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 (eg. SP_BOLT), 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.

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.

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.

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 (DEPRECATED, see SPELL_EFFECT subtype SP_BOLT)
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 move_type <movetype>
534
535This field affects the move type with which the lightning moves through
536the map and which map cells will reflect or block it.
537
538=item attacktype <attacktype>
539
540The attacktype with which it hits the objects on the map.
541
542=item dam <number>
543
544The damage this bolt inflicts when it hits objects on the map.
545
546=item Dex <number>
547
548This is the fork percentage, it is reduced by 10 per fork.
549And the damage is halved on each fork.
550
551=item Con <number>
552
553This value is a percentage of which the forking lightning
554is deflected to the left. This value should be mostly used internally.
555
556=item duration <number>
557
558The duration the bolt stays on a map cell. This field is decreased each time
559the object is processed (see the meaning of speed and speed_left fields in
560the object general description).
561
562=item range <number>
563
564This is the range of the bolt, each space it advances this field is decreased.

841=head3 POISONING - type 105 - The poisoning of players and monsters
842
843This type is doing the actual damage to the ones who were attacked
844via AT_POISON (or drank POISON).
845
846The duration is handled via the FLAG_IS_USED_UP mechanism (please look
847there for details).
848
849=over 4
850
851=item dam <number>
852
853Each time the poisoning is processed (which is determined by the speed and speed_left
854fields, see the general object attributes above) it hits the player with
855<number> damage and the AT_INTERNAL attacktype (means: it will simply
856hit the player with no strings attached).
857
858=item food <number>
859
860Just a note: The posion is removed when food == 1 and not when
861the whole duration is up, because the POISONING code has to remove
862the poison-effects from the player before the FLAG_IS_USED_UP mechanism
863deletes the POISONING object.

620fields. 877fields.
621 878
879NOTE: Setting FLAG_IS_USED_UP on an force will also consider the 'food' field
880like stated above in the FLAG_IS_USED_UP description. BUT: If the food field reaches
8810 before duration and FLAG_APPLIED is set, the force will last for 'duration'.
882If the FLAG_APPLIED is not set the force is removed when food reaches 0.
883Generally this means: FLAG_IS_USED_UP doesn't have good semantics on forces.
