Mob Building is an integral part of your mud. Without them, there would be nothing to kill, and we all know we need to kill things every once in a while. Here is information regarding creating mobs, and tinkering with them until they meet your needs exactly.

To create a mob to start editing, you will type:

Mcreate <mob vnum> [copy vnum] <Mob Name>

This should look like "Mcreate 73926 A Big Guard". This will create a Mob for you to edit using the mset command, which leads us onto our next topic...

Making the Mobs to Your Liking

These are commands that you will use to set your mob to what you like, things such as name, level, sex, alignment, anything mob oriented, except programs, you will edit using mset. An example of the mset command should be used like this:

mset <mob name> <command> <variable>
A real example is like this.
mset Puff short Puff the Magic Dragon.

To get a better idea, experiment with the command on your mud, it will help you a lot, believe me. Here is a listing of the mset commands you will use and what they do:

* NOTE: The flags command is very important, specifically the prototype flag. This flag defines whether the object is "index" or "original". If you edit an index or prototype mob, it will affect all the other mobs in the game. If the mob you edit does not have the prototype flag on it, then when you edit it it will be the only one affected. NOTE: Try to avoid using the AGGRESSIVE tag. It does it's job, but there is no warning. Instead, try to use an MProg that does the same thing, only with more RP

** NOTE: These commands are kind of hard to grasp for a newbie builder, I reccommend you just use hitroll and damroll to determine these outcomes respectively.
