Hi. My name is Nathan (although most of you know me as west), and I've been playing cantr for three years this month (Jul 05). I am a grumpy oldbie, and this wiki feels like a personal victory. I have been campaigning for a freely-accessible knowledge base in this game for months if not longer, and the [[GAC]]'s unexpected creation of the wiki is really gratifying to me.

Nuts

West:

Healing food. You can gather 250g per day, or 375g with a [[stick]]

West:

Ugh... this looks ugly. I'll get around to changing this soon.

--[[User:Nick Roberts|Nick Roberts]] 01:38, 14 Jul 2005 (EDT)

Actually, I think we should leave this for easy reference to create pages for each individual tool. I'll start on that, but eventually this thing should go. It's not very wiki-like.

--[[User:Nick Roberts|Nick Roberts]] 06:31, 14 Jul 2005 (EDT)

Yeah that's pretty ugly, not to mention pretty incomplete.

Crowbar

2005-07-22T19:36:11Z

West: /* Use */

Yes, they break [[Locks|locks]], people. They can be your best friend and your worst enemy, and can determine the outcome of a battle.

==Building ==
They cost 215 [[Gram|grams]] of [[steel]] to make, and require an [[Machinery#Anvil|anvil]] in the area you're working in, as well as a [[Hammer|hammer]] in your [[Character|character's]] [[inventory]]. An [[Machinery#Anvil|anvil]] has to be built inside, so you'll need to have access to a [[Buildings|building]].

==Use==
To break a [[Locks|lock]], you simply try to enter into a locked [[Buildings|building]], and proceed with the picking project. For those that want to help you, they will have to join the picking project initiated by you (provided, of course, that they also have a crowbar). This project has a random outcome. Sometimes you break open a [[Locks|lock]] first try, and other times you are at it for days at end. Each try takes one person about a day.

West:

It isn't actually possible to die of old age :) ... But it will be before people really have an old age :) ... (like, people should die between 80 and 100)

--[[User:Jos Elkink|Jos Elkink]] 16:39, 21 Jul 2005 (EDT)

Well, that's what I meant. Could you put up some stats on this page as to the approximate breakdown of characters by ages?

Interface Guide

2005-07-22T19:20:26Z

West: /* Main Page */

==Cantr II Basic Interface Guide==
===Introduction===

Welcome at Cantr II. This is a short introductory guide to
Cantr II's interface. On the whole, the interface is fairly intuitive, so feel free just to jump in and play - this guide is by no means essential. But for those who, like myself, were a bit confused to start with, this is a gentle introduction on what to click on and why...

If you want an introduction to how the game works in general - go [[http://www.cantr.net/ooc/index.php?l=1 here]] See the general explanation
and newbie guide in particular...

Also, take time to read the [[http://www.cantr.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3488 FAQs]]
----
===Main Page===
This is page on which you are after login. On top is Player Info section where you have informations about you as player, and '''Change''' button which opens page where you can change your account details.

Next you have Messages section with important messages from [[Cantr Staff]]

Next you have Characters List which is list of all characters you created. There is name of character, sex, location where he/she is and progress indicator. '''P''' is short for [[project]], '''T''' for [[travel]], and '''D''' for [[dragging]]. If you click http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_small_char_happy.gif icon, then you will go to character's page. If name of your character is white, then some events happened. If name is grey, then nothing new happened.

Bottom you have Player Menu with those buttons:

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_newchar.gif - Create new character

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_unsubscribe.gif - Unsubscribe from Cantr (use with caution!)

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_logout.gif - Logout
----

===Character Info Box===
At the top of almost all pages when playing Cantr there will be a short summary about your character (just so you don't forget who you're playing...) and links to the seven
main pages.

The header displays the Cantr [[time]] and how many [[minutes]] you have left.

Next is the name of your character. (Note: This is the name
YOU know your character by - there's nothing to stop you giving different names out or other characters choosing to remember you by a differenty name. You can change this the same way you change any name in the game) Next to your name is a small link to the character description page - explained later.

The character's [[age]], the weight they are carrying and their location are all self-explanatory.

If your character is participating in a project, a short description will appear below the location. Clicking on the project name will bring up details on the project, clicking on the "'''X'''" will end your characters's participation in the project. The project will not be lost or deleted - you can go and find it later on the "Activity" page (see below).

Below this there is a row of links to the seven main pages that you will use in Cantr. I'll go through these one by one...
----

===Events Page===
The events page is central to playing Cantr. It will be the first page loaded when you start to play with a
character. It displays everything your character sees and hears.

To say something that will appear on the screen of every character in the same place (though not in buildings if there are any) Type into the box at the top and click '''Talk to all''' (talking to an individual character will be covered later)

Below this is the list of things that are happening where you are. This is just a very simple example. A busy town will have much more going on. They are listed with the most recent activities at the top. Each activity is time-stamped with the Cantr day and hour.

Every (living) character that appears on the events page will be displayed in orange. This is a link to the character interaction page, where you can change the name you know them by, talk to them, help them and many other things.

