Build an Item, a Weapon, an NPC, a Room (i.e., game objects)

the most basic features a game object should have are: (1) a filename (i.e. create item book_desert) (short name, no spaces) (2) a name (i.e. modify book_desert desert) (3) a short description (i.e. modify desert short a book titled, "Desert") (4) a long description (i.e. modify desert long A text that plays significantly on the invisible committee's concept of desert and also desertion, this is a gloves-off assault on optimism and the hope of saving the world.)

Make an item

• create item book
• modify item name atassa
• modify atassa short a copy of atassa
• modify atassa long It's a thin, red book. You just kind of have the urge to rip it in half.

Make a weapon

• create weapon bomb
• modify bomb name bomb
• modify bomb short a bomb-ass bomb
• modify bomb long This is a bomb. It's like ticking and shit. Maybe you should throw it.

• create npc kitten
• modify kitten name kitten

• modify kitten short an adorable fluffy kitten

• to add smells you must first make an object and add smells to that and then add the object to the room. set the object name as here for example, so people can 'smell here'.

Make a Room

PROTIP: You cannot delete items from room inventories if that item is also in your own personal inventory.

• create room e pillowfort
• modify here short A pillow fort
• modify here long A small, comfy room full of blankets and pillows. Maybe you should build a fort?!
• modify here climate indoors
• modify here ambientlight 100
• modify here nightlight 100
• add kitten to room

to create a room you start with 'create room [direction] [filename]' let's say 'create room north pillowroom'. This should then create the room. Once you have done that you will next have to modify the room using 'modify'. first we will start with the room descriptions. it's the same as the other items, you stand in the room and use 'modify here long A small, comfy room full of blankets and pillows. Maybe you should build a fort?!' To be clear, you use here instead of the name as with objects. as you are standng in a room you want to modify.:) The 'long' will be the room description you see on entry and the 'short' will be the room name.

After this we must set some veriables on the room, to stop it being treated as outside and whatnot. The ones i have found important so far are: '[modify here ] climate indoors' for indoors and 'outdoors' for outdoors. 'modify here ambientlight 100','nightlight 100'. Both of these i am guessing at the numbers but they seem to be high enough for the room to be treated as always light and not affected by the day/night cycle.

Once we've done this you can start populating your room. This is very easy to do. if you type 'add' on it's own and 'help add' it spells it all out quite nicely. But the base of it is that you hold or have the item, furniture or npc you want to add as part of the room. say we recently made some pillows and blankets for our fort room, we would then 'add pillow to room' and if all goes smoothly you should get a prompt asking how many you want to put in the room. These items will now spawn with the room, on resets or if the room is cloned or moved. If you want to remove the item from the room you can simply 'delete item'

view objects you can manipulate:

• scan here
• scan inventory

Alter your Appearance

• describe <MESSAGE>

• You must include an instance of $N at least once in your description to denote your name. E.g. 'describe $N is nondescript.' would set my description to 'notnull is nondescript.'

Give your emotes color

• alias emote emote %^GREEN%^$*%^RESET
