Mod info: item_kinds1.txt

[Effidian]

In an attempt to break up the Attackable Peasants thread, I decided it might be good to make a post for each file that has been interpreted. That thread has information on hex editing and examples of how to change items, so if you have trouble read through it. (Page 6 & 7 have the editing info.)

Eventually, this stuff might go into its own forum.

0.632 changed the format of item_kinds1.txt as well as moved it to Mods/Native. Here is the new format:

base cost is the item's base cost. This is affected by trade and maybe faction status. In a new game, the vendors in Zender sell items for about 160% of this value.

data3 bits:
0-7: head armor
8-15: body armor (or horse)
16-23: leg armor
24-31: weight in quarter units (divide by 4 to get weight)
32-39: requirement

The requirement is as follows:
bow = power draw
thrown = power throw
weapon = strength
horse = riding

data4 bits:
if weapon:
0-7: swing damage
8-15: other damage (thrust, bow, arrow, thrown)
16-17: swing damage type
18-19: damage type (thrust, thrown, bow)
20-27: reach / 2
28-35: speed
36-43: velocity (for ranged weapons)
44-51: quantity (food, ammo, etc)

damage types are 0 = cutting, 1 = piercing, 2 = blunt.

if shield then durability

if horse:
8-15: speed
16-23: maneuver
24-31: charge

modifiers is a bit mask that defines the applicable modifiers. Each bit designates one of the 24 modifiers that can be applied to the item. So for example, arrows have a value of 8388616 or 0x800008 which has bit 4 and 24 on. If you look in item_modifiers.txt the 4th modifier is "bent" and the 24th is "large_bag".

 

[Esposito]

Do you think that the chance of an item appearing at a vendor, or as a reward from a battle, would be determined in the item_kinds file?

Somebody needs to write a tutorial on bitmasks.
There was some info in the other thread but I am not sure I got it right.

 

[Effidian]

A quick Google turned up the following. There are many more, but these look promising.

Nevermind I think I got it now.
We need a compilation on all information we got. I'd prefer that over a new thread for each file.

Can you change your topic name?

I don't "think" so. I think the chance of an item having a modifier is in item_modifiers.txt, but the chance of an item showing up in a shop I'm not sure where that is. The only number it could be is the data2 value and I just don't think it is in there. Also, some shops have different items (mainly talking about goods here), so it may be dictated by something that defines the particular shop.

The Attackable Peasants thread was kind of a compilation and I thought it was becoming unweildy. Especially since some of the data changed in the new version. I thought a thread per file would be better.

Change the topic name to what?

 

[Gnu]

Good job as always Effidian!

The thread name is fine, but I think a modding forum would be nice.

 

[n00854180t]

Any idea where it specifies which texture to use?

 

[Effidian]

Could it be the second string? "heavy_lance" in the above example.

 

[n00854180t]

Could be it has which texture to use in the mesh file. If we could figure that out, we could add new armor and weapon textures(since I've figured out how to add new textures in the materials.rsf).

 

[Ancientwanker]

I think bit 1 of data 1 controls the attack animation/method. I put a polearm value there for a knife and the knife did the couched attack raise/lower thing while I was riding. Not 100% but it seems likely.

I missed this post before. Do you mean the bit I've marked with "melee weapon (?)" ?

 

[Effidian]

Here is something cool I found today. The "Quantity" field for crossbows is set to 1. If you set it to 2, it actually loads 2 bolts so you can fire twice without reloading between shots. I only tested with two, but it probably will work with higher values.

 

[Lost-Lamb]

DARK ELVEN REPEATER CROSSBOWS!!

Sorry

 

[Simetrical]

You mean it actually shoots two bolts at once, or it becomes semiautomatic?

-Simetrical

 

[Lost-Lamb]

my guess is Semi-Auto

 

[Effidian]

Right semi-auto

 

[Ancientwanker]

Well, the mafia mod guy is all set now.

All he needs is some mod tools to make a gun version of the xbow and some very tiny models for bolts. Some new sound effects and a way to explain why the guy has to bend over every 30 rounds to reload. Maybe hes got a hernia or keeps his ammo in his shoe.

 

[Orion]

how can I change the quantity of arrows you get per quiver? Say I wanted... 50 arrows per quiver, instead of 24? How could I change the damage around on things? I wanna learn some of this stuff
