Attributes

Attribute	Field	Description
actual quality	obj::item_condition	This is the real quality status of item - showing how much it is used up. The quality value represents a percent value affecting the item's stats. Lower quality than 100% means effects like protection/damage etc are reduced.
align	obj::align	X align of the object on the map.
alpha	obj::alpha	Alpha value of the object.
anim speed	obj::anim_speed	How fast to play this animation.
animation	obj::animation_id	The animation-name defines what animation is displayed for this object in-game. Note that a set animation will overrule the face.
armour class	liv::ac	This value defines the amount of armour class bonus for wearing this item. <Armour class> lessens the chance of being hit. Higher values are better. It should usually be set only for armour-like equipment.
attuned paths	obj::path_attuned	Click on the <attuned paths> button to select spellpaths. The player will get attuned to the specified spellpaths while wearing this item.
block view	FLAG_BLOCKSVIEW	If an item is set to block view, players (and monsters) cannot see beyond it unless they cross it or manage to stand on top of it.
cursed	FLAG_CURSED	The item is cursed. This object can't be removed when wielded or worn (without uncursing it). Remove curse will remove this flag.
damned	FLAG_DAMNED	Stronger form of curse. Item can't be removed when wielded or worn. Remove damnation will remove this flag.
denied paths	obj::path_denied	Click on the <denied paths> button to select spellpaths. The specified spellpaths will be denied to the player while wearing this item.
description	obj::msg	This text describes the item's "story". Every decent artifact should have such a description.
direction	obj::direction	The object's direction.
direction based drawing	obj::draw_direction	If enabled, the object will be shown depending on its direction and player's position. Usually used by wall decoration so the decoration doesn't appear from both sides of the wall.
food bonus	liv::food	Positive <food bonus> slows down the player's digestion, thus he consumes less food. Negative values speed it up. Note that food is consumed not only for "being alive", but also for healing and mana-regeneration. <food bonus> only affects the amount of food consumed for "being alive". Hence, even with high <food bonus>, during a fight a player can run out of food quickly.
give reflect missiles	FLAG_REFL_MISSILE	If a player is wearing any piece of equipment with the ability to <reflect missiles>, all kinds of projectiles (e.g. arrows, bolts, boulders) will bounce off him. This works only about 90% of all times, to avoid players being completely immune to certain types of attacks.
give reflect spells	FLAG_REFL_SPELL	If a player is wearing any piece of equipment with the ability to <reflect spells>, all kinds of spell bullets and beams will bounce off him. This works only about 90% of all times, to avoid players being completely immune to certain types of attacks. This is a very powerful ability and it shouldn't be handed out cheaply!
gives infravision	FLAG_SEE_IN_DARK	A player with the ability of <infravision (see in darkness)> can see better (but not perfectly) in darkness. Living objects will be shown in red. For high-level monsters, this flag is a "should-have".
gives xray vision	FLAG_XRAYS	X-ray vision allows the player to see through obstacles in a two-square-wide radius. This is extremely helpful and desirable, so don't give it away for cheap on equipment.
glow radius	obj::glow_radius	If <glow radius> is set to a value greater than zero, the object appears lit up on dark maps. <glow radius> can be a value between 0 and 4, the higher, the more light does the object emit.
god-given item	FLAG_STARTEQUIP	A god-given item vanishes as soon as the player drops it to the ground.
grace bonus	liv::maxgrace	Positive <grace bonus> increases the hit points. Negative decreases them (decrease can't reduce the total grace of the wearer below 1).
grace regen.	liv::grace	Positive <grace regen.> bonus speeds up the player's grace regeneration. Negative values slow it down.
health bonus	liv::maxhp	Positive <health bonus> increases the hit points. Negative decreases them (decrease can't reduce the total hp of the wearer below 1).
health regen.	liv::hp	Positive <health regen.> bonus speeds up the player's healing process. Negative values slow it down.
height	obj::z	Adjusts Y position of the object as it appears on the map.
identified	FLAG_IDENTIFIED	If an item is identified, the player has full knowledge about it.
image	obj::face	The image name defines what image is displayed for this object in-game.
indestructible	FLAG_INDESTRUCTIBLE	This item can't be damaged in any way (this includes special magic and also attacks).
inv. system object	FLAG_SYS_OBJECT	Marks an object as system object. System objects are ALWAYS invisible and hidden from the players. System objects are put in layer 0.
