Tokens

Token	Arguments	Usage	Description
NAME	singular:plural	All	What this item will be called ingame.
PREPLURAL	<phrase> of	ITEM_ARMOR ITEM_PANTS	Changes the plural form of this item to "<phrase of> item". Primarily pertains to the stock screens. Example, "suits of" platemail, "pairs of" trousers, etc.
MATERIAL_PLACEHOLDER	adjective	ITEM_ARMOR ITEM_PANTS
VALUE	num	ITEM_ARMOR ITEM_GLOVES ITEM_SHOES ITEM_SHIELD ITEM_HELM	Unused
ARMORLEVEL	omitted - clothing 1 - leather 2 - chain 3 - plate	All	What category this item falls under. Lack of this tag makes this item clothes level.
UPSTEP	value, MAX	ITEM_GLOVES ITEM_SHOES ITEM_SHIELD	This token functions exactly like LBSTEP but in reverse. How many steps up this item protects. 'Up'is defined as "Connected through a series of one or more body parts with the [LIMB] token to an UPPERBODY part. Gloves and shoes can not protect upper or lower bodies. Example, chausses with an upstep of MAX, protect the the foot and the entire leg, but not the lower body. The same effect could be achieved (on a humanoid) with UPSTEP>=2. Since toes and fingers lack the [LIMB] token, gloves and boots do not protect them. This may be a bug.v0.31.03
UBSTEP	value, MAX	ITEM_ARMOR	How many steps away from upper body the armor protects. Only present on torso armor. When counting steps, ignore any steps through upper or lower body parts(UBSTEP:0 items protect the upper and lower bodies as a result of this). Currently bugged,v0.31.03 high values of UBSTEP will result in the item protecting facial features, fingers, and toes, while leaving those parts that it can not protect unprotected (but still counting them as steps). Torso armor can not protect hands, feet, or heads (parts with [GRASP],[STANCE], or [HEAD] tokens respectively) regardless of the UBSTEP value. UBSTEP can also not protect parts that can be protected by LBSTEP. Example, torso armor with [UBSTEP:1] will protect upper arms, wings, non-[STANCE] tails, the torso, and lower body. However, a torso armor with [UBSTEP:4] or higher will also cover lower arms, fingers, facial features, and toes.
LBSTEP	value or MAX	ITEM_ARMOR ITEM_PANTS	How many steps down the armor protects. 'Down' is defined as "Connected through a series of one or more body parts with the [LIMB] token to a body part with the [STANCE] token. [LBSTEP] can not protect feet (parts with the [STANCE] token). When counting steps, ignore any steps through upper or lower body parts. Example, torso armor with a LBSTEP:1 will protect both the lower body and the upper legs in addition to the torso(the lower body step is not counted). Leg armor with LBSTEP:MAX will protect the lower body, the entire legs, but not the feet or toes.
METAL_ARMOR_LEVELS		ITEM_ARMOR ITEM_GLOVES ITEM_SHOES ITEM_HELM ITEM_PANTS	Metal versions of this item count as one ARMORLEVEL higher.
BLOCKCHANCE	value	ITEM_SHIELD	Affects the block chance of the shield.
MATERIAL_SIZE	value	All	How much material is needed to make the item. Most important with bars. The number of bars required to make the item is the value divided by three.
SOFT		All	Item can Template:L when worn. Opposite of [HARD]. Randomly generated equipped armor will have an equal probability of being made of leather or cloth, when this token is present and [METAL] is absent.
HARD		All	Item does not Template:L when worn. Opposite of [SOFT]. No tag defaults to [HARD].
METAL		All	Item can be made with metal. Randomly generated equipped armor will always be made out of metal whenever possible.
BARRED		All	Can be crafted out of bone. Randomly generated equipped armor will never be made out of bone.
SCALED		All	Can be crafted from shell. Randomly generated equipped armor will never be made of shell.
LEATHER		All	Item can be made from leather. Randomly generated equipped armor with [LEATHER] will not be made of cloth, unless [SOFT] is also present.
SHAPED		All	Only one shaped piece of clothing can be worn on a single body slot at a time.
CHAIN_METAL_TEXT		All	Metal versions of this item will have "chain" added between the material and item name.
STRUCTURAL_ELASTICITY_WOVEN_THREAD		All
STRUCTURAL_ELASTICITY_CHAIN_METAL		All
STRUCTURAL_ELASTICITY_CHAIN_ALL		All	Seems to make blunt attacks more damaging. Further testing is needed.
LAYER_SIZE	value	All	What the size of this item in question is, when it is put on. See Template:L for more on item sizes and layering.
LAYER_PERMIT	value	All	The maximum number of items allowed on that body slot. If the body slot's layer value is over this, no more of this item can be put on. See Template:L for more on item sizes and layering.
LAYER	UNDER, OVER, ARMOR, COVER	All	How this item is layered. The [LAYER_PERMIT:#] of a [LAYER:ARMOR] item overrides the [LAYER_PERMIT:#] of other items on the same ITEM_<name1>, unless it is a [LAYER:COVER] items.
COVERAGE	% value	All	Coverage determines how often attacks and contaminants get through clothes. Armor with a 5% coverage value, for example, will be near useless because 95% of attacks will bypass it completely. Temperature effects are also influenced by coverage.
