TFS 0.X A question about monster flags

[forumek]

Can I create a monster without any flags?
if so, all this flags will be treated as set to "0" ?

<flags>
    <flag summonable="1"/>
    <flag attackable="1"/>
    <flag hostile="1"/>
    <flag illusionable="1"/>
    <flag convinceable="1"/>
    <flag pushable="1"/>
    <flag canpushitems="1"/>
    <flag canpushcreatures="1"/>
    <flag targetdistance="1"/>
    <flag staticattack="90"/>
    <flag hidehealth="1" />
    <flag lightcolor="17" />
    <flag lightlevel="1" />
    <flag runonhealth="5"/>
</flags>

It is not clear for me, let's take for example <flag canpushitems="1"/> with "1" monster can push items, with "0" can't but what if I don't add this flag at all?

if you don't define them, they will use the default values from monster.h file, for example in tfs 1.x:

forgottenserver/src/monsters.h at 3612ae8fa10dfee3430bfc692b9d34621ff0282f · otland/forgottenserver

A free and open-source MMORPG server emulator written in C++ - otland/forgottenserver

github.com

you need to check your 0.x source to see the default values

I have another question, what's the difference between skill and attack like here in demon example:

<attack name="melee" interval="2000" skill="70" attack="130"/>

because in cipsoft 7.4 virgin files demon has only attack value Attack = 80
so what "skill" value does in tfs 0.4?

Any undefined flag falls back to the default. I believe the Monster reference in my sig shows the default values you'd be dealing with. It is the result of me just collapsing the source code and dependencies of the monster loader into a chart by hand, from code somewhere nearby r3884. Or here. Fresh from the old repo:

    canPushItems     = false;
    canPushCreatures = false;
    isSummonable     = false;
    isIllusionable   = false;
    isConvinceable   = false;
    isLureable       = false;
    isWalkable       = false;
    hideName         = false;
    hideHealth       = false;
    pushable     = true;
    isAttackable = true;
    isHostile    = true;

so what "skill" value does in tfs 0.4?

The best docs are always the source code.
