A creator (sometimes also called a wizard or wiz) is
|
|
a user on the mud that has access to special commands
|
|
that allow for the manipulation of game data.
|
|
|
|
A creator can, with some restrictions, edit files,
|
|
modify stats, create new rooms, objects, and NPC's.
|
|
They, like admins, are mud staff and share the
|
|
responsibility of improving and enhancing it.
|
|
|
|
If you are a new creator, take the time to get familiar
|
|
with how the mud works. You have your very own workroom.
|
|
To go to it, type: home
|
|
|
|
There you can open your chest and get a standard set
|
|
of creator tools (sometimes also called wiztoys) and
|
|
get a sense for how things work.
|
|
|
|
Remember that although you have fantastic, superhuman
|
|
powers, you must use them responsibly. You have, for
|
|
example, the zap command, which lets you kill almost
|
|
anything instantly. Having the command, however, is
|
|
not permission to run through the mud zapping every
|
|
mob you see. Talk to your admin about what is ok
|
|
and not ok.
|
|
|
|
If you are new to this kind of mud, read the Player's
|
|
Handbook. If you dont have one on you, type:
|
|
|
|
clone /domains/default/obj/handbook
|
|
read chapter 1 in handbook
|
|
read chapter 2 in handbook
|
|
|
|
And so on. Once you've read the handbook, read over
|
|
the Creator FAQ at http://dead-souls.net/ds-creator-faq.html
|
|
and when you feel ready to start using your Creator
|
|
powers, start reading the Creator's Manual.
|
|
|
|
Contributing to a mud can be hard work, and if you've
|
|
never done it before, it'll be a steep learning curve.
|
|
However, remember that this mud has tons of documentation,
|
|
and this kind of mud is one of the easiest for newcomers.
|
|
Just relax, take your time, and don't get stressed.
