&HELP2 Language v2=$+speak/admin:th [pemit(%#,MAINTAINING +SPEAK%r%rRight now, I have no nifty commands coded up yet for adding languages or words for admin in general, but I have made it easier for wizards to reset the necessary attributes in order to do so as a stop-gap measure. If you wish to add more words to a language, simply find the attribute with the language's name, and then reset it with the new words appended. If you wish to add a language, set a new attribute with the language's name on the language v2 object and add the language to the LIST attribute.%r)]

&LANGUAGE Language v2=[match(v(list),*[%q0]*)]

&LIST Language v2=<Space-separated list of languages that are valid in the system>

&ODD Language v2=[if(eq(mod(v(0),2),1),1,0)]

&PROCESS Language v2=[iter(v(0),[index(v(%q9),,[rand(words(v(%q9)))],1)])]

&ROLL Language v2=[or(gte(getskill(v(0),index(v(list),,%q4,1)),5),gte([add(4df(),[getskill(v(0),index(v(list),,%q4,1))])],5))]

(Currently the system uses the getskill function that comes with the Jointhesaga.com FUDGE-based coded skill system, but the ROLL and SPEAK attributes can be modified to work with your system too.)
