Adding a world item on a screen

Adding a world item to a screen has not been yet implemented inside Worldsmith. If you’d like to do add a world item to a screen, consider looking out the Steps (without Worldsmith).

Changing/removing a world item from a screen

Navigate to the Screens page.
Using the Go to screen… button or the up-down arrows, move to the screen you have the background you want to change/get rid of.
From the right side of the page, expand the World items tab.
Click on a world item or, using the left side of the page (preview), click on the world item’s sprite to easily find the world item you are looking for!

Modify the world items’s position using the input boxes, or flip the prop’s texture. Click on the red button with the X to remove the world item instance from the current screen.

Customize a world item

Navigate to the Wardrobe page.
Scroll until you find an header “Worlditems”.
Expand both the Customized and the Default tabs to find your world item.
Once found, hover on its name/sprite to show up further settings:
Click on Replace. A prompt will show up asking you to select the new worlditem’s texture.
After clicking Open, your worlditem should have changed sprite!

Steps (without Worldsmith)

Adding a world item

Make sure the item you want to use can be a world item.
Choose where you would like to have the world item in-game, writing down the screen number, X and Y positions.
Open the worlditems xml configuration file located in props/worlditems.

Copy the snippet below:

     <WorldItemState>
         <item>YOUR_ITEM_NAME</item>
         <screen>YOUR_WORLDITEM_SCREEN</screen>
         <_x>YOUR_WORLDITEM_X_POSITION</_x>
         <_y>YOUR_WORLDITEM_Y_POSITION</_y>
     </WorldItemState>

Paste it below the closing tag of an already existing WorldItemState or below the items tag.
Replace YOUR_ITEM_NAME with the Item name in the item’s list.
Replace YOUR_WORLDITEM_SCREEN with the screen of your choice.
Replace YOUR_WORLDITEM_X_POSITION and YOUR_WORLDITEM_Y_POSITION with their own respective relative value.

The world item should be now available like so:

Worlditem after

In the following example, the item name is Silver. Here’s a preview of my silver’s count before collecting the item:
After interacting with it, the item will disappear from the world and it should:
spawn a Silver coin in your inventory if you didn’t have one beforehand
add one Silver coin to the Silver coin count
If the item wouldn’t it be stackable and you already had an item present in the inventory, nothing will change in the inventory.

Removing a world item

Open the worlditems xml configuration file located in props/worlditems.
Find the item you want to delete.
Remove the entire WorldItemState tag of the world item that you don’t like.

Personalizing a world item (optional)

In the same folders where you found the worlditems xml configuration file you can find some packed XNB files. Each file corresponds to the texture of the world item.

By replacing any of these, you will change the look of your world item.

bug_note	Bug’s note
cap	Cap
ghost_fragment	Ghost Fragment
gnome_hat	Philosopher’s Hat
shoes_iron	Giant Boots
