Definition
A "restring" is a changing of the descriptive 'string' values of an item, including object name, object short description, object long description, and any 'extra' descriptions. Their creation is governed by certain rules:
- Restring keywords are required to be clear and obvious.
- Restring keywords may not mimic other existing objects for the purposes of improper game play.
- Restrings may not reference another specific individual player or character without their consent.
- Restrings are governed by general mud rules for behavior, and no foul or obscene language should be used.
Format
When requesting a restring be created on your behalf, either by your FLI, or by turning in a prize voucher, it is polite to put it in the correct format to make it easier on the immortal creating it for you. Please see below:
restring obj (item keyword on object to be restring) restring name (new keywords for object. you can have *more* but you cannot have less than every applicable noun in the short and long description) restring short (this is what is seen when the item is worn or interacted with. Cannot total more than 80 characters, including worn slot and all flags) restring long (This is what is seen when the item is on the ground. Cannot be more than 80 characters) text clear text + (Any text of any extra descriptions) restring extra (keywords for this description) (repeat as needed) restring done
