4 # types.xml - This is the definitions-file for all the different #
5 # Deliantra object types and their attributes. #
6 # #
7 # The server code of the Deliantra 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 # 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 # Description of this type.]]> #
28 # </description> #
29 # <use><![CDATA[ #
30 # How to use this type.]]> #
31 # </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 # #

628 <!--
629 The attributes of the default_type get added to all other types by default.
630 Every type can have an 'ignore' element however, which is used to specify
631 default attributes *not* to inherit.
632 -->
633 <default_type>
634 <attribute arch="name" editor="name" type="string">
635 This is the name of the object, displayed to the player.
636 </attribute>
637 <attribute arch="name_pl" editor="plural name" type="string">
638 This is the plural name of the object. A plural name must be set for
639 all items that can be picked up and collected by the player.
640 </attribute>
641 <attribute arch="title" editor="title" type="string">
642 This is the object's title. Once an object is identified the title is
643 attached to the name. Typical titles are "of Mostrai", "of xray vision" etc.
644 </attribute>
645 <attribute arch="face" editor="image" type="string">
646 The image-name defines what image is displayed for this object in-game. Take care if the archetype of the
647 object has an animation! See also the 'animation' attribute.
648 </attribute>
649 <attribute arch="animation" editor="animation" type="string">
650 The animation-name of the object. If you assign custom faces and the archetype
651 defines an animation you can disable the animation of an archetype by setting this
652 field to NONE.
653 </attribute>
654 <attribute arch="tag" editor="tag" type="string">
655 You can tag objects with an identifier. Tagged objects can be found quickly
656 from their tag, which makes them useful to tag exits and refer to those by
657 their name.
658 </attribute>
659 <attribute arch="nrof" editor="number" type="int">
660 This value determines the number of objects in one stack (for example:
661 100 goldcoins =&gt; "number = 100"). You should set this at least to one, for
662 any pickable object - otherwise it won't be mergeable into a stack.
663 </attribute>
664 <attribute arch="weight" editor="weight" type="int">
665 This value defines the object's weight in grams (1000g is 1kg). Objects with
666 zero weight are not pickable for players. Still, set the "non-pickable"-flag
667 for explicitly non-pickable objects (hey, this is opensource.. you
668 never know ;) ).
669 </attribute>
670 <attribute arch="value" editor="value" type="int">
671 Determines the value of the object, in units of silver coins (one
672 platinum coin == 50 silver coins). Value for buying/selling will be
673 further modified by various factors. Hence, testing values in-game is
674 usually inevitable.
675 </attribute>
676 <attribute arch="glow_radius" editor="glow radius" type="int">
677 If &lt;glow radius&gt; is set to a value greater zero, the object
678 appears lit up on dark maps. &lt;glow radius&gt; can be a value
679 between 0 and 4, the higher, the more light does the object emit.
680 </attribute>
681 <attribute arch="material" editor="material" type="bitmask_material">
682 This bitmask-value informs the player of which material(s) the
683 object consists. Material does also affect how likely the object
684 can be destroyed by hazardous spell-effects.
685 </attribute>
686 <attribute arch="no_pick" editor="non-pickable" type="bool">
687 If set, the object cannot be picked up (Neither by players nor monsters).
688 </attribute>
689 <attribute arch="invisible" editor="invisible" type="bool">
690 Generally makes the object invisible. Depending on the object-type,
691 some can be made visible by the show_invisible spell. If in doubt, test it.
692 Putting an invisible object under the floor always prevents it from being
693 shown.
694 </attribute>
695 <attribute arch="blocksview" editor="block view" type="bool">
696 If an item is set to block view, players (and monsters) cannot
697 see byond it unless they cross it or manage to stand ontop.
698 </attribute>
699 <attribute arch="identified" editor="identified" type="bool">
700 If an item is identified, the player has full knowledge about it.
701 </attribute>
702 <attribute arch="unpaid" editor="unpaid" type="bool">
703 An &lt;unpaid&gt; item cannot be used unless a player carried it over
704 a shop mat, paying the demanded price. Setting this flag makes sense
705 only for pickable items inside shops.
706 </attribute>
707 <attribute arch="sound" editor="sound" type="string">
708 The sound this objects makes on a map. Enter either a sound alias from
709 arch/res/sound.conf.res or a path. If you enter &lt;path&gt; in this
710 field it will point to sound/&lt;path&gt;.ext