invisible	FLAG_IS_INVISIBLE	Generally makes the object invisible. Invisible objects will be shown if the player has "see invisible" (from an item). To hide objects totally from detection, use "sys_object".
is animated	FLAG_ANIMATE	If set, the object is animated and animation is used. Note: Some special objects will use an animation NOT as animation but as frame list. Examples are buttons (which frames are changed by the object status of the button). IS_TURNABLE will enable direction turning for some object types. These flags are all system related. Be VERY careful when changing them.
is applied	FLAG_APPLIED	If you put this item into the inventory of a monster, and you want the monster to use/wear the item, you must set <is applied>. Enabling this flag doesn't make any sense if the item is NOT in a monster's inventory.
is turnable	FLAG_IS_TURNABLE	System flag. Object can be turned into directions.
layer	obj::layer	This is the map layer the object will put in. The selected layer will affect where and how this object is shown on client side. Layer 0 is reserved for sys_object type objects and will NEVER be shown on client side. Layer 1 is for floor objects and layer 2 for floor masks. Layer 3 and 4 are for items on the ground. Layer 5 is for walls, layer 6 is reserved for players and layer 7 is for spell effects and high flying/visible objects like arrows.
level required in	obj::item_skill	This attribute specifies in which skill category the player must meet the <required level> in order to wear the item. It is meaningless when <required level> is zero/unset. For example: <required level> = 15, <level required in> = physical means the player cannot wear the item unless he is equal or greater than level 15 in the physical skill category.
levitate	FLAG_FLYING	As soon as the player applies a piece of equipment with <levitate> set, the player will start to float in the air.
magic bonus	obj::magic	<Magic bonus> works just like ac, except that it can be improved by "scrolls of Enchant Armour" or reduced by acid. It is less useful than direct armour-class bonus on the bracers.
magical	FLAG_IS_MAGICAL	If set, this object counts as "magical". Detect magic or identify will show this flag and the player will see a small blue M in the client's inventory part.
make ethereal	FLAG_MAKE_ETHEREAL	When applied the user gets ethereal. He can still be transparently seen. Grants the ability to move through walls and doors which have the PASS_THRU flag set (like ghosts and other non physical monsters).
make invisible	FLAG_MAKE_INVISIBLE	When applied the user gets invisible. He can't be seen by players or monsters unless they have "see invisible".
mana bonus	liv::maxsp	Positive <mana bonus> increases the mana points. Negative decreases them (decrease can't reduce the total mana of the wearer below 1).
mana regen.	liv::sp	Positive <mana regen.> bonus speeds up the player's mana regeneration. Negative values slow it down.
material	obj::material_real	The material defines the exact material of which the object consists. It is much more specific than <material class>, however only one material can be selected, not multiple. <material> is not required to be set, it can be left 'undefined'.
material class	obj::material	This bitmask-value informs the player of which basic material(s) the object consists. Material class does also affect how likely the object can be destroyed by hazardous spell-effects, like firestorm.
max. quality %	obj::item_quality	Every item has a natural material quality, ranging from 0 to 100. This is a percent factor, which affects the base stats of the item. However, <max. quality> does not represent the actual state of the item but the best <actual quality> value this item can ever have. Basic quality is 80%. If the item is made of cheap material, the value may be lower. If made of very fine material it may be 100%.
name	obj::name	This is the name of the object, displayed to the player.
no prayers	FLAG_NO_CLERIC	If enabled, it is impossible for players to use prayers on that spot.
no spells	FLAG_NO_MAGIC	If enabled, it is impossible for players to use spells on that spot.
no teleport	FLAG_NO_TELEPORT	Marks an object as no teleport object. A no teleport object can't be teleported by teleporter except if the object is inside the inventory of another object which can be teleported.
non-pickable	FLAG_NO_PICK	If set, the object cannot be picked up (neither by players nor monsters).
number	obj::nrof	This value determines the number of objects in one stack (for example: 100 goldcoins => "number = 100"). You should set this at least to one, for any pickable object - otherwise it won't be mergeable into a stack.
one drop	FLAG_ONE_DROP	If this flag is set for an item inside monster's quest_container with the quest being quest item type, the player will only be able to get this item once.
