=head1 NAME

  gce - gtk (perl) crossfire editor

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  gce [<map-filename>...]

=head1 FEATURES

gce is a map editor for crossfire.

Its main features are:

   - higher map editing comfort
   - intelligent placement tool
   - intelligent connection tool
   - intelligent erase tool
   - faster and smaller than the java editor
   - map normalizing (removal of old deprecated attributes)
   - exit following
   - world map navigation
   - easier installation (on windows)
   - auto joining of walls (see Placement tool -> auto setting)

=head1 DESCRIPTION

=head2 THE TOOLBOX WINDOW

The toolbox window is the main window of gce. It provides the display of
the currently selected object and the tools. The buttons select of the
editing tool:

=over 4

=item * Pick

This tool is the simplest of all. It lets the user select the topmost
object of a map cell in the map window and updates the stack view for the
current space.

Shortcut-key in map editor: i

=item * Place

This is the intelligent placement tool. It has many modes:

=over 4

=item auto

This mode implements DWIM (do-what-I-mean) by trying to do the the right
thing(tm) with the selected object:

If you place a floor arch, it will try to replace the existing floor or
set the floor below all items. If you place a monster or other arch, it
will place it on top. If you place a wall, it will put the wall above the
floor and propably replace other walls.

Autojoin also works only in this mode. To draw an wall with autojoining pick
the wall arch which name looks like: <wallname>_0.  It's the single point wall
tile which has no connections.
When you place this arch now, it will autoconnect the walls you are drawing.

=item top

Places the arch on the top of the stack of the map cell.

=item above floor

Places the arch just right above the floor (or the bottom of the stack).

=item below floor

Places the arch just right below the floor (or the bottom of the stack).

=item bottom

Places the arch on the bottom of the stack.

=back

Shortcut-key in map editor: p

=item * Erase

This is the tool that lets you erase an arch.

It has following modes:

=over 4

=item top

Erases the topmost object on the stack.

=item walls

Erases all walls in the stack (and only walls).

=item above floor

Erases the first object above the floor.

=item floor

Erases all floor from the stack (and only the floor).

=item below floor

Erases the first object below the floor.

=item bottom

Erases the first object on the bottom of the stack.

=item pick match

This erases all objects from the stack that match the currently selected
object.

=item protect walls (checkbox)

This protects walls from being erased (except when erasing walls).

=item protect monsters (checkbox)

This protects monsters from being erased.

=back

Shortcut-key in map editor: e

=item * Select

This is the selection tool. It can be used to select rectangular areas and
operate on that area in various ways:

=over 4

=item copy

This just copies all objects from the selected area into an internal
buffer for later paste operations.

Shortcut-key in map editor: c

=item paste

This function pastes the internal buffer into the map, beginning in the
top left corner of the selected area. The size of the selection has no
relevance to the result: IT always places the whole internal buffer onto
the map.

Shortcut-key in map editor: p

=item invoke

This function is a very powerful one. It can apply another tool (such as
the place tool) on all spaces of the selected area.

It can, for example, be used to fill a map with floor tiles or erase
everything.

Shortcut-key in map editor: n

=back

Shortcut-key in map editor: s

=item * Eval

This is a very special tool which isn't finished yet. It lets you specify
a perl snippet that can manipulate the stack.

Shortcut-key in map editor: l

=item * Connect

This tool connects two exits, teleporters or adds the configures
connection value to the connectors.

This tool has 3 modes:

=over 4

=item auto

The auto mode tries to find exits first, and if it found one, it will
go into the exit connect mode. If no exit is found but a connectable
object is found, it will just add the connection value to the object.
(Note: This maybe gets in the way if you want to connect teleporters.
 The auto mode will only connect teleporters as if they are exits and not
 touch the connection value).

=item exit

This mode wont set any connection values.

=item connect

In this mode the connect tool will only set connection values and not
try to connect exits.

=back

You can either connect two exits to each other, or just point an exit to
a certain location on a map.

After clicking on an exit the first time you will see a string like this
in the tool dialoge in the main window: 'src: (12,9) teleporter'.
It tells you that you selected a source destination and that the next click will
connect the exit with another exit or just let it point where you clicked (if there
is no connectable object (in auto mode)).

To connect two exits, just click at the first and then at the second, and
the editor will try to find a path (map path) that fits the crossfire conventions.
It will also adjust the (x,y) coords so that the exits point at each other.

