4 # types.xml - This is the definitions-file for all the different #
5 # Crossfire object types and their attributes. #
6 # #
7 # The server code of the Crossfire game is always changing and #
8 # 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 # If you encounter bugs, typos or missing entries in the LATEST #
15 # VERSION of this file - Don't hesitate to improve it, contact me #
16 # and eventually send the improved file to me: <red.blaze@gmx.net>. #
17 # I will put it into the "official version" of the CFJavaEditor #
18 # and all fellow Crossfire-Map-Makers can benefit from your work! #
19 # #
20 # IMPORTANT: Make a backup copy of this file before you start #
21 # to modify it! #
22 # #
23 # New types must be inserted maintaining the alphabetical order. #
24 # #
25 # about the 'type' elements: #
26 # #
27 # <type number="15" name="Type Name"> #
28 # <import_type name="Type Name" /> import attributes of this type #
29 # <required> #
30 # list of required attributes to identifying this type #
31 # </required> #
32 # <ignore> #
33 # list of attributes not to import from default_type #
34 # </ignore> #
35 # <description><![CDATA[ #
36 # Description of this type. ]]> #
37 # </description> #
38 # <use><![CDATA[ #
39 # How to use this type. ]]> #
40 # </use> #
41 # ... attributes ... #
42 # </type> #
43 # #
44 # about the 'attribute' type: <attribute ... type="XXX" > #
45 # #
46 # bool - This attribute can only be set to '1' or '0' #
47 # int - This attribute contains a decimal number #
48 # float - This attr. contains a floating point number #
49 # string - This attribute contains a string #
50 # text - This attribute contains a text ("text" can have #
51 # linebreaks, unlike "string") #
52 # fixed - This attribute is always set to a fixed 'value' #
53 # (There is no user-input for this attribute) #
54 # spell - This attribute contains a spell. The mapmaker can #
55 # choose spells from a combo box. #
56 # nz_spell - works just like 'spell', except that the #
57 # spell-value zero is always interpreted as <none>, #
58 # never as "magic bullet" #
59 # bool_special - Like bool, but with customized true/false values #
60 # treasurelist - CF treasure list (see "treasures" file) #
61 # list_LISTNAME - list, must be defined as a <list> element #
62 # bitmask_BITMASKNAME - bitmask, must be defined as a <bitmask> #
63 # element #
64 # #

441 <!--###################### default attributes ######################-->
442
443 <!--
444 The attributes of the default_type get added to all other types by default.
445 Every type can have an 'ignore' element however, which is used to specify
446 default attributes *not* to inherit.
447 -->
448 <default_type>
449 <attribute arch="name" editor="name" type="string">
450 This is the name of the object, displayed to the player.
451 </attribute>
452 <attribute arch="name_pl" editor="plural name" type="string">
453 This is the plural name of the object. A plural name must be set for
454 all items that can be picked up and collected by the player.
455 </attribute>
456 <attribute arch="title" editor="title" type="string">
457 This is the object's title. Once an object is identified the title is
458 attached to the name. Typical titles are "of Mostrai", "of xray vision" etc.
459 </attribute>
460 <attribute arch="face" editor="image" type="string">
461 The image-name defines what image is displayed for this object in-game.
462 </attribute>
463 <attribute arch="nrof" editor="number" type="int">
464 This value determines the number of objects in one stack (for example:
465 100 goldcoins =&gt; "number = 100"). You should set this at least to one, for
466 any pickable object - otherwise it won't be mergeable into a stack.
467 </attribute>
468 <attribute arch="weight" editor="weight" type="int">
469 This value defines the object's weight in grams (1000g is 1kg). Objects with
470 zero weight are not pickable for players. Still, set the "non-pickable"-flag
471 for explicitly non-pickable objects (hey, this is opensource.. you
472 never know ;) ).
473 </attribute>
474 <attribute arch="value" editor="value" type="int">
475 Determines the value of the object, in units of silver coins (one
476 platinum coin == 50 silver coins). Value for buying/selling will be
477 further modified by various factors. Hence, testing values in-game is
478 usually inevitable.
479 </attribute>
480 <attribute arch="glow_radius" editor="glow radius" type="int">
481 If &lt;glow radius&gt; is set to a value greater zero, the object
482 appears lit up on dark maps. &lt;glow radius&gt; can be a value
483 between 0 and 4, the higher, the more light does the object emit.
484 </attribute>
485 <attribute arch="material" editor="material" type="bitmask_material">
486 This bitmask-value informs the player of which material(s) the
487 object consists. Material does also affect how likely the object
488 can be destroyed by hazardous spell-effects.
489 </attribute>
490 <attribute arch="no_pick" editor="non-pickable" type="bool">
491 If set, the object cannot be picked up (Neither by players nor monsters).
492 </attribute>
493 <attribute arch="invisible" editor="invisible" type="bool">
494 Generally makes the object invisible. Depending on the object-type,
495 some can be made visible by the show_invisible spell. If in doubt, test it.
496 Putting an invisible object under the floor always prevents it from being
497 shown.
498 </attribute>
499 <attribute arch="blocksview" editor="block view" type="bool">
500 If an item is set to block view, players (and monsters) cannot

