Edit mobs

Use webOLC in the admin console to edit a mob prototype in your assigned building zone. Your changes stay in a draft until you commit them to the running world and write the zone file.

Before you start

• Sign in at /admin/ with a character assigned to build in the zone.
• Locate the mob in Mobs, or use the next free vnum on its zone page.

Caution

Commit draft updates the running world. Save zone file writes the .mob file so the change survives a server restart. The Live script controls apply immediately, and Discard won't undo them.

Edit a mob

1. Open Mobs and select the mob you want to change.
2. Choose Edit (or pick the free vnum on the zone page to create a new mob). Opening the editor claims the prototype and opens a draft.
3. Change its alias keywords, short and long descriptions, level, hit points, damage dice, position, race, alignment, or behavior flags.

4. Review your edits and choose Commit draft.

The mob prototype updates in the running world and releases your claim.

5. Choose Save zone file, or save from Workshop & saves.

Behavior flags and carveable corpses from help MEDIT

In help MEDIT, flagging a mob AWARE prevents players from backstabbing it, AGGR24 makes it trash-talk and attack characters at level 24 or higher (and occasionally brag on gossip when it kills someone), and HUNTER lets it track targets right through !MOB rooms while ignoring its own SENTINEL flag. To make a beast's corpse carveable for food (carve), add carve_meat, carve_rabbit, carve_fish, or carve_bird to its alias keyword list.

Did it work?

The mob detail page reflects your committed stats, and saving the zone file removes the zone from pending saves in Workshop & saves.

If it didn't work

• The mob is already claimed. Wait for the other builder to commit or discard their draft.
• Save zone file is disabled. Commit your mob draft first.
• Controls are read-only. Check your zone permissions in the builder guide.
