Annex A - Calculation of affixes available for item - by
Terms
alvl = affix level. For an item this is the level that is used to
compare to the level and max level as found in the prefix and suffix
tables. When referring to a prefix/suffix it is the value listed in the
level column.
ilvl = internal level (also referred to sometimes as the item
level; better yet item creation level). This value is set at the time
of an items creation. For monster drops the ilvl=mlvl. (BTW ilvl
matches up with the terminology of the 1.07/1.08
cubemain.txt---'itemlevel pct a')
mlvl = monster level.
clvl = character level.
qlvl = quality level. This value is found in the level column of
armor.txt, weapons.txt and misc.txt. This is the value that is used to
create the weapXX and armoXX treasure classes.
magic_lvl = magic level bonus on some items. Currently the only
ones that have this are wands (normal and exceptional, but not the
elite ones), staves, orbs (all with a value of 1) and circlets
(circlet=3, Coronet=8, Tiara=13, Diadem=1.
When an item is generated that has affixes the alvl is calculated* from ilvl and qlvl as follows
If (ilvl>99) then {ilvl=99}
if (qlvl>ilvl) then {ilvl=qlvl} ;** see note below
if (magic_lvl>0) then {alvl=ilvl+magic_lvl}
else
{
if (ilvl<(99-qlvl/2))
then {alvl=ilvl-qlvl/2}
else {alvl=2*ilvl-99}
}
If (alvl>99) then {alvl=99}

*all calculations use integers so there are no fractions at any step.
** this new ilvl value is only used for the duration of this
calculation. The ilvl value that is stored in the items data file will
remain unchanged.
