text . Online Creation is a name given to the system or process of creating the 
mud gaming environment.  `+
 With OLC you can create text-based objects, mobs (monsters) and rooms while 
being online - as the creation process is like another mode of using the 
mud.  The online creation system goes beyond creating areas for the game
but can be used for creating races (pc and npc), classes, socials, aliasing 
spells and editing other various settings/systems within the game.`+
 `+
 A comparision of the building aspects of OLC would be like playing the game 
SimCity, as compared to using the SimCity terrain editor.  (The SimCity 
terrain editor is a program which you can create your own sim city landscapes 
and maps)`+
If you dont know what SimCity is then just ignore that useless comparision ;)`+
 `+
 The Objects, Monsters, Rooms and information telling the game were to put 
all these things are stored in text files...  (called area files).  `+
 Area files have a specific layout and order to put all the area information 
in so that it can be understood by the mud, Before OLC these area files were 
created manually with a text editor (like msdos edit), then uploaded to the 
server which dawn runs on.  This process was very prone to human error as 
would be expected if you see the raw layout of an area file.  `+
 `+
 To use OLC on The Dawn of Time, you must have an OLC security rating higher 
than 0.  (for more info see '`=Chelp `=_olc-security`=?')`+
 `+
 For a reference of basic olc commands see '`=Chelp `=_olc-commands`=?'`+
 `+
 To get involved with area building using OLC, please see HELP BUILDING.  
(You will generally have had to have been involved in the mud for at least a 
few months before gaining any OLC access)`+

parent_help OLC~
text OLC security is an olc setting that is stored on each player (including
non OLC builders). The security value is in the range of 0 to 9,
0 being non-builder, 9 being builder with full olc permissions.
 
A players security value determines what he/she can do using OLC, this not
only includes what commands they can use, but also what areas they can edit
and what properties they can assign to areas they create.
 
For example:
- With a security of 1, a player can only use alist, vlist
  and astat (to be added)
- A security of 7 and below can't set the XP modifier on a mob, so it
  defaults to 100%
 
Security also determines what areas  a player can edit/expand?
- Any player with a security of 1 or higher can work on an area that has
  their character name specified as one of the builders or the word 'All'.
- Players with a security of 6 or over can work on areas that have
  a security value less than or equal to their security rating.

text `=?
The resets command is used to view/add/delete the resets in a room.

Resets are like a little set of scripting commands that tell the mud how
and where to load objects and mobiles into rooms.  If an area had no resets
the whole area would be just a set of empty rooms, regardless of how many
mobs or objects were defined in the areas vnum range.

Using resets you can load objects and mobs from any area file that is part
of the mud, (assuming you have sufficient security)

Syntax:
RESET - will show you all the resets in the current room.

`cTo add a mob into the current room `=?at the bottom of the reset list, type
RESET 99 mob <mob vnum> <max world> <max room>
The number 99 is the rooms reset number... putting it at 99 makes it appear
at the bottom of the room reset list (assuming you have less than 99 resets).

`cTo add an object into the current room`=? (on the floor)
RESET 99 obj <obj vnum> room

`cTo `Cplace`c an object into a mobs inventory`=?
RESET %mob_reset_number+1% obj <obj vnum> none

`cTo `Cequip`c an object onto a mob`=?
RESET %mob_reset_number+1% obj <obj vnum> %wear_location%
type `Y? wear-loc`=? for a list of wear locations.

RESET <number> DELETE    - delete a reset

NOTE:  These resets dont instantly take affect, if you want to see the
affects if your resets type `=Crpurge`=? followed by `=Cresetroom`=?

you could type:
`#`=Cnorth link 3001`^
this would an exit going north from room 3000 into room 3001.
Because we used the word 'link' it will have also made a south exit from
room 3001 to room 3000.  If the word 'room' was used instead of 'link' this
reverse exit wouldn't have been created.

text Here is an example of a decent area proposal.  If you expect to build an 
area, we hope that you can at the least turn in a decent proposal.`+
 `+
Dear realm department,`+
I would like to build a monastery area.  It would be near the eastern ocean, 
on a hill, and be a large old stone structure.  The main part would be 
filled with monks of varying levels, as well as a few atmosphere creatures 
like sparrows in the garden etc.  There would also be a tomb underneath full 
of much higher level undead creatures, mostly aggressive.  `+
 `+
The monks would wear normal monk type clothing, robes etc, and carry staffs 
as well as have other objects like prayer books...there would be a cook in 
the kitchen room, a librarian in the library, young monks rushing about 
completing chores and so on... The undead locked in the tomb area by a 
heavily warded door would have items on them that they might have been 
entombed with and not rotted, like amulets.  There would be lots of 
atmosphere items lying around like beds, tables, pots, etc.`+
 `+
I'd like to include some mob programs that allow the monks and undead to 
interact in nice or nasty ways with PC's, such as making the monks greet 
clerics and things like that.`+
 `+
The overall level range will be intended for players level 5-50 in the top 
section, and 60-85 in the lower section.  There will be no aggressive 
creatures in with the monks, so that will be safe enough, but the tombs will 
be extremely dangerous.`+
 `+
As you can tell, the storyline behind the area will be simple. The monks 
monks will just be going about their day to day life and studiously ignoring 
the evil that they've sealed up below...The undead, former monks entombed, 
were twisted by some evil that entered and took over their remains, and only 
want one thing - to taste the warm blood of the monks above...`+
`+
As you may know, I have played the mud for 5 months and have gotten a 
character to level 75, so feel that I am qualified to build an area with 
levels this high.  If approved, I'd like to build it on the OLC Builders 
port, as that seems to be the easiest way.  I don't have previous experience 
elsewhere, but would be very dedicated to finishing what i start and making 
sure i make it all detailed enough.`+

