Perhaps we should regulate comments?

EOF newline

I’d like to propose that all script files should have a mandatory newline at the end of file, to ease working with shell scripts on these files. —kess 14:01, 14 October 2008 (CEST)

NPC section suggestion

The NPC section isn’t there yet, and while I do not know it. Here’s a beginning text someone might be able to work off from. Note that the NPC script in new_37-1-woodland-mine/miners.txt has two additional values just before the start of the script section.

NPCs are defined like this:

map,x,y,?<TAB>script<TAB>name<TAB>spriteID,[?,?,]{

script

}

Where

• map is the map the NPC is located in
• x is the x-coordinate of the NPC
• y is the y-coordinate of the NPC
• ? is ...
• name is the name of the NPC, is this also unused?
• spriteID is the NPC sprite identifier
• ? is ...
• ? is ...
• script is the scripting code, see below

Yeah, I never got around to doing this. The first question mark is the direction (I assume facing direction, 8 compass values available), which we don't use. The second two are indeed optional. They define an activation area, which only that one NPC uses (to warn you when you get too close). The only thing we need to do is determine how the numbers for the activation area work. — Jaxad0127 17:51, 14 October 2008 (CEST)

The name is used, it shows below the npc.
