Syntax
To load the program, simply type 'editplayer' without quotes. You will be presented with the following menu:
Your name is Player. 2. Your description is 3. Your sex is . 4. Your species is . 5. You can throw items. 6. Your home is Furry Town Homeless Shelter(#2668). 7. You can hand/be handed items. 8. You can NOT fly. 9. Your smell message is . 10. When you speak you see 'You [...]'. 11. When you speak others see 'Player [...]'.
12. Edit sweep messages.
Option #1, player name is no longer able to be changed.
Setting Description
Upon selecting 2 for description, you will be presented with the following syntax:
Would you like to convert this description to MPI (this is only for SIMPLE descriptions, not complex @$desc ones)? (YES/no)
A good idea is to choose YES, since you can insert line breaks, making for easier reading, as well as a description longer than 255 characters. If you mess up and choose NO, but really did want yes, you can choose Q for quit, then just type:
@desc me=
Then just type editplayer again, choose 2, and YES this time. It will then bring up the MPI description editor.
< Entering editor. Type '.h' on a line by itself for help. > < '.end' will exit the editor. '.abort' aborts the edit. > < Poses and says will pose and say as usual. To start a > < line with : or " just preceed it with a period ('.') > < Insert at line 2 >
It may be a good idea at this point to simply type
.del 1 $
which will clear everything in the buffer for your description. You can then begin typing your description. If you wish to insert a blank line, simply hit return, the space bar 2 or 3 times, then enter again. You can then type the remainder of your description. When you are finished, type
.end
and the system will save your work and go back to the editplayer menu.
Sex and Species
Options 3 and 4, sex and species are self-explanatory. You can set whatever you like in these fields, with the exception of Human for species.
Throwing and Handing
Throwing is giving a created object to another character who is located in another room. Handing is giving a created object to a character in the same room.
Scent
Your scent is a line of text that another character sees when they type either
smell Player
or
smell here
Speech
Options 10 and 11 deal with how you emote speech when using the say command. By default, when using say, it will show you 'You say, "Blah."' while the rest of the room sees 'Player says, "Blah."' To change this, option 10 should be a singular form, 11 should be plural. So if you wish to growl, simply put 'growl' for 10 and 'growls' for 11. The system will insert your name and what you say automatically, so please don't put anything else!
