NEXPACE-Limited maple-make Skill
Loads the MapleStory data reference library under references/ to provide complete knowledge on how MapleStory assets are structured and composed — sprite rendering, socket assembly, mob/NPC/skill/map data structures.
Entry Point
Always start with references/maple-data-reference.md. It is the index that maps every domain to the correct resource file. Do not load resource files directly without consulting the entry point first.
Resource Map
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| maple-data-reference.md | ENTRY POINT — Quick Rules, ID formulas, reference map |
| maple-core-rendering.md | CDN, flip rules, draw formula, Phaser integration |
| maple-core-folder-guide.md | data/ directory structure, file naming conventions |
| maple-core-id-system.md | ID-to-file resolution rules |
| maple-core-id-reference.md | Weapon types, job tree, body part slots, skill grades |
| maple-core-items.md | Item overview |
| maple-core-items-reference.md | Item ID reference |
| maple-character-rendering.md | Character socket assembly (multi-part equip) |
| maple-character-skill-system.md | Skill definitions, damage formulas |
| maple-character-skill-reference.md | Skill ID reference |
| maple-character-morph-structure.md | Morph sprite structure |
| maple-character-tamingmob-structure.md | TamingMob (mount) structure |
| maple-character-install-structure.md | Install item structure |
| maple-field-map.md | Map background & platform structure |
| maple-field-reactor-structure.md | Reactor sprite structure |
| maple-npc-structure.md | NPC sprite structure |
| maple-pet-structure.md | Pet sprite structure |
| maple-mob-structure.md | Mob sprite & stat structure |
| maple-mob-boss-{name}-structure.md | Per-boss sprite & attack structure (19 bosses) |
Workflow
1. Read the entry point
references/maple-data-reference.md
This gives you the Quick Rules table (ID formulas, draw formulas, socket formulas) and the Reference Map that tells you which resource file to load for each domain.
2. Load on demand
Only load the resource files relevant to the current task. Use the Reference Map in maple-data-reference.md as the selector:
| Task | Load |
|---|---|
| Any sprite rendering | maple-core-rendering.md — always, for all entity types |
| Character with equipment | maple-character-rendering.md |
| Map / background | maple-field-map.md, maple-core-folder-guide.md |
| Mob | maple-mob-structure.md |
| NPC | maple-npc-structure.md |
| Skill | maple-character-skill-system.md |
| Boss | maple-mob-boss-{name}-structure.md |
| ID resolution | maple-core-id-system.md, maple-core-id-reference.md |
When a task clearly spans multiple domains, scan all resource file frontmatter descriptions first, then select files to full-load.
3. Apply the knowledge
Use the loaded references to:
- Resolve asset file paths from IDs
- Apply origin-based draw positioning and flip rules
- Assemble character socket chains
- Parse mob/skill/map JSON structure
- Integrate with Phaser 3 (via maple-core-rendering.md)
Key Rules (from entry point)
| Rule | Formula |
|---|---|
| Draw position | draw_x = world_x - origin.x / draw_y = world_y - origin.y |
| Flip anchor | anchorX = flip ? (width - origin.x) : origin.x |
| Socket (no flip) | childOriginWorld = parentOriginWorld + parentSocket - childSocket |
| Socket (flip) | childOriginWorld.x = parentOriginWorld.x - parentSocket.x + childSocket.x |
| Sprite direction | All sprites face LEFT by default — flip explicitly to face right |
| CDN base | https://resource-static.msu.io/data/ |
Constraints
- Never hardcode asset paths — always derive from resource files and ID formulas
- Never skip maple-core-rendering.md when writing any draw/flip/socket code
- Never reference files outside
references/for data structure knowledge - Do not load all resource files at once — load on demand based on the task
