Make a variable for each thing you want to put into world.status.

-How much players can log in the world

var/max_players
client/verb/maximum_players(N as num)
    max_players = N


-For how long the server is on

There is already a variable for this called time belonging to the world.

Put the variables into the status. For the time, you will want to update it every once in a while.
client/verb/maximum_players(N as num)
    max_players = N
    world.status = "[N] max players, [world.time/10] seconds running"
world/New()
    spawn()time_status()
proc/time_status()
    while(1)
        sleep(300) //it will update about twice a minute with that
        world.status = "[N] max players, [world.time/10] seconds running"

Try to make a function that displays it in hours, minutes and seconds rather than just seconds.

1. Any peice of code can be modified to do anything, if you couldnt do that, it wouldnt be programming, it would be... something else.

2. No exemple given on any forum anywhere is gona be formated to your specific needs. You will not be able to copy paste it into your code and expect it to work. Those are called libraries.

Answer : No, write your own from the given exemple.

Well, that's not true. Number one, that is.

For example, stat() cannot be rewritten to display a person's suffix with red text instead of blue. Hell, you can't even make it display the mob with an altered name beside it without changing the name directly.

Put the variables into the status. For the time, you will want to update it every once in a while.

var/max_players     //Creates a new varible called max_players.
client/verb/maximum_players(N as num)   //Creates a new verb that brings up a box that you can enter numbers into.
    max_players = N     //Sets max_players to N (the number you inputed).
    world.status = "[max_players] players, [world.time/10] seconds running"       //Changes the worlds status to, "<number> players, <time> seconds running.
world/New()     //When the world is created.
    spawn()time_status()    //Call the time_status() procedure.
proc/time_status()  //The time_status() procedure.
    while(1)
        sleep(300) //it will update about twice a minute with that
        world.status = "[max_players] max players, [world.time/10] seconds running"


It's not really complicating if you examine what it says. I mean I don't fully "understood" your English, but I can kind of tell what it says by the words around it.

If you don't understand how to program, then maybe you should check out ZBT.
