A reference of all the customizable values of everything in a [[Rulesets (OpenXcom)|ruleset]], according to the latest nightly. This page should be updated as new versions become available in order to explain the changes from [[Ruleset Reference (OpenXcom)|version 1.0]].

Some guidelines:
 
−
* If a value is omitted from the ruleset, the default is used. You cannot omit ''required'' values.
 
−
* Text strings (eg. names) are represented by string IDs from the [[Translations (OpenXcom)|language files]]
 
−
* Numerical IDs (used for sprites, sounds, etc.) start at 0, not 1.
 
−
* Boolean (yes/no) values are represented by true/false.
 
−
* World coordinates are represented in degrees (see [[WORLD.DAT]]).
 
−
* Money amounts (prices, costs, etc.) are represented in dollars.
 
−
* All file paths are case insensitive, but IDs (such as string IDs, music names, or cutscene names) are case sensitive.  In general, though, if it works on one operating system, it will work on all operating systems.

Items are ordered as they come in the ruleset. To override this, you can specify a ''listOrder''. You can find the default listOrders in [[Ruleset List Order (OpenXcom)|Ruleset List Order]].

==== Guidelines/Tips ====
 
−
* There are 3 main 'types' of map generation in UFO/TFTD:
 
−
** Random, where any map block (including XCom craft and/or UFOs/USOs) can be placed anywhere in the [[Battlescape]];
 
−
** Procedurally generated, where placement of certain maps is defined by rules (i.e. the roads on the Urban terrain used in terror sites in Enemy Unknown/UFO Defense);
 
−
** Static, where only 1 or more maps are used (i.e. Cargo and Liner Ships in TFTD).
 
−
* Map scripting in OpenXcom allows also for a mixture of 2 or even all the 3 described above, where some parts of the map will be static, others will be filled according to certain rules and the remainer filled randomly.
 
−
* Every script requires at least 1 map block used for spawning XCom units. Usually that role is taken by XCom craft, except on the XCom Base, Alien Base and the 2nd part of the Cydonia mission. If the script can't place this map then OpenXcom will display a message saying that it couldn't place XCom units on the map.
 
−
* Every space on the Battlescape needs to be filled, so the script should have enough mapblocks available for use. In the case of the vanilla terrains, the maxUses settings were designed mostly for 50x50 dimensions so any increases to those dimensions will require adjusting the maxUses settings. Otherwise the game will crash and display an error message that it couldn't generate the map.
 
−
* The "addLine" command relies on groups 2, 3 and 4 as its vertical road, horizontal road and crossroad pieces.
 
−
* The "addCraft" and "addUFO" commands will place blocks from group 1 as well, by default, if any are defined.

| '''conditionals'''

Commands that are not yet executed are always in failed state.

|-
 
−
| '''missionWeights'''
 
−
| The type of mission to spawn (omit to pick one from the mission table). These are split into monthly chunks, and can contain multiple entries including weighted odds, but there is a caveat here: You cannot mix and match missions with mission site objectives (ie: terror) with regular missions. They are generated too differently. Using executionOdds and conditionals instead can achieve exactly the same thing. Similarly, terror missions should not appear in regional mission weights (regions.rul).

| '''executionOdds'''
 
−
| % chances of this command executing.

−
If the list is omitted: for a terror type mission, all regions that meet the criteria will be weighed equally. For regular missions the normal regional distribution weights will be applied.

| This command only applies to difficulty levels of this or above.

−
| '''researchTriggers'''
 
−
| A list of research topics that can influence the execution of this mission. For example
 
−
* "''STR_THE_ULTIMATE_THREAT: true''" means the mission would only run if the player has researched the ultimate threat.
 
−
* "''STR_TLETH_TH_ALIEN_CITY: false''" means the mission would only run if the player has not researched Tleth.
 
−
Several research triggers can be combined and for the mission to appear all must be fulfilled.

