Access to all commands in all areas will \ be available. SYSOP status is defined in the CoffeeMud ini file entry SYSOPMASK \ which establishes the player characteristics that designate SYSOPS. \ All players who meet the requirements of the mask are automatically \ SYSOPS.\n\r\ \n\r\ Players who are not SYSOPS may also be granted specific privileges. Each \ of the privileges may be limited to specific areas, or available globally. \ Privileges are defined in the Security section of a players settings. Each \ security code listed for a player may be either a list of security Groups, or \ a specific security code.\n\r\ \n\r\ Security GROUPS are also defined in the ini file. A Security GROUP \ consists of a group name, and a set of strings or codes representing privileges for \ that group. Each group is prefixed in the INI file with the "GROUP_". However, \ you should not use the "GROUP_" when adding group priviledges to the Security \ field of a player. For instance, if you have "GROUP_BUILDER" defined in the \ INI file, then you would add "BUILDER" to Security when modifying a player in \ order to make that user part of the BUILDER group. The security codes which make \ up each group are implicitly global, but can be qualified as area-only using the \ keyword "AREA".\n\r\ \n\r\ The following are the default strings or codes which, when found in a players \ security settings or in a group definition, confer the listed privileges. \ Each of these settings may be entered as listed below, or prefixed with the \ word "AREA" followed by a space, followed by the key. This has the effect of \ making that privilege only available in or at areas where the Player is listed \ in the areas "Staff" setting. For example, the security code "ANNOUNCE" by itself \ confers the global ability to use the ANNOUNCE command. The security code \ "AREA ANNOUNCE" means that the ANNOUNCE command can only be used inside areas \ where the player is listed as Staff.\n\r\ \n\r\ \n\r\ ABOVELAW=Immunity to the Arrest behavior.\n\r\ AFTER=The ability to use the command of the same name.\n\r\ AHELP=The ability to access administrative help files.\n\r\ ALLSKILLS=This code gives the player access to ALL skills,songs,prayers,spells at their next login.\n\r\ ANNOUNCE=The ability to use the command of the same name.\n\r\ AS=The ability to use the command of the same name.\n\r\ AT=The ability to use the command of the same name.\n\r\ BAN=The ability to use the command of the same name, as well as DESTROY BAN, LIST BAN, and access the BAN MUDGrinder feature.\n\r\ BEACON=The ability to use the command of the same name.\n\r\ BOOT=The ability to use the command of the same name.\n\r\ CHARGEN=The ability to use the command of the same name.\n\r\ CLOAK=The ability to use the command of the same name, as well as see those who are cloaked.\n\r\ CMDAREAS=The ability to Create, Modify, and Destroy areas.

When applied as a permanent property with No parameter, the truce will begin the moment \ the affected mob kills any mob, and persist for 30 seconds. VFS=VFS Refers specifically to those files in the CMFS (CoffeeMud File System) which are stored \ in your database, as opposed to directly in your local file system (hard drive). VFS files are \ also mentioned to distinguish between local files, although VFS files appear to CoffeeMud to be \ right along side, or even on top of, your local files in your local directories. VFS can even \ include its own directories which are not in your local file system. See HELP CMFS for more \ information on this topic. VFS_FILE=VFS LOCAL_FILE=CMFS FILE_SYSTEM=CMFS FS=CMFS PVP=PLAYERKILL PLAYERVERSUSPLAYER=PLAYERKILL HOLIDAYS=Holidays are a special/reserved quest defined by file /resources/quests/holidays/holidays.quest. \ They are very simple Scriptless quests that can be started at random intervals, or on certain mud dates, or \ real-life dates. The holidays will only impact the areas specified by the holiday settings, and only the mobs \ in those areas specified in the settings, and only with the features you specify. Use LIST HOLIDAYS to see a \ list of all defined holidays and the areas hey are defined for. By default, 3 special-case weather related \ holidays are included which impact any area that meets their criteria. You can use MODIFY HOLIDAY <name> to \ change the settings for a holiday, DESTROY HOLIDAY <name> to delete one, or CREATE HOLIDAY name to create a new \ one that will automatically apply to the area the creator is standing in. CMFS=CoffeeMud File System\n\r\ The CoffeeMud File System is a means of accessing files inside your main CoffeeMud folder along side \ files stored in your CoffeeMud database. Files in the CMFS can be stored either \ in the local file system, in CoffeeMud's database, or in both. The CMFS sees both sets of files \ and folders/directories as if they were part of a single file system.