H-World - Item inspector configuration

Descriptions are up to date with H-World version 0.1.6

Item inspector configuration

H-World used the item inspector in two places

1. Player stats panel (uses config file ./data/player.tab)
2. Inventory/trading/item exchange view (uses config file ./data/inspector.tab):

Syntax

The item inspector reads a config file that tells it what item properties to display and how to display them. Each configuration entry consist of a number of lines:

  2
  Health: %d/%d
  HPcurr
  HPmax

Above example means, that 2 properties shall be displayed, formatted as Health: %d/%d. The properties to display are HPcurr and HPmax. The line will only be displayed if all properties are set for the inspected item. The format placeholders %d resemble those knwon from printf(). Be careful that they match the type of the property: %s for string and %d forinteger. Mismatches, particularly %s instead of %d, can lead to a crash of the H-World CRPG engine.
