```plaintext
[CHARDEF xxx]
//base defs
DEFNAME=c_char_defname

NAME=Some Name
ICON=i_xx   // chars without icon set will default to i_pet_whisp
SOUND=snd_xx    //Preferably all chardefs should have sounds

//Fixed values' properties and tags. Fixed only, ranges are not allowed here.
DAM=15,20
DAMFIRE=20
FACTION=faction_demon   // defnames in lowercase

ON=@Create
    //Even with fixed size, brain, color, fame/karma skills and stats must be added in @Create
    //Brain first
    NPC=<def.brain_monster>
    
    //Fame/karma
    FAME=10000
    KARMA=-10000
    
    //Color, if required
    COLOR=<def.colors_slime>
    
    //Stats
    STR={100 150}
    DEX={120 130}
    INT={15 20}
    MAXHITS={120 160}
    
    //From here, excepting skills, can be placed here for random values or in the [CHARDEF ] block for fixed values.
    //Resistances   //Resphysical is also required, armor can be added for backwards but having armor doesn't mean that resphysical isn't required and viceversa.
    RESPHYSICAL={55 65}
    RESFIRE={30 35}
    RESCOLD={40 45}
    RESPOISON=0 // Any property with a value of 0 should not be added, just remove the whole line
    
    //Damages (if not fixed, fixed values are placed above)
    //DAMPHYSICAL can be added but if it's not present it will be defaulted to RESPHYSICAL = 100 - (RESFIRE+RESCOLD+RESPOISON+RESENERGY)
    DAMCOLD={30 35}
    
    //Skills
    MAGERY={350 500}
    MEDITATION={700}    //RANGES should NEVER be added for a single value, this should be MEDITATION=700
    
    //Other not-fixed properties
    HitLeechLife={35 40}
    
    ITEM=xx //Wearables (clothes, weapons, light sources, hairs, horns...)
    //Only wearables, to prevent loot items from being saved, loaded from/to save files, checked in rescount, forcont, etc over and over and being snopped/stolen? in undefined situations

ON=@CreateLoot // loot behaviour, created after the char dies
    ITEM=xxx

ON=@NPCRestock//Use this trigger for BUY/SELL templates only on vendors

### Initialize DataTable for Clients Table

Source: https://github.com/sphereserver/scripts-x/blob/main/web/outputs/clients.html

Initializes a DataTable on the element with ID 'table-clients'. This enables features like sorting, searching, and pagination for the client data. It's typically used to enhance the interactivity of large tables.

```javascript
$(document).ready(function () { $("#year-text").text((new Date).getFullYear()); $('#table-clients').DataTable({ order: [[0, 'desc']], search: true, pagging: true }); });
```

--------------------------------

### Initialize DataTable for Chars Table

Source: https://github.com/sphereserver/scripts-x/blob/main/web/base/chars.html

Initializes a DataTables instance for the character table with sorting, searching, and pagination enabled. This script runs when the document is ready.

```javascript
$(document).ready(function () {
  $("#year-text").text((new Date).getFullYear());
  $('#table-chars').DataTable({
    order: [[0, 'desc']],
    search: true,
    pagging: true
  });
});
```

--------------------------------

### Configure NPC and Player Events in sphere.ini

Source: https://github.com/sphereserver/scripts-x/blob/main/README.md

Ensure these events are set in your sphere.ini for the script pack to function correctly. These are typically enabled by default.

```ini
// Events related to all NPCs
EventsPet=e_npc_generic_event

// Events related to all players
EventsPlayer=e_player_generic_event,e_player_crafting_event
```

--------------------------------

### Initialize Items Data Table

Source: https://github.com/sphereserver/scripts-x/blob/main/web/base/items.html

Initializes a DataTables instance to display item data fetched from a JSON source. Use this to render and manage the item table on the page.

```javascript
$(document).ready(function () { $('#table-items').DataTable({ sAjaxSource: '../datas/items.json', bDeferRender: true, columns: [ { items: 'name' } ], }); });
```

--------------------------------

### Vendor Configuration

Source: https://github.com/sphereserver/scripts-x/blob/main/npcs/README.txt

Configuration for vendor NPCs, including gold capacity, current gold, restock behavior, and markup for sales.

```plaintext
set VENDCAP for their gold cap and VENDGOLD for setting their current amount on the fly.
On each restock they will set VENDGOLD to VENDCAP if VENDGOLD is lower than VENDCAP
Restocks are done each 10 minutes by default unless REGION.TAG.RESTOCKVENDORS=30 is set (in tenths of second, 30 = each 3 seconds) (and only for regions)
REGION.TAG.NORESTOCK or a TAG.NORESTOCK in the vendor prevents any restock
They have a MARKUP value (default = 15) when selling items to players, positive values increases the fee on the final price and negative decreases it.
```

--------------------------------

### Initialize DataTables for Items Table

Source: https://github.com/sphereserver/scripts-x/blob/main/web/base/areas.html

Initializes the DataTables jQuery plugin to display item data. It fetches data from 'items.json' and defines the columns to be displayed: name, category, subsection, and description.

```javascript
$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#table-items').DataTable({
        ajax: '../datas/items.json',
        columns: [
            { data: 'name' },
            { data: 'category' },
            { data: 'subsection' },
            { data: 'description' },
        ]
    });
});
```

--------------------------------

### Initialize DataTables for Guilds Table

Source: https://github.com/sphereserver/scripts-x/blob/main/web/outputs/guilds.html

Initializes the DataTables jQuery plugin for the guilds table. This enhances the table with features like sorting and pagination. Ensure the table has the ID 'table-guilds'.

```javascript
$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#table-guilds').DataTable({
        order: [[0, 'desc']]
    });
});
```
