i tried searching for the post that had the valid modifiers for input and output but for some reason it can't seem to find it, it was "relatively" recent (recent for this forum, would be gone on say d2.net a long time ago)

my question is this:

i'm in the process of making a mod based around the PSX game "Vagrant Story". in this there were "workshops" which allowed you to combine pieces of armour and weapons to make new, slightly more powerful versions, and also to create better "materials". there were 7 materials in the game: Wood, Leather, Bronze, Iron, Hagane, Silver, and Damascus.

what i've done is remove ALL prefixes and ALL suffixes, and added new ones to the end of each file (no blank rows). currently i have all the material prefixes, and am thinking of ideas for suffixes.

however, VS has no vendors as such, only monsters can drop items (or can be found in chests), and the highest level material pieces are VERY rare from monsters (maybe colossus blade/thresher rare for a D2 equivalent)

what i would like to do would be able to make say, a "silver" pair of boots combine with a "hagane" pair of boots to create a "damascus" pair of boots, but i'm unsure as to whether the "pre=#" mod works for INPUT columns. Also, if i put "usetype,pre=#" as output, what column does it take the "usetype" from? is it as simple as just input1?

one final question, not cube related, is it possible to make vendors NOT sell items that have certain prefixes (i.e. my damascus weapons/armour) but have them still drop from monsters/chests, and be created in the cube?

thanks in advance,

Fuzzbox

Cool ideas, but I never tried using the "pre=" code for inputs and outputs. I've been searching for code file to but no evail.

I'm talking about the pre= code, the rest of the codes and recipe making is easy(I have made about 100 more cube recipes in my mod).

i changed arround most of the quest recipes, made it almost impossible to get to cow lvl (or Oblivion as it will be called)

the pre= uses the number or the group number of a prefix suf= uses the number or group number of a suffix.