581 <description><![CDATA[
582 Abilities are to be put in a monster's inventory. They grant monsters the
583 knowledge to cast spells. Spells from abilities are usually magical in
584 nature, thus adding magic attacktype to the spell-damage they produce.
585 <br><br>
586 A particularly nice feature of abilities is that they can hold two
587 spells: One for short range- and one for long range use.
588 \n\n
589 You should know that spellcasting monsters receive abilities via
590 &lt;treasurelist&gt;. ]]>
591 </description>
592 <use><![CDATA[
593 If you want to create "customized" spellcasting monsters, you
594 should use abilities (rather than spellbooks/wands or something).
595 The long/short-range spell feature can make boss-monsters more
596 interesting and challenging.
597 <br><br>
598 You should keep in mind that magic abilities allow players
599 to get better resistance. You can turn off the magic part to
600 make the spells more dangerous. However, this really shouldn't
601 be neccessary unless you work on very high level maps.
602 And what fun is a magic resistance cloak when it has no effect? ]]>

622 one. Abilities with this value zero/unset are counted to be of
623 &lt;importance&gt; one.
624
625 Example: A monster with "small fireball" of &lt;importance&gt; 3 and

634 This should always be set for spell-like abilities. "Natural"
635 abilities like a dragon's firebreath are an exception.

2475 Inventory checkers passively check the players inventory for a
2476 specific object. You can set a connected value that is triggered

2478 player walks over the inv. checker. A valid option is to remove the
2479 matching object (usually not recommended, see "last_heal").

2481 Alternatively, you can set your inv. checker to block all players
2482 that do/don't carry the matching object.

2702 Spellcasting walls pose an interesting alternative to monsters.
2703 Usually they are set to be undestroyable. Thus, while monsters
2704 in a map can be cleared out, the magic walls remain. Low level
2705 characters for example will not be able to pass through their
2706 spell-area, hence they cannot loot a map that a high level character
2707 might have cleared out.
2708 <br><br>
2709 Another point of magic walls is that if the player dies, he has to face
2710 them all again. Magic walls can add a kind of "permanent thrill" to
2711 your maps.

2713 Be careful that your magic walls don't kill the monsters on a map. If
2714 placing monsters, eventually take ones that are immune to the

2923 Monsters play a central role in most maps. Choosing the right
2924 combination of monsters for your map is vital:
2925 <UL>
2926 <LI> Place only monsters of slightly varying (increasing) strength.
2927 It's no fun to play for two hours just to find out the last
2928 monster is unbeatable. Similar, it's not exciting to fight orcs
2929 after passing a room of dragons.<br>
2930 This rule applies only for linear maps (one room after the other),
2931 with treasure at the end. You can sprinkle the treasure around,
2932 or make non-linear maps - That is often more entertaining.
2933 <LI> Places with high level monsters must not be easy to reach.
2934 Balrogs, Dragonmen and the likes should be at the end of a quest,
2935 not at the beginning.
2936 <LI> Don't stick monsters together that tend to kill each other.
2937 Fire- and cold dragons in one room for example is a bad idea.
2938 By weakening and killing each other they are easy prey for players,
2939 not worth the experience they hold.
2940 <LI> Create your own monsters, especially for "boss"-type monsters.
2941 Having stage-bosses guarding treasure is a lot of fun when done right.
2942 Avoid to create monsters with completely non-intuitive abilities:
2943 Don't give ice-spells to firedragons or vice versa. Don't add
2944 draining attack to trolls, etc. Additionally, you should inform the
2945 player before he bumps right into some very special/unusual monster.
2946 <LI> Last but not least: Always keep an eye on the experience your monsters
2947 hold. Design your maps in a way that high experience
2948 is always well-defended. Don't make large rooms full with only one kind
2949 of monster. Keep in mind the different abilities/techniques players
2950 can use.
2951 </UL>
2952 I know it's impossible to make the perfectly balanced map. There's always
2953 some part which is found too easy or too hard for a certain kind of player.
2954 Just give it your best shot. And listen to feedback from players if you
2955 receive some. :-) ]]>

3124 To make a real tough spellcasting monster, the rate of spellpoint
3125 regeneration is most important. If your monster is still not casting

3341 Mood floors are absolutely cool for NPC interaction. To make an
3342 unaggressive monster/NPC attack, put a creator with "other_arch
3343 furious_floor" under it. Connect the creator to a magic_ear, so the
3344 player speaks a keyword like "stupid sucker" - and the monster attacks.
3345 <br><br>
3346 To turn an NPC into a pet, put a charm_floor under it and connect
3347 it directly to a magic_ear. Then the player speaks a keyword like
3348 "help me" - and the NPC joins him as pet.
3349 <br><br>

3413 movers, the more players needed. Hence, don't make a treasure
3414 room that is surrounded by movers instead of solid walls/gates.