==== Guidelines/Tips ====
 
−
Relevant ruleset files for editing missions are for a terror type mission:
 
−
 
 
−
* missionScripts.rul
 
−
* alienMissions.rul
 
−
* alienDeployments.rul
 
−
* ufoTrajectories.rul
 
−
* regions.rul
 
−
* globe.rul
 
−
 
 
−
alienDeployments.rul defines the mission site details the globe defines the terrain (id:-3) which references the deployment directly, because this is a terror site terrain. The region defines a number of city-style "points" (meaning the min/max values are the same for lat/lon) which use that terrain/texture. The trajectory points to these "points" as the mission site targets.
 
−
The alienMission provides the link between the trajectory and the region in its waves, which spawn the site directly instead of an actual UFO/USO and finally the missionScript invokes the AlienMission.

−
|}
 
−
 
 
−
Notes:
 
−
* turnLimit is used to define the turn where the game ends, default is 0 (no limit). If the value is changed from default then the game will display the number of turns on the 'Hidden Movement' screens as '1/20', '2/20', etc., and the numbers will switch to red when there's less than 3 turns remaining.
 
−
* chronoTrigger is used with turnLimit and defines what happens when the turn limit is reached. There are 3 possible settings:
 
−
** 0 (default) = forces a Loss, meaning that the player loses everything if the mission isn't completed by the time the turn limit is reached. All units are declared dead or MIA when the game ends. This is ideal for bomb defusal type missions.
 
−
** 1 = forces a Abort, this is almost the same as above, with the exception that there must be at least 1 soldier on an exit-only area (like the green room on the 1st stage of Cydonia) to win at the end of the turn limit. This setting is better used for multi-stage missions where you'll need to bring at least 1 soldier to the next stage.
 
−
** 2 = forces a Win, where if you have at least 1 live unit at the end of the turn limit you'll win the mission, regardless of where the soldiers are. This is meant for Survival scenarios.
 
−
** Regardless of the setting, the player can always still win by eliminating all alien units before the turn limit, or fail the mission by losing all units.
 
−
* cheatTurn allows to define the turn where the AI becomes aware of all your units (default is 20) for individual missions. Once this turn is reached the aliens will be forced to go into attack mode and engage your units. This is effectively a cheat for the AI which was present on the original game.

This is a list of item level probabilities, with a number between 0 and 2 representing an item level from plasma pistols to heavy plasmas, as defined in the deployments, expressing a 10% probability for that item level being used.
 
−
 
 
−
0 = first set (plasma pistol/clip)
 
−
1 = second set (plasma rifle/clip)
 
−
2 = third set (heavy plasma/clip)
 
−
 
 
−
For example:
 
−
[ 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1 ]
 
−
would represent a 60% chance for pistols, 30% rifles, and 10% heavy weapons.<br>
 
−
Note that the order does not matter, but the length DOES. each line MUST have 10 digits.
 
−
 
 
−
The above can be confusing. There are 10 fields; each number represents 10%.<br>
 
−
There are six instances of '0'. 6x10% = 60% chance of plasma pistol<br>
 
−
There are three instances of '1'. 3x10% = 30% chance of plasma rifle<br>
 
−
There is only one instance of '2'. 1x10% = 10% chance of heavy plasma<br>
 
−
 
 
−
Each line represents a month after the beginning of the game, and there is no limit to the number defined.<br>
 
−
OpenXCom will use the most recently available item level in the event the game goes on forever.

=== Extra Sprites ===

Example:

−
  width: 32
 
−
  height: 40
 
−
  files:
 
−
    0: Resources/Bunny/Bunny00.png
 
−
    1: Resources/Bunny/Bunny01.bmp
 
−
    2: Resources/Bunny/Bunny02.gif
 
−
 
 
−
Further example: (takes advantage of the ability to drop numerous images into a single folder that will then behave as a sprite sheet)
 
−
 
 
−
- type: GIANTBUNNY.PCK
 
−
  width: 32
 
−
  height: 40
 
−
  files:
 
−
    0: Resources/Bunny/sprite/
 
−
(The folder "/sprite/" is required to make this work. Files within will be numbered sequential from the number defined above. "0" in this case.)

=== Extra Sounds ===

Example:
 
−

−
  files:

    55: Resources/Sounds/sample.wav
 
−

Warning for adding .wav files: the game works with low bitrate, uncompressed mono PCM wav. Any other format is likely to not work.