787 <description><![CDATA[
788 Abilities are to be put in a monster's inventory. They grant monsters the
789 knowledge to cast spells. Spells from abilities are usually magical in
790 nature, thus adding magic attacktype to the spell-damage they produce.
791 <br><br>
792 A particularly nice feature of abilities is that they can hold two
793 spells: One for short range- and one for long range use.
794 \n\n
795 You should know that spellcasting monsters receive abilities via
796 &lt;treasurelist&gt;.]]>
797 </description>
798 <use><![CDATA[
799 If you want to create "customized" spellcasting monsters, you
800 should use abilities (rather than spellbooks/wands or something).
801 The long/short-range spell feature can make boss-monsters more
802 interesting and challenging.
803 <br><br>
804 You should keep in mind that magic abilities allow players
805 to get better resistance. You can turn off the magic part to
806 make the spells more dangerous. However, this really shouldn't
807 be neccessary unless you work on very high level maps.
808 And what fun is a magic resistance cloak when it has no effect?]]>

817 <attribute arch="hp" editor="long range spell" type="nz_spell">
818 The monster will use the specified &lt;long range spell&gt;
819 when the player is at least 6 squares away (from the
820 monster's head).
821
822 Setting a &lt;long range spell&gt; is optional. If unset, the
823 &lt;short range spell&gt; gets used all the time.
824 </attribute>
825 <attribute arch="maxsp" editor="importance" type="int">
826 Sometimes you'll want a monster to use one ability more than others.
827 To achieve this, set the &lt;importance&gt; to a value greater than
828 one. Abilities with this value zero/unset are counted to be of
829 &lt;importance&gt; one.
830
831 Example: A monster with "small fireball" of &lt;importance&gt; 3 and
832 "paralyze" of &lt;importance&gt; 1 will averagely cast three out of four
833 times the "small fireball".
834 </attribute>
835 <attribute arch="attacktype" editor="is magical" true="2" false="0" type="bool_special">
836 This flag specifies whether the ability &lt;is magical&gt; in nature.
837 If enabled, all spells produced by this ability will have magic
838 attacktype added to the usual attacktypes.
839
840 This should always be set for spell-like abilities. "Natural"
841 abilities like a dragon's firebreath are an exception.
842 Note that non-magical abilities are more dangerous because
843 magic resistance does not protect from those.</attribute>

996 The &lt;weapon class&gt; value adds to the overall weapon class of the wielder's

1005 only way to prevent low level players to wear "undeserved" equipment
1006 (like gifts from other players or cheated items).
1007
1008 It is very important to adjust the &lt;item power&gt; value carefully
1009 for every artifact you create! If zero/unset, the Deliantra server will
1010 calculate a provisional value at runtime, but this is never

1968 For dragon players, flesh plays a very special role though: If the
1969 flesh has resistances set, a dragon player has a chance to gain resistance in
1970 those categories. The only constraint to this process is the &lt;flesh level&gt;.
1971 Don't forget that flesh items with resistances have to be balanced
1972 according to map/monster difficulty.]]>

1974 <use><![CDATA[
1975 For dragon players, flesh items can be highly valuable. Note that many

1978 When you add special flesh items to the inventory of a monster, this is
1979 not the case - so you have to set it manually.
1980 <br><br>
1981 Generally adding special flesh-treaties for dragon players is a great thing
1982 to do. Always consider that dragon players might really not be interested

2430 Inventory checkers passively check the players inventory for a
2431 specific object. You can set a connected value that is triggered
2432 either if that object is present or missing (-&gt; "last_sp") when a
2433 player walks over the inv. checker. A valid option is to remove the
2434 matching object (usually not recommended, see "last_heal").
2435 <br><br>
2436 Alternatively, you can set your inv. checker to block all players
2437 that do/don't carry the matching object.
2438 <br><br>

2657 Spellcasting walls pose an interesting alternative to monsters.
2658 Usually they are set to be undestroyable. Thus, while monsters
2659 in a map can be cleared out, the magic walls remain. Low level
2660 characters for example will not be able to pass through their
2661 spell-area, hence they cannot loot a map that a high level character
2662 might have cleared out.
2663 <br><br>
2664 Another point of magic walls is that if the player dies, he has to face
2665 them all again. Magic walls can add a kind of "permanent thrill" to
2666 your maps.
2667 <br><br>
2668 Be careful that your magic walls don't kill the monsters on a map. If
2669 placing monsters, eventually take ones that are immune to the
2670 walls' spell(s).

