These stances are much better than the others. MANTIS: Requires CRANE and VIPER before it can be learned. This stance combines a very strong defence with lightning fast counter attacks. DRAGON: Requires BULL and CRAB before it can be learned. This stance uses very powerful attacks, as well as protecting the fighter from injury. TIGER: Requires BULL and VIPER before it can be learned. Probably the most aggressive of all the stances, this style utilizes very powerful and lightning fast attacks. MONKEY: Requires CRANE and MONGOOSE before it can be learned. The only affect of this stance is to completely nullify the advantages of your opponents stance. SWALLOW: Requires MONGOOSE and CRAB before it can be learned. This is the most defensive of all the stances, combining agile dodges with the ability to 'roll' with an attack, helping prevent injury. See also help on 'stance' and 'stancetable'. ~ -1 ALIAS~ The alias system. You are allowed to have 30 aliases. The following commands can be used. alias - Creates a new alias. removealias - Removes an old alias you don't want. showalias - Shows all aliases that you have made. examples : * alias cc c 'dispel magic' By typing cc <target>, the player now casts dispel magic on that target. To remove this alias, a player would simply type 'removealias cc'. Feel free to experiment with aliases. ~ 8 ALIST~ Syntax: alist This command gives you a listing of all the areas along with their vnum assignments and the builder(s) assigned to editing them. ~ 8 ALLOW BAN~ Syntax: allow <site> Syntax: ban <site> Syntax: ban BAN <site> prohibits players from that site from logging in. BAN with no arguments lists the banned sites. ALLOW <site> removes a site from the ban list. The site ban test works by suffix comparison, so if you ban 'foo.edu', all sites within 'foo.edu' are banned as well. Site bans are not saved; every time the server is rebooted, the site ban list is cleared. ~ 0 ANGELS~ #n #n Angels, being the creation of the holy God, were created perfect without any flaw or sin. They are considered holy due to the cause of their createn, smithing evil everywhere and being the messengers of God.

To beat another player, you must tie them with the 'tie <players>' command, and that player will be removed from the arena and given a restore. Last man (or woman) standing in the arena will be the winner. The arena opens every 2 hours for normal battles, all the normal rules apply, and the winner gets a small prize. Some of these battles will be for base classes alone. (you can type timer to see when the next arena will be). Currently we are working on some nifty arena commands, and so far we have made these commands : * Arenastats - Shows the stats on the people in the arena. * Arenajoin - Let's you join the arena when it opens (happens once in a while). * Resign - Give up, you'll leave the arena and get an arena loss. ~ 7 AT~ Syntax: at <location> <command> AT executes the given command (which may have arguments) at the given location. The location may be specified as a vnum, as the name of a mobile, or as the name of an object. AT works by temporarily moving you to that location, executing the command, and then moving you back (if the command didn't change your location). ~ -1 ATD 'Ascension to Darkness'~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ascension to Darkness -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I would like to thank everyone who has helped me create a good, stable, and fun codebase.

