1.    What is NMC?

A quick introduction to the manual, describing what the different parts of NMC are, what we're trying to do with each part, and the differences between NMC and other similar software.

a.       NMC Server

b.      NMC MUF

c.       Differences from FBMUCK, TinyMUCK, and other MU*s.

 

2.    NMC MUCKs for Beginners

Just what the title says. A basic introduction to NMC and MUCKs for total and complete beginners. This is the section I'm most unsure about - if there's something you'd love to have known while you were learning MUCKing, suggest that we add it in here somewhere.

a.       The basics - movement, communication, and sight.

b.      Customizing your character - messages, @descs, clothing, etc.

3.    Building on NMC MUCKs

Documentation on things useful to builders. Not so much "how to build" (there's places in the previous section for that), but more "how to use NMC's advanced building tools and make the most out of them".

a.       Regions

c.       Locking.

d.      Commands useful to builders

6.    Appendixes

Do we really need these in here? Having them would probably be a good thing, but they're also available in the online help of every NMC MUCK. Maybe providing tutorials for some of the more complicated commands, but those should be covered in sections 3-5.

1.      Standard Commands

2.      @ Commands

3.      + Commands

 

This page is incomplete at this time and requires more documentation to achieve completeness.  You can help with this!  Please send all documents to heartwood@members.limitless.org  Right now, here are some of the things we need help with before our current revision can ship.

 

We also need assistance with testing to make sure any bugs are found.  Any suggestions/bugs can be sent to the mailing list.