If something doesn't work as expected make sure you saved both maps
in a subdirectory of the crossfire map path (which you configured via
File->Preferences in the main window).

If the tile you edited with the connect tool contained a connectable
object, the currently configured connect value (set by the spin buttons in
the main window) will be set on them.

Shortcut-key in map editor: t

=item * Follow Exit

With this tool you can follow exits and teleporters by opening the target
map in a new window (or presents an existing window).

Shortcut-key in map editor: f

=back

=head2 THE STACK VIEW

This window displays the stack of a map space/coordinate.

You can swap two objects on the stack and delete a object from the stack
by dragging one object over another.

By clicking on an item on the stack you can make it the currently selected
object.

=head2 THE MAP EDITOR

This window just displays the map and lets you use the tools. The shortcuts are
documented above in the tool descriptions.

You can pan the map using the middle mouse button and use the tool with
the left mouse button.

There are two modifiers: Holding down the Meta/Alt-key temporarily
switches to the pick tool. Holding down the Ctrl-key temporarily switched
to the erase tool. Both will use their current settings. To change them,
you need to select the tools using the toolbox first.

There exists a context menu on right click:

=over 4

=item Follow

This context menu entry lets you follow an exit. It will open
a new map editor with the map. See Follow Exit tool.

=item object stack

Below the context menu entrys that are documented above there is a seperator
that seperates the object stack menu items.

Each object stack item is a submenu that offers following functionality:

=over 4

=item Add inventory

It allows you to add the current arch in the attribute editor
(a copy of it) to the object as inventory item.

=item Find in picker

This function tries to determine the picker group that this
object is in and opens a new picker pointing at that group.

=back

=back

=head2 THE ATTRIBUTE EDITOR

The attribute editor display the archetype name followed by the object
name and the type of the object in parentheses.

The 'reset to defaults' button erases all changes on the object and resets
it's value to the values of the archetype.

Since there are often many attributes for a given object, they are sorted
into different categories/tabs.

The lore and msg tabs let you edit the text attributes of the object.

Both field labels and value widgets have tool tips enabled. Tool tips on
the labels explain the attribute in more detail. The tool tips on the
value widgets show the default value from the archetype.

On the right side of the attribute editor you will find the inventory, you
can drag stuff there or just use the context menu von the pick window (see below)
to add inventory.

=head2 THE PICK WINDOW

Pick windows are used to quickly pick archetypes from specific categories.

Left click creates an object from the archetype and makes it the currently
selected object for the tools and the attribute editor.

You can change the attributes of the currently selected object in the
attribute editor.

Right click opens the context menu, where you can add the selected arch as
inventory to the object which is currently visible in the attribute editor.

You can open multiple pick windows.

=head1 MAP EDITING

=head2 SHOP PROPERTIES

There are 5 map properties related to shops that can be present in a map.
Any given map may have some, all or none of them (although in the later case,
it isn't considered to be a shop).

=over 4

=item Shopmin

This is an integer value. It is the minimum value that the object must have in
order to be considered by purchase for a shop. This is not the same as the price
offered, which can be substantially below shopmin.

=item Shopmax

This is an integer value. It uses value like shopmin does, however it is not a
fixed upper limit.

The value is adjusted downwards if it is in excess of one half of shopmax. The
output value is the minimum of shopmax and one half of shopmax plus the square root
of one half of shopmax

Note that the value is only an aspect of the final price, and the actual price offered for an item
can be substantially less than shopmax, even when the item's value in in excess of that.

=item Shoprace

if the player matches shoprace, this has no effect, if they do not, the price offered
is only 80% of what it would otherwise be.

=item Shopgreed

This is a multiplier on all prices offered, items brought from the player are done
so at a price divided by the greed, items sold to a player are overcharged by a factor of shopgreed.

=item Shopitems

This is a semi-colon deliminated list of item types and values.
each entry is a name of an item type (from the array in common/item.c)
followed by an optional colon then a value in the range -100 to 100.
(if this is missing, the default value of 0 is used.
This value is a measure of how much items of that type are preffered.
Neutrality is represented by 0 (so a theoretical 'general' store would
have 0 for everything), a positive preference for certain item types
is a positive value, and negative preference for item types is a negative value.

