LABELS


With the label command, you can attach labels to characters or mobs.

These labels can be used as keywords to identify them (when they are in the room), and labels show within parentheses after the character's name when you see it.

E.g., if you see *an Orc*, you can:

  > label orc target
  > kill target
The labelled orc will show as:
  *an Orc* (target) is standing here.

To list all labels, use label without any arguments.

To remove labels:

  > label remove target                removes the target label
  > label please remove all of them    (sic!) removes all defined labels
The label target defaults to the character you are fighting:
  > label caster                       label your opponent as caster

The words me, self, and myself are permanent labels for the character you're playing.

The word mount is a permanent label for any mount you are riding or leading.

Labels can be a maximum of 16 characters and may only contain letters.

Some words cannot be used as labels; e.g., words that the look command treats specially (at, around, north, east, …) and some prepositions like in, from, and with.

Labels for other players survive renting (and reboots) while labels for NPCs don't.

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.
