Game Customization

Game Settings

 SYNTAX: settings
         set <setting>=<option>
         simplify

Use settings to list available game settings options. Use set <setting>=<option> to adjust a setting.

The simplify command toggles "simple mode" on and off, which loads a series of preset options specifically designed to make the game's interface more compatible with screen readers.

Screen Width

SYNTAX: width [<#>]
        width/set <#>=<number of characters>

This command allows you to customize the screen width that most commands will attempt to wrap to, storing multiple options as presets. To create an option, use some variation of: width/set 1=80. In this case, that will set your first stored screen width slot to 80 characters, which is standard for most MU* clients. You can also increase the width to, say, 100 if you wish, or you could create an additional setting for a mobile device with a narrower screen, such as: width/set 2=50. To activate a preset, just use width <#>, like width 1 or width 2. To see your current list of presets, just type width.

Game Navigation

Directory

SYNTAX: dir
        dir <area>
        dir/find <string>

This command shows you various points of information located in the game world, such as hang-outs, hospitals, apartment buildings, etc.

Use <area> to see areas only located in one of the areas on 'maps'.

Use dir/find to search for directory locations matching <string>, such as 'dir/find hospital' or 'dir/find cafe'.

Maps

 SYNTAX: maps                  - List in-game maps.
         map                   - Display your current local map.
         map <code>            - Display a specific map.
         map/go <code>=<#>     - Jump to location <#> on the <code> map.

By typing maps on the game, you can pull up a list of coded area maps. Typing just map will bring up the map local to where your character is. If you are on a room in the map, it will display where you are.
