Test Center Commands and Resources
By Petra Fyde, August 2009
Setting Skills and Stats | Basic Resources | Resources by Command | General Notes

In order that players may thoroughly test potential templates and upcoming publishes a number of commands and resources are available on the Test Center that are not found on the normal shards.

Setting Skills and Stats

Skills and stats are set by command, simply by typing in the instruction ‘set [name] [value]’ For example: ‘set str 125′ will set the character’s strength to 125. Total str/dex/int available = 255. Although skills can be set to 120 in skills that have that potential, the total skill points for a single character can not exceed 700 points, no matter what the age of the account. Skills are set by increments of 0.1, but the decimal point is ignored, therefore saying ‘set [name] 100′ will in fact set the named skill to 10.0.  In order to set the skill to 100 you must say ‘set [name] 1000′.

To set a skill you must use the correct term, for example ‘set blacksmithing’ or ‘set blacksmithy’ will not work, the correct term is ‘set blacksmith’.  Typing in ‘help skills’ will bring up the list of skill names pictured below.

The plant gump must be open when you give the command, each time you give it a small emote will appear, indicating that the plant has achieved one day’s growth. You will need to tend the plant with water and potions between commands as if it had gone through a normal, daily, growth check.

General Test Center Notes

Test Center is entirely separate from normal production shards, it is subject to periodic wipes which will delete any characters and their possessions.

Sometimes the Test Center in use is based on a back-up of one of the main shards, when this happens copies of houses and characters on the production shard used can be found on the test center.

Houses placed on Test Center do not effect houses on normal shards and will not condemn them. Characters may not transfer on to or off of the Test Center.

  1. Test center is not responding to either Give Arties or Give Armor…. Do these no longer work?

  2. Give crystals doesn’t appear to be functional at this time. I have edited the section on grow_plant to clarify.

    do these commands only work at certain times? I have tried using the Grow_Plant and Give Crystals commands and neither of those work at the present time on TC1.
