") can be used to define multiple actions to be taken with
|
|
a single alias.
|
|
|
|
> alias eat get bread bag; eat bread
|
|
|
|
Note that the 'eat' contained within the eat alias is interpreted as the MUD's
|
|
internal eat command; aliases may not be nested or used recursively. The
|
|
variables $1, $2, ... $9 may be used to represent arguments given with
|
|
an alias.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
> alias killem cast 'fireball' $1; cast 'harm' $2
|
|
> killem fido mage
|
|
|
|
Would cast fireball on fido, followed by casting harm on mage. Variables
|
|
may be used repeatedly and in any order:
|
|
|
|
> alias helpem cast 'heal' $1; cast 'bless' $1; cast 'armor' $1
|
|
|
|
The special variable $* represents the entire input line after an alias:
|
|
|
|
> alias tr tell rasmussen $*
|
|
> tr hi there, how are you today?
|
|
You tell Rasmussen, 'hi there, how are you today?'
|

ANSI COLOR
|
|
|
|
Usage: color [off | sparse | normal | complete]
|
|
|
|
If you have a color-capable terminal and wish to see useful color-coding
|
|
of information, use the COLOR command to set the level of coloring you see.
|
|
|
|
> color off
|
|
This command disables all color.
|
|
|
|
> color sparse
|
|
> color normal
|
|
> color complete
|
|
|
|
These three commands turn color on to various levels. Experiment to see
|
|
which level suits your personal taste.
|
|
|
|
'color' with no argument will display your current color level.
|
|
|
|
Using color will slow down the speed at which you see messages VERY slightly.
|
|
The effect is more noticeable on slower connections. Even if you have
|
|
color turned on, non-colorized messages will not be slowed down at all.

BACKSTAB
|
|
|
|
Thief only.
|
|
|
|
Backstab is a way to sneak up on a person and attempt to place your dagger
|
|
in his back, at exactly the point where it does most damage. A successful
|
|
backstab gives a damage multiplier, depending on level:
|
|
|
|
Levels Multiplier
|
|
------ ----------
|
|
1-7 2
|
|
8-13 3
|
|
14-20 4
|
|
21-30 5
|
|
|
|
The chance of successfully backstabbing a person depends on how well you
|
|
have practiced backstab at your guild. You can always backstab sleeping
|
|
people.

BASH
|
|
|
|
Fighters only.
|
|
|
|
The success of a bash depends upon how well you are learned. To bash someone
|
|
is to attempt to 'knock' that person over. If you succeed you will inflict
|
|
minor damage, and cause the victim to fall on it's rear. The victim will be
|
|
unable to issue any commands for 2 rounds of violence. If you miss you loose
|
|
your balance and fall.
|
|
|
|
A bash makes you unable to type commands for 2 rounds of violence.
|
|
|
|
Note that hitting a person who is resting/sitting will inflict 1.5 * damage.

BRIEF
|
|
|
|
Usage: brief

|
|
|

the room you are in; only the name of the room and the people and objects
|
|
there. Unless you're very familiar with the area in which you're traveling,
|
|
however, it is not advisable to use this command. Frequently, you will find
|
|
small but vital hints in the descriptions of the rooms: An extra peek at your
|
|
surroundings could mean the difference between life and death!
|
|
|
|
If you explicitly type 'look', you will always see the full room description,
|
|
even in BRIEF mode.

GROUP
|

Usage: group [player]

adds or removes <player> from your group. GROUP ALL adds everyone who is
|
|
following you to your group.
|
|
|
|
If you are a group member, then you will share experience points for killing
|
|
monsters equally among the group. Experience points will only be shared among
|
|
group members that are in the same location, at the time of the killing
|
|
blow. Sharing is regardless of whether the group members have been
|
|
participating in the fight.
|
|
|
|
Group with no argument shows a list of people with whom you are grouped.
|
|
"group all" groups all people who are following you.
|
|
|
|
To make a group, a "leader" must be selected. All members of the group
|
|
must then "follow" the leader using the follow command. The leader should
|
|
NOT follow anyone at all! The leader can now toggle group membership for
|
|
each player in the group, by using "group <player_name>". The leader
|
|
should remember to include himself in the group.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
Quifael and Redferne wishes to group with Dragon.
|
|
|
|
Quifael : "follow dragon"
|
|
Redferne: "follow dragon"
|
|
(Dragon should be following no one but himself)
|
|
Dragon : "group dragon"
|
|
Dragon : "group redferne"
|
|
Dragon : "group quifael"
|
|
|
|
Later when Dragon get upset at Quifael (because he is sleeping all the time)

HOUSE
|
|
|
|
The HOUSE command is used to add or remove guests from your house's guest
|
|
list. You must be standing in your house to use this command. Only the
|
|
primary owner of a house (not guests) may change the guest list using the
|
|
HOUSE command.
|
|
|
|
Usage: house [<player name>]
|
|
|
|
Typing 'house' with no arguments gives a list of the people currently on
|
|
your house's guest list. Typing 'house' with the name of a player will add
|
|
that player to your guest list if the player is not on the list, or will
|
|
remove the player from the guest list if the player is already on the list.
|
|
The player specified must be in the player database for the MUD, although
|
|
he or she does not necessarily have to be logged on at the time.
|
|
|
|
Guests of your house will be able to enter your house until you remove them
|
|
from the guest list.

junk <number> coins

points, just as if you had dropped it in the dump.

|
level you reach the harder you kick. There is one small catch -- whenever
|
|
you kick (or miss) you will be unable to type any command for three
|
|
rounds of 'Violence' -- so be sure that you do not need to flee!

SAVE
|
|
|
|
Usage: save
|
|
|
|
Save your persona. This includes experience points, strength, gold, etc.
|
|
Your equipment is also saved in the (unlikely?) event of a crash. The
|
|
game periodically auto-saves you and your equipment, so it is not necessary
|
|
to have your client auto-save you as well.
|
|
|
|
You CANNOT load a saved version if you die -- your persona still exists,
|
|
but you will lose experience, and all your objects stay in the game, with
|
|
your corpse.
|
|
|
|
Note that the SAVE command only saves your equipment in the event of a
|
|
crash. If you are leaving the game normally, SAVE will NOT save your
|
|
equipment -- you must find an Inn to store your belongings.

|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
> say Hey, does anyone know how to get to Oz?
|
|
> tell catje hi, how are you?
|
|
|
|
You can use ' as a shorthand for say, as in:
|
|
|
|
> ' hello there.
|
|
|
|
Shout broadcasts your message to everyone is your geographic zone. Holler
|
|
broadcasts to everyone in the game but costs 20 movement points. You must
|
|
be level 2 before you can use shout and yell.

STEAL
|
|
|
|
Thief Only.
|
|
|
|
Usage: steal <item> <victim>
|
|
|
|
Use steal to steal gold or items from people. The chance of not getting
|
|
caught depends on how well you have practiced steal, and if the person
|
|
is asleep.
|
|
|
|
Due to misuse of the steal command, it is now illegal to steal from other
|
|
players. Doing so will get you a flag for your trouble.

|
|
this command may be one of surprise, but you'll get used to it. You'll
|
|
have to, at any rate, since certain things in the game depend on this
|
|
particular notion of time; the opening hours of the shops, for example.
