29.6 Format of contributions to Avalon.

For those of you submitting new additions to Avalon, please stick to the following format: Location descriptions should have the brief (short description), without a full stop. Then, on a separate line, the verbose, with single spaces after the full stops, and no word wrapping or carriage returns. The description should NOT include an exits summary (e.g. You see exits north and south) as this is automatically generated. If you are submitting more than one location description, the descriptions should be consecutive, brief, then verbose, then brief, then verbose. Any extra information, text, or exit notes for linking them up should be included at the end of any submission after the location text itself.

Object descriptions should have the brief (i.e. what you see in glance), then the examine (i.e. what you see when you examine), and then the inventory description (i.e. what you see when you type inv - a long black cape, for example). These should be on consecutive lines, no blank lines in between. If you are submitting a new CCC, then you should include, after the inventory, the leave text, the enter text, then the get text (e.g. So-and-so kicks you in the head rather than be picked up), and finally the death text (i.e. the text displayed when the creature is dead, in glance).

Remember: English not American spellings. Centre not center, favourite not favorite. A single space should follow a fullstop, and no word-wrapping should be attempted. And if in doubt, ask before you submit a great deal of work, it delays its implementation even if it is good quality if you submit in an awkward format. When submitting via e-mail use plain text, not HTML or Word or any other software specific format.

Further notes: it's is short for it is. its means belonging to it.