an area.`+

The first (and most important) step in building an area is to write an area 
proposal to the `WRealm`=? Council.  This note is designed to ensure that you 
have given some detailed thought to the area you plan to build, as well as 
allow the Realm department to make suggestions prior to beginning.  Be 
advised, however, simply by writing a proposal, you will not be assured that 
your area will be approved.  Areas which are deemed inappropriate for the 
MUD, redundant, or otherwise unacceptable will not be approved and returned 
to you for reworking.`+
`+
To ensure that your proposal is accepted, be certain to include the 
following details in your note:`+
 `+
`S*`=? A brief outline of the area, including the general history an RP elements 
for its existence.  Consider why and how it exists -- include an area mythos 
or history, if possible.`+
 `+
`S*`=? The level range for the area you are planning.  Is it for high levels, or 
newbies?  Such details are crucial in the planning and production of new 
areas.`+
 `+
`S*`=? To whom the area is oriented?  Is it an RP area, or one designed for gear 
and/or hunting?  Or a hybrid of two or more of these elements?  How large 
will the area be once it is completed?`+
 `+
`S*`=? What sort of mobiles do you plan on including in this area.  Will it be 
safe for all levels, or dangerous for newbies?`+
 `+
For a more detailed explanation and example, see help `=_OLC-EXAMPLE-PROPOSAL`+
 `+
In addition to this synopsis, it would be helpful if you could include three 
or four room descriptions, describing integral parts of your area as you 
have it planned.  This will help the Realm council make stylistic 
suggestions which may be useful prior to beginning work on your area.`+
 `+
Once you have sent your proposal, please be patient and wait to be contacted 
by the realm department.  If you do not hear back immediately concerning 
your area, it does not imply your proposal has gone unnoticed, merely that

to crop up amongst prospective builders.  If you have additional questions, 
or require clarification, feel free to con- tact the Realm Council.`+
 `+
`S"What is 'building'?"`=?`+
Building, or Online Creation (OLC) refers to the process of creating new 
areas for the MUD through any number of means, the most popular and easiest 
being the OLC port.`+
`+
`S"How can I get started?"`=?`+
To get involved in the fun, consult `Whelp `=_area-building`=?.`+
`+
`S"I submitted an area proposal, but no one got back to me"`=?`+
As a rule, imms receive a tremendous amount of notes and ideas each day.  
Though not commonplace, it is possible for notes to be lost in the shuffle 
from time to time.  If you do not hear from the Realm Council within two 
weeks, you might consider re-submitting your proposal.`+
`+
`S"I submitted an area proposal, but it was rejected.  Why?"`=?`+
Areas which are deemed inappropriate for the MUD will be rejected out of 
hand.  Mutant bunny rabbits with submachine guns are cuddly and cute, but 
have no place in the MUD's environment.  To avoid this, make sure your area 
proposal fits DoT's theme, eschewing any anachronistic elements (such as 
guns and automobiles).`+
`+
Some areas will be returned for reworking, with a list of comments. Often 
times, if an area is redundant (ie: Too similar to an existing area), it 
will be sent back to you for revision.`+

title Creating Inns Innkeepers for Set Recall~
level 92
helpflags wordwrapped~

text `=UInns:`=? This is an easy one, just make a room where your innkeeper will 
stand, and add the flag `=Cinn `=?by typing `=Croom inn `=?while in redit. This room 
is now designated as an inn, and when the player types list here, the code 
will start looking for an innkeeper, to list his rooms. `+
`+
`=UInnkeepers:`=? Which brings us to the next thing... the innkeeper. Create a 
new mob, or grab an old one, (whatever tickles your fancy) and in medit type 
the following: `=Cinn assign`=? (much like shop assign). This mob is now an 
innkeeper with the normal stats of any shopkeeper (opening hours, profit 
markup) with default values set. `+
`+
The innkeeper also needs to have some rooms to be able to rent and neads to 
earn a living too, so you want to define which rooms he rents, and for how 
much. This is all done still from the comforts of `=Cmedit. `=?Type `=Cinn room 1 
99`=? to make the innkeeper's first room for rent vnum 99. Then type `=Cinn rate 
1 5000`=? to make that room cost 5000 silver per hour. `+
`+
The innkeeper has 4 rooms to rent, but if you don't want to use all of those 
4, just leave the vnums 0 for the ones you don't need. That's about it for 
now. Have a play around with it, by typing `=Crent `=?in the innkeeper's room.`+
