Definitions or Descriptions of Rules?

[loglos]

Hi.

Are the description of the rules (rule_values) written anywhere? As a matter of a fact, I think I am missing something. Are things like item_types and such documented anywhere? I've checked the wiki but really didn't find much. Could be that I am not using it correctly. So far most of my info has come from searching these forums.

Thanks.

Awesome! That's exactly what I was looking for.

thanks.

Might want to sticky this post. I use it all of the time and it was starting to get down in the post list I am sure others will find it very helpful as well.

This data is better off in the wiki.

[trevius]

Well, here is some info directly from the rulestypes.h source that has some extra definitions. Figured I would post it here if someone is making a wiki for it. I don't use the wiki very often, cause it seems to be a bit hard to navigate and find things. Maybe I am just using it wrong. It would be nice if there was just 1 page with all wiki sections on it that you could click a section and it would open up a list of what wiki's are available for that section. So, you could get to all of them from one spot. So far, to me it seems like you have to either search text to find what you want or try to navigate through wiki pages until you find it. There are alot of pages that I don't even know how to get to unless I do a search. Maybe there needs to be a wiki to how to use the wiki properly lol.