BACKSTAB is another way to start a fight, used by thieves. BS is a synonym for BACKSTAB. BERSERK will make you strike out at every creature in the room. It will hit players as well as mobiles, so it's a good idea not to use this skill while you are grouped. DISARM is an auxiliary fighting command to disarm your opponent. Similarly, KICK will inflict more damage during combat by kicking. PUNCH will inflict a small amount of damage, and stun your opponent for a short period of time. It also has a chance of breaking your opponents nose or jaw. In order to BACKSTAB, DISARM, KICK or PUNCH successfully, you must practice the appropriate skill. ~ 7 BAMFIN BAMFOUT~ Syntax: bamfin <message> Syntax: bamfout <message> The standard messages for GOTO are 'arrives in a swirling mist' and 'leaves in a swirling mist'. You can replace these messages with messages of your own choosing using the BAMFIN and BAMFOUT commands. ~ 0 BATTLEMAGES MAGE MAGES~ The battlemages are powerful wizards that use their knowledge of the arcane to help them in combat. They can command the elements to help or destroy those they choose. A mage is indeed someone to fear. Chant - Use the common spells all battlemages have. Invoke - Learn or use some of the more powerful magics. Magics - Keep track of what magical affects affects you. Teleport - Teleport to any given location. Objectgate - Summon items from afar. Truesight - Enhanced vision. Discharge - Discharge your elementalshields (striking everyone in the room) Scry - Use your farvision. Reveal - Reveals everyone in the room. Magearmor - Make magical equipment. Magetalk - Class channel. Chaosmagic - Random spell effect. Also note that the better the mage is at casting spells (higher spell levels), the more powerful the spells they cast become. NOTE : Battlemages are a unique class made for Dystopia. ~ -1 BGColors~ #2Color - Dark only#n #7Red {1#1{{1#n #7Green {2#1{{2#n #7Cyan {6#1{{6#n #7Blue {4#1{{4#n #7Purple {5#1{{5#n #7Brown {3#1{{3#n #7White {7#1{{7#n #7Black {0#1{{0#n #7None {n#1{{n#n #2Note: You must use bright colors for backgrounds See also help 'Color'#n ~ 0 BLINDNESS~ Syntax: cast blindness <victim> This spell renders the target character blind. ~ 0 BODY~ The realm of Force powers that master channelling the force through the body. 1 - Jedi Meditation (jedisleep) An enhanced form of sleep. 2 - Shield (jedishield) Prevents people from reading your aura. 3 - Enhanced Dodge (Auto). 4 - Enhanced Parry (Auto). 5 - Shield of the Force (fshield) Using the force to protect your mortal body. 6 - Enhanced Speed (fspeed) Using the force to speed up your actions. 7 - Jedi Touch (jtouch) Stunning an opponent with the force blow.

Make sure you pick up bones off creatures you kill. HINT: Set Autobones or Autoloot ~ 0 BRANDISH QUAFF RECITE ZAP~ Syntax: brandish Syntax: quaff <potion> Syntax: recite <scroll> <target> Syntax: zap <target> Syntax: zap BRANDISH brandishes a magical staff. QUAFF quaffs a magical potion (as opposed to DRINK, which drinks mundane liquids). RECITE recites a magical scroll; the <target> is optional, depending on the nature of the scroll. ZAP zaps a magical wand at a target. If the target is not specified, and you are fighting someone, then that character is used for a target. You must HOLD a wand or a staff before using BRANDISH or ZAP. All of these commands use up their objects. Potions and scrolls have a single charge. Wands and staves have multiple charges. When a magical object has no more charges, it will be consumed. ~ 0 BREW SCRIBE CARVE ENGRAVE BAKE~ Syntax: cast brew <potion> <spell> Syntax: cast scribe <scroll> <spell> Syntax: cast carve <wand> <spell> Syntax: cast engrave <staff> <spell> Syntax: cast bake <pill> <spell> These spells allow other spells to be embedded in the specified object, which is usually created via the 'minor creation' spell. ~ 1 BRIEF4 BRIEF3 BRIEF2 BRIEF1~ With the command brief1, brief2, brief3 and brief4, you can toggle how much you'll recieve from looking and combat. brief1 -> Information when you look toggled between short/long. brief2 -> Toggle shields, misses and weapon burn/freeze in combat. brief3 -> Toggle dodge/parry messages in combat. brief4 -> Toggle message on exp modifiers, discipline points and class points. ~ 0 BUG IDEA TYPO~ Syntax: bug <message> Syntax: idea <message> Syntax: typo <message> These commands will take your message and record it into a file as feedback to the mud implementors. ~ 1 BULLY~ It's not considered nice to harrash players that are much weaker than yourself. It is quite okay to mort and tie someone weaker than yourself if they talked trash, killed your mobs or killed one of your friends, but it is not okay to constantly harrash players that are weaker than yourself simply because you feel like it. Should a player act like a real bully, a special bullyflag will be added to that player. Anyone with a bullyflag will show as a bully on who and have a harder time dodging and parrying. The bully flag will be removed when that player has learned to act like a normal person. (Whether a player is a bully or not is decided at the discression of the immortals, trying to get the immortals to set the bully flag on someone will result in the bully flag being set on yourself) We hope never to actually set the bully flag on anyone, this is afterall a playerkilling mud, and people should expect to be morted, tied and killed; but should harrashment be taken to the extreme by a player, we will set the flag on the offending player. ~ 0 CAST~ Syntax: cast <spell> <target> Before you can cast a spell, you have to practice it. The more you practice, the higher chance you have of success when casting. Casting spells costs mana. The mana cost decreases as your magical ability increases. The <target> is optional. Many spells which need targets will use an appropriate default target, especially during combat. If the spell name is more than one word, then you must quote the spell name. Example: cast 'cure critic' frag. Quoting is optional for single-word spells. You can abbreviate the spell name. When you cast an offensive spell, the victim usually gets a saving throw. The effect of the spell is reduced or eliminated if the victim makes the saving throw successfully. See also the help sections for individual spells. ~ 0 CASTLE~ #CYes you are right, you got your self a new castle!.#n You say#Y 'So whats new?'#n Dracknuur says#Y 'Shut up and read the note!'#n 1.

