====== LADY scripts ======

LADY is LORD's scripting language for events. LORD FP runs LORD 4.06's scripts and LORD 4.07/4.08's.

===== Forest events =====
If ''LORD.LDY'' is in the game directory, the forest's random events come from it, as in LORD 4.06: the game runs its quest ''LORD''. LORD 4.06's own ''LORD.LDY'' picks one of the events in ''EVENTS.LDY'': the old man, a sack of gold, a Hammer Stone, a gem, the horse seller. File names are matched in any case.

Edit them, or add scripts such as Belgarion's LORD LADY scripts, as LORD 4.06's ''LADY.DOC'' describes. The fairies, Olivia, the flower garden, the dungeon and the other big events stay built in. Without ''LORD.LDY'' the game uses its own versions of those events.

===== LORD 4.07 and 4.08 scripts =====
The extra commands in 4.07's ''LADY.DOC'' work:
  * ''+'', ''-'' and ''!'' in ''@set''; ''<>'' and ''!='' in ''@if'';
  * ''@saveplayer'', ''@endgame'', ''@changearm'', ''@changewep'', ''@setbit'', ''@openfile'' and the rest.
And the other hooks:
^ File ^ Quest ^ When ^
| ''INN.LDY'' | ''LEAVEINN'' | A player leaves the Inn. |
| ''BANK.LDY'' | ''LEAVEBANK'' | A player leaves the bank, in place of the built-in amulet offer. |
| any ''.LDY'' | ''MAINT'' | The daily maintenance. |
''&rnd<n>'' gives 1 to n, as 4.07's ''LADY.DOC'' says (4.06's said 0 to n; its own scripts work either way).

===== Installing 4.07 events =====
4.07-style events (with an ''@#INSTALL'' quest) are installed with lordcfg's **E** (LADY events) screen, as with 4.07's LORDCFG. Give it the event's ''.LDY'' file and it:
  * adds the event and makes ''LORD.LDY'', ''INN.LDY'' or ''BANK.LDY'' again (each event in a file has the same chance), or
  * adds an Other Places entry (''@LADY <event> <file>'' in ''3RDPARTY.DAT'').
Uninstall runs the event's ''@#UNINSTALL'' and shows what it would delete first. Events can also be turned off and on. The list is kept in ''ladyevnt.dat'' (''LADYEVNT.DAT'' on DOS).

The first time, the events in the current ''LORD.LDY'', ''INN.LDY'' and ''BANK.LDY'' are taken over (the originals are kept as ''LORD.ORG'', ''INN.ORG'' and ''BANK.ORG''), so a hand-made ''LORD.LDY'' keeps working. 4.06-style scripts (no ''@#INSTALL'') are still added by hand, but once lordcfg manages ''LORD.LDY'', add them through it or they will be overwritten.

===== Testing scripts =====
''lord -debug'' (''LORD.EXE <node> /DEBUG'' on DOS) writes every script line it runs to ''lady.log'' in the game directory. In the forest:
  * **3** runs ''LORD.LDY'', as in LORD 4.06;
  * **X** runs quest ''TEST'' in ''TEST.LDY'', as in 4.07.
