192
193=item FLAG_IS_A_TEMPLATE (internal use)
194
195This flag is set on the inventory of generators like CREATORs and CONVERTERs,
196or other objects that have the flags FLAG_GENERATOR and FLAG_CONTENT_ON_GEN set.
197
198=item FLAG_AUTO_APPLY
199
200This flag has currently only meaning for the TREASURE type, see below.
201
202=item FLAG_ACTIVATE_ON_PUSH
203
204This flag has only meaning for objects that can be linked together
205with the 'connected' field and controls wether the object should
206be activated when the connection is 'pushed' or it is 'released'.
207
208This flag is by default on.
209
210=item FLAG_ACTIVATE_ON_RELEASE
211
212This flag has only meaning for objects that can be linked together
213with the 'connected' field and controls wether the object should
214be activated when the connection is 'pushed' or it is 'released'.
215
216This flag is by default on.
217
218=item FLAG_NO_STEAL
219
220When this flag is set this object can't be stolen. The flag will be
221resetted once the object is placed on a map.
222
223When this flag is set on a monster it can defent attempts of stealing
224(but in this context the flag is only used internally).
225
226=item FLAG_NO_SKILL_IDENT
227
228This flag is mostly used internal and prevents unidentified objects
229(objects which don't have FLAG_IDENTIFIED set) being identified by
230skills.
231
232This flag is used to mark objects to never being identified by a skill
233once a player failed to identify an object. So that multiple tries
234of identifying aren't more effective than one.
235
236=item FLAG_REFLECTING
237
238This flag is used by spell effects, LIGHTNING, THROWN_OBJ and ARROW
239to indicate whether this object reflects off walls.
240
241=item FLAG_REFL_SPELL
242
243This flag indicates whether something reflects spells, like spell reflecting
244amuletts.

