I did this for Rooms so thought I should continue for objects. Careful, this is a very long post. Basically I'm breaking down every step it takes to make an object starting right after you type in oedit #
1) Namelist :
These are the words that can activate the object. For example: pile hay – for a pile of hay. That way the player can look at pile or hay to get the description for the pile of hay.
2) S-Desc :
This is the description that is use when the object is being used. For example let’s use that pile of hay. If someone gives it to someone else, you want them to give “a pile of hay” not “pile hay” so the S-Desc would be “a pile of hay”. Do not capitalize the first word or else it will come out: player A gives A pile of hay to player B. You’d rather have Player A gives a pile of hay to player B.
3) L-Desc :-
This is the description of the object as it’s lying in a room. Using our pile of hay for example: A pile of hay lies here. You don’t have to go so basic, but you should always use the main words that are in your namelist. We could say: A pile of hay lies upon the loft. But if I did that, I’d probably have the loft as an extra description or an object or part of the namelist of this object.
4) A-Desc :-
This is the description that’s given as the object is used. And I never use this choice.
5) Type :

7) Wear flags :
Where you want the player to be able to wear an item (if it’s a wearable/wieldable item). This will automatically start out with TAKE flagged so if you want it to be an item in the room that isn’t takeable you have to take the flag off. Any item that has just TAKE on it, can be picked up by any player just as long as they don’t max out on weight. Please note that certain areas are only for Clan items.
1) TAKE 2) FINGER 3) NECK 4) BODY
5) HEAD 6) LEGS 7) FEET

25) SHOULDER 26) CREST 27) THIGH 28) KNEE
29) FLOATING
Weight :
The weight of an item. There is nothing that weighs less than 1.
9) Cost :
This would be the cost of the item if it was sold in a store.
A) Cost/Day :
This would be the cost per day for the player to keep the item. Most items have 0 cost.
B) Timer : -1
This would be how long the item exists in mud time after it is picked up. Usually only used on major items or season items. Most items would have a timer of -1 which is indefinite.
C) Values : 0 0 0 0 0 0
The C values change depending on the TYPE of item it is.
D) Menu ---> : Applies
This is any bonuses or negatives you want to apply to the item. When you first enter this screen you will see this:
1) None.
2) None.
3) None.
4) None.
5) None.
6) None.
That is for the 6 stats you want to apply bonus/negs to. Right now there are none. When you hit 1 for the first state to apply, you enter this screen:
0) Nothing 1) Strength 2) Dexterity 3) Intelligence
4) Wisdom 5) Constitution 6) Charisma 7) Health-regen
Move-regen 9) Age 10) Weight 11) Height
12) Maxmana 13) Maxhit 14) Maxmove 15) Mana-regen
16) Experience 17) Armor 18) Hitroll 19) Damroll
20) Paralyze Defence 21) Rod Defence 22) Petrify Defence 23) Breath Defence
24) Spell Defence 25) Race 26) Speed 27) Coolness
28) Tunnel-Speed 29) Tunnel-Bonus 30) Tunnel-Stealth 31) Tunnel-Protection
So you choose which of those stats you want to apply a bonus/neg to. Once you choose one, you get the basic prompt of: Modifier : which is where you would enter your number bonus (1) or negative (-1). Please follow Molly’s guidelines for appropriate bonus and negatives and the cost values of such at this link:
http://4dimensions.org/node/4DEquipguideE) Menu ---> : Extra Desc
This is where you can actually describe the item itself and anything about the item that someone would find interesting and want to look at farther. The first screen you see is this:
1) Keyword: <NONE>
Like the namelist of the object itself, your keyword is the word used to look at the object. For our pile of hay, you would again use pile hay as the keywords
2) Description:
This is the actually description of the keyword item. For our pile of hay example, I have this:
This pile of hay has been sitting here for a long time. So long, it's hard to say it's really a pile, but it isn't flat onto the ground.
3) Goto next description: <Not set>
This is in case I have something else I want to describe about this object. Like maybe I’d said there was a green leaf in the pile of hay. Well then I’d go to the next description and start all over with the keywords green leaf and enter that description
0) Quit
This is for once you’re done with all of your extra descriptions.
F) Innate :
Innates are any skill/spell in the game that the object gives to the player that holds/wields it. They player will always have that ability until they no longer hold/wield the object. This is a very intense list and because of the strength of the abilities, you need to have an IMP set it:
