Flags

In source code these are things like FL_FLYING, in lua they are Flag.Flying

To check or set the Flags of an object use the 'flags' command, also use it with no arguments to list all possible flags.

How to add a new Flag

Add the flag name to the end of data/flags and then do a full recompile (type 'make' from src/).

Reset Flags

The 'rflag' value is what the actual Flag will get set back to, when the object is reset.

Temporary Flags

The 'tflag' value represents a flag which has been temporarily set on an object, and will be removed when the object quits or is reset.

Telling them apart

When the 'flags' command is used on an object, the output will be a list of flags in one of 3 forms. Any flag marked like +[blah] is a tflag but not an rflag, so it will disappear next reset/login. Any flag marked as [blah] is both a tflag and an rflag: this is the usual state for most flags. Any flag marked as -(blah) is an rflag but not a tflag: this means it is currently switched off but will be switched back on again next reset/login.

Privilege Flags

In-game these are viewed with the pflags command.
In source code these are things like PFL_BECOME, in lua they are Priv.Become

To check or set the PFlags of an object use the 'plfags' command.

How to add a new PFlag

Add the PFlag name to the bottom of data/pflags, then a full recompile as for new flags above.

We will be grateful for any more info on flags that anyone knows, I am just putting stuff as I find it out

nb. this will be autogenerated from the list in data/flags at some point.