152 249
153The beginning of the headers of the following subsection 250The beginning of the headers of the following subsection
154are the server internal names for the objects types, see include/define.h. 251are the server internal names for the objects types, see include/define.h.
155The numeric values are maybe not 100% accurate, as the code is a changing 252
156target, please consult include/define.h in doubt :-) 253=head3 TRANSPORT - type 2 - Player transports
254
255This type is implemented by the transport extension and has currently no special
256attributes that affect it.
257
258=head3 ROD - type 3 - Rods that fire spells
259
260Rods contain spells and can be fired by a player.
261
262=over 4
263
264=item level <number>
265
266This attribute is used for calculating the spell level that can be fired
267with this rod, it's also the maximum level of the spell that can be fired.
268The level of the spell that is being fired depends mostly on
269the 'use magic item' skill level of the player and 1/10 of the level of the
270rod is added as bonus.
271
272=item hp <number>
273
274The amount of spellpoints this rod has left.
275
276=item maxhp <number>
277
278The maximum amount of spellpoints this rod has.
279
280=item skill <skill name>
281
282This field determines which skill you need to apply this object.
283
284=back
285
286=head3 TREASURE - type 4 - Treasures
287
288This type of objects are for random treasure generation in maps.
289If this object is applied by a player it will replace itself with it's
290inventory. If it is automatically applied
291generate a treasure and replace itself with the generated treasure.
292
293Chests are also of this type, their treasures are generated by
294the auto apply code on map instantiation.
295
296=over 4
297
298=item hp <number>
299
300The number of treasures to generate.
301
302=item exp <level>
303
304If FLAG_AUTO_APPLY is not set the exp field has no further meaning
305and the difficulty for the treasurecode only depends on the maps difficulty,
306otherwise the exp field has the following meaning:
307
308If this field is not 0 it is passed as the difficulty
309to the treasure generation code to determine how good, how much
310worth a treasure is or what bonuses it is given by the treasure code.
311
312If this field is not set or 0 the difficulty of the map is passed to the treasure
313generation code.
314
315=item randomitems <treasurelist>
316
317The treasurelist to use to generate the treasure which is put in the
318treasure objects inventory.
319
320=back
321
322=head3 POTION - type 5 - Potions for drinking and other nastynesses
323
324These objects contain a spell and will emit it on apply, which most
325of the time has the meaning of 'drinking'.
326
327If no resistancy field, stat field or attacktype is set and no spell
328is put in the potion by the sp field or the randomitems the
329potion will become an artifact and the artifact code decides which kind
330of potion will be generated.
331
332If the potion has FLAG_CURSED or FLAG_DAMNED set the usage of this potion
333will yield an explosion and hurt the player.
334
335=over 4
336
337=item Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, Cha, Pow <number>
338
339These stat fields determine how many stat points the player gets
340when he applies this potion.
341
342If FLAG_CURSED or FLAG_DAMNED is set the player will loose that many stat points.
343
344=item sp <number>
345
346If this field is set and the randomitems field is not set
347the field is interpreted as spell number, please look the right
348number up in common/loader.C.
349
350If this field is set the randomitems field will be unset by the
351map loading code.
352
353=item attacktype <attacktype>
354
355This field has some special meaning in potions, currently the
356bits for AT_DEPLETE and AT_GODPOWER control whethere this is a
357restoration potion or improvement potion.
358See include/attackinc.h for the bits of these types.
359
360If AT_DEPLETE is set the player will be restored and the ARCH_DEPLETION
361will be removed from him. If the potion has FLAG_CURSED or FLAG_DAMNED
362set the player will be drained a random stat by inserting an ARCH_DEPLETION
363into him.
364
365If AT_GODPOWER is enabled the player will gain +1 maxvalue in his hp, sp or grace stat.
366When the potion has FLAG_CURSED or FLAG_DAMNED set he will loose one in one of these stats.
367
368=item resist_<resistancy> <number>
369
370If this stat is set and no spell is in the potion the potion
371will create a force that give the player this specific resistancy.
372The forces type will be changed to POTION_EFFECT (see POTION_EFFECT type below)
373and the potion will last 10 times longer than the default force archetype
374FORCE_NAME (at the moment of this writing spell/force.arc).
375
376=item randomitems <treasurelist>
377
378The inventory/spell of the potion will be created by calling the treasure code
379with the treasurelist specified here. (I guess it's highly undefined what
380happens if there is not a spell in the potions inventory).
381
382=item on_use_yield <archetype>
383
384When this object is applied an instance of <archetype> will be created.
385
386=item subtypes <potion subtype>
387
388see include/spells.h for possible potion subtypes, there are currently 4:
389
390=over 4
391
392=item POT_SPELL
393
394Unused, default behaiour of a potion.
395
396=item POT_DUST
397
398This potion can be thrown to cast the spell that it has in it's inventory,
399the behaviour is not defined if there is not a spell in the inventory and the
400server will log an error.
401
402=item POT_FIGURINE
403
404Unused, default behaiour of a potion.
405
406=item POT_BALM

