Item Model

This is where all of ScalyMUCK’s model definitions are located, save for the modifications that may extend the software in such a way that it demands for extra models but that is beyond the point.

The “base” definitions located in models.py are:

• Exit
• Player
• Room
• Item
• Bot

All of the above classes inherit a few functions from ObjectBase as well.

class models.Item(name=None, description='<Unset>', owner=0)

Base item model that ScalyMUCK uses.

Items are really a generic object in ScalyMUCK, they’re not players nor rooms nor exits but serve multiple purposes. They can quite literally be an item, stored in the player’s inventory to be used later (like a potion) or they may be used to decorate rooms with specific objects such as furniture or they may even be used to represent dead bodies.
