Human Telnet Commands

Movement Commands

Before you can do much, you need to know how to get around the Jamud. The Jamud supports abbreviated commands, which means that rather than having to enter 'north' to move north, you simply have to enter 'n' and you will go north. The following table has movement related commands and their abbreviations.
 

Command	Action	Abbreviation
north	Moves your character north	n
east	Moves your character east	e
south	Moves your character south	s
west	Moves your character west	w
up	Moves your character up	u
down	Moves your character down	d
<Exitname>	Moves your character through the <Exitname>	*
go <Exitname>	Moves your character through the <Exitname>	*
teleport <area>	Teleports your character to the area
teleport <object>	Teleports your character to the parent container of any object
teleport <any> <area>	Teleports anything into the child container of any area/object
back	Teleports your character to the previous location
recall	Teleports your character directly to the recall point (your home)	reca

If you try to move your character in a direction that isn't available, you will receive a message that tells you that you have made a mistake. To know what exits to the current room are available, you can enter 'exits'.   Teleportation commands are useful for building but can damper the realism.

Social Commands

You will need to talk to people quite a lot on the Jamud, either for help or to help others, and during quests you may need to ask questions. It also doesnt hurt to say hello to people as you become a regular. Here is the table for conversation related commands, and their abbreviations. 

Command	Action	Abbreviation
gossip	Sends your conversation accross the whole Jamud and is the most popular	gos
chat	Same functionality of gossip, but most people are used to gossip	ch
say	Allows you to talk to anyone in the same room as you	sa
whisper <name>	Sends a private message to someone in the same room as you	whi
grats	Sends a congratulation message across the whole Jamud, use on special occasions like levelling	grat
auction	Allows you to buy/sell equipment to other players, but is never used as most eq is free	au
tell <name>	Sends a private message to anyone you specify	te
reply	Sends a tell to the last person that sent you a tell, useful if someone invisible is talking to you	re
shout	Allows anyone in the same zone as you to hear you	sh
holler	Like gossip, but takes 20 move points from you	holl
qsay	Anyone with the (Qst) flag will hear you if you use qsay	qs
cgossip	Sends a gossip to everyone in your clan only	cg

Hopefully all of these are pretty easy to follow, the only thing I should say is careful about using the 'reply' command. Sometimes you can be typing a response to someone, when another person will send you a private message, and as you are 'replying' to whoever sent you the last message, you may send that message to the wrong person. Surprisingly enough it happens quite often.

Object Commands

You will come into using many objects throughout the Jamud, so its best you know what to do with them. Here is the table for object related commands and their abbreviations.
 

Command	Action	Abbreviation
inventory	Allows you to see what your currently carrying with you	i
equipment	Allows you to see what your currently wearing	eq
examine <object>	Gets a more detailed description of an object in your inventory	exa <object>

sacrifice all.<object>	Deletes all of that type of   objects from the ground, in the current room from the Jamud	sac all.<object>
sacrifice all	Deletes all of  the objects from the ground, in the current room from the Jamud	sac all

Whenever I have mentioned a command like 'get all.<object>' you can actually enter, 'g all.b' and it will get all of the objects that starts with the letter b. Same with junking, the command 'j all.s' will junk all the objects that start with the letter s. Using the 'all' string in your commands is very useful. Whenever you kill a mob, you can do a 'exa corpse' to see what equipment that mob was carrying. If there is anything you want, do a 'g <object> corpse' to get that object, or even enter 'g all corpse' to get all of the equipment from that corpse.

3.4 - Combat Commands

During the course of your adventures you will want to kill many, many mobs. As easy as this sounds, there are a couple of ways to start a battle. Here is the table for combat related commands and their abbreviations.
 

Information Commands

There are many, many, many other commands in a Jamud, so it would be tiresome to list them all here, but some very helpful commands that give you information about yourself or others. Here is the table for information related commands and their abbreviations. Some of these I have explained before but belong under a couple of different categories.

B1 OLC Commands

This section of the appendix attempts to document the OLC (On Line Creation) system for Labyrinth MUD. It is comprised of three sections: rooms, mobiles, and objects.

This section builds on the available on-line documentation and and adds complete tables for each option, last minute updates, and advice. Some of this material is derived from older sources such as Gabrielle Taylor's rom24.doc building guide.

The OLC commands follow with examples and/or descriptions of their use.

