4 root 1.3 # types.xml - This is the definitions-file for all the different #
5 root 1.32 # Deliantra object types and their attributes. #
6 root 1.1 # #
7 root 1.32 # The server code of the Deliantra game is always changing and #
8 root 1.1 # evolving. From time to time, object-attributes change in purpose, #
9     # or new ones are created. #
10     # Therefore, it is important that an Editor is flexible and #
11     # easy to "upgrade" to handle such new features. That's why the #
12     # CFJavaEditor reads the type-definitions from this xml file. #
13     # #
14     # New types must be inserted maintaining the alphabetical order. #
15     # #
16     # about the 'type' elements: #
17     # #
18     # <type number="15" name="Type Name"> #
19     # <import_type name="Type Name" /> import attributes of this type #
20     # <required> #
21     # list of required attributes to identifying this type #
22     # </required> #
23     # <ignore> #
24     # list of attributes not to import from default_type #
25     # </ignore> #
26     # <description><![CDATA[ #
27 root 1.39 # Description of this type.]]> #
28 root 1.1 # </description> #
29     # <use><![CDATA[ #
30 root 1.39 # How to use this type.]]> #
31 root 1.1 # </use> #
32     # ... attributes ... #
33     # </type> #
34     # #
35     # about the 'attribute' type: <attribute ... type="XXX" > #
36     # #
37     # bool - This attribute can only be set to '1' or '0' #
38     # int - This attribute contains a decimal number #
39     # float - This attr. contains a floating point number #
40     # string - This attribute contains a string #
41     # text - This attribute contains a text ("text" can have #
42     # linebreaks, unlike "string") #
43     # fixed - This attribute is always set to a fixed 'value' #
44     # (There is no user-input for this attribute) #
45     # spell - This attribute contains a spell. The mapmaker can #
46     # choose spells from a combo box. #
47     # nz_spell - works just like 'spell', except that the #
48     # spell-value zero is always interpreted as <none>, #
49     # never as "magic bullet" #
50     # bool_special - Like bool, but with customized true/false values #
51     # treasurelist - CF treasure list (see "treasures" file) #
52     # list_LISTNAME - list, must be defined as a <list> element #
53     # bitmask_BITMASKNAME - bitmask, must be defined as a <bitmask> #
54     # element #
55     # #

798     Abilities are to be put in a monster's inventory. They grant monsters the
799     knowledge to cast spells. Spells from abilities are usually magical in
800     nature, thus adding magic attacktype to the spell-damage they produce.
801     <br><br>
802     A particularly nice feature of abilities is that they can hold two
803 root 1.39 spells: One for short range - and one for long range use.
804 root 1.1 \n\n
805     You should know that spellcasting monsters receive abilities via
806 root 1.37 &lt;treasurelist&gt;.]]>
807 root 1.1 </description>
808     <use><![CDATA[
809     If you want to create "customized" spellcasting monsters, you
810     should use abilities (rather than spellbooks/wands or something).
811     The long/short-range spell feature can make boss-monsters more
812     interesting and challenging.
813     <br><br>
814     You should keep in mind that magic abilities allow players
815     to get better resistance. You can turn off the magic part to
816     make the spells more dangerous. However, this really shouldn't
817     be neccessary unless you work on very high level maps.

2090     Just like with food, the player can fill his stomache and gain a
2091     little health by eating flesh-objects. <br>
2092     For dragon players, flesh plays a very special role though: If the

2094 root 1.12 those categories. The only constraint to this process is the &lt;flesh level&gt;.

2099     For dragon players, flesh items can be highly valuable. Note that many
2100     standard monsters carry flesh items from their &lt;treasurelist&gt;.
2101     These flesh items "inherit" resistances and level from the monster they belong to.
2102     When you add special flesh items to the inventory of a monster, this is
2103     not the case - so you have to set it manually.
2104     <br><br>
2105     Generally adding special flesh-treaties for dragon players is a great thing
2106     to do. Always consider that dragon players might really not be interested
2107     in that special piece of weapon or armour, so don't let the dragon-fellows miss

2960     Monsters play a central role in most maps. Choosing the right
2961     combination of monsters for your map is vital:
2962     <UL>
2963     <LI> Place only monsters of slightly varying (increasing) strength.
2964     It's no fun to play for two hours just to find out the last
2965     monster is unbeatable. Similar, it's not exciting to fight orcs
2966     after passing a room of dragons.<br>
2967     This rule applies only for linear maps (one room after the other),
2968     with treasure at the end. You can sprinkle the treasure around,
2969 root 1.3 or make non-linear maps - That is often more entertaining.
2970 root 1.1 <LI> Places with high level monsters must not be easy to reach.
2971     Balrogs, Dragonmen and the likes should be at the end of a quest,
2972 root 1.3 not at the beginning.
2973 root 1.1 <LI> Don't stick monsters together that tend to kill each other.
2974     Fire- and cold dragons in one room for example is a bad idea.
2975     By weakening and killing each other they are easy prey for players,
2976     not worth the experience they hold.
2977     <LI> Create your own monsters, especially for "boss"-type monsters.
2978     Having stage-bosses guarding treasure is a lot of fun when done right.
2979     Avoid to create monsters with completely non-intuitive abilities:
2980     Don't give ice-spells to firedragons or vice versa. Don't add
2981     draining attack to trolls, etc. Additionally, you should inform the
2982     player before he bumps right into some very special/unusual monster.
2983     <LI> Last but not least: Always keep an eye on the experience your monsters
2984     hold. Design your maps in a way that high experience
2985     is always well-defended. Don't make large rooms full with only one kind
2986     of monster. Keep in mind the different abilities/techniques players
2987     can use.
2988     </UL>
2989     I know it's impossible to make the perfectly balanced map. There's always
2990     some part which is found too easy or too hard for a certain kind of player.
2991     Just give it your best shot. And listen to feedback from players if you
2992 root 1.37 receive some. :-)]]>

4269     For mapmaking, Skill objects serve two purposes:
4270     <p>First, the predefined skill archtypes (in the 'skills' directory)

4274     of defined skill archtypes, because those strings are used as a reference in
4275     many skill-related objects.

4277     Secondly, in order to enable monsters to use skills, you will need to
4278     copy default skill archtypes into the monsters' inventories.
4279     You can even customize the skills by changing stats. It is not

4552     When the player walks into a teleporter, he is transferred to a
4553     different location. The main difference to the object-type exit
4554     is the possibility to have teleporters connected to levers/buttons/etc.
4555     Sometimes teleporters are activated even against the players will.

4561     When creating maps, I guess sooner or later you'll want to have
4562     an invisible teleporter. If using "invisible 1", the teleporter
4563     can still be discovered with the show_invisible spell. And in
4564     some cases you can't place it under the floor to prevent this.
4565     <br><br>
4566     Fortunately, there is a cool trick to make a perfectly invisible
4567     teleporter: You simply add teleporter functionality to the floor
4568     itself. That means: You take the floor arch (e.g. "flagstone"),

4978     Anyways, there can be a lot more to weak walls than just finding
4979     them: Rising their defensive stats, weak walls can become a
4980     serious obstacle. An ice wall might only be torn down by a fire
