1. Input Types

   These are some standard input types that will be used in the
explanation of certain attributes.

Space delineated:  
   Allows for defining multiple names in one string.  For instance, 
if you want to specify both multiple altnames on an object with the 
title key, you would then do altnames = "rusty iron big" so that it 
will respond to either "rusty", "iron", and "big" as well as the title 
"key"

Single line with spaces:  
   Used for the location title, it allows for spaces, but not more 
than one line. 

Multiple line:  
   Used for descriptions and briefs mainly, it supports several lines.

Numerical: 
   As it states, a single number. Used for weight, size, speed, and others.

Identifier: 
   A name of an object, either (name) or (name)@(area)



2. Common Attributes

   Listed are some common attributes, their description, and how to modify
them.

Name: Not settable except on creation (use rename to change)

Title: Identifier, no area. 
   Command: set title (titlestring)

Altnames: Space delineated.  Alternate names that this will respond to.  If 
 you have multiple altnames, you separate each one by spaces.  For example, 
 a rusty iron key could have altnames = "iron rusty" so it will respond to 
 both rusty and iron as well as the title "key"
   Command: set altnames (altnamestring)

Clones: Space delineated, in the format of (objname)@(area) (number of), 
 ... where (objname)@(area) defines the clone object in this location, 
 and (number of) is how many items to put here.  number_of is required for
 merger objects but not other objects.  This works for all types of objects.
   Command: set mergers (mergerstring)


Guards:  Space delineated, in the format of (objname)@(area), this specifies 
 a mobile or mobiles that guard this object.  So if you try to pick it up or 
 close a door, they won't let you.  Of course they have to be nearby to prevent
 you so if dead, nothing will stop you.
   Command: set guards (mobilenames)


Location: Identifier. If area is not included, default is the area of this 
 object
   Command: set location (mudobjectname)@(area)  
         or set location (mudobjectname)

Brief0: Multiple line.  The brief description for a mudobject that appears 
 when the player types "look".  Brief0 is the description used before 
 anyone picks it up for the first time.  So if you want it to say "The 
 object lies on the table", then it will say that until the player gets 
 it.  You want this since if they drop the object later, there may not be 
 a table around
   Command: set brief0, then use editor.

Brief1: Same as brief0, but after the object has been gotten already.
   Command: set brief1, then use editor

Description: Multiple line. A description that is displayed when the 
 mudobject is examined.
   Command: set desc, then use editor

Size: Numerical.  The size of the object.  One unit size is about 3-4 cm 
 square.  See size and weight tables for more details.
   Command: set size (number)

Capacity: Numerical.  Will not show up unless the container itemflag 
is set.  It defines how much the container can carry, in size.
   Command: set capacity (number)


Weight: Numerical.  The weight of an object.  One unit weight is about 
10 grams. See size and weight tables in sizeweight.txt for more details.
   Command: set weight (number)


Itemflags: The item flags, see flags.txt for more details
   Command: set itemflag (flagname) (on|off)


Specials:  Space Delineated. Identifies a special or multiple specials 
to attach to this object.  The specials should be identified as 
(specialname)@(area) 
   Command: set special (specialnames)

Clones:    See Common Attributes
Specials:  See Common Attributes

Subareas: Defines which subareas this mobile can walk into.  You can use 
 this to limit the roaming capabilities of a mobile.  If left blank, the
 mobile can roam anywhere (except into a room marked NoMobile).  Space 
 delineated, you can add as many as you want.
   Command: set subareas (subareas)

BareWeapon: This is a way to specify what the mobile attacks with if they 
 have no weapon.  If left blank, the default is bare fists.  You would not, 
 however, want a dragon attacking with bare fists as they don't really have
 fists.  You would want to set 'claws' here instead so it says "The dragon 
 hits you hard with his claws'.  
   Command: set bareweapon (string)

Wield: This is where you define the weapon that the mobile will start out 
 wielding.  If the weapon is already in the mobile's inventory, it will
 just wield it.  If not, it will clone it first and then wield it.
   Command: set wield (left|right) (weaponname@area)

Wear: This is where you define what the mobile will be wearing.  As with 
 wield, if it is not in the mobile's inventory already, it will clone it and 
 then wear it.  You can put several, so it is space-delineated
   Command: set wear (name@area) (name@area) ....


Brief: Like brief1 in Common Attributes, but mobiles only have one brief 
 that does not change.
   Command: set brief, then use editor

Speed: Numerical. The percentage chance, from 0-100, that each second the 
 mobile will move.  The higher the number, the faster the mobile will move 
 around.  Using 100 is generally not recommended, as the mobile will tear 
 around the mud a little too fast.
   Command: set speed (number)

Aggression: Numerical. The percent chance that in a given second, the mobile 
 will attack a player or mobile in the room.  (You can set what it will 
 attack using the indflags.
   Command: set aggression (number)

Strength: Numerical. This indicates the strength of the mobile (and how hard 
 they will hit when bare-handed).  The damage done is 1/4 the strength you 
 give the mobile.  It also indicates how well they wield a certain weapon, so 
 ensure your strength matches the depstr attribute on the weapon.  
   Command: set strength (number)

Dexterity: Numerical. This indicates the dexterity of the mobile (and how 
 hard they will hit when bare-handed).  It influences how well they wield a 
 certain weapon, so ensure your dexterity matches the depdex attribute on the 
 weapon.  
   Command: set dexterity (number)

Intel: Numerical.  This indicates the intelligence of the mobile.  It 
 influences how well the mobile will cast certain spells, so if you attach a 
 spell capability to the mobile, ensure they have the intelligence to cast 
 it effectively.  
   Command:  set intel (number)

Wimpy: This value sets the health that the mobile will flee at.  Setting this 
 to 0 will make the mobile fight to the death.
   Command:  set wimpy (number)

MaxMagic: The max magical power this mobile can have.
   Command:  set wimpy (number)

MaxEndur: The max endurance this mobile can have.
   Command:  set wimpy (number)

Currency: This is the object that will act as the default currency for 
this shop.  The shopkeeper will list all his/her prices in terms of this 
money object.
   Command:  set currency (moneyname)@(area)


Shop item:
   Alias: This is what the object will be referred to by the shopkeeper.  
    It can only be set on creation of this item by typing "new 
    item (alias)".
      Command:  none
   ItemName: This is the actual object that this item refers to.  It is 
    what will be cloned when a player buys the item.
      Command:  set itemname (alias) (name)@(area)
   Value: This is the price index that indicates the cost of this item 
    (not the number of currency, but the price index).
      Command:  set value (alias) (number)
   NumberOf: This is the number of this item that will be available for 
    sale.  If you want the shopkeeper to only sell 1 of a particular sword
    each zone reset, set this to 1.  However, if anyone sells that sword 
    to the shopkeeper, this number will go up by 1.  For an unlimited 
    amount, set this to 9999.
      Command:  set numberof (alias) (number)
   ItemDesc: This is how the shopkeeper will describe this object when 
    the player asks about buying it.
      Command:  set itemdesc (alias), then use editor