B1.1 CREATE

Syntax:
create room <TID@LID>
create mobile <TID@LID>
create object <TID@LID>

This command creates a new room, mobile or object for further editing. If you create a mobile or object a reset is automatially created in the room where you are standing where that object will "repop" during an area reset. You must be physically in the area you are building or modifying for the "create mob" and "create object" commands to work. The given TID@LID is checked to ensure it lies within the builder's allowed range.

A TID@LID is a number used to represent a distinct object, room, or mob. When you begin building you will be assigned a range of TID@LIDs which will become your area, for example, 11200-11249. This gives you enough TID@LIDs for 50 different rooms, mobiles (monsters), and objects.

B1.2 ROOM

The 'room' command is used to edit a room online. You character has to be in the room you wish to edit. You can check out the settings on a room that you have OLC privileges for with the command "stat room". The room commands are:
 

room clan <clan name>
room description <room description line>
room flags [+-=] <flags>
room heal <heal rate>
room mana <mana rate>
room name <name of room>
room owners <owners>
room sector <sector type>
room resets
room door
room exit
room extra
room purge

<clan name> is the name of a current clan on The Labyrinth.
This command restricts a room to members of a certain clan, and should only be used for clan houses.

<room description line> is a line of text. You can add more than one description line by using a "+", in the same way that multi-line notes can be created. Similarly 'room description -' will remove the last line of a room description. Use 'room description c <line number > <room description line> to replace an existing line of room description with different text. If you wish to clear a room description use 'room description NULL'.

<flags> can be one or more of the following:

 

court	Room is a courthouse
dark	Room is always dark
indoor	Room is inside and impervious to weather. Remember to set this for all indoor rooms!
no_mob	Mobiles will not wander into this room
no_recall	Room is impervious to recall, summon, gate, and teleport
gods_only	Only immortals (gods) can enter this room
imp_only	Only the highest level immortals (implementors) can enter this room
heroes_only	No mortal under  level 51 can enter this room
newbies_only	No mortal over level 5 can enter this room
safe	No fighting can take place in this room
private	No more than two creature can be in this room
solitary	No more than one creature can be in this room
pet_shop	This is a room where mortals can buy pets. See appendix B2.
law	No charming allowed. Used for ultra-good cities
nowhere	The "where" command will not detect creatures in this room
no_scan	The "scan" command will not detect creatures in this room.
no_cast_mage	No mage spells can be cast in this room
no_cast_cleric	No cleric spells can be cast in this room

<name of room> is the title of the room. It's usually a short phrase. See "The Builder's Guide to Style and Long Life" appendix A for the correct format.

<sector type> determines how many movement points it costs to enter this room. The default sector type is city; remember to change this where appropriate. It can be one of the following:

 

inside	1 point
field	2 points
forest	3 points
hills	4 points
mountain	6 points
desert	7 points (will affect thirst and hunger)
air	2 points (must be able to fly)
city	2 points (room is always lit)
water_swim	4 points
water_noswim	(boat required)
underwater	(usually requires spells)
underwater_bottom	(usually requires spells)

ROOM RESETS

This command shows you what objects and mobs "repop" in this room when the area resets.

ROOM DOOR

The room door can be used to add a door to an exit, remove a door from an exit, set a door's key, set the state to which a door resets, and toggle a doors pass-proof and pick-proof flags. Note that you must create an exit with the "room exit" command before you can create a door. The syntax is as follows:

room door <direction> none [oneway]
room door <direction> open [oneway]
room door <direction> closed [oneway]
room door <direction> locked [oneway]
room door <direction> nopass [oneway]
room door <direction> pickproof [oneway]
room door <direction> key <TID@LID> [oneway]

These sub-commands have the following affects:

 

none	remove an existing door
open	add a door to the exit, its default state will be open
closed	add a door to the exit, its default state will be closed
locked	add a door to the exit, its default state will be closed and locked
nopass	toggles whether or not the door can be bypassed with the "pass door" spell
pickproof	toggles whether or not the door can be bypassed by the "pick lock" skill
key <TID@LID>	sets the lock key to object <TID@LID>

*** Be sure to add the appropriate keyword to your door by setting the exit description (see ROOM EXTRA).

ROOM EXIT

This command is used to create an exit from one room to another. The syntax is as follows:

room exit <direction> <destination> TID@LID [oneway]
room exit <direction> 0

When an exit is created the reverse exit (from the destination room) will be automatically be created. The behavior can be prevented by specifying the "oneway" switch. If this is done any exits created will only be one-way (from the current room to the destination room).