COMPARE with one argument compares an object in your inventory to the object you are currently wearing or wielding of the same type. COMPARE doesn't consider any special modifiers of the objects. ~ 0 COMPONENTS~ #PM#0ages will find that some spells require specific components. These components may be purchased in various arcana shops around the world. To use them, hold the component in a free hand, and then attempt to chant the spell. It is simply a matter of trial and error to find out which component works for which spell, however common sense may help.

No longer subject to the affects of time, they use their time to explore other planes and perfect their magic.

If you thought mages were scary, try fighting a lich that has used the last 2000 years comming up with nasty spells to kill and destroy. Masters of conjuring, death, life, necromantics and chaos, lichs have acces to several powers, some of them are know as : Conjuring : Objectgate, Fireball, Planartravel, Golemsummon, Pentagram.

With a suitable client, mccp is entirely transparent to the user - it automatically enables itself when supported by both the server and client. For more details on the protocol, your welcome to visit the MCCP homepage #Ghttp://www.randomly.org/projects/MCCP/#n Currently the following mud clients are know to support mccp. * Papaya * Tkturf * Mcl * Amcl (cvs only) * Kmud * Zmud (version 6 only) * Mushclient If your client do not support mccp theres another way to use mccp, the instructions on how to do this can be found on the following page, and it takes no more than 2-3 minutes to get working. #Ghttp://www.daimi.au.dk/#-jobo/dystopia/mccp.html#n If you use mccp, you will be rewarded by an extra 25% exp bonus. ~ 7 MCLEAR~ Syntax: mclear <player> This resets the target players stats to their correct value. ~ 0 MELPOMINEE~ <<*>> #rScream#n This stuns everyone in the room. <<*>> #rGourge#n This allows you to eat of small animals. <<*>> #rLove#n You can make people fall in love with you. <<*>> #rReina#n This allows you to make the room safe. <<*>> #rCourage#n You gain extra courage in battle. ~ 7 MEMORY~ Syntax: memory MEMORY reports the size of your mud.

These strings have a maximum limit, which is also shown. The 'Perms' line shows permanently allocated memory blocks. There is no limit on the number and size of these blocks. ~ -1 MERC~ [Note: this entry may not be removed or altered.

The higher the monk's chi, the better he or she can parry and dodge blows. It also gives the monk more strength and power, thus letting him or her inflict more damage and receive less. Maintaining chi is very strenuous, and requires that the monk have plenty of vitality. ~ 0 MONKCOMBO~ By using his or her special techniques, such as thrust kick, in a certain order, he or she may perform special combos. Each combo has a different effect. Some may do damage to the victim, some syphon movement points, and some may stun the victim.

