Cinfo Fields
Like a giving yourself a description, it's a good idea to fill in something for your cinfo even if it's something simple. There are nine seperate cinfo fields that can be used by default, those fields and their descriptions are listed below but can be accessed by typing cinfo #fields on the muck:
- BDSM
- A summary of your style, your outlook, and your preferences regarding dominance, submission, sadism, masochism, discipline, bondage, and other kink and fetish sexual contexts.
- Blog
- The URL to your online journal or webpage, if you care to share it.
- Character
- A summary description of your persona or character. Personality, career, friends, family, skills, etc.
- An email address where the Player can be reached, if you care to share one.
- Image
- The URL to a picture of your character, if one should be available.
- Player
- Whatever you care to share about the Player behind the character. Please, keep it honest if you put something here.
- Preference
- A summary description of your gender/species preferences, if any.
- Residence
- You may mention where your character lives within the MUCK topology.
- Roleplay
- A summary description of your roleplaying preferences, including themes, rating, content (i.e. subject, topic), level of involvement, length of roleplay (scene or soap opera?), and so forth.
Setting Cinfo
There are a couple ways to set your cinfo that vary depending on what you are doing. The nine fields mentioned above can be set by typing:
cinfo #set FieldName=The text you want to put there.
cinfo #set character=Information about your character
Miscellaneous or custom cinfo fields can be set by typing:
cinfo #setmisc CustomFieldName=The text you want to put there
You can also do things like use a list in place of what you want the field to say.
Cinfo Alert
There is a piece of MPI code that can be embedded within a main Cinfo field when set to alert you whenever someone looks at it. The code is:
{null: {tell: {name:me} looked at your cinfo and is at {name:here} owned by {owner:here},this}}
Technical Cinfo
Cinfo is stored inside the _cinfo/ propdir with each field being an individual prop. The miscellaneous cinfo fields are stored inside the _cinfo/misc/ propdir.
