This file lists the program codes for the new built in Random Happening
Program (RHP) system.  See GATEWAY.TXT under the section [EXTRA SETUP
INFO] for how to install your RHPs into The Gateway.  Remember
that if you distribute your programs, please give me credit for writing
The Gateway!
                                        
Look at SAMPLE.RHP to see how these can be used.

The RHP language uses codes that have a @ on both sides.
Unless otherwise notified, codes will work with previous versions.

Example: @PROGRAM@ GATEWAY
Example: @VERSION@ 1.0

This first set is just normal commands with no parameters.
@;@@PROGRAM@ xxxxxxxxxxx  What program its for, for this program put GATWAY
@;@@VERSION@ xxxx         Version of program the script is compatible with
@;@@NAME@ xxxxxxxx        This is the name of the RHP to be displayed in the
                          menu.
@;@@LIMIT@ xxxx           Limits the number of times the RHP can be accessed
                          in a day.
@;@@VARIABLE1@ xxxxxxxxx  Gives a name to the given user variable number.  If
                          you define a name, it will show up in the stats.
                          Max length is 13 characters. (v1.0a)
@;@                       Comment, everyting on a line with this at the
                          front will be ignored (works in recording)
@CLEAR@                   Clear the screen (works in recording)
@STATS@                   Displays the player stats

@DELAY@                   Small delay (250 or so milliseconds)
@END@                     Stop program and pause
@KILL@                    Stop program, pause, and kill player (player is
                          notified)
@EXIT@                    Stop program, pause, and exit to LORD
@RUNRHP@ xxxxxxxx.xxx     Run an external RHP program.  Does not return to
                          first program.

This set is for writing to a player's MAIL?.DAT and LORD's LOGNOW.TXT.
@MAIL@      Start writing to mail
@MAILEND@   Stop writing to mail
@NEWS@      Start writing to LOGNOW.TXT
@NEWSLINE@  Stop writing to LOGNOW.TXT and add a line "-=-=-=-" centered
@NEWSEND@   Stop writing to LOGNOW.TXT

The following two sets can be used in mail and news recordings.

The next set is for designating setions to go to.
@#xxxxxxxx         Section designation, no maximun length
@GOTO@ @#xxxxxxxx  Go to section xxxxxxx after this command

The one in this section is for writing lengths of spaces.
@SPACE@ x  Write x spaces to screen/file

This new set is for testing existing information and can be used in main
or news recording.
Example: @IF@ FEMALE @GOTO@ @#Help (if player is female, goto section
                                    @#Help)
Example: @IF@ EXPERIENCE>0 @GOTO@ @#Help (if experience is greater than 0,
                                          goto section @#Help)
Example @IF@ FIGHTER `9Good job! (if player is a Death Knight, write
                                  `9Good job! to file/screen)
Example @IFNOT@ MAGIC `9Good job! (if player is not a Magician, write
                                   `9Good job! to file/screen)

@IF@ condition command  Test condition, if true do command.  Command can
                        be any RHP @ command or one line text.  Condition
                        can have math in it (see variables section).
@IFNOT@ condition command  Test condition, if false do command.  Command can
                           be any RHP @ command or one line text.  Condition
                           can have math in it (see variables section).

conditions:
 FEMALE     : returns if player is female

              Able marrages as well as player to player.
 SPIRITS    : returns if player is in high spirits
 WEIRDEVENT : returns if player will have a weird event in the forest
 HEALED     : returns if player is healed
 x<y        : returns if number x is less than a number y
 x>y        : returns if number x is greater than a number y
 x<>y       : returns if x is not equal to y
 x=y        : returns if x is equal to y
Any number can be used as x or y or you can use player stats.
Player stats that can be used as x or y:
 VISITS     : Visits left
 FOREST     : Forest fights
 FIGHTS     : Player fights
 KIDS       : Kids
 DEFENCE    : Defence

 CHARM      : Charm
 WEAPON     : Weapon number
 ARMOUR     : Armour number
 LEVEL      : Player's level
 KILLS      : Number of player kills

The following set is for prompting for input.  The single character
section is used to act on input.  The program runner acts on the first
matching section found, so don't use the same selections nested.
Example: @PROMPT@ CD (prompts for C and D selections, must be an @##C and
                      @##D sections later.)
@YESNO@        Prompt for Y/n, Y and N sections
@PROMPT@ xx..  Prompt for selections xx.., selections must be capitalized
               The first selection will be the default one
@RANDOM@ x     Random number between 1 and x, each number a section
@##x           Single character section, can be called with @GOTO@

The following set has some special properties.  If you put a = before the
number x, it makes that attribute equal to x.  If you put %, it adds /
subtracts x% of the existing attribute to the attribute.  Ones marked with
a $ can be used in mail without the = option and may just increment the
attribute by 1.  Player is notified with a 'You LOSE/GAIN x <type>!' in
both mail and on screen, except not in mail for those that just increment.
You can also do one math operations (/,*,+,-) in a line.
Example: @EXPERIENCE@ %-15 (Subtracts 15% of experience)
Example: @GOLD@ =0 (Sets gold in hand to 0)
Example: @EXPERIENCE@ 4*LEVEL (Adds 4 times the player's level of
                               experience)
Example: @GOLD@ 6*GEMS (adds 6 times the player's gems to gold)

earlier ones.  They cannot be used in mail.  Player is NOT notified.

a string to output and they get replaced by the corresponding value.  Place
the word you want in between @*@ like so:
