Builder Commands

Below are commands that are useful for builders to help them build and go through their areas. Some of these are also IMM commands that aren’t specific to builders but are useful regardless.

Some of the commands not listed here are covered in specific step-by-step tutorials.

WIZ
Wiz allows you to see all of your available Wiz/IMM commands in one big list. Most will have helpfiles that explain them (if they don’t please let us know!)
HOLYLIGHT
Holylight is important for builders because it lets you see everything from a Gods-eye-view. You can see through invis, hidden, see details of the rooms you’re in that you otherwise wouldn’t see.
ALIST
ALIST basically shows you the list of areas available in the game, what their vnum range is, and who has permissions to make edits to those areas.
LOAD
LOAD <vnum> lets you load an object into the room or an object into your inventory to check it out or compare without having to actually reset it into the room
STAT
STAT <vnum or keyword> lets you see the current settings of an object or mob in the room with you. This is particularly useful if you don’t have access to make edits to that area.
PROGFIND
PROGFIND <vnum> lets you find out where a prog is being used in a room, object, or mob
GOTO
GOTO <keyword> lets you go to a room by the vnum number, or go to a mob or person by their name or keyword. It’s a fast way to travel around the game without actually moving.
PURGE
PURGE lets you eliminate things that are in the room such as mobs or objects in the room so you can reload them.
TRANSFER
TRANSFER <keyword or person> lets you transfer a mob or person into your room or into another room. You can “transfer remnon” and it will transfer him to you, or you can type “Transfer remnon 399” and it will transfer him to room 399
IMMTALK
IMMTALK or just typing “:” will let you speak on the global imm channel with other builders that are online
VNUM
VNUM lets you find objects that have specific keywords. “VNUM Halloween”, for example, will show you all the halloween vendor mobs because I put “halloween” as a keyword. VNUM SWORD will show you all the objects that have the keyword sword, or a mob that may have the keyword sword (for some reason).