An exit can be removed by specifying "0" as the destination TID@LID.

ROOM EXTRA

This command is used to add an extra description to a room, or to set an exit description. The syntax is as follows:

room extra <key word(s)> <description>
room extra <key word(s)> NULL

For an extra description that has more than one keyword, put the keywords in single quotes, e.g. "room extra 'mural wall' A hunting scene has been painted on the wall."

If you create a room extra description using a direction (north, south, east, west, up, or down) as the keyword it's called an exit description.

When a door is created it is given the keyword <direction> by default. You can (and should) add a keyword such as "door," "curtain," "gate," "trapdoor," etc. using an exit description. The syntax is:

room extra '<direction> "<keyword 1>" "<keyword(n)>" '   <description>

Multiline exit/extra descriptions can be created in the same way as room descriptions (using "+" to add a line, "-" to remove a line). A room or exit description can be removed using the NULL syntax above.

ROOM PURGE

"room purge" will remove all resets attached to a room. Use "room resets" to see the resets.

B1.3 MOB

This command lets you make changes to all mobs of a given TID@LID. Your builder character has to be standing somewhere within your area for this command to work. You must create a mob with the "create" command before you can edit it with these commands. You can check on the status of your mob at any time by typing "stat mob <TID@LID of your mob>" or "stat mob <name of your mob>" (see <names> below).

MOB has the following sub-commands:

mob <TID@LID> name <names>
mob <TID@LID> short <short description>
mob <TID@LID> long <long description>
mob <TID@LID> description [+] <description>
mob <TID@LID> level <level>
mob <TID@LID> act [+] <act flags>
mob <TID@LID> race <race>
mob <TID@LID> auto
mob <TID@LID> spec <special function>
mob <TID@LID> immune [+] <immune flags>
mob <TID@LID> vuln [+] <vuln flags>
mob <TID@LID> resist [+] <resist flags>
mob <TID@LID> offense [+] <offense flags>
mob <TID@LID> damtype <damage type>
mob <TID@LID> damage <n>d<n>+<n>
mob <TID@LID> hp <n>d<n>+<n>
mob <TID@LID> mana <n>d<n>+<n>
mob <TID@LID> hitroll <hitroll>
mob <TID@LID> sex <gender>
mob <TID@LID> limit <limit>
mob <TID@LID> roomlimit <roomlimit>
mob <TID@LID> clone
mob <TID@LID> purge
mob <TID@LID> resets
mob <TID@LID> alignment <alignment>
mob <TID@LID> wealth <silver>
mob <TID@LID> size <size>
mob <TID@LID> position <position>
mob <TID@LID> aggression [+] <aggression flags>
mob <TID@LID> affect [+] <affected flags>
mob <TID@LID> equip <object TID@LID [location]>
mob <TID@LID> shop

<short description> is the name that players see for this mob in combat and when they interact with it.
For example: "mob <TID@LID of your mob> short Groob the elfslayer" will configure your mob so that if someone pats it on the head they will see "You pat Groob the elfslayer on his head". When they fight this mob they will see messages like "Groob the elfslayer dodges your blow". Short descriptions are typically proper names, proper names with epitephs, or generic phrases like "a marauding orc" or "a green troll". If your mob is unique you can use phrases like "the statue of Marhuk". Do not capitalize the first letter of the short description unless it's a proper name. Never capitalize "a" or "the." The short description should be kept, well, short -- under 20 characters is recommended.

<long description> is the description of this mob that players will see when they enter the room (provided, of course, that the mob is visible to them). It is typically a complete sentence, punctuated appropriately.
For example: "mob <TID@LID of your mob> long A marauding orc brandishes a rusty sword with evil intent." will cause people who walk into the room with your mob to see "A marauding orc brandishes a rusty sword with evil intent." Make sure that you don't set this to something like "The marauding orc turns toward you and says, 'make my day'." since the character walking into the room might be invisible, hidden, or 30 levels higher than the orc. "mob <TID@LID of your mob> long NULL" will create a mob with no long description.

See appendix C "Tips, Tricks, and War Stories" for more on names, short and long descriptions.

<description> is one or more lines of text that give a detailed description of the mob when a character looks at it. Like room descriptions, this should be at least three lines long and conform to the same style rules. This command works similarly to "room description".

After you have created a mob and described it, you can fill in its remaining attributes:

<level> is the numerical level you wish this mob to be. It can be frrom 1 to 60. Always set this before using "mob auto".