As far as I know, only wintin and zmud has support for MSP, but should you know of any other clients that supports the sound protocol, you can mail the admins of the mud, and they will add it to the list of clients. You can either download all the sounds first (that's probably the smartest thing to do), or let your mudclient download them when they are needed (it will only download them once, and then reuse the downloaded sound next time it's needed). Sounds are found at : [Insert sound page here] Just type 'sound' to toggly sounds on/off. ~ 7 MSTAT OSTAT RSTAT QSTAT~ Syntax: mstat <character> Syntax: ostat <object> Syntax: rstat <location> Syntax: rstat Syntax: qstat <object> MSTAT shows you statistics on a character.

QSTAT shows you the special properties and strings on an object. ~ 1 MULTIPLAYING PLAYERSHARING~ Multiplaying and playersharing is strictly forbidden, the rules are as this (and don't try and find loopholes, I'll just wipe you). * No more than 1 char can connect via 1 ip, so local networks don't work, unless you have more than one ip available. * Going linkdead to trade items from one char to another is not allowed, it still counts as multiplaying. * Having more than one person controlling a character on the mud is called playersharing and it not allowed. * No transfering of items and/or qps from one char to another that you own, read HELP RULES on how I deal with people who think they found a loophole. * If an immortal tells you to stop multiplaying, you will stop instantly, there will only be given one warning, next time ANYONE multiplays from that ip, ALL chars from that ip will be deleted. Don't argue, if an imm tells you that your multiplaying, then you are. We don't give a shit if it's your mother that controls the other character. ~ 7 MWHERE~ Syntax: mwhere <name> MWHERE shows you the locations of all mobiles with a particular name. ~ 0 NECROMANCY~ <<*>> #rZombie#n This allows you to bring corpses back to life. <<*>> #rSpiritguardian#n When you call upon this guardian he will tell you when people are scrying portaling or trying to summon you. <<*>> #rSpiritgate#n This allows you to gate to mob corpses. <<*>> #rPreserve#n This preserves a corpse, or any other object that needs preserving. <<*>> #rBloodwater#n This turns a vampire's blood into water. ~ -1 NEWBIE~ #RThe Newbie Helper#n #R*#n First kill some mobs in the newbie arena (located south of where you start, that's up and south from recall), when you have 2K hps, you can train avatar and use the selfclass command to gain a class. #R*#n After getting a class, you should get a little buffer from killing mobs in newbie arena, then move on to either Elemental Canyon or The Black Dragons Lair. The Lair can be found 2 south, 6 east, 2 south and down from recall. #R*#n During the first 4 hours of play you cannot be attacked by other players, and should use this time to get stronger, remember to get all your class powers, read the help file on your class and do the best you can. #R*#n There are some help files you might want to read, since they'll help you alot. The list : BRIEF, EXP, MCCP, CHANGES, RULES and POLICY, they each contain knowledge that is useful for new players to this mud (not just newbies). #R*#n Remember the following : #R*#n The higher your unarmed ability is, the less you will get hit by monsters. #R*#n Treat others with the same respect you would want them to show you, it will help you get along alot easier (Remember be nice while your small, you can always be mean later) #R*#n If you don't know how a thing is done, try seeing if their is a help file on the subject, if there isn't we could use one, and your welcome to write it and mail it the staff. Good luck, and all that :) ~ 0 NINJAS~ Ninja's are warriors trained in the dark art of Ninjutsu. They fight using stealth and quickness making them a deadly foe. Ninja's have few, yet powerful powers at their disposal, and when these powers are mastered a ninja can be a most powerful adversary. Through stealth a ninja can sneak upon a victim and do a deadly amount of damage, and if this is not enough they can slink away and hide in the shadows. However, if you try to run from a master ninja you shall find yourself hard pressed to make it out alive. It is vital for a ninja to focus his or her Ki, this is done with the command 'michi'. A ninja CANNOT regen while not in a state of michi. Ninjas are ranked with a system of belts. Each belt adds more punch to the ninjas abilities in combat, meaning more damage, better dodge, more attacks, etc. Belts can be trained with the command 'train beltX' where X is the current belt that the ninja wish to learn. Read help on principles. ~ 7 NOEMOTE NOTELL SILENCE~ Syntax: noemote <character> Syntax: notell <character> Syntax: silence <character> NOEMOTE, NOTELL, and SILENCE are used to muffle other characters, by preventing them from emoting, telling, and using channels, respectively.

