Tutorial
Placeables
Placeables contains variables and scripts documenations for placeables
Items
item powers are described on their own page
ci_g_baseitemproperty.nss contains all base item definitions. That file is then through perl script that will convert that nwscript script to perl script and evaluate it and generate 3 different wiki pages: Master list with all information, Item list for players, Item list for crafting purposes. Those pages are on special auto namespace, so we can update them automatically. Those pages can be included then to other pages with include directives. Master information is kept on the CVS ci_g_baseitemproperty.nss, and the format of that file MUST STAY simple (for example DO NOT add anything to after the base function filling up the values).
Herbs
Herbs are set down by placing a waypoint herb_(shortname) where the shortname is from the herblist the standard areaentry will then create them.
Houses
To build your own houses check the information from housing page.

Hakpacks
Note that hak paks are read in the order they appear in the list, and last file found is the one used, i.e. cerea22da.hak should be LAST hak in the list, so the 2da files there will override all other 2da files in other haks.
