Dot Commands

Dot Commands

The server has a variety of useful commands built into it. Any player can utilise these commands if they apply to their character.

In order to use a command you simply put a period, or full stop, before the command you wish to use.

PVP dot commands.

.set hostile all

This will set all player characters currently logged to hostile. A fast way to be sure everyone outside of your party is hostile when you anticipate PVP. Players will not recieve a server message telling them they have been set to hostile.

.set hostile none.

This will set all player characters currently online to friendly. A quick way to be sure no one is set to hostile once PVP is over.

.set hostile {CHARACTER NAME}

This will set a specific character currently logged in to hostile. Useful for targetting a single character for pvp. Players will not recieve a server message telling them they have been set to hostile. Example - .hostile Akdul Mephria would set the character Akdul Mephria to hostile.

.set pvp sparring

This will set your PVP mode to sparring. In this mode, beaten characters will recieve no penalties for being taken to 0 hit-points. They will be able to stand up very quickly as well.

.set pvp beatdown

This will set your PVP mode to beatdown. In this mode, beaten characters will recieve minor penalties for being taken to 0 hit-points. They will not have to wait long to get back up.

.set pvp subdual

This will set your PVP mode to subdual. In this mode. Beaten characters will recieve major penalties for being taken to 0 hit-points. They will be forced to wait a large period of time before being able to stand, repeated beating while subdued will take the character from 'winded', to 'blacked out'. Use this if theft if you intend to remove items from the defeated character, or to keep them out of the fight for large periods of time. Sparring is the only mode available until your character reaches level 4.

.compantame

This will attempt to tame the nearest animal to use as your animal companion. Animal empathy, along with ranger/druid levels will be used to determine if taming succeeds. Having already pacified the creature using animal empathy will add a bonus to this attempt, but is not neccassary, meaning you can tame creatures you are not normally able to pacify, such as certain vermin. Not all creatures are available to be tamed. Explore and attempt to find out which.

It will also be easier to escape under these conditions.

This is still a work in progress, and there are likely to be changes made to reflect comment by people as it is in use.

To prevent griefing, at present, looting and stealing is restricted to PCs above level 4.

For use by thugs and thieves
