SciffyMUD: Creating Smeg

In order to keep the SciffyMUD working slickly and smoothly, I have created this guide for Circle® members, to assist with the creation of things in the MUD.

• How to do colours - prettification.
• Rooms or areas - places for players to be.
• Monsters and NPCs - people for players to meet
• Objects and scenery - things for players to have and look at
• Magic and interactivity - things which don't behave normally.

The SciffyMUD provides a useful event/conditional/action model, which allows a great number of things to be quickly and easily created, even those objects which invoke weird and strange actions.

Sometimes, however, you simply do not have what you need to create what you want. In this case, a small amount of code needs to be written and compiled into the game. I'm more than happy to do this in most cases; email your request here.

• Events - the cause
• Actions - the effect
• Conditionals - what cause makes what effect