2672 It is possible to make walls rotate when triggered. But that is so

2835 Monsters play a central role in most maps. Choosing the right
2836 combination of monsters for your map is vital:
2837 <UL>
2838 <LI> Place only monsters of slightly varying (increasing) strength.
2839 It's no fun to play for two hours just to find out the last
2840 monster is unbeatable. Similar, it's not exciting to fight orcs
2841 after passing a room of dragons.<br>
2842 This rule applies only for linear maps (one room after the other),
2843 with treasure at the end. You can sprinkle the treasure around,
2844 or make non-linear maps - That is often more entertaining.
2845 <LI> Places with high level monsters must not be easy to reach.
2846 Balrogs, Dragonmen and the likes should be at the end of a quest,
2847 not at the beginning.
2848 <LI> Don't stick monsters together that tend to kill each other.
2849 Fire- and cold dragons in one room for example is a bad idea.
2850 By weakening and killing each other they are easy prey for players,
2851 not worth the experience they hold.
2852 <LI> Create your own monsters, especially for "boss"-type monsters.
2853 Having stage-bosses guarding treasure is a lot of fun when done right.
2854 Avoid to create monsters with completely non-intuitive abilities:
2855 Don't give ice-spells to firedragons or vice versa. Don't add
2856 draining attack to trolls, etc. Additionally, you should inform the
2857 player before he bumps right into some very special/unusual monster.
2858 <LI> Last but not least: Always keep an eye on the experience your monsters
2859 hold. Design your maps in a way that high experience
2860 is always well-defended. Don't make large rooms full with only one kind
2861 of monster. Keep in mind the different abilities/techniques players
2862 can use.
2863 </UL>
2864 I know it's impossible to make the perfectly balanced map. There's always
2865 some part which is found too easy or too hard for a certain kind of player.
2866 Just give it your best shot. And listen to feedback from players if you
2867 receive some. :-)]]>

3817 <description><![CDATA[
3818 Shooting weapons like bows/crossbows are used to shoot projectiles
3819 (arrows/bolts). Shooting weapons and normal (melee) weapons can be
3820 wielded both at the same time. Like with any other equipment,
3821 stats/bonuses from shooting weapons are directly inherited to the player.
3822 <br><br>
3823 It's very easy to add new pairs of weapons &amp; projectiles.
3824 Just set matching &lt;ammunition class&gt; both for shooting
3825 weapon and projectile.]]>
3826 </description>
3827 <use><![CDATA[
3828 Shooting weapons should not add bonuses in general. There's already
3829 enough "equipment-slots" doing that: swords, rings, amulets, girdles etc.
3830 Shooting weapons should especially not add bonuses to the player
3831 that have nothing to do with schooting. A Wisdom bonus on a bow
3832 is crap for example! A name like "Longbow of great Wisdom" doesn't help
3833 - still crap.]]>
3834 </use>
3835 <attribute arch="race" editor="ammunition class" type="string">
3836 Only projectiles with matching &lt;ammunition class&gt; can be fired
3837 with this weapon. For normal bows set "arrows", for normal
3838 crossbows set "crossbow bolts".
3839
3840 In certain cases, the ammunition class is displayed in the game.
3841 Hence, when you create a new ammunition class, choose an
3842 intuitive name like "missiles", "spirit bolts" - whatever.

3844 <attribute arch="sp" editor="shooting speed" type="int">
3845 After shooting a projectile, the player is frozen for a short
3846 period of time (to prevent shooting arrows machine-gun-like).
3847 The greater &lt;shooting speed&gt;, the shorter this period of time.
3848 1 is minimum (=worst) and 100 is maximum (=best) value.
3849
3850 You shouldn't set &lt;shooting speed&gt; lower than 10. YOU MUST NOT
3851 SET IT TO ZERO! (That would freeze the player for eternety).

3853 <attribute arch="dam" editor="base damage" type="int">
3854 The &lt;base damage&gt; significantly affects the damage done

3857 according to the player's strength is added.

3864 <attribute arch="item_power" editor="item power" type="int">
3865 The &lt;item power&gt; value measures how "powerful" an artifact is.

3868 only way to prevent low level players to wear "undeserved" equipment
3869 (like gifts from other players or cheated items).
3870
3871 It is very important to adjust the &lt;item power&gt; value carefully
3872 for every artifact you create! If zero/unset, the Deliantra server will
3873 calculate a provisional value at runtime, but this is never
3874 going to be an accurate measurement of &lt;item power&gt;.

