 ====== OEDIT Object Edit ======
+What an object is I don't need to explain, how to make one, you will see now.\\
+To make a new object, type 'oedit create <vnum>'.\\
+To edit an existing one, type 'oedit <vnum>'.\\
+To leave oedit type 'done'.\\
+You shoulda guessed that already...\\
+Type 'show' or hit return with an empty line to see the object.\\
+You will see everything you can change about an object now, you should know\\
+most of them already, but let's go over it. We will try and make a weapon here,\\
+named 'The sword of savants'.
+===== Name =====
+Name holds the keywords of the object, to avoid confusion, it shoulda been \\
+named keywords, but I didn't write OLC and don't feel like rewriting it, so\\
+it's name. The sword we're making will have 'sword savant' as name, not the\\
+full 'The sword of savants'. \\
+Type 'name sword savant' to set the keywords.\\
+Now, when the object lies on the ground, you can type get sword or get savant\\
+to pick it up.
+===== Short description =====
+This will set what the weapon looks like when you wield it or when it's in your\\
+inventory. To set, type 'short <short desc>'.\\
+Our sword will have color, so type '{yThe sword of savants'.
+===== Long description =====
+This determines what the weapon looks like when it's lying on the ground.\\
+To set this, type 'long <long desc>'.\\
+For our sword let's use 'long Some silly savant dropped his sword here.'\\
+===== Level =====
+Type 'level <level>' to set the level of the object, in our case,\\
+'level 101'\\
+\\
+Cost\\
+Sets how many the object will cost in a shop or when you sell it in silver.\\
+(1 gold = 100 silver) It won't be bought for this much though, shops need profit.\\
+Be reasonable setting cost, don't make a stick cost 50000000 silver.\\
+Type 'cost <amount in silver>'. In our case, let's keep it at 0, making\\
+money with savants is illegal :p\\
+===== Weight =====
+Sets the weight of the object, be reasonable with weight too, a pair of silk trousers\\
+will weigh 10, a titanium breastplate may weigh 200 or more. Yes, 10 would be\\
+much for the trousers and 200 is almost as much as the weight equipment here weighs,\\
+but the weight you set is 10 times as much as the weight that shows up in lore or when\\
+you carry it. So the trousers would weigh 1 pound is you set it to 10. Our weapon is\\
+a pretty big sword, so let's set weight to 10 pounds by typing 'weight 100'.
+===== Object type =====
+This sets what the object is. Is is a fountain, a container, a sword or\\
+a piece of armor… '? type' should show a list of types, the names should\\
+explain themselves. (NOTE: Do NOT use roomkey, use key instead!)\\
+Setting the type, as you just might have guessed, 'type <type>'\\
+Since we're makings a sword, set type to 'type weapon'.\\
+Some new object flags v0 to v4 will appear now, we'll discuss those later.
+===== Wear =====
+This is the wear location of the item. When you want the eq to be worn or even just\\
+picked up, always have 'take' in the wear flag. Objects without this will always\\
+be loaded in the room and can't be picked up (this is funny when you do it with cash ;)\\
+'? wear' will show the different wear locations, you should know those already.\\
+To set it, type 'wear <wear location>'. Be careful, do NOT set more than one wear\\
+location! (besides 'take' that is) Our sword will obviously be wielded so type\\
+'wear take wield'.\\
+To remove a wear flag, type 'wear <flag>' again.
+===== Material =====
+Whatever it's supposed to do, it doesn't work here... So well, leave it as it is if you\\
+want to, or fill it in if you have too much free time.\\
+===== Extra flags =====
+Extra flags are things like hum, glow, sticky, magic, noremove, whatever.\\
+'? extra' will show a list. Set it with 'extra <1 or more flags>'.\\
+To remove a flag, just toggle it off by typing it again. Our weapon is nice looking\\
+equipment, so let's make it 'extra glow hum burnproof bless magic'
+===== v0 to v4 =====
+Most object types have special values, to determine the damroll of a weapon,\\
+to assign a portal to lead to a certain vnum, to assign a liquid type to\\
+a drink container or fountain.\\
+The v0 to v4 changes, some have all, some have 3, some have none.\\
+The names of the v0 to v4 should be self-explaining. Typing '? <v-keyword>'\\
+gives a list of values that can be assigned to them if there is one.
+===== WAffects =====
+Mobifiers can be added to an object, changing stats, hps, mana, etc. when you\\
+wear the eq.\\
+Syntax: 'addaffect <location> <modifier>'.\\
+Locations are the first 3 letters of a stat (luc, str, dex), hp/mana/moves or\\
+staves/hitroll/damroll/ac.\\
+Make sure the modifiers you add to an object are all according to\\
+specs. (If you don't have specs, ask imms a.s.a.p!)\\
+To remove an affect, type 'delaff <modifier_number>'.
+===== Extra descriptions =====
+Adding extra descriptions, to a map for example, work the same way as in redit.\\
+'ed add <keyword>', 'ed edit <keyword>', 'ed delete <keyword>', \\
+'ed format <keyword>'.
