Using the Blob to create treasures

Configure the blob using 'blob setup treasures'

A treasure is a generic object that a player can pick up. Traditionally they provide no special abilities and the blob does not (at this time) allow you to add any such. A treasure is primarily an item that has a value and a weight. Use a treasure when you want to create an object that is not specifically anything else - like an armour/weapon/monster

Attribute 'long'

Summary : Long Description
Mandatory : Yes
Type : multiline
Default : 0
Description : This description is the text that a player sees when they enter a room while in verbose mode or when they do a look.
[top]

Attribute 'name'

Summary : The name of the item
Mandatory : Yes
Type : line
Default : 0
Description : This is NOT what a player sees when they have the item in their inventory, that is the 'short'
The name is what the player uses to identify the item, when combined with any adjectives. This should be derived from the 'short'.
Example 0 : If the short is 'glittering dagger' you could use an adjective of 'glittering' and name of 'dagger'
Example 1 : Alternatively if the short is 'glittering dagger' you could use an name of 'glittering dagger' and an alias of 'dagger'

Attribute 'short'

Summary : Short Description
Mandatory : Yes
Type : line
Default : 0
Description : This description of the item when seen in a room or in someones inventory.
This SHOULD NOT include a leading 'A', 'The', etc unless absolutely necessary. If such a prefix is used then you should set the item as 'unique' and make an effort to ensure that no more than one of these items ever exists.
Example 0 : 'glittering dagger', not 'a glittering dagger'

Attribute 'unique'

Summary : Whether the treasure is unique
Mandatory : No
Type : int
Default : 0
Description : Normally the mud controls whether an 'a'/'an'/'the'/'your/etc is added to the front of the short for any object. For example 'You wield your glowing sword'. This properly handles you carrying two copies of the object. Sometimes this is not appropriate - you might wish to create an object that is 'unique', in that only one copy of the object will exist at any given time and it has a fancy name like 'Yorik's skullcrusher'. In this situation it makes no sense for an 'a' to be prepended.

Attribute 'value'

Summary : Value
Mandatory : Yes
Type : int
Default : 0
Description : The value (in gold coins) that a normal shopkeeper will pay for this item.
[top]

Attribute 'weight'

Summary : Weight
Mandatory : Yes
Type : float
Default : 0
Description : The weight of this item.
0 is no weight, 6 is very heavy, most players have about 30 maximum carry weight.
