Im adding pictures for unique items that dont have a unique invfile, like Bone Flesh palte mail.Im havind the following problems:
*some of these unique items that dont have their own invfile are set to have the normal invfile. but colored. for example, the unique gothic plate its a purple normal gothic plate. When i add the unique invfile, its color is changed at the same way. How do i fix this and in which files?
*this is not a problem of mine, but the file
armor001.dc6 of phrozen keep itempackage its with problems. Im telling this just for warn the authors
*Please, somebody answer this question at full: How do i see the files, in which mpq, and how i would replace unused monters?
*i have a lot of rings and amulets files. how do i set them for use with the other 3 existing ones?

1) In uniqueitem.txt, there is a column called "transformcolor." The number in there tells the game what color to use onthe base item used by the unique item.Change it to something you like better. To find out what the numbers mean, go to our home page, click on "Resources" and find the Color Guide in the "Code Lists" section.

2) You might want to be more specific about the problem with armor001.dc6 so that maybe I can get it fixed one day.

3) Go to tutorials and read the ones on changing monster graphics...that will be a good start.

4) In ItemTypes.txt, the rings and amulets have columns for the multiple "variable" graphics the game chooses from among. Add your new item names in the appropriate columns. But also remember to change the number to the left of those columns. If you have three graphics in there, the number to the left of those columns would be 3. If four graphics, 4. You get the idea...it's the "total" number.

5) Use the "Search" function on the forums. I haven't done this kind of work before, but people were asking about changing music files a lot a month or two ago.

A totally transparent area (invisible item) means usually:

1) that you mistyped the name in the invfile column
2) didn't save the item gfx to the proper path in the patch file
3) that it's not a .dc6 file like it should be.

"*how do i edit the mercenaries name?"

Get Baron Darkstorm's Table Editor and check patchstring.tbl and edit the names.

"*is something wrong in converting bmp to dc6 using dc6maker?"

Just use dc6con, it's easier.

"*can i create something like a install txt for use with dc6con? it would save a lot of time..."

Not sure what you are talking about here, the process of using dc6con to convert image types is very straight forward. Read the Readme that comes with it.
