=head1 Deliantra Dungeon Master Commands

The following commands are only available to you if you are dungeon
master, that is, a kind of server administrator with special privileges.

=head2 abil

   abil <player> <attribute> <value>

B<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.

=head2 addexp

   addexp <player> <how much>

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

=head2 arrest

   arrest <player>

Puts the named player into the nearest cell (corresonding to the region he is in).

=head2 banish

   banish <player>

I<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
(usually at F</var/crossfire/banish_file>) on a regular basis and delete
or move any entries to the ban_file if desired.

=head2 create

   create <number> <bonus> <archtype> <variable1> <value1> <variable2> <value2> ...

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

=head2 debug

   debug <level>

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

=head2 dm

   dm

Try to become dungeon master.

=head2 dmhide

   dmhide

Same as becoming dm and hiding at the same time. See B<hide>.

=head2 dump

   dump <tag>

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

=head2 dumpbelow

   dumpbelow

Will dump the attributes of the top item you are standing over. see also:
dump

=head2 dumpfriendlyobjects

   dumpfriendlyobjects

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

=head2 forget_spell

   forget_spell <spell name>

This will cause you to permanently lose knowledge of a spell.

=head2 free

   free <tag>

Removes (if necessary) and destroys the given object.

=head2 goto

   goto <mapname> [<x> <y>]

Using this command will instantly move you to the start point of the map
and position specified. If the position is omitted, the map entry point
will be used instead.

=head2 hide

   hide

Sets the hidden status on the player. Currently, this has very little
effect apart from hiding the player in some informational output, such as
the who listing.

=head2 insert_into

   insert_into <item> <item>

This will insert the 2nd item in the first.  2nd can't be a player.

=head2 invisible

   invisible

Makes you invisible for 60 seconds.

=head2 kick

   kick <player>

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.

=head2 learn_special_prayer

   learn_special_prayer <prayer name>

this will allow you to permanently learn a spell as a special prayer of
your god. see also: learn_spell

=head2 learn_spell

   learn_spell <spell name>

This will allow you to permanently learn a spell. <spell name> may be a
partial spell name.

It is similar to learn_special_prayer except that you will retain
knowledge of this spell regardless of changing dieties. see also:
learn_special_prayer

=head2 mon_aggr

   mon_aggr

Toggles the aggression of the monster you are currently possessing. Not
reccomended to be flipped on yourself as a player.

=head2 nodm

   nodm

This commands will return you to normal player status.

=head2 observe

   observe <playername>

Observes the given object (currently players only). This means that the
map and stats of the observed object will be displayed instead of ones
own map and stats. Using observe without argument will switch back to
displaying your own map and stats.

=head2 patch

   patch <tag> <variable> <value>

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

=head2 password

   password <playername> [<new password>]

Will set a new password for the player. If no new password
is given a random password will be generated (and printed).

=head2 reload

Will first unload all loaded perl extensions and modules loaded from the
extension directory, followed by loading the perl part of the plugin and
all extensions found.

This is done in an as atomic way as possible so it is safe to do at
anytime, but it will freeze the swerver for multiple seconds.

=head2 possess

   possess <tag>

Take over the body of a given monster. It is not suggested you try to
possess another player, as bad things will undoubtably happen. Allows DM
to control the monster directly with his client.

=head2 printlos

   printlos

This is used for line of sight debugging.

=head2 remove

   remove <tag>

C<remove> will, suprisingly enough, remove the object specified by the tag
supplied. see also: free

=head2 reset

   reset [--unique]

Temporarily moves off all characters from the current map, then resets it.
Without arguments, it works exactly as if the map reached its reset time
prematurely.

If C<--unique> is given, then additionally all unique items are cleared,
completely reseting the map to "factory defaults". Do not do this unless
you understand the implications!

=head2 set_god

   set_god <player> <diety>

This will change a players diety to the diety specified.

=head2 shutdown

   shutdown

This will cause a Deliantra server to shut down entirely by first
kicking out all players, saving all maps and finally exiting. Deliantra
servers will kick out players and might or might not save some players or
maps.

=head2 stats

   stats <player>

This displays the named players statistics.

=head2 style_info

   style_info

This will print out information regarding current styles in use.

is no 'reverse' summoning, except to go to a map yourself and summon the
player again.

=head2 teleport

   teleport <player>

C<teleport> will bring you immediately next to the player's location.

as dm. Without argument it toggles between on and off.
