Mob format

[Enig]

Hi! The description info for this mob is tentative, at best, and I'll probably end up colourizing him, but that's aside from my question. Actually, I'd like to make sure that I've got the standard format for mobs correct and since this is a simple mob with a simple prog it seemed a great test subject. Please tell me if I've written anything up incorrectly, or have forgotten vital information, and thanks in advance for your time

Code: Select all

#QQ00
bored apprentice abjurer
a bored-looking apprentice abjurer
An apprentice abjurer is standing here, looking bored.
He's a small human with incredibly average features dressed in the school uniform of the Turtle's Aegis.

All the above and below flags need to be in all upper case. The mud lives in the unix world, and type is case sensitive there.

d4+0 -200

the number following the hit die is the number of points per hit die added when the mob loads and levels up. If you subtract 200 from his d4, he's not going to be in too good shape

Smaug uses this number to artificially pump up a mobile because the combat AI in base Smaug sucks. For us, you can keep it to the mobile's CON bonus. which would be +1 in this mob's case.

Lang_Common
Lang_Common

Again, upper case flags

mpjunk $o
sayto $n Congratulations. You've solved the first puzzle.
mpecho The apprentice looks and sounds extremely bored as he speaks.

mpmset $n 0 1 1

mpecho The apprentice shrugs and eats the bread.

If you want the bread to be gone regardless of the result, you'll need to move the junk command above the if check, otherwise, it will keep piling up on the mobile when it says he just eats it.

d4+0 -200

Actually, this part seems to be correct. The '-200' is the mob's alignment (CN in this case).

You forgot some tildas (~) though. Basically, each "string" of characters should be ended with a tilda, including
- the list of keywords
- the short description
- the long description
- the mob description
