DM commands

A DM (game master) listed on a server can run /dm commands in chat to heal, move players and grant experience, levels and items.

The first of these builds went out to the Steam playtest branch with a fresh test world; later builds the same day did the same. Characters from earlier builds were reset.

Added

  • /dm kill, /dm heal and /dm rest act on a target. Targets are me, target, a Character name, party or players.
  • /dm goto, /dm bring and /dm send teleport between places, including between Areas.
  • /dm xp add|set <amount> grants experience.
  • /dm level <n> grants experience up to a level. The player takes each level through the normal level-up screens.
  • /dm give <item or gold> [count] adds a real inventory item.
  • /dm help lists the commands.

Changed

  • The server decides who is a DM. A player who types a command is refused.
  • A creature killed by /dm kill leaves a body and loot as in a normal death.

Known issues

  • Place names in /dm goto have no chat completion.
