Channels are an out-of-character (OOC) means for users
|
|
to communicate with each other. You may hear the terms
|
|
"channel" and "line" used interchangeably.
|
|
|
|
There are two main types of channels: local and intermud.
|
|
The default Dead Souls distribution uses these channels as
|
|
local:
|
|
|
|
cre - only creators hear this
|
|
gossip - general offtopic stuff
|
|
newbie - everyone can hear this unless they turn it off
|
|
thief - channel for the thief class
|
|
fighter - channel for the fighter class
|
|
error - system errors
|
|
death - death announcements
|
|
mage - channel for the mage class
|
|
priest - channel for the priest class
|
|
explorer - channel for the explorer class
|
|
admin - only admins hear this
|
|
muds - announcements of muds connecting or disconnecting from i3
|
|
intermud - announcmenets of things like remote fingers and who
|
|
|
|
The following are intermud channels:
|
|
|
|
ds - Dead Souls mud code talk
|
|
ds_test - testing testing 1, 2, 3, etc
|
|
intergossip - general offtopic stuff
|
|
dchat - friendly offtopic stuff
|
|
lpuni - LPUniversity discussion
|
|
intercre - general technical chatter
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, players do not have access to intermud channels.
|
|
Mud admins are asked to maintain some level of adherence to
|
|
the channel topics from their users. Muds that violate the
|
|
router admin's interpretation of "on-topic" will be asked
|
|
politely, if possible, to conform to the channel standards.
|
|
|
|
Continued violations subject the offending mud to potential
|
|
banning.
|
|
|
|
Hate speech is not tolerated, and flaming is frowned
|
|
upon, though each mud is expected to police itself and
|
|
enforce these standards on their own.
|
|
|
|
If you don't like these rules, use a router other than the default.
|
|
|
|
For local channels of course, none of this applies. Whatever
|
|
local rules are in place, that's what must be obeyed.
|
|
|
|
Some tips:
|
|
---------
|
|
To turn on/off a channel, type its name by itself, like this:
|
|
newbie
|
|
|
|
To know who is listening to a channel:
|
|
list newbie
|
|
list german@dead souls demo
|
|
|
|
To see a brief history of channel messages:
|
|
hist newbie
