MUME Help

Index: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

?, HELP


The following help is available:

help help This text.
help List the available commands.
help subjects List all available help subjects.
help faq Shows frequently asked questions.
?faq Also shows frequently asked questions.
/help Shows available wizcommands [Ainur only]
/help help Details on wizcommands [Ainur only]

You can use ? instead of the help command.

You can use a partial match for the words, as long as it isn't ambiguous.

? will match any word and ?? at the end of the search string will match any completion.

Examples:

 > help magic mis

Will find the help text for the "MAGIC MISSILE" spell.

 > help magzt

Will not match anything.

 > help burni

Will not match "BURNING HANDS", as this keyword has two words.

 > help burni ??

Will match "BURNING HANDS".

 > help ? hands

Will match "BURNING HANDS", "SHAKE HANDS" and similar topics.

Occasionally, MUME will give you a suggestion of similar help texts, or other commands, to try instead, if it cannot find any match.

If you have a client that supports the MUME Client Protocol, you can get the help text in your local viewer by writing help -view <subject> or help -v <subject>.

Some objects allow you to type help <object> when you are holding them (or standing next to them). E.g., while holding a book you can type help book to get information on how to read and edit (if you have the access) this book.

If you think one topic lacks information, is wrong, incomplete or missing, please report it with the bug, idea, or typo commands.

You can find an up-to-date version of the help files on our website at https://mume.org/help or for specific entries https://mume.org/help/<topic>.

What is MUME?

MUME, Multi-Users in Middle-earth, is a multiplayer text-based online game based upon J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth during the epic wars of the late Third Age between the forces of the Dark Lord and the armies of the Free peoples. MUME is completely at no cost and has been continuously running, expanded, and remastered by a community of volunteers since 1991.
