REDIT
redit [vnum]
The REDIT command is used to create and modify rooms in the OLC system. There are two forms of syntax for this command; 'REDIT' on its own edits the room you are currently standing in, and 'REDIT room_number' edits the room with the given identification number. If the given number has no associated room, a room will be created with that number as its identifier.
-
Room Name
This is the title of the room. -
Room Desc
This is the room's description- it's what you see when you type LOOK. This is overridden during the night by the night description (if one is set). -
Night Desc
This description overrides the room's main description at night. This is an optional field. -
Room Flags
Room Flags are flags that can be toggled to control the room's behavior in code. Examples of room flags are GARAGE, STORAGE, SOUNDPROOF, etc. A full detailing of room flags can be found here. -
Domain Type
The Domain Type of a room is the Shamanic domain this room is located in.
6-f) Exits
Exits are displayed as the vnum they connect to if they exist. Selecting one of these will put you into the exit editing menu (more on this below).
g) Edit Jackpoint
This controls the Matrix connectivity of a room. The default is no jackpoint; consequentially, this can be safely ignored unless the room has a reason to have a Matrix jackpoint in it. More information can be found on this below.
h) Light Level
Allows you to set the light-level of the room. The list is not sorted in any particular manner.
i) Smoke Level
Allows you to set the smoke level. Smoke shows up when you LOOK and can obscure vision / modify target numbers for actions performed in the room.
j) Combat Options
Allows you to configure various combat behaviors. Most of these have no real effect; however, more information on this is listed below.
k) Background Count
Background Count modifies TNs for spellcasting and magic use in the area. Background Count is covered in detail on Page 83 of 'Magic in the Shadows'.
l) Extra Descriptions
Extra Descriptions are hidden descriptions that can be LOOKed at if you know the keyword. These keywords are generally hinted to within the room's description.
m) Current / Fall rating
This field only appears if a room is set up as a water room OR the room is flagged as a falling room. This number is the TN to swim / stop from falling in the room.
-
Exit To
This is the vnum that this exit connects to. -
Description
This is the description of the exit, seen when you LOOK in the exit's direction. -
Door Names
These are the aliases of the exit. The first name is important- it shows up in the interaction messages. Example: I open an exit with the namelist 'doors door double'. The message printed is "You open the doors." -
Key vnum
This is the vnum of the item that serves as the key. If no key vnum is entered, the default key (item number 0 on AW) will be used for door interaction. -
Door flag
This lets you select the type of door on this exit. The types are as follows:
- No Door: Exit cannot be opened/closed.
- Closeable Door: Exit can be closed/locked/bypassed.
- Pickproof: Exit can be closed and locked but not bypassed.
- Storm Drain / Manhole: Exit allows water flow if pointing downwards.
- Garage Door: This door can be interacted with from inside a vehicle.
-
Lock Level
This is the TN required to bypass the door. -
Material Type
This allows you to select the material the door is made of. This is used in breakage tests. -
Barrier Rating
This allows you to select the barrier rating of the door. This is used in breakage tests. -
Hidden Rating
This is the TN to notice the exit.
a) Purge exit.
Always use this to leave the menu if you do not want to keep the exit. Failing to do so will result in an exit leading to 'A Bright Light'.
-
To Host
This is the vnum of the host that the jackpoint connects to. -
Access Mod
Not currently implemented. -
Trace Mod
Not currently implemented. -
I/O Speed
This is the transfer speed of the jackpoint. The following values can be used here: 0: Unlimited. -1: Capped at MPCP * 50. Anything else: Capped at that number. -
Base Bandwidth
Not currently implemented. -
Parent RTG
The vnum of the RTG this jack connects you to when you execute the 'logon RTG' command. -
Commlink Number
The phone number of the decker, should the decker place a call from here. -
Physical Address
A short string with the location of the jackpoint.