At the bottom left are two options to '''hide all''' of the events. and '''show all''' of the events (over the past few days)
----
===Inventory Page===

This page gives list of all items in your [[inventory]]. Different types of objects (notes, envelopes, materials, clothes, tools etc...) will have different icons...

'''Universal Icons:'''

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_small_drop.gif - Drop: Drops the item where your character stands. Anyone else in the same area can then pick it up. In the case of materials, you will be asked how many grams you wish to drop.

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_small_give.gif - Give: Gives the item to another character. In the case of materials, you will be asked how many grams you want to hand over. Then there will be drop down box where you can choose the character to give the item to. (Note: Each character has a limit to how much they can carry - if you try to give something to a character and it is too heavy for them, an error message will say so)

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_small_use.gif - Use: Use the item on a project or to start a project. You will be presented with a drop down list of all the projects, and, in the case of materials, be asked how many grams you wish to use. Or you will be asked to input the details of the project to be started.

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_small_empty_envelop.gif - Open: Opens the envelope and lists all the notes and envelopes inside so you can choose which to
take out. If the envelope is sealed, you will be asked if you want to break the seal

'''Materials Icons:'''

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_small_store.png - Store: Put the material into a storage item. You will be asked how many grams you wish to store. (Note: You will be informed if the amount you wish to store exceeds how much more space there is)

----
===Location Page===
This page gives some details about where your character is.

The [[map]] on the left is a small representation of the local area. In the center is a list of all the [[raw materials]] available. Clicking on the icon next to the materials will take you to a page where you can start a project to gather it.

To the right is a small image that does nothing much but just look pretty...

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_animals.gif - This button in the center is a link to a list of [[animals]] in that location. Currently the only interaction available with animals is to attack them.

At the bottom of the page is a list of the roads out of the location. Next to each path there are three icons:

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_small_pointat.png - Point: Will make your character point the path, so other characters will see that

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_small_follow.gif - Travel: will make your character follow the path (not an option if your character is in the middle of a project - stop your participation first)

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_small_improve.gif - Improve: Will start a project to improve the type of road
----
===Buildings & Vehicles Page===

This gives lists of [[vehicles]] and [[buildings]] in the same location (if any). There is name of vehicle/building, type of it in brackets and a few pretty obvious icons...

----
===People Page===
This gives a list of every [[character]] in the same location. It is also the same page that will appear when you click on a character's orange link from the events page (but only
for that character or those characters in the exchange)

The icons are as follow:

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_small_char_happy.gif - Description: Will take you to a description of the person, with some vital [[Skills#States|statistics]] (you get to see less about another character than you do your own) You can also change the name you know the character by after clicking this icon.

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_small_talk.gif - Talk: Will allow you to talk to a person. What you say will only be heard by that character (but other characters in the same location will see you saying something to that particular character)

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_small_pointat.png - Point: Every character in the same place will see you point at that particular character

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_small_hit.gif - Hit: Choose a [[Weapons_and_Protection|weapon]] and how much force you want to use and your character will attack that character
----
===Objects Page===
This page is similar to the inventory page, except that it lists everything 'on the [[ground|ground]]' where your character is, including machines. Icons are the same as in the inventory page except for a few:

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_small_take.gif - Take: Your character will take the item. For materials, you will be asked how many grams you wish to take

'''pull''' - Pull/Push: After choosing which building, your character will push the note or envelope into a building

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_small_use.gif - Use: If there are any [[Machinery|machines]], you can use this button to start a project. In most cases this will bring up a form where the details for the project can be entered.

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_small_retrieve.gif - Retrieve: If there are any [[containers]], you can use this button to retrieve resources from it
----
===Activity Page===

This page is a list of all activites in the area your character is in. Because there are often many unfinished projects, it takes a long time to load them all. Instead,
there is a search field, so you can search for specific types of projects. Leaving the field blank will load all activities. Projects started by your character are listed automatically.

An individual project will look similar to this:

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_small_info.gif http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_small_join.gif http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_small_end.gif farming to get rice ([[a woman in her thirties]], 1015-1)

The first icon gives details on the projects. Clicking the second icon will make your character participate in that project. The cross will cancel the project (only possible if no progress has been made and no materials have been used if required)

The character in brackets is the character who originally started the project if they are still in the same place (not necessarily the character working on the project) and is a link to the character details as usual. After that is a Cantr time stamp of when the project was started.

Projects are listed in three colours:
* Dark grey - Has no one working on the project
* Light grey - Has other characters working on the project
* White - Is the project your character is working on
----
===Character and Player Menus===

Finally, at the bottom of most pages are two menus.

'''Character Menu:'''

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_note.gif - Will create a new note for editing - will appear in your character's inventory

http://www.cantr.net/graphics/cantr/pictures/button_envelop.gif - Will create an envelope in your character's inventory

Ground

2005-07-21T17:39:06Z

West:

The ground in Cantr contains the items you see when you click on '[[Interface_Guide#Object_Page|Objects]]' on top of your character's page.

