Basic Mudding 101

[Occultus]

examine (followed by an optional object name) gives you the full details of any room or object, including it's id number and all the flags that are set on it.

So you just type examine in one of those rooms.

Example (in the west hallway on the 66th floor):

How do you delete a goof object?

@dig (whatever you wanna call the room)

[Write down the number of the rooms you make and make a record of them]

@link me = #(a room number)

[This will link YOU to whatever room you specify, use 'home' to get there]

@describe (what you are describing) = (description of said thing)

@open (exit name) = #(a room number)

Now you have a room, with a description and an exit.

You can build more rooms, and link them together. You can put objects in rooms, @create <object> ... and you can lock objects (meaning people cant use them or pick them up, or even lock exits) @lock <object> = <keyname>

This is the basics. Eventually im fairly sure you can make Mobs Mobile-Objects. Which are objects that move around on their own. Some can be rooms, or just items. Like a walking Refrigerator that has a land of icecream and leftovers inside. Or a key with legs. Or a grue that plans to eat you. ...

Go to floor 66, and link your rooms, lets build chaos

Sorry if this has been covered--I've been out for about 2 weeks (real life intruding), and am trying madly to catch up.

Has anyone tried replicating things from the dream world in the MUD and seeing if its reflected in the craigslist postings? I'm just thinking of all of the dreams in which BA said things about writing on walls, or trying to get out of buildings, or turning on coffeemakers.

Probably wouldn't achieve anything, but....

EDIT: just checked today's Craigslist thread, and it appears that's what you're doing. Duuuuh.
