FAQ3
Q: "How do I hold my weapon?"
A: Typewield sword (for example).
Q: "How do I put on my clothes?"
A: Typewear cloak (for example), or
wear all after you have gotten your
newbie kit.
Q: "It says my hands are full!"
A: You've only got two hands. Commonly, you will wield your weapon in one, and wear a shield on the other arm, unless you are using a two-handed sword. If you need to hold a pan, for example, you have toremove the sword or
shield first (or
sheathe it). If you just received a
newbie kit you generally want to
wear all.
Q: "How do I use a lantern or torch?"
Hold torch or
hold lantern will work,
but then you can't use that hand for your weapon or
shield. A lantern can be worn on
your belt, if you have one, with
wear lantern
belt. This will automatically
light it. Remove
lantern when it's day to
save fuel. If you have a flask of oil, you can refill your
lantern (while wearing it) by typing
fill lantern.
Q: "How do I pour water in my water skin?"
A: Typepour water skin,
pour well skin,
pour fountain skin, etc. In
MUME command structure, words like 'in', 'from', etc. are
usually omitted. So, you drink from the
skin by typing drink
skin.
Q: "How do I see what I have?"
A: Typeequipment (or eq) to
see what you are wearing and wielding. Type
inventory (or i) to see what
you are carrying around with you. If you have too many
things, you won't be able to pick up stuff, but you can put
things in sacks, backpacks, pouches, etc.
You look in your sack by typing
examine sack. You get a
biscuit out of your sack by typing get biscuit
sack. You put all your biscuits in your
sack with put all.biscuit
sack.
If you put things in a backpack, quiver, or similar item that you wear, you have to remove the backpack before you can get stuff out.
Q: "Suppose I have two sacks?"
A: You use the following syntax:examine
2.sack, get all
2.corpse, ride
2.horse.
Q: "How do I use a canoe?"
A: Just get the canoe and carry it around. If you have it in your inventory, it is the same as being in the canoe. Only one person can use a boat.
Q: "This shield/article of clothing/footwear doesn't fit. :-( " "This sword is dented." "This armour is worn out."
A: Take the item to the appropriate merchant and typemend <item>. The merchant will
charge you for his work. To be on the safe side, wait
there for 2 minutes until it is done. You may leave, but if you do not come
back very soon, rent (even if you login right back), or
die, he will sell your item. Notice also
that some merchants cannot see shrouded or sneaking people and may decide that
you are not there unless you show yourself.
If the only thing wrong with the item is that it is the wrong size for you, you
can type resize <item> and get
it back immediately, without waiting.
