minotaur^#^
SUBTOPIC-races^#^
::: Minotaurs :::
Minotaurs are gargantuan brutes over seven feet in height. They
have soft fur covering their massive mmuscles; the fur ranges
from a red brown to almost black. Their faces are brutish and
ugly by human standards, reminiscent of those of bulls. They have
short horns that grow from the edges of their foreheads to a
length of six to twelve inches for the females and one to two
feet for the males.
Minotaurs firmly believe in the superiority of their race and in
their ultimate place as the rulers of the world. It is their
destiny to bring the reset of the world under their rule. They
will go to any lengths to achieve domination over others. They
are ruthless in battle and cold in their justice. They believe
that the weak should perish and that might proves right. It is,
to them, the natural process of life.

mountain dwarf^#^
SUBTOPIC-races^#^
::: Mountain Dwarves :::
Mountain dwarves have light brown skin and smooth cheeks and
bright eyes. Their hair is brown, black, gray, or occasionally
white. They favour earth tones in their clothing. Since mountain
dwarves have a wide vocal range, communities often form chrouses
of dwarves that sing the traditional songs of the mountain
dwarves. These songs can sometimes be heard echoing though the
mountains where the dwarves live. Mountain dwarves are as
stubborn as their underground cousins (the hill dwarves, though
each group clains to be more stubborn than the other).
As a player., mountain dwarves can drink much more than other races,
and hence heal much faster. All dwarves are excelent in combat and
are granted a weapon class bonus for their right hand weapons. Mountain
dwarves are also excelent armourers and weapon smiths, so their
abilities far exceed other races in this regard.

SUBTOPIC-fighter^#^
Multi Attack Skill
This skill allows a fighter to attack multiple times against
one monster. His 'multi attack' stat is compared to the
monster's dexterity. If the out come favours the fighter, he
gains an extra attack, else if it favours the monster, the
fighters attacks end there. Up to 5 attacks in a single round
are possible.
Note that monsters have this skill also. When a monster
attacks a player its 'multi attack' skill is compared to the
player's dexterity. If the outcome favours the player, the
monster has no more attacks beyond the first. Otherwise,
another attack is made. Up to 5 attacks can be made against a
player, identical in nature to the player's 'multi attack'
routines.
Multi Opponent Skill
When more than one opponent is attacking you, a comparison is
made between the next opponent's dexterity, and your (or
monster's) 'multi attack' skill. If the out come favours you
then you attack that extra attacker. This may be done for as
many attackers attack you beyond the first. If the attacker's
result is higher than yours then you miss out on the extra
attack against the second opponent. EG:
Fred is attacking 3 giants.
Fred has a 'multi attack' skill of 10.
The giants have a dexterity of 12.
Fred is attacked by all the giants at once.
Compare Fred's 'multi attack' skill vs giant #2's dex.
If Fred's skill is higher, he hits giant #2.
Compare Fred's 'multi attack' skill vs giant #3's dex.
If Fred's skill is higher, he hits giant #3 also.
If the 1st giant's dex beats Fred's 'multi attack', he
misses the giant.
Note that monsters have this skill as well as players. In this
instance, if Fred was a monster, and there were 3 players
attacking him, then it is possible for him to attack ALL the
extra players attacking him! So, watch out all you Newbies who
kill monsters with 20th level players. That monster you're
attacking with him CAN hit you as well!

SYNOPSIS
int member_array(mixed item, mixed *arr);
DESCRIPTION
Returns the index of the first occurence of `item' in array
`arr'. If the item is not found, then -1 is returned.
EXAMPLE

void query_quest(string quest) {

SUBTOPIC-efun^#^
EFUN move_object()
SYNOPSIS
void move_object(object item, mixed dest);
DESCRIPTION
Move the object <item> into the object <dest>. Sets the
environment of <item> to <dest>. Adds <item> to <dest>'s
inventory list. The <item> has in effect become associated
with <dest> and <dest>'s inventory.
All objects that are living and are associated with <item>
will call init() in <item>. If <item> is living then it
will call init() in associated objects.
add_action()s will be linked between objects while they are
associated. When an object moves, it loses its association,
and therefore add_action()s and gathers a new set of
add_action()s when it re-associates with a new set of
objects.
NATIVE
<item> must be this_object(). move_object may be optionally
called with one argument in which case 'item' is implicitly
this_object() and the passed argument is <dest>.
Most objects have function move() in them.
COMPAT
<item> can be any object.
EXAMPLE
void move(object dest) {
move_object(this_object(), dest);
}

SYNOPSIS
mixed *map_array(mixed *arr, string fun, object ob, mixed extra)
mixed *map_array(mixed *arr, closure cl, mixed extra)
DESCRIPTION
Returns an array holding the items of arr mapped through
ob->fun(element, extra) resp. the closure cl. The function fun
in ob is called for each element in arr with that element as
parameter. A second parameter extra is sent in each call if
given. ob can be an object or a string. Principal function:
foreach (index) arr[index] = ob->fun(arr[index],extra);
The value returned by ob->fun(array[index],extra) replaces the
existing element in the array. If arr is not an array, then 0
will be returned.
The extra argument is optional. ob can also be a file_name. If
ob is omitted, this_object() is default.
EXAMPLE
string ask_for_uid(object obj) {
return getuid(obj);
}
void func() {
string *names;
names = map_array(users(), "ask_for_uid", this_object());
/* equivalent but a bit smaller and faster is the following */
names = map_array(users(), #'getuid );
...
}
This will create an array holding all uids of the current
users.

element, and then the extra args that were given to
map_mapping. The data item in the mapping is replaced by the
return value of the function. ob can also be a file_name of an
object. If the second arg is a string and the third is not an
object, this_object() will be used as default.

key is present in mapping m and returns 1 if so, 0 if key is
not in m.

mkmapping^#^
SUBTOPIC-amylaar^#^
SYNOPSIS
mapping mkmapping(mixed *arr1, mixed *arr2)
Return a mapping with indices from 'arr1' and values from
'arr2'. arr1[0] will index arr2[0], arr1[1] will index
arr2[1], etc. If the arrays are of unequal size, the mapping
will only contain as much elements as are in the smallest
array.
Normally, mappings are extended by simplyinserting new elements.
This function is useful if you can estimate the needed size of
the mapping in advance, to reduce the malloc overhead. Any
unused allocated space will be freed after the current function
returns.
