If anyone wants to come up with a replacement to go on the help screen, post it here and I will put it up if it is agreed upon / accurate.

PK is turning into a wikigame. Smile

Command | Function

say: You will say whatever follows "say".
ie: "say Hello World!"

kill, k : You will strike at whatever name you type after the command.
ie: "kill synapz".
Note: You can also attack the following beasts with this command:
Rat, Cat, Snake, Wolf, Wolverine, Lion, Bear, Tiger, Elephant, Dragon.

info : Will list the sword, shield, and stats of the player following "info".
ie: info synapz

health, hp, h : Will display your current health.

The following 3 command give a list of online players. Green players are attackable. Grey players cannot be attacked, either because they are too powerful, too weak, or have just died. The red player is the player that last killed you.
who, w : List of players, sorted by skill
ws: List of players, sorted by swords
sh : List of players, sorted by shields

inventory, inv, i : Will list your belongings.

skills, ss : Will list your skill levels.

upgrade sword : Will upgrade your sword, if you can afford it.
upgrade shield : Will upgrade your shield, if you can afford it.

: You will do whatever follows ":". Example ": laughs at everyone!"

logout, quit : Logs you out.

Nicknames and abbreviations :
Instead of typing "kill synapz", you could type "kill syn" or even "kill s". However, if there is someone else with a name that begins with an "s", you may attack that person by accident.

Attacking animals can be abbreviated with kr, kc, ks, kw, kl, kb, kt, ke, and kd. The wolverine is the only animal attack that cannot be abbreviated.

Advice: If you kill someone, there's a chance you may take their equipment if it is better than yours. Use WHO and INFO to find players with weaker stats but better equipment and try to take it from them. Also, attack stronger players with better equipment to boost your stats quickly.

I'd like to format that better with color and tables. Can you copy + paste the code you had for the old help so I can see what commands I can use?

Oops. I deleted it when I put yours in. Smile

It was just regular tables and spans for colors, though.

Subject: Re: help / faq Sun Jan 14, 2007 4:02 am

Can you give me some examples? I haven't written html or php in months.

I think you will find this quite useful. Mess around to get what you want, then just cut and paste the text. Smile

Here's my attempt. I think discovering all the animals you can attack and strategies to use are a fun part of the game and shouldn't be shared much.

Erm, tables code is pretty ambiguous. I changed colors, text, alignment, spacing, etc.

What if it were changed to "Help by Janook and Autopsy"? Razz