permanent cursed	FLAG_PERM_CURSED	The item is permanently cursed. If this flag is set, applying or unapplying it will set "cursed 1" again. This flag can't be removed by remove curse.
permanent damned	FLAG_PERM_DAMNED	The item is permanently damned. If this flag is set, applying or unapplying it will set "damned 1" again. This flag can't be removed by remove damnation.
player only	FLAG_PLAYER_ONLY	If set, only players can enter the tile the object with this flag is on.
repelled paths	obj::path_repelled	Click on the <repelled paths> button to select spellpaths. The player will get attuned to the specified spellpaths while wearing this item.
required level	obj::item_level	If <required level> is set to a value greater than zero, players cannot wear this item unless they meet this level in the skill category specified by <level required in>. For example: <required level> = 15, <level required in> = physical means the player cannot wear the item unless he is equal or greater than level 15 in the physical skill category.
save life	FLAG_LIFESAVE	An item with this flag enabled will save the player's life once: When the player is wearing this item and his health points reach zero, the item disappears, replenishing player's HP and bringing him back to his savebed. An item with <save life> should not have any decent additional bonuses!
see invisible	FLAG_SEE_INVISIBLE	When applied the user can see invisible objects.
speed bonus	liv::exp	Divide by ten to get the player's speed bonus from wearing this item.
stackable	FLAG_CAN_STACK	If set, the item can be stacked. Careful, don't use on rings or other applyable items, it will lead to side effects. Missiles are designed to be used as stacks for example.
start speed	obj::speed_left	When an active object (with 'speed' being non-zero) is put on a map, this value is used as counter. Every 'tick', 'speed' (if negative, value is turned positive before) is added to this value - if it is bigger than 0 the object 'will do something' and this counter is decreased with -1.0. By default a normal object will be put on the map with start speed 0. It 'will do something' with the next coming 'tick'. Setting this value to -1.0 will put it on map but wait one full 'lifetime' round until it does something. A 'fire object' should be put on map with start speed 0 - it should try to burn something in the moment it comes in the game. A bomb for example should be put with speed -1.0 on the map - it will stay then on map until the bomb becomes active - it explodes. The 'lifetime' round is determinated by speed. A speed of 1.0 will give a 'lifetime' round of 1 tick - a speed of 0.01 100 ticks. Special case: A negative speed value will add to start speed a random value between 0.0 to 0.9 . So, a speed of -0.1 with a start speed of -1.0 will result in speed 0.1 and start speed between -1.0 and -0.1. This is useful to let a row of same objects act in different tick ranges.
stealth	FLAG_STEALTH	Stealth allows the player to move stealthily, thus reducing the visibility range of monsters nearby by twice of their noram visibility range.
sub type	obj::sub_type1	This important value is used to define "sub types" for objects of the same object type. Examples are weapons, which are all from type WEAPON but can be different sub types like slash, cleave, two-handed, polearms and so on. This value goes to the client too. Warning: Not all objects have a sub type and changing it without care can corrupt server AND/OR the clients. Normally this is not a subject to change outside arch definition.
support terrain	obj::terrain_type	The bearer of this item can move in every terrain that is set by <support terrain>. Such abilities like "water walking", "fire walking" etc are almost priceless as they open access to an entire new plane of the Atrinik world. Artifacts with <support terrain> attributes are VERY SPECIAL and they must be well-balanced!
title	obj::title	This is the object's title. Once an object is identified the title is attached to the name. Typical titles are "of Yordan", "of xray vision" etc.
unique item	FLAG_UNIQUE	Unique items exist only one time on a server. If the item is taken, lost or destroyed - it's gone for good.
unpaid	FLAG_UNPAID	An <unpaid> item cannot be used unless the player carried it over a shop mat, paying the demanded price. Setting this flag makes sense only for items inside shops.
value	obj::value	Change an object's value.
weapon class	liv::wc	The <weapon class> value adds to the overall weapon class of the wielder's melee attacks. Weapon class improves the chance of hitting the opponent. Weapon class is the "counterpiece" of <armour class>. It should usually be set only for weapon-like items. Higher values are better.
weight	obj::weight	This value defines the object's weight in gram (1000g is 1kg). Objects with zero weight are not pickable for players. Still, set the "non-pickable" flag for explicitly non-pickable objects.
zoom	obj::zoom	How much to zoom the object on the map.