NOTE SHOW shows your note in progress; NOTE CLEAR starts over. NOTE POST posts your note for reading. Posting is not automatic. NOTE REMOVE removes the entire note if you are the sender, or just removes you from the to-list if you are a recipient. ~ 0 OBFUSCATE~ Kindred with this Discipline excel at hiding among and away from crowds. When they do not wish to be seen, others rarely notice them even if they are standing in plain view. Though this Discipline affects others minds and does not actually render the users invisible, the end result is much the same. Obfuscate is the opposing Discipline to Auspex, and they cancel out many of each others powers. <<*>> #rMask#n Allows you to disguise yourself as another player. <<*>> #rShield#n Protects you from the Auspex 'scry' and 'readaura' powers. <<*>> #rMortal#n Switches between vampire and mortal mode. While in mortal form, you loose all vampire advantages and disadvantages, and are undetectable from a normal mortal. <<*>> #rVanish#n allows the player to be invisible to the common eye. <<*>> #rConceal#n This power hides any object it is used on. ~ 0 OBTENEBRATION~ Obtenebration allows the user to manipulate the powers of darkness.

The original code it is based on was written by Surreality and installed in The Isles by Locke. It was then converted to work with Envy by Jason Dinkel. Inside an editor, typing COMMANDS lists working commands and ? gives help. AEDIT and REDIT default to the current area or room. EDIT ROOM RESET resets the current room.

If your charmed creature engages in combat, that will break the charm. ~ 7 OTRANSFER~ Syntax: otransfer <object> Syntax: otransfer <object> <character> This will transfer the specified object to the specified character. The character is defaulted to yourself. ~ 1 PARADOX~ When a player decaps someone not in their statusrange, they get paradox'ed, which means they end up morted in midgaard, which really isn't healthy. The statusrange works in this way : A player with 0 status can only be beheaded by a player with 0 status, else the beheader will be paradox'ed. A player with more than 0 status can be beheaded by any player with NO MORE than 5 more status than that player (fx. a player with 11 status can be beheaded by a player with max 16 status), but a player will NEVER be paradox'ed for beheading a player with 20 or more status.

The PROMPT command will set your standard prompt. You also have the option of having a combat prompt, CPROMPT, which will appear while fighting. If no cprompt is defined, the standard prompt will be used for both conditions. The following options are available: %a %A = Alignment (word/numeric). %b %B = Beast/Blood. %c = Armour Class. %f %F = Condition of opponent/tank. %g = Gold. %h %H = Current hp/Max hp. %m %M = Current mana/Max mana. %n %N = Name of opponent/tank. %p %P = Plus Hitroll/Plus Damroll. %q = Bones. %r %R = Room name/Rage. %s %S = Status (word/numeric). %v %V = Current move/Max move. %x = Exp. %t = Current fighttimer. %k = Class special (Shapshifters & Samurai) To switch your prompt on and off, use 'prompt on' and 'prompt off'.

Doing this will not destroy your customised prompts. ~ 0 PROTEAN~ This Discipline allows a vampire to transform either their entire body or a part of their body into something inhuman. The vampire can thus grow claws, turn into a bat, transform into a wolf or dissolve into a fine mist. A vampire can use most other Disciplines while shapeshifted, but may not cast spells. Full transformation is not possible during combat, although claws can be grown if you are fighting. While shapeshifted the vampire cannot wear any equipment. <<*>> #rUmbravision#n A combination of truesight shadowsight allows you to see any hidden charchter accept for monk and ninja. <<*>> #rFlamehands#n This power erupts your hands into flames. <<*>> #rEarthmeld#n Allows you to sink into the ground hiding from enemies. <<*>> #rClaws#n Enables the user to grow inch-long claws on each finger.

