Commonly used MUSH commands
The following is a list of commands
that are used on a fairly regular basis:
- connect name password This command
logs you into the game once you have reached the welcome screen.
It can be shortened to con alias password
if you so desire. New players should use connect
guest guest to login as a visitor.
- create name password Creates a
new character object with the provided 'name'. If you would like
a first and last name, the command is modified to create
"first last" password (the connecting command
then changes to connect "first last"
password unless the alias version is used).
- LOGOUT or QUIT
These commands disconnect you from the game. The first simply
logs you out of that one player object and returns you to the
welcome screen. The second command logs you out of the game and
disconnects from the server.
- @mail The in-game mail system.
@mail returns a list of your "inbox"
contents, with its status (new, read, forwarded, cleared, etc),
the author, and the date and time it was sent. Other subcommands
include @mail/read #, @mail/send
name=subject/body, @mail/fwd #=receipient,
@mail/clear #, and @mail/purge.
Any cleared mail is automatically purged upon disconnect.
- page name <name>=<text or pose>
A person-to-person means of communication on the MUSH. If you
want to page multiple people at once with the same thing, simply
indicate more names separated by spaces (not commas). For a character
with two names either utilize quotation marks around their full
name or use their alias instead.
- +bbread board#</post#> Allows
you to read the bulletin board system. +bblist
provides a list of the boards available, their name, and their
timeout period. +bbscan returns a
list of all board posts (of the boards you are on) that are unread.
+bbnew returns unread posts one at
a time in chronological order. +bbjoin board#
and +bbleave board# are fairly self-explanatory.
The all-in-one command of posting is the following: +bbpost
board#/title=body. Full details can be read using +bbhelp.
- "<text> or say
<text> Automatically sends the speech to the MUSH
in the room that you are located. For example, "Have
you used the Compass of Attunement? would show up as Uriel
says, "Have you used the Compass of Attunement?"
- : or ;
An action that is sent to the MUSH to display in the room that
you are located. For example, :waves.
would show up as Uriel waves. Note
that the space between the name and action is automatically entered.
Alternately, if you want to easily indicate possession, use a
semi-colon. ;'s hair swings as he strides
towards the demon. would show up as Uriel's
hair swings as he strides towards the demon. Note the lack
of space between the name and subsequent text. The same commands
can be used to do actions on the channels.
- @emit Ah, the all-time favourite.
This sends the entire pose to the MUSH without prefixing
it with your name. It's useful for emitting NPCs or yourself,
but don't forget to insert your name somewhere in the pose if
it was you!
- +<chan> text Talks on the
indicated channel. You can use as little as one letter to indicate
which channel you want to speak on but be aware that if there
are multiple channels with the same first letter, the MUSH will
send it to the first alphabetical channel. +p
<stuff> would work to send to <Public>, but
+pub <stuff> would tell the
MUSH exactly where you want it (especially if there's a channel
like <Pointy Hats> or something). A list of channels can
be accessed by using @chan[nel]/list. Please note that all channels are OOC.
- @rp Changes your status from Out-of-Character
(OOC) to In-Character (IC), or vice versa. When switching
from one to the other your character will be moved from the OOC
lounge to the IC grid (or vice versa, again). Being IC means that
any actions you pose are true to the character that you've created.
Remember, IC actions have IC consequences (ICA=ICC).
- ooc <text> or +ooc
<text> Displays the text that you entered on the
local (in that room) OOC channel. For example, ooc
Where's your location? would show up as [OOC]
Uriel says, "Where's your location?". It's meant
for small questions/responses or corrections to a pose. If the
conversation becomes larger, please either move it to page
or onto a channel to avoid disrupting
the scene overly.
- +sheet Gives you the list of Forces,
skills, Songs, and other related information that your character
possesses.
- +sinfo The backbone of our skills
system. Skill groups can be seen by using +skills
on its own, or +skills <group>
for a specific set. +sinfo <skill>
returns the basic information file for that particular skill.
- +roll Tosses a trio
of dice, visible to all in the room. The red die is the
check digit. If a 111 is rolled, there is Divine Intervention.
If a 6666 is rolled, there is an Infernal Intervention.
While it sounds good, rolling a Divine Intervention as
a Calabite is not a good thing...