Some resources (i.e. the various types of food) are perishable if left on the ground, and the quantity will be found to diminish over time. This can be prevented by storing them in a building, container or your [[Interface_Guide#Inventory_Page|inventory]].

Vehicle

2005-07-21T17:35:15Z

Vehicles will usually decrease the time taken to travel between places, assuming the [[roads]] allow for the vehicle to do so properly. Vehicles can also enable characters to transport more than they would be able to on their own. New vehicles automatically come with a lock.

This building is a freestanding building when build within a town's main area.

However, this same cottage may be built inside other buildings, and then it is considered a room within the bigger building (Hope that's not confusing!). This could be useful, for example, so that different areas can be locked and kept private.

Age

2005-07-21T16:14:35Z

West:

Age works a little differently in cantr. Every character begins life at 20, and ages one year for every twenty real-life (and in-game) days. A character that has existed since 1000, for example, will turn 34 on 1280.

A character's age is visible only to that character's player, but his or her ''approximate'' age is visible to all, in their character description, as "A man in his twenties," "a woman in her fourties," etc.

The vast majority of people in cantr are in their twenties, though as the game gets older it is more and more common to see people in their thirties, fifties, even their seventies. (A character in his/her seventies has been around almost since the start of the game. A character born on the very first day that cantr existed would now be in their very early 80s, as of day 1200. There are very few people this old.)

As stated, the vast majority of cantr folk are in their twenties, with numbers decreasing exponentially for every decade of age.

It is possible to die of old age.

Hi. My name is west, and I've been playing cantr for three years this month (Jul 05). I am a grumpy oldbie, and this wiki feels like a personal victory. I have been campaigning for a freely-accessible knowledge base in this game for months if not longer, and the [[GAC]]'s unexpected creation of the wiki is really gratifying to me.

Expect to see a lot of me on this wiki in the next few months.

The unit of measurement for Cantr.

This has no relation to the metric gram, although it is common in Cantr to refer to other metric measurements, like the kilogram and ton.

A Cantrian can carry 15000 grams at once.

A Cantrian weighs 60000 grams.

== Formatting ==

I'd like to see a bit of a different layout here, if possible.
It'd be simpler to list the entries here as-is, true, but have fewer individual entries.

Instead of four pages for cotton, cotton fibres, yarns, and cloth, for example, have one page with separate headings and have the links to those places lead to each separate heading, using the <nowiki>[[cotton#cloth]</nowiki> type formatting. That link would lead to the cotton page, the cloth heading.

I'd like to see that system implemented all-around, actually. For healing foods, regular foods, foods that need to be processed, baked goods, cloths, iron products, etc.

It'll be a lot of work, but not actually any more than creating all these separate pages.

Weapons and protection

2005-07-13T01:25:02Z

West: /* Basic Weapons */

The first thing you should know about weapons and protection is that Cantr II is not a "Hack and Slash" game. You can only attack an individual once per day. However, in any society, there are instances when violence is necessary.

==Bladed Weapons==

Most bladed weapons have two parts. To build the blade, you require an anvil in the room, as well as a flatter, set hammer, peen hammer, and sledgehammer in your inventory while working on the project. The other part of the weapon varies widely, check each weapon for more information.

To attatch the blade to the hilt or shaft, just start a project to build that weapon, and then add the required parts to the project. You'll need a peen hammer to attatch the blade, and an anvil in the room.

==Bows==

Bows require various parts in construction. You'll need to start a project for the bow you want, and add all of the required objects. Most are made of wood, and require tools like a knife, or a carving knife.

To create any bow you'll need a bowstring. This can be made out of practically any clothing material, or sinew in the case of the primitive bow. You'll need a twiner to create string, and then a string jig in to create a bowstring.

To assemble any bow except the primitive one, you'll need a bow stringer in the room.

==Shields==

Bone shields are a wise thing to build for a character without much access to anything. They can be created without the use of anything other than bones and a little hide. You'll need some small bones as well as some large bones, and a knife to construct it. Luckily, bone will do.

A buckler is an economic choice for decent protection against animals. They require a small ammount of wood and hide, and a hammer to construct.

A wooden shield is ideal for young characters, as it does not take much refining to get. All you need to do is get 500 grams of wood, which can be gathered as a raw resource, unlike iron. While not quite as good as an iron shield, this will protect against almost all animal and newspawn-gone-crazy attacks.

If you manage to kill a desert tortoise, their shells make excellent shields. Better than wood but not quite as good as iron. Of course, if you have a weapon that can kill a desert tortoise, you probably don't need a tortoiseshell shield.

A chitin shield is a rare item that is made from the shell of a scarab.

An [[Iron|iron]] shield is the best protection cantr has to offer. Only the biggest beasts of animals, and the strongest weapons can get through it. Certianly an essential for combat. Requires a hammer to make.

== Basic Weapons ==

Weapons that require no tools or machinery to make are ideal for newspawns. Some examples include bone knives, primitive bows, bone clubs, or bone spears.

In combat situation, basic weapons are usually (but not always) blocked by shields. However, even a basic weapon will increase the damage you do to animals and to people (if you bypass their shields).