4030 The purpose of a sign or magic_mouth is to display a certain message to

4032 The player walking onto it (-&gt; magic_mouth), the player pressing &lt;a&gt;pply

4054 Monsters walking over the magic_mouth do not decrease the counter.
4055
4056 Often, you might want to have a message displayed only one time. For example:
4057 The player enters your map and you put a magic_mouth to tell him about the
4058 monsters and how dangerous they look and all. Later, when all the monsters
4059 are killed and the player leaves the map, displaying the same message a

4093 For mapmaking, Skill objects serve two purposes:

4096 exists as an archtype cannot be learned or used by players. When you
4097 want to use skills in your maps, you may need to look up the &lt;skill name&gt;s
4098 of defined skill archtypes, because those strings are used as a reference in
4099 many skill-related objects.
4100 </p><p>
4101 Secondly, in order to enable monsters to use skills, you will need to
4102 copy default skill archtypes into the monsters' inventories.
4103 You can even customize the skills by changing stats. It is not

4376 When the player walks into a teleporter, he is transferred to a

4379 Sometimes teleporters are activated even against the players will.

4385 When creating maps, I guess sooner or later you'll want to have
4386 an invisible teleporter. If using "invisible 1", the teleporter
4387 can still be discovered with the show_invisible spell. And in
4388 some cases you can't place it under the floor to prevent this.
4389 <br><br>
4390 Fortunately, there is a cool trick to make a perfectly invisible
4391 teleporter: You simply add teleporter functionality to the floor
4392 itself. That means: You take the floor arch (e.g. "flagstone"),

4399 path, not beginning with '/' (On the map "/peterm/FireTemple/Fire2"
4400 for example I could use the relative path "Fire1"). Use relative
4401 paths whenever possible! Note that upper/lower case must always be

4749 Wands contain a certain spell. The player can apply (ready) and
4750 fire the wand. After a defined number of casts, the wand is

4752 charging, but usually that isn't worth the cost.]]>

4755 Wands are quite seldomly used. The reason prolly is that they're
4756 generally not cost-efficient. Handing out high-level wands with
4757 powerful special spells isn't a good idea either, because of
4758 the recharge ability.

4794 A weak wall is a breakable spot amidsts a solid wall. Typically

4799 If you want to create hidden rooms, using weak walls is alot
4800 better than completely indiscernible passages in a wall.<br>
4801 Anyways, there can be a lot more to weak walls than just finding
4802 them: Rising their defensive stats, weak walls can become a
4803 serious obstacle. An ice wall might only be torn down by a fire
4804 attack for example. A granite wall for instance might be very
4805 hard to destroy.]]>

4815 against weak walls.
4816 </attribute>
4817 <attribute arch="level" editor="level" type="int">
4818 The &lt;level&gt; of a weak wall works similar to monster levels.

4850 </use>
4851 <attribute arch="attacktype" editor="attacktype" type="bitmask_attacktype">
4852 This number is a bitmask, specifying the weapon's attacktypes.
4853 Attacktypes are: physical, magical, fire, cold.. etc. Most artifact weapons
4854 have no more than one or two attacktypes. Keep in mind that all weapons
4855 can be blessed by the player's diety, thus adding an additional attacktype.
4856
4857 When a player hits a monster with a weapon that has more than one attacktype,
4858 then he will do as much damage as the "best" of his attacktypes does. So,
4859 the more attacktypes you've got, the better your chance to take advantage
4860 of a monster's vulnerabilities. (Btw: Same rule applies for monster vs.
4861 player.). Attacktypes "magic" and "chaos" are somehow exceptions.
4862 </attribute>
4863 <attribute arch="weapontype" editor="weapontype" type="list_weapon_type">
4864 The &lt;weapontype&gt; characterizes the weapon's type of physical
4865 attack. It could best be considered a "subclassification"
4866 of the physical attacktype. For now, this is only used for
4867 attack messages!
4868
4869 You should always set this correctly when creating new
4870 weapons for your maps.
4871 </attribute>
4872 <attribute arch="skill" editor="skill name" type="string">
4873 Matching &lt;skill name&gt; of the skill that is required
4874 to use this weapon.
4875 </attribute>
4876 <attribute arch="dam" editor="damage" type="int">
4877 The damage value is used as base value for how much damage the weapon
4878 does per hit. The actual damage involves more dependencies,
4879 like wielder's level and defender's level. Look at existing weapons
4880 to get a feel for the range of weapon damage values.
4881 </attribute>
4882 <attribute arch="slaying" editor="slaying race" type="string">
4883 Slaying means the weapon does tripple (3x) damage to monsters of the
4884 specified race. If &lt;slaying race&gt; matches an arch name (e.g. "big_dragon"),
4885 only monsters of that archtype are hit with tripple damage.
4886
4887 No god blessings are possible for weapons with a race set in this entry
4888 (That's because god blessings add tripple damage against their own
4889 enemy races). Tripple damage is very effective.
4890 </attribute>
4891 <attribute arch="last_sp" editor="weapon speed" type="int">
4892 The weapon speed determines how often the wielder can swing the weapon
4893 during a certain period of time. The lower the faster, &lt;weapon speed&gt; 1
4894 is best (that is lightning- fast). A typical average value is 8.
4895 Speed and damage should be kept in reasonable relation.
4896 </attribute>
4897 <attribute arch="wc" editor="weapon class" type="int">
4898 The weapon class value adds to the overall weapon class of the wielder's
4899 melee attacks. Weapon class improves the chance of hitting the opponent.
4900 </attribute>
4901 <attribute arch="magic" editor="magic bonus" type="int">
4902 For a weapon, magic bonus works just like weapon class, except that
4903 magic bonus can be improved by the gods or reduced by acid. Hence, it is
4904 less useful than direct weapon class value on a weapon.
4905 </attribute>
4906 <attribute arch="item_power" editor="item power" type="int">
4907 The &lt;item power&gt; value measures how "powerful" an artifact is.
4908 Players will only be able to wear equipment with a certain total
4909 amount of &lt;item power&gt;, depending on their own level. This is the
4910 only way to prevent low level players to wear "undeserved" equipment
4911 (like gifts from other players or cheated items).
4912
4913 It is very important to adjust the &lt;item power&gt; value carefully
4914 for every artifact you create! If zero/unset, the Deliantra server will
4915 calculate a provisional value at runtime, but this is never
4916 going to be an accurate measurement of &lt;item power&gt;.
4917 </attribute>
4918 <attribute arch="damned" editor="damnation" type="bool">
4919 A damned weapon cannot be unwielded unless
4920 the curse is removed. Removing damnations is
4921 a tick harder than removing curses.

