12=head2 About the notation and terms
13
14The term 'archetype' stands for a collection of fields.
15The term 'object' stands for an archetype instance.
16The term 'field' is used for an object fields and archetype fields.
17
18Field names will be displayed like this: I<fieldname>

13 25
14Field denotes an attribute of an archetype. 26Archetypes are 'templates' of objects. If an object is derived
27from an archetype the object fields will be set to the corresponding
28fields in the archetype.
29
30When a map is instanciated (loaded), the 'object' description on the
31map are considered patches of the archetype.
32
33This document does explain the behaviour of the objects and the meaning of
34their fields in the server engine, which are derived from archetypes.
35
15This is an example of an archetype: 36This is an example of an archetype:

34 55
35This archetype has the name 'button_trigger' and the objects that 56The first B<field> is I<name>: 'button_trigger', which basically means that
36inherit from this archetype have the name 'button'. 57instances (objects) that are created/derived from this archetype have the
58name 'button' (which means that the field I<name> of the object will be set
59to the same value as the archetypes field I<name>).
37 60
38The next field 'type' decides the main behaviour of this archetype. 61The next field I<type> decides the behaviour of objects derived from this archetype.
39For a comprehensive list of types see include/define.h. For this case 62For a comprehensive list of types see include/define.h. For this case

521
522This is for objects that are representing general eatables like
523beef or bread.
524
525The main difference between B<FOOD>, B<FLESH> and B<DRINK> is that they
526give different messages.
527
528The specialty of B<FLESH> is that it inherits the resistancies of the
529monsters it was generated in and will let dragons raise their resistancies
530with that. If the monster has the B<POISON> attacktype the B<FLESH>
531will change into B<POISON>.
532
533If a player runs low on food he will grab for B<FOOD>, B<DRINK> and B<POISON>

675=head3 B<ARROW> - type 13 - Arrows
676
677This is the type for objects that represent projectiles like arrows.
678The movement of B<THROWN_OBJ>s behave similar to this type.
679
680Flying arrows are stopped either when they hit something blocking
681(I<move_block>) or something which is alive.
682If it hits something that is alive, which doesn't have FLAG_REFL_MISSILE
683set, it will inflict damage. If FLAG_REFL_MISSILE is set it will inflict
684damage with a small chance which is affected by the I<level> field of the arrow.
685
686If FLAG_REFLECTING is set on the arrow it will bounce off everything
687that is not alive and blocks it's movement.
688
689When an arrow is being shot it's I<dam>, I<wc>, I<attacktype>, I<slaying>
690fields will be saved in the I<sp>, I<hp>, I<grace> and I<spellarg> fields of
691the object, to restore them once the arrow has been stopped.
692
693=over 4
694
695=item I<dam> <number>
696
697The amount of damage that is being done to the victim that gets hit.
698This field is recomputed when the arrow is fired and will consist
699of the sum of a damage bonus (see description of the B<BOW> type),
700the arrows I<dam> field, the bows I<dam> field, the bows I<magic> field
701and the arrows I<magic> field.
702
703=item I<wc> <number>
704
705The weapon class of the arrow, which has effect on the propability of hitting.
706
707It is recomputed when the arrow is being fired by this formula:
708
709 wc = 20 - bow->magic - arrow->magic - (skill->level or shooter->level)
710 - dex_bonus - thaco_bonus - arrow->stats.wc - bow->stats.wc + wc_mod
711
712When the arrow is not being shot by an player dex_bonus and thaco_bonus and the
713level is not added.
714
715wc_mod is dependend on the fire mode of the bow. For a more detailed
716explanation of dex_bonus, thaco_bonus and wc_mod please consult the code.
717
718=item I<magic> <number>
719
720This field is added to the damage of the arrow when it is shot and
721will also improve it's I<speed> by 1/5 of it's value.

727
728=item I<level> <number> (interally used)
729
730The level of the arrow, this affects the propability of piercing FLAG_REFL_MISSILE,
731see above in the B<ARROW> description.
732
733The I<level> is set when the arrow is fired to either the skill level or the
734shooters level.
735
736=item I<speed> <number> (internal)
737
738This field shouldn't be set directly in the archetype, the arrow will get it's
739I<speed> from the bow. This fields value has to be at least 0.5 or otherwise the
740arrow will be stopped immediatly.
741
742On fireing the I<speed> of the arrow is computed of 1/5 of the
743sum of the damage bonus (see BOW), bow I<magic> and arrow I<magic>. After that 1/7
744of the bows I<dam> field is added to the I<speed> of the arrow.
745
746The minimum I<speed> of an arrow is 1.0.
747
748While flying the arrows I<speed> is decreased by 0.05 each time it's moved.
749
750If the I<speed> is above 10.0 it goes straight through the creature it hits and
751it's I<speed> is reduced by 1. If the I<speed> is lower or equal 10.0 the arrow is
752stopped and either sticked into the victim (see I<weight> field description) or
753put on it's map square (if it didn't break, see description of the I<food> field).
754
755=item I<weight> <number>
756
757This field is the weight of the arrow, if I<weight> is below or equal 5000 (5 kg)
758the arrow will stick in the victim it hits. Otherwise it will fall to the ground.
759

762The breaking percentage. 100 (%) means: breaks on usage for sure.
763
764=item I<inventory> (internal)
765
766If the flying/moving object has something in it's inventory and it stops, it
767will be replaced with it's inventory. Otherwise it will be handled as usual,
768which means: it will be calculated whether the arrow breaks and it will be
769reset for reuse.
770
771=item I<slaying> <string>
772
773When the bow that fires this arrow has it's I<slaying> field set it is copied
774to the arrows I<slaying> field. Otherwise the arrows I<slaying> field remains.
775
776=item I<move_type> <movetype> (internally used)

784=item I<race> <string>
785
786The I<race> field is a unique key that assigns arrows, bows and quivers. When
787shooting an arrow the bows I<race> is used to search for arrows (which have the
788same I<race> as the bow) in the players inventory and will recursively search in
789the containers (which are applied and have the same I<race> as the bow and the arrow).

1065A type for any object that has no special behaviour.

1067=head3 B<LAMP> - type 82 - A lamp
1068
1069This object represents a lamp, that can be carried and switched
1070on and off and has a certain amount of fuel in it.
1071
1072A lamp consists of two archetypes: the 'on' archetype and the 'off' archetype.
1073Each of them should point at the other one with it's I<other_arch> field.
1074
1075See the I<other_arch> field for the behaviour of a lamp object when it is applied.
1076
1077If this object has FLAG_IS_LIGHTABLE set the lamp can be turned on and off
1078with a B<LIGHTER>, see also the description of FLAG_IS_LIGHTABLE.

1088
1089If FLAG_CHANGING is set the I<speed> field will indicate how fast the
1090lamp burns it's fuel (I<food>).
1091
1092Setting FLAG_CHANGING makes only sense on the archetype which represents
1093the 'on' state of the lamp.
1094
1095See also the description of FLAG_CHANGING.
1096
1097Lamps which have no FLAG_CHANGING set would also make sense and represent
1098lamps that never burn up.

1100=item I<other_arch> <number>
1101
1102This is the field that points to the 'other' archetype which represents the
1103opposite state of the lamp. The newly from I<other_arch> derived object will
1104replace the current object and will get the value of I<food> of the replaced object.
1105
1106Rationale:
1107
1108When the lamp (on) is applied a new object is derived from the archetype
1109in I<other_arch> and the I<food> value is copied to it ('the fuel is
1110transferred'). The new lamp (off) object has to have a I<other_arch> field
1111which points to the archetype from which a lamp (on) can be derived.
