Armor is loosely defined as anything worn by a mob on a position other than WIELD and HELD (and sometimes in those positions!) There are a variety of subtypes of armor. Besides the standard items, the following Generic armors exist:

  • GenArmor (GenBelt, GenCloak, GenDress, GenPants, GenShirt, GenShoes, GenThinArmor)
  • GenEarring
  • GenLimb
  • GenShield


GenArmor

GenArmor is anything that is worn by a MOB or player as a type of clothing or protection. Clothing, Jewelry and Armor of all varieties fall within this category of item types. GenArmor does not HAVE to provide protective value (such as a blanket worn about the Body, or a necklace).

Armor Wear Locations

Items can cover a single wear location or multiple wear locations.

Head This generally refers to a cap, helmet or crown-type of item worn over the back of the skull, top of the head, or forehead. Cap, Crown, Helmet, Halo

Armor fields

  • Armor with protective values (non-zero values) should NOT have the multiwear flag set. Otherwise players will find a way to wear a bunch of these things to get to incredible armor values.

Special Armor types

  • Bandoliers should be worn about the body, layer 2 (or higher), see-through, contents accessible, 50 lbs of capacity, and generally carry any contents.

GenEarring

GenLimb

  • The name of the GenLimb reflects what body part it replaces, and always needs to be the last word in the name. For example, a replacement eye would need to have a name of Vecna's Eye, not Eye of Vecna.

GenShield
