StrSheet_Item

StrSheet_Item.xml stores player-facing strings (display name and tooltip text).

Most teams define strings inline on items:

strings:
  name: "Iron Sword"
  toolTip: "A basic training weapon."

But you can also author strings in a standalone itemStrings section.

Inline Usage

ItemStrings are commonly defined inline within item create operations:

items:
  create:
    - id: 99001
      name: "InternalName"
      # ... other item properties

      strings:
        name: "Display Name"
        toolTip: "Item tooltip text"

The inline strings block automatically creates a corresponding entry in StrSheet_Item.xml with the same ID as the item.

Standalone Usage

For updating existing string entries or defining strings separately:

itemStrings:
  update:
    - id: 1
      changes:
        name: "Updated Iron Sword"
        toolTip: "A well-crafted iron blade."

Common pitfalls

• Don’t confuse internal vs display name: item name (in ItemTemplate.xml) is not the player-facing display string
• Consistency: treat strings like content — review them, spellcheck them, and keep style consistent
