ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Sorry if this is answered on the main page/wiki, but I'm too lazy to look at it(hey, at least I want to contribute, ok?)

I know Python and C++, love making maps, I can also somewhat draw.

So, if somebody could tell me exactly how to:

* Add a custom tile for use with one of the following
* Add a new artifact
* Add a new ego
* Add a new monster/creature
* Add a new item type(for example a tool)
* How to attach a script to an item(like that tool), use it's charge, affect user, etc.

I guess you could post it in a new thread and make it a sticky for potential future contributors.

Examples of all of this are in the code. Lua is really easy pretty easy to read anyway and Dakgod's code and the way he has it all organized is really easy to follow. I don't know what someone would paste here other then an example (and looking at the game files below are the best examples you can get since they're all working code).

For artifacts check \modules\tome\data\general\objects\world-artifacts

For egos check\modules\tome\data\general\objects\egos

For monsters \modules\tome\data\general\npcs

If you need help understanding what specific values do you can always hop in the IRC channel or ask here but a lot of them are self explanatory.

Ok. This should be helpful. And the IRC channel/server? I can't find it anywhere on the tome4 site.

irc.rizon.net #tome

(there's a stickied thread about someplace if you ever forget and need to find it)
