Installation
Installing Talvo's MUSHcode Suite is very simple.
First, you need to make a new wizard character. This character will own everything in the Suite. ALWAYS use this character to make changes to the Suite. NEVER use this character for anything else.
-
Login as God (#1), and run the following commands:
@pcreate CoreWiz=coolpassword @set *CoreWiz=WIZARD @power *CoreWiz=NO_PAY
-
Logout of God and connect to your newly-made CoreWiz. DO NOT INSTALL THE CODE AS GOD. 1. Download the Core and install by copying and pasting into your MUSH. This is the code which powers the Suite. 1. Download and install (by copy/pasting to your MUSH) any of the Modules you want to use. They're all optional - you can pick the ones you want and skip the rest.
- Note that some modules may tell you to run an additional command as God to complete the installation.
-
@shutdown/reboot -
That's it - the core is now installed and should be working. Check the helpfiles for the modules you've installed to see how to customize them for your game.
When you've installed the Core, you can download any of the modules you want, and skip the ones you don't. Modules currently available are:
The core, which runs the MUSHcode Suite. Install first.
A set of standard softcoded global commands: customizable +who, +3who, +where, OOC speech cmd, +display (for viewing public attrs on players), +newbies and +oldbies, count (checks for mismatched brackets in code), +admins/+staff, +finger, +selfboot, +poll.
A softcoded chat system with similar features (but a slightly different look-and-feel) to the built-in @chat system.
System for adding extra details onto a room or other object without cluttering the desc. Details can be hidden, for "quest" items and suchlike.

Players can learn multiple IC languages, speak them at different fluencies, etc. Allows for partial recognition of sentences based on speaker and listener fluency. Also allows for writing (in descs, etc) in languages.
A system that allows you to easily set up softcoded help commands which can be searched (for +help, +ahelp, etc). Can also be used for 'news' or 'theme' type commands.
