Name of code: The d6 System
Version, if any: version 2
Date of release: Febuary 20, 2005

Description of the code, number of objects, its functions, $commands it defines, etc.:

  Overall Description:
    This is a combination skills, chargen, combat, language, and RP award nomination code. It's based for the most part on West End Game's d6 System.

  Changes since the first version:
    * Specializations take the form Language:English, rather than just English. This allows different skills to specialize in the same areas, for example an Vehicle Operation & Vehicle Repair skill. Also there are no longer individual +sinfo files for every specialization, which makes it easier to have hundreds of different specializations.
    * CLR_Border attribute on database objects makes it easy to change the color of +sheet & +sinfo.
    * CFG_Wounds attribute on d6 Database allows admin to toggle between two different health systems. If set to '1', it will act like the Star Wars WEG wound-style health system, while if it's zero it'll default to a Body Point system.
    * +raise now implements training times, and Star Wars WEG rules for attribute increases.
    * Move is implemented.
    * Race support added, including +newrace/+setrace/+remrace commands.
    * Changes to +sheets are logged, and the log is viewable via the +sheet/log command.
    * Armor support exists, as does having different types of damage.
    * Added prerequisite code, which +roll & +raise both test.
    * Added language system.
    * Added special abilities.
    * Physical Chargen room code.
    * Provided code for chargen exits.
    * Improved +dice command.

"As used on" this MUSH, if any: 
    No MUSH currently uses this exact version, though several games use similiar variants.  Main source for this version came from Wing Commander: Dark Omens, a MUSH that wasn't ready to open last I checked.

Server required for code: PennMUSH (untested on other platforms)
Patchlevel/version of server required/tested on: PennMUSH 1.7.7p34, PennMUSH 1.8.0p02.
Privileges required: 
    The code should be owned by a wizard, and several objects will need the WIZARD flag. Three objects will go into the Master room. One for d6 proper, another for the +nom system and a third for languages.

Terms of code use: 
    Feel free to use and modify this at your own risk.  And don't take credit for coding this system away from me. (Though 'Originally coded by Dahan, Modified by <insert name here>' is acceptible.)

Support policy: 
    You're on your own, but if you can find me I may answer questions.

Installation instructions: 
    Log in as the appropriate WIZARD character, and paste in the entire file. On zMud, I tend to use the Actions -> Send file to MUD... option with a 1000 millisecond delay between commands.

Help instructions:
    Use the +sinfo [<topic>] & +nom/help [<topic>] commands after the system is in place to read the documentation.
