SPECIFYING OBJECTS


In order to specify which particular object or character you want to act on, you use its name together with an (optional) list of prefixes.

get sword
picks up the first sword in the room
get 2.sword
picks up the second sword in the room

"first" and "second" here means the first/second one you see when you type look.

Some commands will allow you to use an object that is either worn (in your equipment), in your inventory, or in your room. In that case, all three locations are searched, in that order.

Ordered selection

The following command will put the second sword that you have in your inventory into the third sack that you either have in your equipment, in your inventory, or which is in your room:

  put 2.sword 3.sack

Note that the first argument, sword, can only be in your inventory, while the second one, sack, can be in either place.

You can also count "from the back" using negative numbers:

  kill -1.orc

This will attack the last orc in "look order". -2 would target the second to last, and so on. last can be used as an alias for -1:

  drop last.sack

Location restrictions

For objects, you can also use one of the equipment., inventory., and room. prefixes (they can be abbreviated!) to narrow the search:

put 2.sword inv.sack
put 2nd sword into 1st sack in inventory
put 2.sword room.2.sack
put 2nd sword into 2nd sack in room

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.
