Verifying Object Items

name	description
wiki_verify_objects	Instructions for comparing regular object items (weapons, armor, tools, etc.) in GnollHackWiki with the GnollHack C code data structures (objclass) to spot mistakes in the documentation.

When verifying standard objects (weapons, armor, comestibles, tools, etc.) on the GnollHackWiki against the GnollHack C code, you must compare the item's documentation with the struct objclass defined in include/objclass.h and the actual data instantiated in src/objects.c.

Important Rules

• NEVER compare item weights. Do not check or update oc_weight or the weight listed on the wiki.
• Pay attention to which kind of data is present in struct objclass.

What to Compare

1. General Properties (All Objects)

• Base Cost: Compare the wiki's listed cost with oc_cost (15th argument in OBJECT macro).
• Material: Compare the wiki's material with oc_material.

2. Weapons

• Damage (Small Monsters): Compare with oc_wsdice, oc_wsdam (die size), and oc_wsdmgplus (modifier). E.g., 1d6+1 means oc_wsdice=1, oc_wsdam=6, oc_wsdmgplus=1.
• Damage (Large Monsters): Compare with oc_wldice, oc_wldam, and oc_wldmgplus.
• To-Hit Bonus: Compare with oc_hitbonus.
• Damage Type: Check if it's PIERCE, SLASH, or WHACK.

3. Armor

• Armor Class (AC) Bonus: Compare with oc_oc1 (which acts as oc_armor_class for armor).
• Magic Cancellation (MC) Bonus: Compare with oc_oc2 (which acts as oc_magic_cancellation for armor).
• Spell Casting Penalty: Compare with oc_oc7 (which acts as oc_spell_casting_penalty).

4. Comestibles (Food/Potions)

• Nutrition: Compare with oc_nutrition.
• Effects: Check the properties defined in oc_oc1 and oc_oc2 (e.g., oc_edible_effect).

How to Verify

1. Locate the item in src/objects.c.
2. Map the fields using the OBJECT macro definition.
3. Check the wiki page for discrepancies based on the list above.
