+help item descriptions

Syntax: &desc_#<item dbref> me=<short desc>

Used to add a short desc for an item, which will appear as part of the inventory listing for that item.

Most items are named <name> - <dbref w/o #> so if your item was named 9mm clip - 4223 you would:

Syntax: &desc_#4223 me=a 9mm clip in the right pocket.

Setup

Okay simple thing to the setup:

• If you are not already, parent yourself to #2409 via @parent me=#2409
• If you had your own conformat, clear it by entering: @conformat me

Example

Before descing, your inventory looks like this:

.--[Carrying]--
|--[Weapons]---
| - L1A1 Self Loading Rifle - 123456
'--------------

You set the desc as follows:

&desc_#123456 me=Hanging behind back: L1A1 Self Loading Rifle

And now it displays as:

.--[Carrying]--
|--[Weapons]---
| - Hanging behind back: L1A1 Self Loading Rifle
|   `(L1A1 Self Loading Rifle - 123456)
'--------------
