Step 1: Get the .xml file with all the object data
Step 2: Open the .xml file
Step 3: Find what you are looking for
Step 4: Interpret object information
Example: Septavius the Ghost God

Step 1: Get the .xml file with all the object data

I am assuming that at one point you found the "Help the Wiki" page. If not, here is the link again. Or if you are one of those rebel types, you can click the link near the bottom of the Navigation section (located on the right side of this page). Click the link in the sentence "For images and information, go here if possible."

You will be lead to an index where you may find links to object images and the .xml files with object information. Download the .xml file of the current build (At the time this was written, the current build was 3.1)

Step 2: Open the .xml file

Open the .xml file with some sort of text editor by either double clicking the file or right clicking, going to "Open with", and selecting your preferred program. Those with syntax highlighting are pretty nifty, but something like WordPad will do well enough. Note: The file can be opened with MS Word or Notepad, but MS Word will not find specific objects and Notepad will not always show all formatting (At least for me).

If you open with WordPad a window like the one below will open up.

Step 3: Find what you are looking for

Pull up the text editor's "Find" window. You can usually pull it up by pressing ctrl+f. On WordPad the "Find" button is listed under the "Home" tab.

Type in the name of the object you are searching for and press the "Find Next" button. You should be lead to a section of text that matches what you told the program to find.

Step 4: Interpret object information

In between the <Object type="(stuff)" id="(Name)"> and the </Object> tags you will find information about that object. The content will vary depending on what that object is. Information can be found between tag pairs or from single tags. Below is a table of tags and a short descrption about what it means. Not all information listed will be used in the wiki.

Example: Septavius the Ghost God

If we look up Septavius, something like the image below comes up

From "<MaxHitPoints>" , we find that maximum HP is 8000. From "<Defences>" , we find that DEF is 12. From "<Flying>" , we find that Septavius is a flying enemy. From "<Quest>" , we find that players can have a red quest arrow that points to Septavius. From "<God>" , we find that killing Septavius counts as a god kill. From "<StasisImmune>" , we find that Septavius is immune to stasis. From "<Level>" , we find that the player need to be at least level 1 in order to see Septavius's red quest arrow From "<XPMult>" , we find that killing Septavius gives 560 EXP, following the formula

EXP = Max HP/10 * XPMult 560 = 8000/10 * 0.7

If we take a look at his projectiles, we see something like below.

From "<Speed>" , we find that his White Bullet has a speed of 8 tiles/sec and his Brown Magic has a speed of 9 tiles/sec, following the formula

Speed (in tiles/sec) = Speed/10 8 = 80 / 10

From "<Damage>" , "<MinDamage>", and "<MaxDamage>", we find that White Bullet will always deal 75 damage and Brown Magic will deal a range of 40 to 45 damage. From "<LifetimeMS>" , we find that White Bullet has a life of 1500 miliseconds and Brown Magic has a life of 2600 miliseconds. With this, we can find the range (or rather the amount of tiles the projectile will travel)

Range or Distance traveled (in tiles) = Speed(tiles/sec) * LifetimeMS * (1 sec/ 1000 milisecond). 12 = 8 * 1500 * (1/1000) 23.4 =9 * 2600 * (1/1000)

So White Bullet travels 12 tiles and Brown Magic travels 23.4 tiles From "<ArmorPiercing>" , we find that White Bullet is an armor piercing attack. From "<MultiHit>" , we find that White Bullet and Brown Magic can hit more than one player during its lifetime From "<Boomerang>" , we find that Brown Magic will make a return path back to Septavius during its lifetime. From "<ConditionEffect>" and "duration=", we find that Brown Magic will cast Quiet for 1 sec on players that it hits.
