I have noticed several times that things are not recognized by megamud, is there anyway to easily change or add items to the database?
The short answer is:
No.
The long answer is:
Unfortunatly we don't know what database format megamud uses so no one has ever worked out an editor for it. It's one of those problems that has existed for a long time and has afflicted metros mods as well as edited boards and now Greatermud. Untill someone really sits down and tries to crack the data structure there probably will not be one either.
As far as items go:
Item's should automaticly add themselves in. Some times it takes dropping and picking them up for mega to see the item. Once they auto add then you can put the settings in for them. Right now this is the only way you can add items into the data base. As for other game objects like spells, races, and such its completely manual.
PS this isn't really a bug so I'm moving it into the FAQ section.
