NITETIME MUD // GETTING HELP AND UNSTUCK ======================================= IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO TYPE menu Shows the beginner action guide. `newbie` and `helpme` are aliases. IF YOU FORGOT YOUR QUEST OBJECTIVE tasks Shows the next required objective without printing a walkthrough. Then use `quests` or `quests ` for more progress detail. IF YOU WANT A NUDGE hint Hints are progressive. The first is gentler; repeated use reveals the next available stage for the incomplete objective. IF YOU CANNOT FIND AN EXIT OR OBJECT look look Use an exit name exactly as displayed. A route may need story progress, and interactive routes explain their state. Check `tasks` before assuming something is broken. IF EQUIPMENT WILL NOT WORK inventory status The Field Radio Case must be carried and prepared. Bearing readings also require a valid survey location. Other contextual commands require their named nearby object and sometimes earlier quest progress. The Field Camera must be carried and held with both hands. Use `equipment` and `camera` to check. Recharge works only while carrying the camera in NITETIME.NET Garage. IF A CAMERA FRAME OR SNAP FAILS Frame again after moving or after a portrait is accepted. SNAP checks the live scene a second time; a missing subject, expired consent, empty battery or full lab queue does not spend an exposure. Use `photos` to review captures already owned by this Character. IF A QUEUED PHOTO HAS NO IMAGE YET That can be normal. Development is currently a manual external lab workflow, not a deployed automatic renderer. IF YOU WANT TO ASK ANOTHER PLAYER online global Could someone give me a spoiler-light hint? Use `local` for people in your room or `private ` for one connected character. GENERAL HELP help help comms `help look`, for example, requests help for the look command. `comms` opens the verified communication guide.
