If you're stuck somewhere or, if you're like me, you know what you have to do, but you can't seem to figure out the right command, then post your question here and me and others will come and try to answer your question as well as we can.

I'll start off by asking my question: How the heck do I give the meat to the friggin' beast Guardian?! I've tried "Give meat to Guardian", "give <some beast meat> <guardian beast>", and so many other versions of those. It's very frustrating.

Yeah. Give <stuff> <person/thing> Always use one word for objects when buying, giving, or anything else. Keep it simple.

If you plan to post when you are stuck try very hard to get "unstuck" first before posting. Some things like that I can tell you other stuff like quests and things you need to figure out for yourself. So try your hardest to figure it out by yourself if you still can't then ask away. It is also easier to ask Immortals that you see in game then post here.

I've tried "Give meat to Guardian"


This will work as of today, I've made it look for ANOTHER argument if you use 'to' for your final. If you would like this on more commands just post here and I'll fix it up.

Its a piece of cake to code this.

get <item> from <object> ?

Also, Shice, if you need more than one word descriptions, you'll need to use quotes to identify the objects. like "get 'golden pass' chest"

omg. Please use "newbie" and ask around in game. Razz maybe Dav can set the mobprogs to "Hint: Give the cleaver to the beast" when they walk beside the beast then as they progress, like "get pass from the chest", they can be hinted to "get pass chest" etc etc.. so by the time they reach the lockpick guy, he should at least know how to use shortcuts..

The easiest way to think about commands in a mud is that you type them out in the most basic format possible, like you always see cavemen/neanderthals speaking in movies ("Tarzan-speak," if you will).

The majority of commands work in this format:

"action" "object/target"
- or -
"action" "object/target" "destination/object2"+

Code:
> get book
You get a book.

> drink barrel
You drink water from a barrel.

> put book sack
You put a book in a Big Ol'Pack Sack.


Code:
"ACTION"   "OBJECT/TARGET"  "DESTINATION/OBJECT2"
-------------------------------------------------
  get         book            -N/A-
  get         book            sack
  put         book            sack
  murder      Bob             -N/A-
  c 'armor'   Bob             -N/A-
  give        sword           Bob

Shadow grove got me ... curse areas like that with no way out, AND doesn't allow you to recall out! I was a good little adventurer, I was carrying a recall, did it help me no. And then I somehow ended up in the mages tower ... I'm very confused. (Don't bother responding too fast, I already starved to death.)

1. Carry more than one recall potion.
2. Shadow Grove has exits to three areas (Galaxy was removed).
3. Use 'scan'.
4. Most importantly - live and learn. Or in this case, die and learn.

also, for mazes, it's useful to 'look n/s/e/w' .. test it out. You'll see.

Can someone help me get into the Elf Lodge? I can get to the valley and I can see a building in the 'look' description of the rooms. Also, 'where' tells me I'm out side a logde. I'v been stuck for a couple days now. Sad

Try re-reading the room description very carefully. It'll tell you exactly what you're looking for. You need to look for the way in, but not necessarily the door.
