| stage.dat |
<stage_information> id: 0 name: Stage_1 file: data\stage\stage1.dat <stage_information_end> |
Each Stage now have its own dat-file.
To attach Stage in list you need to set it's id, name and location in stage.dat file |
Values:
id - sets order number in menu list name - sets name of stage in menu file - path to your stage *.dat file. Each stage with it's own data. |
| ptype: |
<stage> id: 0 stage_1-1 ptype: 0 bg: 13 <phase> bound: 900 id: 30 hp: 10 <phase_end> <stage_end> |
In stage files may be used "ptype" attribute for choosing do the players need to run to the end of level after substage clear. |
1 - substage will be done automaticaly
0 - players have to run in to the level's end (like in original LF2) |
| bg: |
<stage> id: 0 stage_1-1 ptype: 0 bg: xx <phase> bound: 900 id: 30 hp: 10 <phase_end> <stage_end> |

Managing weapon pieces:
"team" - sets basic team to pieces. If "0" there is no special team setup, If "1" then it takes the team of owner. "piece" - order number of pieces group. From this groups formating a future pieces (up to 25 pieces for each object). "act" - first frame where pieces will be taken."framea" - how much frames will be used for pieces (ex. set "framea: 3" and "act: 100", then you'll get order of 100, 101 and 102 frames - 3 summary) "dvx", "dvy" and "dvz" - flying speed range. (ex. with "dvx: 5" and "dvz: 3" range will be "X" with value from "-5" to "5", and for "Z" will be from "-3" to "3"). "dvy" is defines how high the pieces CAN reach (ex. "dvy: -15" will define a possibility for piece to have "dvy" from "0" to "-15"). The pieces works only with range values. "amount" - how much pieces can appear. |

dx:
dy: dz: |
- |
Moving features dx: dy: dz:
Works the same as dvx: dvy: dvz: Difference: 1) Inertia won't be saved after all 2) "dz:" now moves the object in Z-coord, while "dvz:" just allows the character to move by Z-coord with ^ or v Note: total distance still depends on "wait" |
- |
|
[ITR]
z: |
- |
Shifts ITR by Z-coord:
- adds the Z-shift of ITR, where positive values will move ITR down and negative moves ITR up Also works with "mpoint" |

poison: xyyyzzww |
itr: kind:0 x:3 y:4 w:80 h:76 poison: 13005075 itr_end: |
Poison feature.
X - poison type: X = 0 -> periodicaly makes Damage to HP. Can kill character. X = 1 -> periodicaly makes Damage to HP. Can not kill character. X = 2 -> periodicaly makes Damage to HP in Percentage of Current HP. Can kill character. X = 3 -> periodicaly makes Damage to HP in Percentage of Current HP. Can not kill character. X = 4 -> periodicaly makes Damage to HP in Percentage of Maximum HP. Can kill character. X = 5 -> periodicaly makes Damage to HP in Percentage of Maximum HP. Can not kill character. YYY - how long poison will works ZZ - damage in Real Numbers or Percentage, depends on Poison Type WW - poison chance (0 = 100%) |
About example: poison: 13005075 1 - poison that can't kill the victim 300 = 10 second for poison 50 - amount HP which target will lose every 2 seconds 75 - poisoning chance |
|
[ITR]
manacle: xxyyy |
itr: kind:0 x:3 y:4 w:80 h:76 manacle: 25300 itr_end: |
Works like "Silence", makes the Target unable to use skills.
Doesn't blocks the work of regular moves: "hit_a", "hit_j" and "hit_d" XX - % of silence change (0 = 100%) YYY - time of silence |
About example: manacle: 25300 25% chance that target will be silenced 300 = 10 second of silent work |
|
[ITR]
delay: xxyyy |
itr: kind:0 x:3 y:4 w:80 h:76 delay: 99150 itr_end: |
Slows movement of target
Target can't move fast for some time. XX - % of slow chance YYY - time of slow works |
About example: delay: 99150 99% chance of target will be slowed 150 = 5 second of slow |
|
[ITR]
confus: xxyyy |
itr: kind:0 x:3 y:4 w:80 h:76 confus: 10090 itr_end: |
Confuse feature
Target's key buttons will shuffle for some time XX - % chance of Confuse YYY - how logn it will works |
About example: confus: 10090 10% chance of target will be affected by Confuse 090 = 3 second of button-shuffle |

itr: kind: 63 x: 0 y: 0 w: 100 h: 100 z: 100 dvx: 5 dvy: -5 itr_end: |
Platforms:
- Platforms work with "center" attrubutes of object, so it will works even with bodyless characters. itr kind X0 (dvy - sets the Height, only with X3/4/5) - creating platform that can be used for jumps. itr kind X1 - making barrier that cannot be passed thro itr kind X2 (taking up with "dvy", pushing with "dvx", ) - allows "dvx" and "dvy" for moving platform itr kind X3 (only with X3) - allows "dvx" and "dvy" for moving platform with acceleration itr kind X4 (slows the enemy by X and Y axises) - "dvx" and "dvy" functions now meaned to be as X\1000 and Y\1000. itr kind X5 (X3 - dvy - trampoline, dvx - pushes, X4/5/6/7/8 - doesn't work) - jumping platform with "dvx" for horisontal shift and "dvy" for vertical shift X can have values: - 3 - works on all Type-0 objects - 4 - works on ally Type-0 objects - 5 - works on enemy Type-0 objects - 6 - works like "3" but allows Type 0 \ 1 \ 2 \ 4 - 7 - works like "4" but allows Type 0 \ 1 \ 2 \ 4 \ 6 - 8 - works like "5" but allows Type 0 \ 1 \ 2 \ 4 \ 6 |
About example:
Here we're made a platform with "cube" shape, that can be used for jump and items will fall on it. The platform itself will move a little up and down dvx/dvy/dvz = 550 is Nessecary in Frame (not in ITR), or the platform just will fly away. Note: Better use negative values in "y:" for stable platform work |