4923 <attribute arch="cursed" editor="curse" type="bool">
4924 A cursed weapon cannot be unwielded unless
4925 the curse is removed.
4926 </attribute>
4927 <attribute arch="lifesave" editor="save life" type="bool">
4928 An item with this flag enabled will save the players life
4929 for one time: When the player is wearing this item and his
4930 health points reach zero, the item disappears, replenishing
4931 half of the player's health.
4932
4933 An item with &lt;save life&gt; should not have
4934 any decent additional bonuses!

4936 <attribute arch="unique" editor="unique item" type="bool">

4946 <attribute arch="luck" editor="luck bonus" type="int">
4947 With positive luck bonus, the player is more likely to
4948 succeed in all sorts of things (spellcasting, praying,...).
4949 Unless the &lt;luck bonus&gt; is very high, the effect will be
4950 barely visible in-game. Luck bonus on one piece of equipment
4951 should never exceed 3, and such bonus should not be too
4952 frequently available.

4954 <attribute arch="hp" editor="health regen." type="int">
4955 Positive &lt;health regen.&gt; bonus speeds up the

4962 <attribute arch="grace" editor="grace regen." type="int">
4963 Positive &lt;grace regen.&gt; bonus speeds up the
4964 player's grace regeneration. Negative values slow it down.
4965 Since grace can be regenerated rather easy with praying,
4966 additional &lt;grace regen.&gt; bonus should be VERY RARE!!
4967 </attribute>
4968 <attribute arch="food" editor="food bonus" type="int">
4969 Positive &lt;food bonus&gt; slows down the player's digestion,
4970 thus he consumes less food. Negative values speed it up.
4971
4972 Note that food is consumed not only for "being alive", but
4973 also for healing and mana-regeneration.
4974 &lt;food bonus&gt; only affects the amount of food consumed
4975 for "being alive". Hence, even with high &lt;food bonus&gt;,
4976 during a fight a player can run out of food quickly.

4978 <attribute arch="xrays" editor="xray vision" type="bool">
4979 Xray vision allows the player to see through obstacles
4980 in a two-square-wide radius. This is extremely helpful and
4981 desirable, so don't give it away for cheap on equipment.
4982 </attribute>
4983 <attribute arch="stealth" editor="stealth" type="bool">
4984 Stealth allows the player to move silently.
4985 This comes to effect if a player turns himself
4986 invisible and tries to sneak around monsters.
4987 (At least that was the idea behind it)
4988 </attribute>
4989 <attribute arch="reflect_spell" editor="reflect spells" type="bool">
4990 If a player is wearing any piece of equipment with

4993 This works only about 90% of all times, to
