Documentation should be updated - it does not document everything. Such as adding player attributes, authentication...

[shawncplus]

I consider some things self-documenting. Like player attributes there is just an object in src/player.js that is commented // Attributes that you can just add to. As far as authentication could you provide more specifics on what you mean by authentication?

[whiskers75]

I still think you should document the self-documenting areas for those who do not know much about N

[whiskers75]

ode. And about authentication - how to change the messages it gives at the login screen.

[shawncplus]

I can certainly do that. Until I add that you just edit this file https://github.com/shawncplus/ranviermud/blob/master/data/motd

[whiskers75]

Could you also document an example of l10n in action and how to parse JSON files?

[shawncplus]

For l10n in action see the Practical Example section of https://github.com/shawncplus/ranviermud/wiki/Localization and what about parsing JSON files that's a bit ambiguous.

[whiskers75]

In your README you mention that the JSONs can be parsed put do not mention how.

[whiskers75]

And please document the items such as attributes for people who just want to make a MUD.

[whiskers75]

You mention the attributes file - but how would you change an attribute in a script file?

[shawncplus]

What are you referencing when you say i mention an attributes file?

[whiskers75]

Your post here.

[shawncplus]

Well, I said that there's an Attributes section of src/player.js if that's what you meant. What do you mean change an attribute in a script file? Like, you have a script and you want to change a player's health or something?

[shawncplus]

See https://github.com/shawncplus/ranviermud/wiki/Skills-and-Affects which shows how to set affects/attributes

[whiskers75]

Yes I do mean a script to change an attribute - trying to create a money attribute and do not know how to change the amount per player.

[whiskers75]

And also the Skills and Affects doesn't mention attributes in player.js as far as I can see...

[shawncplus]

All of the skills and affects are driven by setting/getting player attributes, look at the setAttribute/getAttribute methods

@whiskers75 Check out my fork of the project for some practical examples of adding custom attributes, classes, effects, skills, etc. You will need, at least, a basic working knowledge of JS to make a MUD using ranvier's engine, to be honest.