Bat form can fly and detect almost everything (invis, hidden, etc). While in wolf form, the vampire enjoys the benefit of an extra 500hp and greatly enhanced combat abilities.

Beware though, for two vampires in mist form CAN attack each other. ~ 0 PROTECTION SANCTUARY~ Syntax: cast protection Syntax: cast sanctuary <character> The PROTECTION spell reduces the damage taken from any attack by an evil creature by one quarter. The SANCTUARY spell reduces the damage taken by the character from any attack by one half.

PURGE with no arguments removes all the NPC's and objects in the current room. PURGE with an argument purges one character from anywhere in the world. PURGE will not get rid of PC's. ~ 1 QGAIN QCOMPLETE QUESTMASTERS~ A new quest system is in town, and the old one is out. Here is a short list of commands used (for more details you should read the quest help on my homepage). qgain <questmaster> - gain a new quest from a questmaster. qcomplete <questmaster> - get the prize for completing the quest. showquest - lists all quests you are doing. An example: Find a questmaster, type 'qgain <name of questmaster>', then type 'showquest'. In this example we will assume that the quest is a quest to find and slay a specific monster. After finding the monster (it will have a quest-flag next to it's name), return to the questmaster and type 'qcomplete <name of questmaster>'. The questmaster will give you a questtoken, which you should eat, it will increase your questpool. ~ 7 QTRUST~ Syntax: qtrust <character> <on/off> A player with qtrust on is allowed to use the QUEST command to change the name/long/short descriptions on an object, as well as change the wear location. ~ 0 QUEST TOKEN~ Syntax: quest <field> <value> Syntax: token <value> QUEST will allow you to spend any quest points you might have. For a list of the cost (in quest points), type 'quest'. TOKEN will allow you to create a quest token, with the value of the token set to the value specified. The tokens value must be within 1 and 50, and it cannot be greater than the number of quest points you currently have. For information on the QUEST spell, type 'help questspell'. ~ 0 QUEST-TYPES~ The following are a few examples of quest types: * Find the object/s. Examples: Find 5 different coloured potions, Find a pitch black longsword that flames brightly, Find a dragon dagger, belt and bracer, etc. * Kill the mob/s. These can be hunt down and kill, or simple placing the player in the same room as the mob/s. Can also be combined with finding objects - Example: Find and kill two different dragons and bring me their claws. * Solve a puzzle. For example find a certain room, solve a riddle in an area, or successfully get out of a maze. These are particularly good when several players of different ability are competing in the quest. * Duel: A one-on-one fight pitting either a player against a mob, or (more usually) a player against another player. The conditions will be decided beforehand, and can include any conditions that both sides agree on. Example: No sanctuary, no potions (or maybe a limited number), no spells, no weapons, or whatever. * Skirmishes: Like a duel, but involves several players on either side. Although the sides don't have to be equal in number, it is generally a good idea to make sure they are roughly equal in power. * There are also several more obscure quests that can be run - for example you could require that the player brings you 3 small green eggs, then load mob 30005 into the players room. Another battle might involve no melee - all combat must be with missile weapons. ~ 0 QUESTS~ Quest Makers (and occasionally higher levels) can set quests for one or more players to participate in. The rewards