[Knight Otu]

There are several places in the raws where the game expects a reference to one or more items. However, as these raws are mostly only created to cover a certain feature, this results in these raws only being able to set the needed item qualities. For examples, in creature raws, only extra butchery objects can have a shape, only item corpses can have a quality, and so on.

As such, I would suggest that these raw references should be unified as much as possible. The main token would start an "item definition", and the following tokens define the item itself, so I'll call those I(tem)D(efinition) tokens here. Obviously, there would be several ID tokens that only make sense in certain contexts, such as for reagents, and some tokens have to act slightly differently depending on context. For a few examples, the bronze colossus could look like this:

Code: [Select]

[ITEMCORPSE:statue corpse]
[ID_TYPE:STATUE:NO_SUBTYPE]
[ID_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:BRONZE]
[ID_QUALITY:5]
[ID_SHAPE:SELF] *To make the statue be of the colossus itself
The ostrich might look like this:

Code: [Select]

[EXTRA_BUTCHER_OBJECT:gizzard stone:BY_CATEGORY:GIZZARD]

[ID_MATERIAL:ANY_HARD_STONE]

The honey bee may look like this:

[ID_AMOUNT:1]
[ID_TYPE:LIQUID_MISC:NONE]
[ID_MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:ROYAL_JELLY]
A creature with a maple leaf item breath might look like this:

Code: [Select]

[CDI:MATERIAL:TRAILING_ITEM_FLOW] *MATERIAL here would be replaced by a more fitting word
[ID_TYPE:PLANT_GROWTH:LEAVES]
[ID_MATERIAL:PLANT_MAT:MAPLE:LEAF]
A tree that grows anvils might look like this:

Code: [Select]