410=back
411
412=back
413
414=head3 FOOD - type 6 - Eatable stuff
415
416This is for objects that are representing general eatables like
417beef or bread.
418
419The main difference between FOOD, FLESH and DRINK is that they
420give different messages.
421
422The specialty of FLESH is that it inherits the resistancies of the
423monsters it was generated in and will let dragons raise their resistancies
424with that. If the monster has the POISON attacktype the FLESH
425will change into POISON.
426
427If a player runs low on food he will grab for FOOD, DRINK and POISON
428and if he doesn't find any of that he will start eating FLESH.
429
430=over 4
431
432=item title <string>
433
434If the food has a title or is cursed it is considered 'special', which means that the
435fields Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, Pow, resist_<resistancy>, hp and sp
436are interpreted and have further effects on the player.
437
438The higher the food field is the longer the improvement of the player lasts
439(except for hp and sp).
440
441=item food <number>
442
443This is the amount of food points the player gets when he eats this.
444
445=item on_use_yield <archetype>
446
447When this object is applied an instance of <archetype> will be created.
448
449=back
450
451=head3 POISON - type 7 - Poisonous stuff
452
453This type is for objects that can poison the player when drinking.
454When applied it will hit the attacked with AT_POISON and will create
455a POISONING object in the one who was hit.
456
457=over 4
458
459=item level <number>
460
461This field affects the propability of poisoning. The higher the level difference
462between the one who is hit and the poision the mose propable it is the attacked
463one will be poisoned.
464
465=item slaying <race>
466
467On poison this field has the usual meaning of 'slaying', when the
468ones race matches the slaying field the damage done by the poison
469is multiplied by 3.
470
471=item hp <number>
472
473This is the amount of damage the player will receive from applying this. The
474attacktype AT_POISON will be used to hit the player and the damage will
475determine the strenght, duration and depletion of stats of the poisoning. The
476created POISONING object which is being placed in the one who was attacked will
477get the damage from this field (which is maybe adjusted by slaying or the
478resistancies).
479
480=item food <number>
481
4821/4 of <number> will be drained from the players food.
483
484=item on_use_yield <archetype>
485
486When this object is applied an instance of <archetype> will be created.
487
488=back
489
490=head3 BOOK - type 8 - Readable books
491
492This type is basically for representing text books in the game.
493
494Reading a book also identifys it (if FLAG_NO_SKILL_IDENT is not set).
495
496=over 4
497
498=item msg <text>
499
500This is the contents of the book. When this field is unset
501at treasure generation a random text will be inserted.
502
503=item skill <skill name>
504
505The skill required to read this book. (The most resonable
506skill would be literacy).
507
508=item exp <number>
509
510The experience points the player get for reading this book.
511
512=item subtype <readable subtype>
513
514This field determines the type of the readable.
515Please see common/readable.C in the readable_message_types table.
516
517=back
518
519=head3 CLOCK - type 9 - Clocks
520
521This type of objects just display the time when being applied.
522
523=head3 LIGHTNING - type 12 - Lightnings
524
525This is a spell effect of a moving bolt. It moves straigt forward
526through the map until something blocks it.
527If FLAG_REFLECTING is set it even reflects on walls.
528
529FLAG_IS_TURNABLE should be set on these objects.
530
531=over 4
532
533=item attacktype <attacktype>
534
535The attacktype with which it hits the objects on the map.

538
539The damage this bolt inflicts when it hits objects on the map.
540
541=item Dex <number>
542
543This is the fork percentage, it is reduced by 10 per fork.
544And the damage is halved on each fork.
545
546=item Con <number>
547
548This value is a percentage of which the forking lightning
549is deflected to the left. This value should be mostly used internally.
550
551=item duration <number>
552
553The duration the bolt stays on a map cell. This field is decreased each time
554the object is processed (see the meaning of speed and speed_left fields in
555the object general description).

710=head3 DRINK - type 54 - Drinkable stuff
711
712See FOOD description.
713
714=head3 CHECK_INV - type 64 - Inventory checkers
715
716This object checks whether the player has a specific item in his
717inventory when he moves above the inventory checker. If the player has
718the item (or not, which can be controlled with a flag) a connection will be triggered.
719
720If you set move_block you can deny players and monsters to reach the space where
721the inventory checker is on, see 'move_block' description below.
722
723The conditions specified by hp, slaying and race are concationated with OR.
724So matching one of those conditions is enough.
725
726=over 4
727
728=item move_block <move type bitmask>
729
730If you set this field to block a movetype the move code will block any moves
731onto the space with the inventory checker, IF the moving object doesn't have
732(or has - if last_sp = 0) the item that the checker is searching for.
733
734=item last_sp (0|1)
735
736If last_sp is 1 'having' the item that is being checked for will
737activate the connection or make the space with the checker non-blocking.
738If last_sp is 0 'not having' the item will activate the connection
739or make the space with the checker non-blocking.
740
741=item last_heal (0|1)
742
743If last_heal is 1 the matching item will be removed if the inventory checker
744activates a connection and finds the item in the inventory.
745
746(A inventory checker that blocks a space won't remove anything from inventories)
747
748=item hp <number>
749
750If this field is not 0 the inventory checker will search for an object
751with the type id <number>.
752
753=item slaying <string>
754
755If this field is set the inventory checker will search for an object that
756has the same string in the slaying field (for example a key string of a key).
757
758=item race <string>
759
760If this field is set the inventory checker will search for an object which
761has the archetype name that matches <string>.
762
763=item connected <connection id>
764
765This is the connection that will be activated.
766