\n\r\ \n\r\ Normally, the files required for operation of CoffeeMud, such as text files, \ class files, help files, images, and other files, are loaded from the appropriate \ directories on your LOCAL file system inside the main CoffeeMud folder. If you \ installed CoffeeMud into D:\\games\\engines\\coff, for instance, the file intro.txt \ (the intro screen) would be loaded from D\:\\games\\engines\\coff\\\ resources\\text\\intro.txt. \n\r\ \n\r\ Under the CoffeeMud system, however, you should always think of your CoffeeMud folder as a \ file system unto itself. The same file discussed above, even when referring to the local \ file system inside CoffeeMud, would be accessed using the path: resources/text/intro.txt. \ You'll notice that the path separators are forward slashes / like in UNIX, instead of the \ normal back-slashes \\ used in DOS. This is the standard for the CMFS. You'll \ also notice that the resources directory is accessed as if it were at the root of its own \ drive. This is also part of the CoffeeMud File System. Because of this, CoffeeMud is \ utterly unable to access any files outside of its installation directory. Keep this in mind!\n\r\ \n\r\ Within this installation directory structure, CoffeeMud is able to store files both on your \ local file system drive, and in your database (VFS Files). The VFS, or Virtual File System, \ refers specifically to files and folders \ which are saved in your database, and accessible through the MUDGrinder's File Browser, \ or the MUD's SHELL command (see HELP SHELL). When the CoffeeMud directory structure is \ viewed through those two screens, files in the CoffeeMud database and files in the local \ file system are both viewable as if they were part of a single file system, the CMFS.\n\r\ \n\r\ The files referenced in CoffeeMud are case-insensitive, except where dealing with the \ local file system, where it may be case-sensitive depending upon your operating system. \ Any filename or path may be preceded by a :: string to denote \ forced VFS/database access, or // to denote forced local file-system access. When neither is \ specified for a given file path, the VFS file is always preferred over the local one. \ For instance, the path ::resources/text/intro.txt would refer ONLY to a copy of the intro.txt \ file stored in the database as a VFS file. If that file is not in the database when the :: \ string is used, the file will not be found. The path //resources/text/intro.txt would refer \ ONLY to the copy of the intro.txt file stored in the local file system, even if the same file \ appears in the VFS. The path resources/text/intro.txt will use the copy of intro.txt stored in \ the VFS *if* it exists there, or the one on the local file system otherwise.\n\r\ \n\r\ The / character is always used to separate directory paths and folders, such as \ /resources/text/intro.txt would refer to the file down.txt in the text folder, which \ in turn is in the resources folder, which in turn is located in the root directory.\n\r\ \n\r\ So, as we've seen, whenever you need to refer to a file in CoffeeMud, you should keep this system \ in mind. Files which are part of your CMFS may be in the VFS database, or in the local file \ system. They may even be in both! \ This system provides security for the server in which CoffeeMud is being run, and provides for the \ ability to grant folder-level (or even VFS-folder-level) security to builders and other administrative \ users.

This is useful for occasions \ where you want the number to have a random element, or where the value of the number is calculated \ based on certain variables only available at run-time.\n\r\ \n\r\ The formulas can be anything from a simple number, to numbers combined with mathematical operators \ + - \\ *, grouped with parenthesis ( ), and may also include certain special operators.\n\r\ \n\r\ One special operator, ? , is for generating a random number (ex: 2?5 refers to a random number \ between 2 and 5). Another special operator, >, is for bounding the result of an operation \ (ex: 5 * 10 > 10 will evaluate to the greater of 10 or 5 * 10. The < operator does the opposite.
