MUSH Room Builder

This form is a work in progress. Current timestamp: Sunday, 02-Aug-1998 19:31:23 CDT.

This tool helps automate (somewhat) the building of rooms on a MUSH. Most of the fields are unlimited, so you should be able to enter as much text into them as you like.

This form knows specifically about TinyMush 2.x building commands. If you find it of value for other servers, I can expand it to be aware of Penn and Mux, also. The only differences you should see would be in flags and zones.

If you're building rooms for use with Keran's Weather, there is an additional form for those descs.

Fill in the blanks of the form below. When you press the "DIG" button, the result will be a page which contains the Mush commands required to build your new room.

It's up to you to capture the mushcode and deal with it. You may be able to highlight the code and simply paste it into the input window of your mush client. Alternatively, you can fill in the fields at the bottom of the second page and have the code quoted directly into your mush.

Each heading is a link that will jump the form to the next heading, just to make it faster to move down the form. (I hate having to drag the scroll bar!)

Feedback and Suggestions are welcome.

Client Tweaks

The following items alter the format of the output slightly and have to do with the requirements of your mush client.
Double Escapes
Double \\ needed for using X-based cut and paste into a TinyFugue input buffer. It isn't needed when using the /quote command or when letting the form quote directly to your mush.