768
769=head3 FLESH - type 72 - Organs and body parts
770
771See FOOD description.
772
773=head3 HOLE - type 94 - Holes
774
775Holes are holes in the ground where objects can fall through. When the hole
776opens and/or is completly open all objects above it fall through (more
777precisely: if their head is above the hole).
778
779Trapdoors can only transfer the one who falls through to other coordinates
780on the B<same> map.
781
782=over 4
783
784=item maxsp (0|1)
785
786This field negates the state of the connection: When maxsp is 1 the pit will
787open/close when the connection is deactivated. Otherwise it will open/close
788when the connection is activated. This field only has effect when the
789connection is triggered. So if you put a closed hole on a map, and the
790connection is deactivated, and maxsp is 1 the hole will remain closed until the
791connection was triggered once.
792
793=item connected <connection id>
794
795This is the connection id, which lets the hole opening or closing when
796activated. The flags FLAG_ACTIVATE_ON_PUSH and FLAG_ACTIVATE_ON_RELEASE control
797at which connection state the object is activated.
798
799For example: if FLAG_ACTIVATE_ON_RELEASE is set to 0 the hole won't react when
800the connection is released.
801
802=item wc <number> (internal)
803
804This is an internal flag. If it is greater than 0 it means that the hole is not
805yet fully open. More preciesly: this field is the animation-step and if it is
806set to the 'closed' step of the animation the hole is closed and if it is on

819=head3 POISONING - type 105 - The poisoning of players and monsters
820
821This type is doing the actual damage to the ones who were attacked
822via AT_POISON (or drank POISON).
823
824The duration is handled via the FLAG_IS_USED_UP mechanism (please look
825there for details).

827=over 4

829=item dam <number>
830
831Each time the poisoning is processed (which is determined by the speed and speed_left
832fields, see the general object attributes above) it hits the player with
833<number> damage and the AT_INTERNAL attacktype (means: it will simply
834hit the player with no strings attached).
835
836=item food <number>
837
838Just a note: The posion is removed when food == 1 and not when
839the whole duration is up, because the POISONING code has to remove
840the poison-effects from the player before the FLAG_IS_USED_UP mechanism
841deletes the POISONING object.

298=head3 FORCE - type 114 - Forces 845=head3 FORCE - type 114 - Forces
299 846
847Forces are a very 'thin' type. They don't have much behaviour other than
848disappearing after a time and/or affecting the player if they are in his
849inventory.
850
300Note: Forces only take effect on the player if they have set FLAG_APPLIED. 851Forces only take effect on the player if they have set FLAG_APPLIED.

302Whether the duration field is processed or not a tick is controlled via the 853Whether the duration field is processed or not a tick is controlled via the
303speed and speed_left field. Look above at the generic description of these 854speed and speed_left field. Look above at the generic description of these
304fields. 855fields.
305 856
857NOTE: Setting FLAG_IS_USED_UP on an force will also consider the 'food' field
858like stated above in the FLAG_IS_USED_UP description. BUT: If the food field reaches
8590 before duration and FLAG_APPLIED is set, the force will last for 'duration'.
860If the FLAG_APPLIED is not set the force is removed when food reaches 0.
861Generally this means: FLAG_IS_USED_UP doesn't have good semantics on forces.

870If it reaches 0 the force/object is destroyed.
871
872This field can have this meaning for B<any> object if that object has
873FLAG_IS_USED_UP and FLAG_APPLIED set. See the description of FLAG_IS_USED_UP
874what happens then.

878=head3 POTION_EFFECT - type 115 - Potion effects (resistancies)
879
880This object is generated by the POTION code when the potion is a resistance
881giving potion. It has mainly the same behaviour as a FORCE.
882
883The specialty of the potion effect is that the resistancy it gives is absolute,
884so if you drin a resistancy potion of fire+60 you will get 60% resistancy to
885fire.
886
887Multiple potion effects only give you the maximum of their resistancy.
