A GenRecipe is a sub-type of GenReadable that contains one or more custom recipes from a single crafting skill. Players who have a GenRecipe in their immediately accessible inventory (inventory, or a container with accessible contents flag) will be able to craft items from this GenRecipe if they meet the level requirements. The recipes will appear on their skill's LIST command, and will be subject to their skill's INFO command, as if the recipe was part of the skill. Dropping the recipe, or putting it in a non-accessible container, will result in all recipes from the GenRecipe no longer appearing on the skill's LIST.

Creating a GenRecipe

GenRecipes can be created from the Command Line with the command CREATE GENRECIPE or from the MUDGrinder in a room or mob's inventory.

Recipe Data

This field contains the information unique to recipes.

• Skill ID : This should be the crafting skill name that the GenRecipe will add new recipes to the owner
• Maximum Recipe Count : A GenRecipe may hold 1 or more recipes. Be conservative with this value, as players will use any remaining slot to create their own recipe books from your GenRecipe.
• Recipe data: From the command line, you may edit existing recipes or add a new one by selecting the appropriate number (1 for a new recipe on a blank GenRecipe, for example)
  • After selecting the recipe number, you must enter a valid comma-delimited recipe code. The number of fields varies by the crafting skill selected. If you select "?", it will return a string valid for that crafting skill.

:: For Example, at the time of this entry, the blacksmithing comma-delimited recipe code reads: 

ITEM_NAME,ITEM_LEVEL,BUILD_TIME_TICKS,MATERIALS_REQUIRED,ITEM_BASE_VALUE,ITEM_CLASS_ID,STATUE||RIDE_BASIS||CONTAINER_TYPE_OR_LIDLOCK||CODED_WEAR_LOCATION,CONTAINER_CAPACITY||LIQUID_CAPACITY||MAX_WAND_USES||LIGHT_DURATION||DICE_SIDES,CODED_SPELL_LIST

Breaking that up into individual fields:

ITEM_NAME,
ITEM_LEVEL,
BUILD_TIME_TICKS,
MATERIALS_REQUIRED,
ITEM_BASE_VALUE,
ITEM_CLASS_ID,
STATUE||RIDE_BASIS||CONTAINER_TYPE_OR_LIDLOCK||CODED_WEAR_LOCATION,
CONTAINER_CAPACITY||LIQUID_CAPACITY||MAX_WAND_USES||LIGHT_DURATION||DICE_SIDES,
CODED_SPELL_LIST

::

Each field in the comma-delimited recipe code has a specific purpose, and some fields have multiple purposes depending on other fields. The fields with the or (||) operands are fields whose purpose is derived from another field, most likely the Item_Class_ID field.