<race> sets the mob's race. Set this next. If you don't see the exact race you want, just choose one that is close. Use your imagination! If you strongly feel there should be a new race post a note to Murgen. Race can be only one of the following:

 

unique	Mob is unclassifiable. Not recommended.

The syntax for these commands is derived from the old Dungeons&Dragons notion of using combinations of dice to yield random numbers in a certain range. The syntax means:"<number of dice to roll> d <highest value any one die can yield (number of sides to the die)> + <integer added to the result>". For example "mob damage 5d5+10" will configure the mob so that every time it successfully hits it will do between 15 and 35 points of damage before being modified for things like strength, armor class, etc.

These values are automatically set by the "mob auto" command. Unless you really know what you're doing it's best not to mess with them. Changing these values can upset game balance (read B3 "Game Balance  Policies & Rules"). Having said this, it may be appropriate to give tough spell casting mobs a little more mana than normal.

<hitroll> is a number representing the mob's bonus to its chance to hit in combat. This is automatically set by "mob auto". Adjust this value up or down only to reflect truly exceptional fighting ability or clumsiness, and even then only a couple points.

<gender> sets the mobs gender. It can be only one of the following:

 

none	Mob is a "it" (is neither male nor female -- use sparingly)
male	Mob is male.
female	Mob is female.
either	Mob will randomly be set to male or female when reset.

<roomlimit> sets how many mobs of this TID@LID can exist in the same room at any time. Once this limit has been reached, new mobs of this TID@LID will not longer reset into the room even if their <limit> hasn't been reached yet. They will try to pop up in other rooms where this mob has a reset, or if they have also reached their <roomlimit> in those rooms they will not pop up at all. This setting is highly recommended to prevent too many resetting mobs from piling up on top of each other.

MOB <TID@LID> CLONE

This commands creates a new reset is the room you're standing in for the mob whose TID@LID you specify. It will also automatically load the mob into the room.

Note: Use the command "load mob <TID@LID>" to create a mob in the room temporarily. It will only last until the next reboot or room purge.

MOB PURGE

Syntax:

mob <TID@LID> purge
mob <TID@LID> purge room
mob <TID@LID> purge all

The command "mob <TID@LID purge>" removes the most recently added reset of that mob in the room. Specifying "room" removes all mob resets with the given TID@LID for the current room; specifying "all" removes all resets of this mob in the current area.

Note: Use the command "purge <name of mob>" to remove a mob from the room temporarily. Unless you also remove the mob reset, it will repop the next time the area resets. The "purge" command by itself will purge everything in the room (mobs and objects).

MOB <TID@LID> RESETS

This command will tell you the TID@LIDs of the rooms where this mobile has resets and the equipment that resets with it.

<alignment> is an integer value from -1000 (evil) to 1000 (good). Most alignments should be from -500 to 500, with a good amount in the neutral range around zero. You should only set mobs with extreme alignments SPARINGLY. Remember that non-intelligent creatures often use  the "noalign" act flag.

<silver> is the number of silver pieces the mob typically carries. Keep this low if you set it at all. Be VERY careful not to add lots of money to your mobs and contribute to "game inflation". Note: Not all builder will be able to use this command.

<size> is a very important attribute to set! Do not forget to set the size, as it has many far reaching effects. The size can be set to only one of the following:

 

tiny	insects, small birds
small	small animals, small halflings
medium	most humanoids
large	horses, giant races, ogres, things of this sort
huge	very large creatures, small dragons, wyverns
giant	VERY large creatures - leviathans, dragons, titans

<aggression> flags specifies the kinds of characters this mob will automatically attack. The aggressive "mob act" flag has to be set in order for this to work. If no aggression flag are set the mob will typically aggress against all characters less 5 levels over its own level.

The agression flags can be one or more of the following:

MOB SHOP

This mobile sub-command allows you to make a shopkeeper. As soon as one of these commands is used the mob will automatically start functioning as a shopkeeper. The following fields can be specified:

mob <TID@LID> shop buy [+] <item types>
mob <TID@LID> shop hours <open hour> <close hour>
mob <TID@LID> shop margin <buy_margin> <sell_margin>
mob <TID@LID> shop purge

<open hour> and <close hour> set the hours that the mob will sell to players. The hours are specified as integers from 0 (midnight) to 23 (11:00 PM).

<buy_margin> and <sell_margin> specify the markup and/or overhead involved in the purchaser's buying and selling activity, respectively. These fields are specified as percentages of the item's actual value. The buy_margin is usually around 120, and the sell margin is usually around 80. Note that the overhead involved in both buying and selling can be greatly exaggerated for magical items such as potions, scrolls, and the like.

mob <TID@LID> shop purge
This use of this command will stop the mob from being a shopkeeper.

B1.4 OBJECT

This command lets you make changes to all objects of a given TID@LID. Before a TID@LID can be edited it must be first created with the "create" command while your builder character is standing in a room where you have OLC privileges. You can check the status of your object with the command "stat obj <TID@LID of your object>" or "stat obj <name of your object>".

The OBJECT editing command has the following sub-commands:

obj <TID@LID> name <names>
obj <TID@LID> short <short description>
obj <TID@LID> long <long description>
obj <TID@LID> desc [+] <description>
obj <TID@LID> level <level>
obj <TID@LID> extra <extra flags>
obj <TID@LID> cost <cost>
obj <TID@LID> weight <weight>
obj <TID@LID> wear <wear flags>
obj <TID@LID> type <item type>
obj <TID@LID> food
obj <TID@LID> liquid
obj <TID@LID> furniture
obj <TID@LID> use
obj <TID@LID> spell
obj <TID@LID> container
obj <TID@LID> light
obj <TID@LID> focus
obj <TID@LID> weapon
obj <TID@LID> armor
obj <TID@LID> money
obj <TID@LID> portal
obj <TID@LID> auto
obj <TID@LID> apply <apply location> <modifier>
obj <TID@LID> affect <affect flags>
obj <TID@LID> fit <body type>
obj <TID@LID> restrict <restrict type>
obj <TID@LID> messages
obj <TID@LID> clone
obj <TID@LID> purge
obj <TID@LID> put <container TID@LID>

<short> is a word or phrase that will be what object looks like while in someone's inventory or equipment. For example: "obj <your obj's TID@LID> short a heavy iron spear" will configure an object so that if you look at someone wearing it you will see: "<wielded a heavy iron spear". Do not capitalize the first letter of the short description unless it's a proper name. Never capitalize "a" or "the." Short descriptions should be under 20 characters.

<long> is a complete sentence that describes what an object looks like when lying in a room. For example: "obj <your obj's TID@LID> long A heavy iron spear with a worn leather grip leans against the wall."

OBJ DESC
This command can be used to give an object a "looked at" description. The default description is the same as the long description and should almost always be replaced using "object <TID@LID> desc." The descriptions should be at least three lines long; Characters who take the time to look at objects should be rewarded! The "obj desc" command has similar syntax to the "mob description" command and works as follows:

obj <TID@LID of your object> desc [+] description

"obj <TID@LID of your object> desc This spear is made of a heavy wood stained darkly with ash. The blade is of sharp"
"obj <TID@LID of your object> desc + iron, but it has been dented and chipped on some prior occasions."

<level> is the minimum level of character who can use the object. Objects should be of a level that falls within the level range defined in your area proposal. In general useful objects should be guarded in some way, either by a maze, secret doors, locked doors, or one or more mobs. It's customary to keep an object's level within 5 levels of the mob that owns/guards it.

<extra> is a space-separated list of one or more flags that give the object certain qualities. The flags can be one or more of the following:

 

glow	Item glows and can be seen in the dark.
hum	Objects hums.
dark	Object is very difficult to see.

nosac	Item is not suitable for a sacrifice.

<cost> is a number representing this item's value in silver pieces. Remember that 100 silver is equal to 1 gold piece. Do not overvalue your objects! Try and keep "found" objects cost low while objects to be purchased in a shop should cost more.

<weight> is the weight of your object in 1/10ths of an english pound. Weapons and armor will be given an automatic weight by the "obj auto" command, but be sure to double check that the value is rational. Try and be accurate as to the weight of your objects.

<wear> flags are a list of flags describing if an object can be picked up, and if so where it can be worn on one's body. The flags can be one or more of the following:

<type> sets the item's fundamental type. This determines many things, not least of which is what shop keepers will buy and sell this item. Type can be only one of the following:

 

key	Item is destroyed if a player carries it when he logs out. This is usually used for keys so that at any given time one of them will exist in the game. However, you can make objects of other types act as keys, and items of type "key" can be described as something other than a key that just happens to disappear on logout. See appendix C for examples.
