GSTAT COMMAND: The gstat command produces various statistical information about all the characters in mordor. In addition, gstat can list all the mordor characters that exceed a given amount of gold, play time, or level. Syntax: gstat [-glts #] [-d] [-P <players ...>] The flags can appear in any order except for the '-P' which must be the last flag in the command arguement list. Also each flag must appear separately. i.e. -gl 10 needs to be -g 10 -l 10 Also, due to the amount of data output, the static breakdown will not be listed if the -d, -g, -l or -t flags are used. -d The '-d' flag will list all the players that are either a DM, a caretaker or None. -g # The '-g' flag will list all players with '#' or more gold. -l # The '-l' flag will list all players that are '#'+ level. breakdown on players '#'+ level. This is intended to allow for a more accurate statical breakdown. Often times players create a 'one time' character which can skew the true static brekadown of the game.. -t # The '-t flag will list all players that have a play time greater than '#' seconds.. -P <players...> The '-P' tells gstat to run gstat only on the player's names specified after the '-P'. If the '-P is not present, gstat will use all the characters in the players directory. Note: the player's names following '-P' still must be in the player/ directory. The '-P' was intended as a means to limit gstat static domain. Examples: gstat -l 10 -- list all the players that are 10+ level. gstat -d -P P1 P2 P3 -- list all the DMs in the player list P1, P2, P3 gstat -s 2 -- only preform the statical breakdown on players that are 2nd or higher level.el. Other notes: Class / Level Breakdown: The number following the Class number tells the total number of players of that class. The two lines of numbers represents the number of players of the given class at at each level. The first line of numbers corresponds to 1st to 13th level , the second line of numbers corresponds to 14th to 26th level, where 26 slot is for all players that are 26+ level.. Due to the amount of output from gstat, and the length of time to search all the players, it might be easier to redirect gstat output to a file: gstat > gstat_file. Use italk instead of telnet because telnet is an ugly way to connect to anything, italk localhost 4040 or on tesla italk m If you insist on TELNET, then use telnet localhost 4040 cmd_ital list <m|o|r> [options] [options]: -r#:# index range -s# descriptor for output -l#:# level range -t# object type -w# object wearflag -f# flag set -F# flag NOT set -q quest objects only -o# monsters/rooms carrying object -m# rooms with monster PLIST COMMAND: The plist commands provides a simply way to list a given player's class, level, password, and inventory without having to use the editor or actually log the player in. syntax: plist [[-inp] [-l #]] <players> -n The '-n' tells plist to only list the name of the player. The '-n' flag is intented to be used with the '-l #' flag to allow the output list of players to be piped or redirected into another command. -i The '-i' flag requires plist to list all the objects in the player inventory, including items in containers. The output format is a bit rough, so some line wrap around may occur. NOTE: It is not wise to type "plist -i *" in the player directory due to the massive amount of data that would be produced. -p The '-p' requires plist to display the player password. -l # The '-l #' requires plist to list all players equal to the given level #. Examples: plist -p Foo Bar -- this will list the class, level, race and password for Foo and Bar. plist -l 1 Player1 ... Player10 -- this will list all the players that are level 1 in the list of players Player1 to Player10. plist -i Fubar --this will list the class, race, level and inventory for the player Fubar. PSEARCH COMMAND: The psearch command searchs all the characters in the mordor/player directory for a specified item. Psearch will search a characters entire inventory including the contents of containers. Psearch will list a player's name, the total number of specified object in the player's possession, and the number of the specified objects that are in containers. Psearch also has the option to list any weapon that does more than a specified amount of damage, or armor that exceeds a given armor rating. syntax: psearch <[object #] [-adnsv #] [-N <name>]> [-P <players>] If the first argument for psearch is a number, then psearch will search for the object corresponding to that number. The item number does not have to be given if any of the other flags are set. The flags may appear in any order. -a # The '-a' will list all objects on players that have an armor rating equal or greater to '#'. -d # The '-d' will list all objects on players that do a maxium damage equal or greater than '#'. This is based on ndice*sdice + pdice. -n # The '-n' flag specifies the object number to search for. This flag is redundant if the object number has already been specified as the first argument of psearch. -s # The '-s' will list all players that know the spell which corresponds to '#'. The first spell starts at 0. -v # The '-v' will list all objects on players with value exceeding '#'. -N <name> Requires psearch to use the name following the -N as the name of the object to search for. The given name has to perfectly match the object name in ordor for the object to be listed. In cases where the object name is more than one word or contains single quotes, the entire name needs to be double quoted. i.e. psearch -N "dragon's blade" -P <players> Normally psearch will search all the players in the mordor/player/ directory. The '-P' flag requires psearch to only search the following list of players. Note: the list of players still must exist in mordor/player/. The '-P' allows a way to limit psearch's search domain. Examples: psearch 212 --this will list all the players that have object 212 (assassin daggers) psearch -d 20 --this will search and list all the players and objects that can do 20+ damage. psearch -N "small knife" -P P1 P2 P3 -- this will search all the given players (P1, P2, P3) that have objects with the name of small knife. Errors: If a player cannot be loaded, the user will be notifed of a player load error.or. startup is a shell auto startup / running program for mordor. This should only be executed as mordor user. TDEL COMMAND: The tdel command will list or delete all files that have not been modified in a specified number of days. The number of days is specified by the first command arguemnt of tdel. Note: the number of days can be a floating number (i.e. 2.2, 60.5, etc). syntax: tdel <# of days> [-d] [-F <files ..>] -d The '-d' flag requires tdel to delete all files that are X or more days old, where X is the specified number of days. -F <files...> The '-F' requires tdel to list/delete the specified files after the '-F' flag. If '-F' is not set, tdel will list / delete the files in the specifed directory (the path is hard coded and currently set to mordor/player/). Note: '-F' must appear as the last command flag, since all arguements following '-F' are assumed to be file names. The files are also assumed to in the current work directory, or a relative path to the current working directory The files are also assumed to in the current work directory, or a relative path to the current working directory. Examples: tdel 10 -- tdel will LIST all files in the player/ that have not been modified in the last 10 days. tdel 10 -d -- tdel will DELETE all files in the player/ that have not been modified in the last 10 days. tdel 25 -d -F F1 F2 F3 -- tdel will delete any of files following the -F flag (F1,F2,F3) that has not been modified in the last 25 days.

