#3002
#3010
<name>~:
This name is the "title" of the room. It is very important to have a
title to your room as that is the only part of a room that will print
when 'brief' has been set on a player. A tilda must follow the name
of your room.
<description>:
This is what will print to a character who walks into a room, this should
include what the room looks like, what the people see and why they see
it. There must be a tilda on a line by itself below the last line of
the description.
<zone nr>:
This is the zone in which the room will reside for purposes of a reset.
Your room must have a zone or it will have no place in the world to
which you build it for.
<room_flags>:
A bitvector consisting of the room conditions. The ones that are desired
are added together and that number is used for the final bit.

<zone room_flags sector_flags>
<sound one>
~
<sound two>

<exit>
<sector_type>:
This determines how many movement points are used when moving through
the room. This is a bit table, not the amount of movement it actually
takes to move through this room.
SECT_TELE -1 Telepprts things within.
SECT_INSIDE 0 Indoors.
SECT_CITY 1 City.

SECT_UNDERWATER 9 Requires water breathing.
SECT_TELE:
The below parameters must be placed behind the <sector_type>.
<teleport_time> <to_room> <do_look> <real_sector_type>
<teleport_time>:
A multiple of 10, the higher the number, the longer the wait before
the teleports activates. (10 is a combat round)
<to_room>:
The room to which you are teleported to.
<do_look>:
If this value is a non-zero you will automatically look when entering
the new room.
<real_sector_type>:
What this sector costs for movement. (refer to sector_type chart)
SECT_WATER_NOSWIM:
The below parameters must be place behind the <sector type>.
<river_speed> <flow_direction>
<river_speed>:
The time it takes before you drift through a exit.
<river_direction>:
The exit through which you will drift. The exit must exist or no
drift will occur.
<exit>:
This combination of a 'D' and exit number. This field states that a
exit will be leaving the room in one of the cardinal directions.
0 = North
1 = East
2 = South
3 = West
4 = Up
5 = Down
<exit description>:
What a player will see if he in the direction of this exit. There must
be a tilda on a line by itself after this field.
<exit keywords>:
A keyword is what the exit is called if you have to open it. This is also
used if you want the <exit description> printed out if they look at a
keyword. If the exit is a door, you must have a keyword, without one the
door cannot be opened or used in any way.
<exit_type>:
This field determines what type of portal the exit is. If it is anything
other than '0' there must be a keyword for it to be acted upon. A door is
considred opened by the game unless it is closed in the zone file.
0 A open passage.

3 Secret door which can be opened/closed/locked/unlocked/picked
4 Secret door which can be opened/closed/locked/unlocked
<key_number>:
The number of the object which can unlock/lock the door. A value of -1
means there is no key for this door.
<to_room>:
The virtual number of the room to which the exit leads. If this number is
-1, the exit doesn't lead anywhere, this is used when you need a exit
description but don't need it to go anywhere.
You must have a door between both rooms that the door seperates.
-= Exit aliasing:
This allows you to have a alternate name to a exit. The northern exit
could be called a cave instead of north. This is accomplished by adding
4 to the exit type that you desire. ie. 1 + 4 = 5 to include a alias.
Please note that the alias for the exit must be included in the <keywords>
for that exit.
-= Extra descriptions:
Extra descriptions are used for things within the room that you would like
the player to be able to look at. This is signified by placing a 'E' on
a line by itself after all exits have been completed. Below the 'E' you
must add these fields.
<keyword list>~:
A list of the keywords that will allow the extra description to be
displayed. The keywords must must be seperated by blanks. This must
be followed by a tilda.
<description>:
The description that is show when a player types 'look at <keyword>'
and keyword matches one of the above. There must be a tilda on a line
by itself following the description.

The Griffons Tail~
Warm candlelight burns about you as you glance into this small bar and
inn. About you people talk amungst themselves around small oaken tables,
most moving uncomfortably upon their small stools. Near the far wall a
tall bench serves as the bar for this inn, behind which stands a large man
cleaning a wooden mug.
A door lies to the west while archways lead east and south from here.

mob will do in other respects besides those covered in <affect, action>.
'D' - Do not use.
'S' - Mob will not have multiple attacks or make sounds.
'M' - Mob can have more than one attack. You must place a number after the

same rule as M mobs. Sound is handled at the end of the template.
<level>:
This is the level of the monster, and is used for the 'consider' command
in game.

The amount the mob needs to hit armor class 0. The lower the number the
better the chance the mob will hit. This number should be <level> + 2, with
a max of 20.
<AC>:

mob. Figure in dexterity bonuses as dex 18=AC 6, 17=7, 16=8, 15=9, 14+=10.
<hit_points>:
This defines the number of hitpoints a given monster has. The format is:
<level>d8+25. Figure in constitution bonuses as con 18=+4 per <level>,

<experience>. You do not have to have a race, therefore the -1 is not
needed in that case.
<gold>:
This is how much gold the mob has on its body. This amount can be stolen
and is the amount a player will get from the corpse of the mob.
<experience>:
This is how much exp a player will get for killing the mob. A general rule
for experience is 100*<level> + whatever amount you feel neccesary. Do
not give out a exuberant amount of exp, but enough to make the fight worth
a players while.
<race>:
This is activated by having a -1 in front of the <gold> portion of the mob
template. This number will be the race that the mob is seen as when a
player looks at it. Mobs of the same race will help each other out in a
fight, keep that in mind.

