Guidelines

  • They cost one brass no more no less.
  • Do not use old method of doing restrings(the string command) there's a new and much safer way to do them.
  • Do not use special characters in the namelist.
  • Do not use blinking text.
  • Do not allow profanity, racial or sexual slurs.
  • Do not feel obligated to make items that make you feel uncomfortable, you can refuse.
  • Do use discretion with sexual items.

Howto

Name
string name <name>
  • The "name" is really an alias for the object, this is what you would type to interact with it.
  • Multi word names do not work, only the first word does.
  • Do not use special characters in the name.
Short
string short <text>
  • The short desc is the the desc you see in your inventory and when you interact with the object.
  • The short desc should not start with a capital letter or end with a period.
Long
string long <text>
  • The long desc is the description you see when the object is on the ground.
  • The long desc should begin with a capital letter and end with a period.
Extra
string extra <alias> <text>
  • The alias should be one word, see next point for multiple alias descs.
  • You can have several extra descs, simply repeat for each on you want.
  • You can in practice have extra descs that have multiple aliases, you need to repeat the command using the same description but with a different alias.
  • You can not delete extra descs, if you make a mistake start again or, you can overwrite by using the same alias again or, you can replace the aliases desc with "you do not see that here.", without the quotes.