As a special note, the character * may be used once to set a preference for
everything not explicitly listed otherwise (this value would in most cases be negative)

for example, a typical magic shop might have the string:

   shopitems amulet:25;ring:40;potion:40;book:35;scroll:40;spellbook:40;skillscroll:50;wand:40;*:-50

and an armour shop might have the string:

   shopitems armour:50;shield:50;helmet:40;cloak:40;boots:40;gloves:40;bracers:50;girdle:50;*:-50

all possible name values for items are listed in common/item.c, however there are only some
that are likely to be used (doors are not sold very often....) this list is not definitive or
neccesarily up-to-date, but is a reasonable starting point for constructing a new shop.

282	Shortcut-key in map editor: e
283
284	=item * Select
285
286	This is the selection tool. It can be used to select rectangular areas and
287	operate on that area in various ways:
288
289	=over 4
290
291	=item copy
292
293	This just copies all objects from the selected area into an internal
294	buffer for later paste operations.
295
296	Shortcut-key in map editor: c
297
298	=item paste
299
300	This function pastes the internal buffer into the map, beginning in the
301	top left corner of the selected area. The size of the selection has no
302	relevance to the result: IT always places the whole internal buffer onto
303	the map.
304
305	Shortcut-key in map editor: p
306
307	=item invoke
308
309	This function is a very powerful one. It can apply another tool (such as
310	the place tool) on all spaces of the selected area.
311
312	It can, for example, be used to fill a map with floor tiles or erase
313	everything.
314
315	Shortcut-key in map editor: n
316
317	=back
318
319	Shortcut-key in map editor: s
320
321	=item * Eval
322
323	This is a very special tool which isn't finished yet. It lets you specify
324	a perl snippet that can manipulate the stack.
325
326	Shortcut-key in map editor: l
327
328	=item * Connect
329
330	This tool connects two exits, teleporters or adds the configures
331	connection value to the connectors.
332
333	This tool has 3 modes:
334
335	=over 4
336
337	=item auto
338
339	The auto mode tries to find exits first, and if it found one, it will
340	go into the exit connect mode. If no exit is found but a connectable
341	object is found, it will just add the connection value to the object.
342	(Note: This maybe gets in the way if you want to connect teleporters.
343	The auto mode will only connect teleporters as if they are exits and not
344	touch the connection value).
345
346	=item exit
347
348	This mode wont set any connection values.
349
350	=item connect
351
352	In this mode the connect tool will only set connection values and not
353	try to connect exits.
354
355	=back
356
357	You can either connect two exits to each other, or just point an exit to
358	a certain location on a map.
359
360	After clicking on an exit the first time you will see a string like this
361	in the tool dialoge in the main window: 'src: (12,9) teleporter'.
362	It tells you that you selected a source destination and that the next click will
363	connect the exit with another exit or just let it point where you clicked (if there
364	is no connectable object (in auto mode)).
365
366	To connect two exits, just click at the first and then at the second, and
367	the editor will try to find a path (map path) that fits the crossfire conventions.
368	It will also adjust the (x,y) coords so that the exits point at each other.
369
370	If something doesn't work as expected make sure you saved both maps
371	in a subdirectory of the crossfire map path (which you configured via
372	File->Preferences in the main window).
373
374	If the tile you edited with the connect tool contained a connectable
375	object, the currently configured connect value (set by the spin buttons in
376	the main window) will be set on them.
377
378	Shortcut-key in map editor: t
379
380	=item * Follow Exit
381
382	With this tool you can follow exits and teleporters by opening the target
383	map in a new window (or presents an existing window).
384
385	Shortcut-key in map editor: f
386
387	=back
388
389	=head2 THE STACK VIEW
390
391	This window displays the stack of a map space/coordinate.
392
393	You can swap two objects on the stack and delete a object from the stack
394	by dragging one object over another.
395
396	By clicking on an item on the stack you can make it the currently selected
397	object.
398
399	=head2 THE MAP EDITOR
400
401	This window just displays the map and lets you use the tools. The shortcuts are
402	documented above in the tool descriptions.
403
404	You can pan the map using the middle mouse button and use the tool with
405	the left mouse button.
406
407	There are two modifiers: Holding down the Meta/Alt-key temporarily
408	switches to the pick tool. Holding down the Ctrl-key temporarily switched
409	to the erase tool. Both will use their current settings. To change them,
410	you need to select the tools using the toolbox first.
411
412	There exists a context menu on right click:
413
414	=over 4
415
416	=item Follow
417
418	This context menu entry lets you follow an exit. It will open
419	a new map editor with the map. See Follow Exit tool.
420
421	=item object stack
422
423	Below the context menu entrys that are documented above there is a seperator
424	that seperates the object stack menu items.
425
426	Each object stack item is a submenu that offers following functionality:
427
428	=over 4
429
430	=item Add inventory
431
432	It allows you to add the current arch in the attribute editor
433	(a copy of it) to the object as inventory item.
434
435	=item Find in picker
436
437	This function tries to determine the picker group that this
438	object is in and opens a new picker pointing at that group.
439
440	=back
441
442	=back
443
444	=head2 THE ATTRIBUTE EDITOR
445
446	The attribute editor display the archetype name followed by the object
447	name and the type of the object in parentheses.
448
449	The 'reset to defaults' button erases all changes on the object and resets
450	it's value to the values of the archetype.
451
452	Since there are often many attributes for a given object, they are sorted
453	into different categories/tabs.
454
455	The lore and msg tabs let you edit the text attributes of the object.
456
457	Both field labels and value widgets have tool tips enabled. Tool tips on
458	the labels explain the attribute in more detail. The tool tips on the
459	value widgets show the default value from the archetype.
460
461	On the right side of the attribute editor you will find the inventory, you
462	can drag stuff there or just use the context menu von the pick window (see below)
463	to add inventory.
464
465	=head2 THE PICK WINDOW
466
467	Pick windows are used to quickly pick archetypes from specific categories.
468
469	Left click creates an object from the archetype and makes it the currently
470	selected object for the tools and the attribute editor.
471
472	You can change the attributes of the currently selected object in the
473	attribute editor.
474
475	Right click opens the context menu, where you can add the selected arch as
476	inventory to the object which is currently visible in the attribute editor.
477
478	You can open multiple pick windows.
479
480	=head1 MAP EDITING
481
482	=head2 SHOP PROPERTIES
483
484	There are 5 map properties related to shops that can be present in a map.
485	Any given map may have some, all or none of them (although in the later case,
486	it isn't considered to be a shop).
487
488	=over 4
489
490	=item Shopmin
491
492	This is an integer value. It is the minimum value that the object must have in
493	order to be considered by purchase for a shop. This is not the same as the price
494	offered, which can be substantially below shopmin.
495
496	=item Shopmax
497
498	This is an integer value. It uses value like shopmin does, however it is not a
499	fixed upper limit.
500
501	The value is adjusted downwards if it is in excess of one half of shopmax. The
502	output value is the minimum of shopmax and one half of shopmax plus the square root
503	of one half of shopmax
504
505	Note that the value is only an aspect of the final price, and the actual price offered for an item
506	can be substantially less than shopmax, even when the item's value in in excess of that.
507
508	=item Shoprace
509
510	if the player matches shoprace, this has no effect, if they do not, the price offered
511	is only 80% of what it would otherwise be.
512
513	=item Shopgreed
514
515	This is a multiplier on all prices offered, items brought from the player are done
516	so at a price divided by the greed, items sold to a player are overcharged by a factor of shopgreed.
517
518	=item Shopitems
519
520	This is a semi-colon deliminated list of item types and values.
521	each entry is a name of an item type (from the array in common/item.c)
522	followed by an optional colon then a value in the range -100 to 100.
523	(if this is missing, the default value of 0 is used.
524	This value is a measure of how much items of that type are preffered.
525	Neutrality is represented by 0 (so a theoretical 'general' store would
526	have 0 for everything), a positive preference for certain item types
527	is a positive value, and negative preference for item types is a negative value.
528
529	As a special note, the character * may be used once to set a preference for
530	everything not explicitly listed otherwise (this value would in most cases be negative)
531
532	for example, a typical magic shop might have the string:
533
534	shopitems amulet:25;ring:40;potion:40;book:35;scroll:40;spellbook:40;skillscroll:50;wand:40;*:-50
535
536	and an armour shop might have the string:
537
538	shopitems armour:50;shield:50;helmet:40;cloak:40;boots:40;gloves:40;bracers:50;girdle:50;*:-50
539
540	all possible name values for items are listed in common/item.c, however there are only some
541	that are likely to be used (doors are not sold very often....) this list is not definitive or
542	neccesarily up-to-date, but is a reasonable starting point for constructing a new shop.