for such quests can be in the form of specially modified equipment. A number of quest points-worth will be allocated depending on the difficulty of the quest, using the following guidelines for point costs (QP's = Quest Points): Stats (Str/Dex/Int/Wis/Con): 20 QP's per +1, max allowed is +3 per stat. Hp/Mana/Move: 5 QP per +1, max allowed is +25 on each. Hitroll/Damroll: 30 QP's per +1, max allowed is +5 on each. Ac: 10 QP's per -1, max allowed is -25. Once a certain affect (str, hitroll, ac, etc) is selected, it cannot be chosen again for that item even if you didn't select the maximum allowed amount. Choosing to have penalties on an item will not decrease its cost, although some Quest Makers may allow extra points if you select a few disadvantages on the item. For more information, type 'quest'. ~ 0 QUIETUS~ <<*>> #rSpit#n This power spits a at your victim sending them a powerful hit. <<*>> #rInfirmity#n This power slows your victim down and makes them weaker. <<*>> #rBloodagony#n This allows you to poison your weapons with blood of the kindred. <<*>> #rAssassinate#n This gives you a chance of killing someone in 1 hit. <<*>> #rVsilence#n This allows you to silence a room. ~ 0 QUIT RENT SAVE~ Syntax: QUIT Syntax: RENT ... not! Syntax: SAVE SAVE saves your character and objects. You must be a mortal or avatar to save. The game will auto-save your character every few minutes whether you save or not. Some objects, such as keys and potions, may not be saved. QUIT leaves the game. You may QUIT anywhere, although there is an experience penalty for quitting outside of Midgaard. When you re-enter the game you will be back in the same room. QUIT automatically does a SAVE, so you can safely leave the game with just one command. Nevertheless it's a good idea to SAVE before QUIT. If you get into the habit of using QUIT without SAVE, and then you play some other mud that doesn't save before quitting, you're going to regret it. There is no RENT in this mud. Just SAVE and QUIT whenever you want to leave. ~ -1 RAGNAROK~ #0RAGNAROK MODE#n When time comes, the world will sunder and the gods will walk the earth spreading havoc and destruction, this is a time of slaughter, and no one will be safe, this is the age of Ragnarok. Using the command 'mudstat' you'll be able to tell if ragnarok is on, if it's not, you'll just get the normal mudstat screen. Doing ragnarok the following changes are in effect : * There are no safe rooms. * Everyone has scry, and it bypasses all shields. * You can decap anyone, anywhere. (no paradox). * Heads will vanish faster. * Players will auto train avatar and get a restore. * You do not lose ANYTHING if capped during ragnarok. * You are safe for 3 ticks after training avatar. (to rewear) player can turn on ragarok buy pooling qps toward it, using the ragnarok command. ie. 'ragnarok 200' will add 200 qps to the ragnarok pool (currently 3000 qps is needed to turn on ragnarok). mudstat will show how many qps is still needed, and ragnarok cannot be turned on for two hours after it has last been on. Ragnarok lasts 15 minutes. Enjoy ~ 8 REBOOT SHUTDOWN WIZLOCK~ Syntax: reboot Syntax: shutdown Syntax: wizlock REBOOT shuts down the server. When the normal 'startup' script is used to control the server, a delay of sixty seconds will ensue (to allow old connections to die), followed by a reboot. SHUTDOWN shuts down the server and prevents the normal 'startup' script from restarting it. WIZLOCK is a toggle command. When the server is WIZLOCKed, players below level 36 may not log in. Players who lose their links, however, may reconnect. ~ 0 RECALL /~ Syntax: RECALL RECALL prays to God for miraculous transportation from where you are back to the Temple of Midgaard.