This is useful in making interactive monster / player quests. As of now, the 10 possible carried items represents the traded item/ reward. The first 5 of the monster carried items represent a needed item by the monster. In return for one of these items the monster will give the player the object located in the carried item slot (needed item + 5).

All blank spaces in the name need to be replaced with '_' (i.e. Barney_the_dinosaur_20). The monster with the death scene must also be a permanent monster. This is how you make a monster, including all kinds of neato advice and recomendations. mk_monster Interactive talk Interactive talk allows a monster and a player to interactively talk. When a player asks a monster about a "key" question, the monster will respond with a specified response. In addition, a monster can perform various actions (attack, social command, or cast a spell) whenever asked about a key word. The interactive talk file is located in: /usr/games/mordor/objmon/talk. Generally the name of the file is the name of the monster-level. The format to use the interactive talk file is: <key word line> [action phrase] <response line> The maximum size of the key word line is 80 characters while the response line can be up to 1024 characters (including carriage return and null character). Note: a hard return will denote the end of a line, so return should only be entered at the end of "key word line" and the "response line". The <key word> is defined by a single word (no spaces). The parameters for the action phrase are based on the type of the command. A monster can perform the following actions: <key word> ATTACK The monster will attack the player who asks the monster about the given key word. The word ATTACK must appear in all capitals. <key word> ACTION type PLAYER The monster will perform the social action defined by type when the key word is spoken. The type parameter can be any of the normal social commands. If the social command is followed by the word PLAYER, the social action will be performed on the player who spoke the key word. Otherwise the social command will be interpreted as general (wave vs wave happy). Note the words ACTION and PLAYER must appear in all capitals. <key word> CAST <spell> The monster will cast the given spell on the player who spoke the key word. The monster must have sufficient mp, and belong to the correct class (and know the spell) in order to cast it. A monster casting heal must be a cleric/paladin and have 25 mp to successfully cast the spell. <key word> GIVE <item #> The monster will give a specified object to the player who asked the key word. Object may be a quest item, in which case the player will only be able to receive one of the item. Also, if a player is weighted down, and unable to hold the object, the monster will not give the object. Be careful with the value of the objects being given away since it might provide a loop hole for making money. examples: die ATTACK response. If a player asks a monster about "die", the monster will give the response and then attack the player. bye ACTION wave response If a player asks a monster about "bye" the monster will give the response and wave to everyone in the room. bye ACTION wave PLAYER If a player asks a monster about "bye" the monster will give the response and wave to the player who asked about "bye". bless CAST bless If a player asks the monster about "bless", the monster will cast a bless spell on the player, provided the monster knows the spell and has sufficient mp to do so. ll =====>DM COMMANDS<====== *ac [player] DM ac sets the DM's hp and mp to max and displays the DM's current hp, mp, THAC0 and ac.

