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.