The <number> will be displayed with this list. Typing ? WEAR-LOC will list possible locations that an object can be loaded to. The [<max #>] is the maximum number of mobiles allowed in this room and will default to 1 if no number is entered. For resets to be successful make sure that you add them in a logical order. For example if you are equiping a mobile don't load a container in the room and fill it with some objects and then continue equiping the mobile. It is likely that resets will backfire if they are not carefully entered. ~ 0 RESISTANCE~ Syntax: cast resistance <object> This spell makes the target object capable of withstanding 10 blows before it is destroyed, rather than 4. ~ 0 REST SLEEP STAND WAKE~ Syntax: rest Syntax: sleep Syntax: stand Syntax: wake These commands change your position. When you REST or SLEEP, you regenerate hit points, mana points, and movement points faster. However, you are more vulnerable to attack, and if you SLEEP, you won't hear many things happen.

A samurai must train for a long time before his true potential can be released. Once he has masterd the fighting weapons however, few can stand up to such power. Also the samurai is protected from most magiks by the spirits of the ancestors. Beware, the samurai may appear as only mortal, but much power resides in these warriros of old. ancestralpath - Class portal. technique - Start using the ancient fighting techniques. katana - Create the only weapon you'll ever need. web - These buggers have been know to throw webs at the opponent. martial - Command to learn the combos. Also read help on SAMURAICOMBO. NOTE : Samurais are built over the highlander class/concept. ~ 0 SAMURAICOMBO~ During combat a samurai can use four different attack forms, each will affect the samurais focus a bit. Slide 1 point Sidestep 2 points Block 4 points Countermove 8 points When the samurais focus hits 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 or 35 he or she will be allowed to make a special attack (auto).

SEDIT DELETE <social> deletes that social. The deletion is irrecoverable, save for restoring a backup file, so use this command with great care! SEDIT NEW <social> creates a new, empty social. SEDIT SHOW <social> shows all of the strings for that social. SEDIT <string-name> <social> [string] changes a certain of the 7 strings that make up a social. If you leave out the string, no message will be sent to the involved characters. There are 7 strings that make up a social: cnoarg: Sent to character when no argument typed. E.g. X types HUG and sees: Hug whom? onoarg: Sent to others in the room when no argument is given. In the case of HUG, it is an empty string, so that nothing is shown if a player types HUG by itself. cfound: Sent to the character if a target is found. E.g. X types HUG Y: You hug Y. vfound: Sent to the victim. E.g. X types HUG Y, and Y sees: X hugs you. ofound: Sent to others in room, if target is found. E.g. X types HUG Y. Everyoune but X and Y see: X hugs Y. cself: Sent to the character if she uses the social on herself. E.g. X types HUG X : You hug yourself. oself: Sent to others in room when a player uses a social on herself: X hugs herself in a vain attempt to get friendship. To get the player names and sexes correct, you need to use those macros: $n - name of player $e - he, she or it, depending on sex of player $m - him, her or it, depending on sex of player $s - his, her or its, depending on sex of player. For the victim, just use the uppercase version. E.g. $N is the name of the victim, $E is he, she or it depending on victim's sex etc. So, to make a new social called 'epoke' which would poke eyes out, you would do the following: SEDIT NEW epoke SEDIT cnoarg epoke Poke whose eyes out? (message sent to player) SEDIT cfound epoke You poke $N's eyes out! SEDIT vfound epoke $n pokes your eyes out! Ouch.. SEDIT ofound epoke $n pokes $N's eyes out! SEDIT cself epoke Being bored, you poke your own eyes out. SEDIT oself epoke $n pokes $s eyes out! To get more examples, type SEDIT SHOW <social-name> to see one of the existing socials. The socials are stored in a file called socials.txt. Manual editting of that file is not advised. A frequent back-up is recommended. The social file is updated by the server as soon as anything changes. Online social editting - (c) 1996,97 Erwin S.

There are certain rules that must be followed, they are rather simple though, so you shouldn't have any trouble following them. * No profanities in the message. * No referring to any of the immortals or other players besides the possibly victim. * I'll remove your ability to change your messages if you abuse this in any way. The syntax is easy, heres a few examples : setlogin $n draws his scimitars and prepares for battle as he enters Dystopia. settie $n grins in triumph as $e ties up $N.

If your a wannabe and want to pk, then you need to grow in size first, this is done by either training more hitpoints or training more skills (weapons, stances, etc). * The (x.xx) is the pkratio of that player, and the colors around the numbers shows whether you can kill that player and if she/he can kill you, heres the deal : if the #R()#n's are red, that means you can #Gboth#n kill eachother. if the #0()#n's are black, that means that the player can #Gkill you#n, but you can't kill him/her. if the #Y()#n's are yellow, that means you can #Gkill them#n, but they can't kill you. if the #B()#n's are blue, #Gneither#n of you can kill eachother. * The Class and PlayerName are obvious.
