Have fun. Note: Because of the << in the C code, you may not be able to see the code correctly. I don't have a good solution to this at this point. You want to use the ViewSource option or save this page to disk to get the code.

Wandering Sage Code
Ok, you have probably seen MUDs that have a wandering banker mobile.
This is a little different. This is a wandering sage who will IDENTIFY
objects for non-mage players. (I've never been a God on a MUD that had it,
so I don't know if it has any wierd social dynamics. My suggestion is to
make it hard to find this guy.)
Anyway, players find the guy and type "IDENTIFY object" and the guy
tells them what it is, like the IDENTIFY spell does. He also relieves
them of 100 gp * the level of the object.

Falling objects
Ok, what this does it causes objects in air sectors to fall. This is
a real nice touch if you have lots of airy zones, like my Aarakocran city,
or the air above Midgaard.
Everything falls. This is pretty funny if you are standing in the
square in Midgaard below the air and corpses of flying monsters start
falling down. It is also pretty funny if you have flying mobiles in air
zones who have treasure and as players loot the corpse the corpse is falling.
Put this code in UPDATE.C in the function obj_update() where you see
if ( obj->timer <= 0 || --obj->timer > 0 )
continue;
Put it before the continue and put braces around the whole thing and
the continue.
if (obj->in_room &&
obj->in_room->sector_type == SECT_AIR &&

Ok, this is for making trophy bags. Here is the idea. Player kills some
major mobile, like Ares and can take the corpse and skin it and make a bag
out of it. You can do this with player corpses as well, works great if you
have a PKILL mud.
I originally set this up as a NPC only spell, like dragon breath. The idea
was there would be a scroll of it, and also a taxidermist shopkeeper who would
do it for you. On the MUD where it went in, it was made a player spell and
given to some kind of woodsman class.
You can fiddle with the amount these bags will contain below. Note that if
you decide to go with the taxidermist idea, and make him a shopkeeper, he will
buy corpses for 1-2gp and make 1000gp trophy bags. Because of how Merc is set
up, you also need to change the "level" of corpses to level 1 instead of level
0, shopkeepers don't buy level 0 stuff.

This one is real nifty. The idea comes from a Mr. Peckham whose

To get this to work you have to either modify your area file format
to have resets for random objects and your DB.C loader. I'll leave
that as an exercise for you.
If you want to see how this works without all the fuss, put something
like this in your create_mobile() in DB.C. This gives any mobile a
random chance to have something special.
