How to make/edit items.
~~First of all, this is a tutorial that I made a very long time ago, I just edited it by updating it and making it easier to understand.~~
To make or edit items, you must first open \data\items\items.xml with notepad or wordpad.
If you want to make customs items with custom sprites, this is not the tutorial that you're looking for.
So, first, I'll teach you the basics;
See these lines?
I will explain them now, and some other lines you may also use:
That's the item ID and the item name.
The article is the article that the item's description will have.
The item name is the name the item has/will have and the ID, is the ID of the item, you should leave the item ID as it is, unless you're adding new items (meaning you should also edit items.otb, I'll leave this for another tutorial)
A description is the message that follows the "It weights XX.XXoz" message.
A description is not neccesary.
This is how much the item will weight.
Also; weight values are written in decimal-ish ways. E.G:
If you want an item to weight 10.20 ounces, the value should be 1020. (The maximum amount of decimals is two)
This is how much defense the weapon will have. Not much to explain here. Just change the value to how much defense you want the item to have. This is usually used with weapons or shields.
This one is how much the weapon will attack. Just change the value to how much attack you want the item to have. This is usually used with weapons.
This is what weaponType the weapon is going to have.
The possible weapon types are these: distance, club, axe, sword, wand, rod, ammunition and fist. This is usually used with weapons and ammunition (arrows, bolts, and so forth).
The slotType's valor points what the item's slot is (where it is going to be placed).
The possible slotTypes are these: head, body, legs, feet, backpack, two-handed, necklace, ring, ammo, and hand.
-Few other attributes-
The first one, if added, is how much the item would heal you for.
The second one, if added, too, is how much mana the item would give to you.
This is how often the item will heal/replenish your health/mana. It is expressed in miliseconds.
This is if how much the item would last for before it vanishes or turns into something else.
It is expressed in miliseconds.
This is if you want to show the duration of the item to the player, after identification, if it has duration.
This is how many charges the item will have before it vanishes, or turns into something else.
This is the spell that would be used to create the item.
This is pretty much used only with runes.
Instead of the rune having no spell name, the rune will say this.
E.G:
You add a new rune, called 'Great Explanation', and to make the rune you must say 'Explanitus' and have a blank rune in either hand.
Thing is; the rune wont say which words you would need to say to cast the rune, like an Ultimate Healing Rune would say Adura Vita, a Great Fire Ball Rune would say Adori Gran Flam, etc...
Now that you've understand how they work, here are all the attribute keys that you can use, at least for now:
If you need further help, even with any of the functions, feel free to ask me. You can also search for them in the items.xml file, to understand how they work.
Also, remember to change the values.
