===MudChat===
Targets:	MOBs
Parameters:	optional or additional chat data file name and/or chat-mob-type
Examples:	smurf chat.dat=smurf mychat.dat=cityguard mychat.dat= +(here there);9neither;5well, where?;1nowhere
Description:	Allows the mobs to speak and respond to speech. The chat.dat file, from which speech behavior is derived, contains many "templates" for different speech behaviors. MudChat will attempt to choose the correct speech behavior for the mob based on the mobs name. This may be overridden by specifying a speech behavior in the parameters. Speech patterns in the chat.dat at present include: default dog fido beastly fido_dog cat kitten lion pig boar doll toy papa_smurf smurf monster smurfette healer cleric doctor If the first character in the parameters is a plus-sign, then a semi-colon delimited list of chat data is expected, in the same format as is found in chat.dat.

Notes

• Official MUDChat Guide should be your primary resource for developing mudchats.
• Due to EMOTE commands not supporting pronoun tags (like <S-HIS-HER>), MUDchat should be written generically to avoid such references when possible.
  • Example: Instead of options for a rabbit to: -wiggles his nose.- use -wiggles its nose.-
