I know a lot of you are trying to mod your own campaigns and getting stuck because the file structure is... unique. It’s basically the game's internal memory dumped into an XML format, so it’s not exactly user-friendly.

I’m going to break down Stage 1 (story01) to explain what’s actually happening under the hood. If you can understand this file, you can pretty much build anything.

The Basics (The Tags)
Before we look at the code, here is a quick cheat sheet for the tags you’ll see most often. The engine reads these sequentially.

<bar>
This represents a "Section" or a "Scene" of the stage. The game plays one bar at a time. It won't move to the next bar until the current one is finished (usually when all enemies are dead or a cutscene ends).

<drama>
Triggers "Cutscene Mode." It disables player controls and executes a script.

<obj>
Gameplay objects. This is how you spawn enemies, items, or allies during actual combat.

<a>
Action. Used inside cutscenes to make things happen (move, talk, animate).

<c>
Command State. This overrides the AI.
  • -2: Stop/Idle.
  • -3: Move to specific coordinates.
1. Stage Setup
At the top of the file, you’ll see the first <bar>. This initializes the map.

XML

<bar>
    <bg>
        <bgid>story01</bgid> 
        <x>1700</x>
        <z>800</z>
    </bg>
    <left>0</left>
    <right>9000</right>
    <effect>showTitle</effect>
</bar>

Important: The x and z here are for the camera, not the player. If you set these to 0, the camera might start off the map (since the map art usually starts around x=1000 or x=2000).

2. Cutscene Logic (<drama>)
This is the part that usually trips people up. The nesting here is strict.

XML

<drama>
    <state>start</state>
    
    <o>
        <s>drew</s>
        <id>drew</id>
        <x>390</x> <z>980</z>
    </o>

    <a>
        <a>
            <id>z_villager01</id>
            <ac>drama_lie2</ac> 
        </a>
    </a>
    
    <a>
        <t>
            <s>lucas</s>
            <en>It's been over a month now...</en>
            <i>10</i> 
        </t>
    </a>
</drama>

Two things to note here:

Nesting: The outer <a> tags define the sequence. The inner tags define what happens during that step. If you put multiple actions inside one outer <a>, they happen simultaneously.

<s> vs <id>: <s> is just a nickname for the script to use. <id> is the actual character being loaded.

3. Combat Spawns (<obj>)
Once the <drama> block ends, we usually switch to gameplay.

XML

<bar>
    <left>0</left> <right>6000</right>
    
    <obj>
        <id>z_bandit01</id>
        <times>2</times>
        <ratio>1</ratio>
    </obj>
    
    <obj>
        <id>z_villager01</id>
        <times>10</times>
        <toHire/>
        <x>1400</x>
        <z>800</z>
    </obj>
</bar>

If you use <toHire/>, make sure you specify the x and z coordinates. If you don't, they default to 0,0, and you'll never see them.

4. Movement Logic (The <c> tag)
In the ending cutscene of Stage 1, you see Giggs running away. That uses the <c>-3 command.

XML

<o>
    <id>giggs</id>
    <c>-3</c>
    <x>22000</x>
    <z>810</z>
</o>

Common Validator Error: If you set <c>-3 but forget the <x> or <z>, the game crashes because the character tries to run to a null location.

Common Pitfalls
Here are the most common mistakes people make:

The <hide> tags: You’ll see these at the start of the file wrapping z_infantry01. This is commented-out code. If you edit anything inside <hide>...</hide>, it won't show up in the game.

Deleting Line IDs (<i>): Inside the dialogue <t> tags, there is a number like <i>10</i>. Do not delete this. The game uses it for syncing and lookups.

Boss Groups: If you look at the Giggs fight, his minions have <bossGrp>1</bossGrp>. This links them to Giggs' HP bar. If you don't link them, the stage might not end correctly when the boss dies.

回坑後發現有些在貼吧的好文都被吞掉，ztage原有官方論壇消失了。

唯一找到剩下的教學文只有這篇......
https://lf-empire.de/ztage_backup/ztage....34&t=13403

現階段褚英實戰時，基本只用到平A/跳攻/反身沖跳攻/沖跳攻/霸王沖鋒+跑攻，其他招式反而較少用到。

比如跳攻後的纏身鎖，不一定可以每次都連得起來，反而跳攻後接幾下平A更順暢。

轟天拳如果能發揮得當，的確可以十分強大。但由於預備時間過長，發揮的空間頗有限.... 一般在有掩護的場合會比較好....

在沒有掩護/肉盾的場合下，收拳後破綻百出，若沒有打到後面弓手/飛刀手就一瞬間被反攻

對付<6名騎兵時，還可以往後跳再發轟天拳。相比之下烈風鑽雖然威力頗有不如，但發招更快更靈活，轟天拳有點華而不實的感覺.....

霸王沖鋒基本是褚英最實用旳技能??目前在用纏身鎖前，都用霸王沖鋒才可以增加抓人成功率。

請問各位有練好褚英的方法或用褚英的心得?? 我用轟天拳/纏身鎖總是感覺用不好... 

另外想用褚英打究極第六話打三巨頭，可以有什麼辦法? 尤其冰森招式感覺褚英難以突破]]>
