Provide the info. Be sure to include sample MUD output of all possible item stats that you want to enter in the database, how you would prefer each stat to be stored, and any other information that might be helpful (like some particular line that always appears after viewing the stats of an item, or your prompt).

actually the full names of the items dont appear in the id output.. but if
you can make it copy lets say exactly 'mace runed wicked' into the Object
line.. and create a blank name line above it that i can enter manually..
that way i can enter the names of the items myself.. and have the keywords
for the items there as well.. pretty spanky :)

ok we have the following stats.. STR, DEX, AGI, CHA, CON, POW, INT, WIS..
also we have SV_SPELL, SV_PARA, SV_ROD, SV_PETRI, SV_BREATH.. then there are
STR_MAX, CON_MAX, etc.. all these are under the effects area i believe..
with the HITROLL and DAMROLL...

we can have No-Cleric, No-Thief, No-Warrior, No-Mage... those are the 4
major class categories.. then it can be broken town to races or classes..
but instead of No<info> its Anti<info>.. so Anti-Invoker, Anti_Duergar.. etc

Then there are the following flags... NoBurn, NoLocate,NoDrop(sometimes
called cursed), Bless, Float, Magic, NoSummon, TWOHANDS, NOBITS, NOSLEEP..
all these are in capitals too...

the item type field says what it is.. though it wont say ring, necklace,
armor.... it will all be armor.. etc.. no dagger, sword, axe... all under
weapons.. potion.. staff.. container.. etc.. not sure of all of them..

oh yeah.. eq slots.. we have

worn on head an adamantine crown
worn on eyes a purple silk eyepatch
worn in ear a tiny rosewood disc
worn in ear a tiny rosewood disc
worn on face a glittering golden mask
worn around neck a malevolent darkstone amulet
worn around neck a holy symbol shaped like a beast head
worn on body some platemail of the forest
worn as quiver an eelskin quiver
worn about waist a thin girdle with a turquoise clasp
worn on arms a deep-blue set of sleeves
worn around wrist a silver band
worn around wrist an ivory bracelet
worn on hands talons of the raven
worn on finger a ring of eldritch fire
worn on finger a ring of eldritch fire
held a jewel-encrusted egg (here can be 'primary
weapon')
held a swirling orb of air (here can be either
'secondary weapon' or 'worn as shield')
worn on legs a pair of itchy knit gretwehrr legwarmers
worn on feet a pair of itchy knit gretwehrr slippers

Item can be worn on: WIELD, HOLD, etc.. i can find out the rest for you if
you need these.....

I would like to keep the same fields in my dbase that are in the outputs.. and categories such as weapons, armors, potions, staves.. instead of rings, necklaces.. etc

I would be happy with just cutting and pasting whatever is in the output to the database.. what other info do u need..

help you or do it for you? It seems more people want a quick fix than to learn, In the finished scripts forum there are two examples of hoe this can be done.

1) is by Charbal
2) is by megamog75

There might be others but These are very reliable.

now lets look at some of the questions you asked that this program should do and I will show you how you answered your own question.

___________________________________________
actually the full names of the items dont appear in the id output.. but if
you can make it copy lets say exactly 'mace runed wicked' into the Object
line.. and create a blank name line above it that i can enter manually..
_______________________________________________
so when you: mace runed wicked, you would like zmud tho ask or #prompt you for the full name?
___________________________________________________

#trigger {^You feel informed~:} {maybe turn on captue mode or class containing all the nessecary triggers}
#trigger {^Object ~'(*)~'~, item type~: (%w)} {#addkey newrecord {name="%1"|type=%2}}
#trigger {^Item will give you following abilities~: (*)} {#addkey newrecord {abilities="%1"}}
#trigger {^Item is~: (*)} {#addkey newrecord {properties="%1}}
#trigger {^Weight~: (%d)~, Value~: (%d)} {#addkey newrecord {lbs=%1|value=%2}}

get the idea.................

then your last trigger would be
:

#trigger {^$} {#new @newrecord}

Ofcorse all of this is talked about in the manual if you would just have read it.

i appreciate your help.. i've tried to read the manual.. it just makes no sense to me.. i'm a complete idiot with this stuff.. i cant understand even one thing that you posted.. no clue what it does.. how it affects zmud or the dbase.
