Lanterns

KCD:MP adds two items to every player’s game, a lantern and a fine lantern. A player carries one exactly like the torch: it goes in the inventory’s torch slot, the torch key raises and lowers it, it stays in the left hand beside a one-handed weapon, on foot, sprinting and in the saddle, and it is lit while it is in the hand - the lantern’s own candle with the torch’s light around the player. Every other player sees it lit in the hand.

Name	English name	Weight	Price	GUID
`kcdmp_lantern`	Lantern	1	15 Groschen	`6ac44bf4-e42a-424b-920f-81a1bdd3bc46`
`kcdmp_lantern_fancy`	Fine lantern	1	40 Groschen	`c01e755f-8bb9-4325-baaa-9694a45d48bb`

The game itself has no lantern a player can own, so neither is in the item lists - but every server knows both by name, English name and GUID, with or without the tables export:

Give, take and keep them like any item: GivePlayerItem, SetPlayerInventory and GetPlayerInventory (so a mode’s database keeps them), chests, saddlebags, pickups (CreatePickup) and the admins’ /give kcdmp_lantern. GetItemInfo answers both.
Sell them: SetShopItem with the name - the shop shows the item and its price like any other.
Make your own on one: DefineItem with base = "kcdmp_lantern" gives a lantern of your own name, text, weight and price; it is carried and lit the same way.
Light an NPC actor’s way: SetActorTorch(id, true, "lantern") (or "lantern_fancy"); GetActorLight says which light an actor holds.
Their names in your players’ language: the names and descriptions in the inventory are English. A mode words them with SetTextOverride - the keys kcdmp_ui_nm_lantern and kcdmp_ui_in_lantern (the lantern’s name and description), kcdmp_ui_nm_lantern_fancy and kcdmp_ui_in_lantern_fancy (the fine lantern’s).

-- lanterns for sale at the general trader (15 and 40 Groschen, unlimited stock), named in German for German players
SetShopItem(trader, "kcdmp_lantern", 15)
SetShopItem(trader, "kcdmp_lantern_fancy", 40)
SetTextOverride("kcdmp_ui_nm_lantern", "Laterne", "german")

-- and one for the night watch's new recruit
function OnPlayerCommandText(pid, cmd, args)
  if cmd == "enlist" then
    GivePlayerItem(pid, "kcdmp_lantern", 1)
    return true
  end
end

A player whose game could not add the two items (rare: a game update KCD:MP does not support yet) is never given one - GivePlayerItem gives that player nothing, and the server’s log says so.