-= The zone file description:
Basic template of a zone file:
<#zone_number>
<zone_name>~
<top_room> <reset_time> <reset_mode>
<command> <if_flag> <parm1/command> <max_existing/state> <parm2/room>
S
What this mess means:
<#zone_number>:
This is the virtual_number of the zone. The rooms that are part of this
zone must match the <#zone_number>. This number relates to objects and
mobs as well. The zone will work fastest if all the files that are being
used inside a zone start with the zone number for their <#virtual_numbers>.
<zone_name>~:
This is the name of the zone as it would appear in a table of all zones.
There must be a tilda following the <zone_name>.
<top_room>:
This is the largest <#virtual_number> of the rooms that are being loaded
into this zone.
<reset_time>:
This is the amount of time a zone will remain before it resets all the
commands within its file. This value is a number of minutes, usually
between 30 minutes and a hour. Zones that never reset have no need for
a reset time, therefore this value can be placed at 0.
<reset_mode>:
This field is a command: 0, 1, 2. Any of those three numbers will tell
the zone file how the zone will reset. They mean:
0: Don't reset the zone at all. In this case, the age of the zone is never
updated, and it will never be queued for reset. Thus, the value of the
<reset_time> is effectively ignored.
1: Reset the zone as soon as it is deserted, ie as soon as there are no
players located within the zone.
2: Reset the zone no matter who or what is in it.
<command> <if_flag> <parm1/command> <max_existing/state> <parm2/room>:
These are a series of comands that tell the zone file what to do when it
resets. Each command has different parts so each will be handled
seperately. The commands are:
M: This command loads a mobile into a room.
Format: M <if_flag> <mob_number> <max_existing> <room>
<if_flag>:
This is either 0, which means load the mobile no matter what. Or 1, which
means load the mobile only if the command before it was executed. This
stands true for all the commands in the zone file. 0 means load the
command, 1 means load this command only if the previous was executed.
<mob_number>:
This is the virtual number of the mobile to be loaded.
<max_existing>:
This field is the maximum number of mobs that the game will load in. Note
that if you want more than one mobile in a room you must load each
individualy, with the <max_existing> equal to the total number of that
which will be in the game. This stands true for all the commands in
the zone file. This field must be the total amount that you want to be
loaded into the game.
<room>:
This is the virtual number of the room to which the mob is loaded into.
O: This command loads a object into a room.
Format: O <if_flag> <obj_number> <max_existing> <room>
<obj_number>:
This is the virtual number of the object to be loaded.
<room>:
This is the room that the obj is to be loaded into.
G: Give a obj to a mob. This must be preceeded with the load of a mob.
Format: G <if_flag> <obj_number> <max_existing>
<obj_number>:
This is the virtual number of the obj to be given.
E: Equips a mob with a object.
Format: E <if_flag> <obj_number> <max_existing> <equip_position>
<obj_number>:
The virtual number of the obj to be equipped.
<equip_position>:
This is the position to which the mob will be equiped with the item. Make
sure that the obj is able to be equiped in that position, or you will
have boots loading in as worn on head. Positions are:
WEAR_LIGHT 0
WEAR_FINGER_R 1
WEAR_FINGER_L 2
WEAR_NECK_1 3
WEAR_NECK_2 4
WEAR_BODY 5
WEAR_HEAD 6
WEAR_LEGS 7

WEAR_ABOUT 12
WEAR_WAISTE 13
WEAR_WRIST_R 14
WEAR_WRIST_L 15
WIELD 16
HOLD 17
WIELD_TWOH 18
P: Loads one obj and puts it into another obj.
Format: P <if_flag> <obj_number1> <max_existing> <obj_number2>
<obj_number1>:
This is the obj that will be put into <obj_number2>.
<obj_number2>:
This is the obj that will have <obj_number1> put into it.
D: Sets the state of a door.
Format: D <if_flag> <room> <exit_number> <state>
<room>:
This is the room that holds the door to be manipulated.
<exit_number>:
This is the exit number of the exit. (1-5)
<state>:
This field puts the door in one of the below states.
0: Open.
1: Closed.
2: Closed and locked.
R: Removes a obj from a room.
Format: R <if_flag> <room> <obj_number>
<room>:
The room from which the obj is to be removed.
<obj_number>:
The virtual number of the obj to be removed.
L: Led by, makes a mob the leader of others.
This still needs a bit more work.
H/F: The hate/fear flags. These will make a mob hate/fear something else.
This still needs a bit more work.
