I'd like to implement Item Breakage in a TMW fork I'm developing, but I'm not sure where the relevant code would go.
My plan is for items to take damage during battle, and break when at 0 hitpoints, like in Ryzom.
What would I need to do to get this behaviour?
Thanks!

Re: Item Breakage
There used to be some code to do something like this based on a random chance (not item "hp"), but (like practically everything in TMWA) it was buggy, so (since it was also unused) I removed it.
If you're interested in any particular features to be implemented *properly*, the best thing is to help with the incremental infrastructure improvements in the codebase. Tasks that need doing (that won't conflict with *my* work) include: documenting the network protocol, writing a new lexer, rewriting the admin dispatcher. Come to #tmwa if you are interested in helping and willing to put in several hours of work (otherwise, it's just wasting *my* time, I've spent hours explaining this before).
Note, however, that in the foreseeable future, supporting forks is not a goal of TMWA, since they just take away development effort and never give anything in return. And most forks just fail anyway.