This program was created to help current and future DMs maintain and run mordor. This program is menu driven, so just select the letter of the menu option of interest. Entering a 'Q' on a menu screen will exit the program. Entering 'B' will exit a submenu back to the previous menu (provided you are in a submenu). While viewing a file: hitting the space bar will scroll the document up one line, hitting return will scroll the document up one screen, and entering 'q' will quit back to a menu. >Object Flags< The following is a list and a brief description of all object flags. syntax: name flag # stat name defined name The value for flag # includes the offset of +1 ======================================================================= Permanent 1 Pperm OPERMT Object will remain in a room until a player picks the object up. Hidden 2 Hidden OPERMT Object appears hidden, players need to sucessful search to find the object. (if a monster is carring an item with the hidden flag set, players will not see the object on the monster after the monster is killed). Invisible 3 Invis OINVIS Players without detect-invisible are unable to pick the object up or use the object. Prefix Some 4 <none> OSOMEA The object will be preceded with the word 'some' instead of the word 'a'. Plurals 5 <none> ODROPS If more than one of the object appears do not add an 's' to make the object name plural. No Prefix 6 <none> ONOPRE The object name will be displayed without any form of a prefix. Container 7 Cont OCONTN Object may serve as a container, where players may put other items into the container. Players can not put a container into a container. Weightless Container 8 Wtless OCONTN The weight of all the items inside the container are not included as part of a players total weight. Temp Permanent 9 Tperm OTEMPP Inventory Permanent 10 IPerm OPERM2 Mage restricted 11 Nomage ONOMAG Object may not be wored by mages. This flag has become obsolete with the class selective flags (OCLSEL). Light Source 12 Light OLIGHT Object provides a light source if equiped. Good Only 13 Good OGOODO Only players that have a "good" alignement may use the object. If used by an "evil" player, the player will be shocked by the item. Evil Only 14 Evil OEVILO Only players that have a "evil" alignement may use the object. If used by an "good" player, the player will be shocked by the item. Enchanted 15 Ench OENCHA Object is enchanted, and can not be enchanted with the enchant spell unless the object loses it enchant. It is imported to set this flag on ALL magic weapons and armor (items with a '+' associated with them).

Usually they are color-coded, but you can give them any description you please. The editor is used to make them as objects. First, make as many buttons as you desire with each one being a separate object. For example, you might make four buttons, black, red, white and blue. Each button is TYPE 13, and SPECIAL 2. Now, assume we want the black button to be number zero, (reset) and the red button to be number one, the white number 2, and the blue one number three. A combination of 132 would require the sequence red, blue, white be pushed. Of course, you can require that a button be pushed more than once if you want a longer combination.. In the output string for each object, put the combination, preceded by a zero. Example: 0132322 The first zero is the reset, and each number is a colored button. Makes the shots equal to 0/0. In order to identify the Reset button as different from the others, make it: 1d0 Plus 2. Each of the other buttons are: 0d1 Plus 2 0d2 Plus 2 0d3 plus 2 Where the numbers following the 'd' indicate the combination number for that object. Set the following flags: 1 and 18. Flag 1 is to make the button permanent. Flag 18 is the no-take property. When you create the room this lock goes in, be sure to put the buttons as permanent objects. Also, be sure to set the exits flags 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. >Room Flags< The following is a list and a brief description of all room flags syntax: name flag # stat name defined name The value for flag # includes the offset of +1 ======================================================================== Shop 1 Shoppe RSHOPP The room serves as a shop where players can buy goods.

Then, set both flags 9 and 10 for the item(s) and drop them on the floor. And last, you must use the DM command *perm to make the items permanent. NOTE: If the game is being heavily used you may have to type *perm many times. You will get either a "failed" or "done" message each time. Keep trying until the "done" message appears.