3416 Btw, it does not make a difference putting movers above or
3417 below the floor. Moreover, movers that are set to be invisible
3418 cannot be discovered with the show_invisible spell.

4344 of defined skill archtypes, because those strings are used as a reference in
4345 many skill-related objects.
4346 </p><p>
4347 Secondly, in order to enable monsters to use skills, you will need to
4348 copy default skill archtypes into the monsters' inventories.

4695 The duration between two activates depends on the given value.
4696 Default in the teleporter arch is &lt;activation speed&gt; 0.1.

4698 VERY IMPORTANT: If you want to have your teleporter activated via

5142 Attacktypes are: physical, magical, fire, cold.. etc. Most artifact weapons
5143 have no more than one or two attacktypes. Keep in mind that all weapons
5144 can be blessed by the player's diety, thus adding an additional attacktype.
5145
5146 When a player hits a monster with a weapon that has more than one attacktype,
5147 then he will do as much damage as the "best" of his attacktypes does. So,
5148 the more attacktypes you've got, the better your chance to take advantage
5149 of a monster's vulnerabilities. (Btw: Same rule applies for monster vs.
5150 player.). Attacktypes "magic" and "chaos" are somehow exceptions.
5151 </attribute>
5152 <attribute arch="weapontype" editor="weapontype" type="list_weapon_type">
5153 The &lt;weapontype&gt; characterizes the weapon's type of physical
5154 attack. It could best be considered a "subclassification"
5155 of the physical attacktype. For now, this is only used for
5156 attack messages!
5157
5158 You should always set this correctly when creating new
5159 weapons for your maps.
5160 </attribute>
5161 <attribute arch="skill" editor="skill name" type="string">
5162 Matching &lt;skill name&gt; of the skill that is required
5163 to use this weapon.
5164 </attribute>
5165 <attribute arch="dam" editor="damage" type="int">
5166 The damage value is used as base value for how much damage the weapon
5167 does per hit. The actual damage involves more dependencies,
5168 like wielder's level and defender's level. Look at existing weapons
5169 to get a feel for the range of weapon damage values.
5170 </attribute>
5171 <attribute arch="slaying" editor="slaying race" type="string">
5172 Slaying means the weapon does tripple (3x) damage to monsters of the
5173 specified race. If &lt;slaying race&gt; matches an arch name (e.g. "big_dragon"),
5174 only monsters of that archtype are hit with tripple damage.
5175
5176 No god blessings are possible for weapons with a race set in this entry
5177 (That's because god blessings add tripple damage against their own
5178 enemy races). Tripple damage is very effective.
5179 </attribute>
5180 <attribute arch="last_sp" editor="weapon speed" type="int">
5181 The weapon speed determines how often the wielder can swing the weapon
5182 during a certain period of time. The lower the faster, &lt;weapon speed&gt; 1
5183 is best (that is lightning- fast). A typical average value is 8.
5184 Speed and damage should be kept in reasonable relation.
5185 </attribute>
5186 <attribute arch="wc" editor="weapon class" type="int">
5187 The weapon class value adds to the overall weapon class of the wielder's
5188 melee attacks. Weapon class improves the chance of hitting the opponent.
5189 </attribute>
5190 <attribute arch="magic" editor="magic bonus" type="int">
5191 For a weapon, magic bonus works just like weapon class, except that
5192 magic bonus can be improved by the gods or reduced by acid. Hence, it is
5193 less useful than direct weapon class value on a weapon.
5194 </attribute>
5195 <attribute arch="item_power" editor="item power" type="int">
5196 The &lt;item power&gt; value measures how "powerful" an artifact is.
5197 Players will only be able to wear equipment with a certain total
5198 amount of &lt;item power&gt;, depending on their own level. This is the
5199 only way to prevent low level players to wear "undeserved" equipment
5200 (like gifts from other players or cheated items).
5201
5202 It is very important to adjust the &lt;item power&gt; value carefully
5203 for every artifact you create! If zero/unset, the CF server will
5204 calculate a provisional value at runtime, but this is never
5205 going to be an accurate measurement of &lt;item power&gt;.
5206 </attribute>
5207 <attribute arch="damned" editor="damnation" type="bool">
5208 A damned weapon cannot be unwielded unless
5209 the curse is removed. Removing damnations is
5210 a tick harder than removing curses.
5211 </attribute>
5212 <attribute arch="cursed" editor="curse" type="bool">
5213 A cursed weapon cannot be unwielded unless
5214 the curse is removed.
5215 </attribute>
5216 <attribute arch="lifesave" editor="save life" type="bool">
5217 An item with this flag enabled will save the players life
5218 for one time: When the player is wearing this item and his
5219 health points reach zero, the item disappears, replenishing
5220 half of the player's health.
5221
5222 An item with &lt;save life&gt; should not have
5223 any decent additional bonuses!

5393 also for healing and mana-regeneration.
5394 &lt;food bonus&gt; only affects the amount of food consumed
