====== DM Commands ======

General notes for DM's:
Case sensitivity is important in player and map names.

==== abil ====
syntax: abil <player> <attribute> <value>

notes: abil will permanently change the ability scores of players. Attribute is one of str, dex, con, int, wis, pow, cha. Value may not exceed 30.

==== addexp ====
syntax: addexp <player> <how much>

notes: the player must have a skill readied. All experience added in this manner will go directly to the skill readied.

==== banish ====
syntax: banish <player>

'Kicks' the named player and adds their current IP address to the banish file. This will prevent the named player from logging into the server (from their current IP).
This is an in-game version of the ban function meant for short term relief of persistant goons and for DMs who do not have shell access.
It is probably a good idea to clear out the banish file (var/crossfire/banish_file) on a regular basis and delete or move any entries to the ban_file if desired.

==== create ====
syntax: create <number> <bonus> <archtype> <variable1> <value1> <variable2> <value2> ...
notes: creating items is rather dangerous and tends to crash the server when creating some items.
The number and bonus attributes may be left off, or the bonus itself may be left off any time. If a bonus is desired, number must be specified as well. Archtype must be specified in all cases. Variable and values may be left off at any time, but specifiying a variable requires a value also be specified.
Multipart values such as for an item name must be quoted.
Example: create 5 +1 sword name "Spiffy Sword" face chicken.171
This would create 5 +1 longswords named 'Spiffy Sword' that look like chickens.
See Also: patch, dump

==== debug ====
syntax: debug <level>
notes: Without arguments, debug will simply print the current level of debugging. Valid debugging levels are 0-3 where: llevError = 0, llevInfo = 1, llevDebug = 2, llevMonster = 3

==== dump ====
syntax: dump <tag>

notes: Using dump, you can see the attributes of any item in the game. To find the object number of an item you wish to view, click on it. If this item is in your inventory, or you are standing over, click on yourself and the item tags will be displayed. See Also: patch

==== dumpallarchtypes ====
syntax: dumpallarchtypes

notes: This prints out a list of all archtypes to stderr.

==== dumpbelow ====
syntax: dumpbelow

notes: dumpbelow will dump the attributes of the top item you are standing over. See Also: dump

==== dumpallmaps ====
syntax: dumpallmaps

notes: This prints out map information for all active maps to stderr.

==== dumpallobjects ====
syntax: dumpallobjects

notes: This prints out a list of all active objects to stderr.

==== dumpfriendlyobjects ====
syntax: dumpfriendlyobjects

notes: This prints out a list of all active friendly objects to stderr.

==== forget_spell ====
syntax: forget_spell <spell name>

notes: this will cause you to permanently lose knowledge of a spell.

==== free ====
syntax: free <tag>

notes: free should ONLY be used after remove. Freeing an object that has not been removed will cause the game to crash. For most objects, simply removing them is sufficient and they will eventually be freed. See Also: remove

==== freeze ====
syntax: freeze [ticks] <player>

notes: freezes a player from doing anything for some amount of time, the default time is 100 ticks.

==== goto ====
syntax: goto <mapname>

notes: using this command will instantly move you to the start point of the map specified.

==== hide ====
syntax: hide

notes: This hides the DM from being seen by other players. This is done by making the player perpetually invisible. It also results in the player not showing up in the who command, maps comamnd, or being reported as a player on the metaserver. Note that the DM can still do things that makes his presence known, eg, shout, other DM actions, etc.

==== invisible ====
syntax: invisible

notes: makes you invisible for a short time.

==== kick ====
syntax: kick <player>

notes: this command will kick a player off the server. If used without an argument, it will kick all players off the server with the exception of you.

==== learn_special_prayer ====
syntax: learn_special_prayer <prayer name>

notes: this will allow you to permanently learn a spell as a special prayer of your god. See Also: learn_spell

==== learn_spell ====
syntax: learn_spell <spell name>

notes: this will allow you to permanently learn a spell. It is similiar to learn_special_prayer except that you will retain knowledge of this spell regardless of changing dieties. See Also: learn_special_prayer

==== overlay_save ====
syntax: overlay_save

notes: this will save everything on the current map that was not originally part of it as an overlay. The overlay will then be loaded anytime the map itself is loaded. Be careful with this as EVERYTHING on the map will be saved in an overlay, such as spawned monsters and dropped objects.

==== nodm and nowiz ====
syntax: nodm

notes: both of these commands will return you to normal player status.

==== patch ====
syntax: patch <tag> <variable> <value>

notes: using the patch command, you can radically modify the properties of objects in the game. Simply specify the object to modify and the new values of its variables (or completely new variables). See Also: dump

==== plugin ====
syntax: plugin <plugin name>

notes: this will load a new plugin into memory. Using this with no arguments, or invalid arguments will cause a server crash. Plugin name should be as it appears in your plugin directory. Double check the names before using plugins.

==== pluglist ====
syntax: pluglist

notes: this shows currently loaded plugins.

==== plugout ====
syntax: plugout <plugin name>

notes: this will remove a loaded plugin from memory.

==== possess ====
syntax: possess <monster name>

notes: this allows a DM to inhabit a monster's body, and run around the game with it.

==== printlos ====
syntax: printlos

notes: this is used for line of sight debugging.

==== remove ====
syntax: remove <tag>

notes: remove will, suprisingly enough, remove the object specified by the tag supplied. See Also: free

==== reset ====
syntax: reset <mapname> or reset .

notes: all other characters must be off of the map at the time of reset (a message will appear showing any players on the map during the failed reset.) This will NOT reset any unique items, such as players apartments, in the case of unique items being on a map, it will cause them to be saved before the map is reset. You can also use the command in this syntax to reset the map you are currently standing on: 'reset .

==== speed ====
syntax: speed <newspeed>

notes: this command will reset the default speed of the server (which is 120000). Use this command with extreme caution as you can easily "break" the default behaviour of the server and cause all players to starve to death multiple times, or worse.

==== spellreset ====
syntax: spellreset

notes: this causes the spell table to be reinitialized.

==== ssdumptable ====
syntax: ssdumptable

notes: this will print out the current hash table to stderr.

==== set_god ====
syntax: set_god <player> <diety>

notes: this will change a players diety to the diety specified.

==== shutdown ====
syntax: shutdown

notes: This will cause the server to shut down entirely.

==== style_info ====
syntax: style_info

notes: this will print out information regarding current styles in use.
