in armor.txt there are colums called for example lshoulder, rshoulder, torso, legs, arms for each piece of body armor, in these columns you enter in a value corresponding to how you want the armor on that body part to look. 0=none, 1=leather/chain, 2=plate.

never tried it and have no idea what those cols are really for, possibly a holdover from CD2 for "upgrading" items to excep/elite versions?? but all that is handled in TCex now, and vendor upgrades are in the last few columns under NMupgrade & Hellupgrade.

Depends on what all you changed. If they are new items it could be just about anything.

Nerf it? You mean not to let an item upgrade to exceptional eltite items?

If so set all 3 to the same thing. This should tell Diablo that there are no upgrades for this item.

Is this what you wanted?

Have fun.

edit: grammical error

ok cool cause i am gonna add tons of new items and do not want them to upgrade but to drop depending on there lvl. And add a vast amount of items in the gambling section. So what do you mean set them all the same? Like make them all blank?

Sorry, bout that. I was going to give an example but forgot.

So here we go, Lets say we create a new armor with code abc, then in normocod enter abc, ubercode abc, and ultracode enter abc.

Hope this helps

Feisty Girl is dead-on correct with the 0, 1 and 2 codes for the various body locations on armor.

You can get some interesting effects...and there are so many potential combinations you can probably make tons of new armor and never repeat another setup.

But here's a bit of trivia: The code 3 also works...and what it does is make that part of your character's body invisible.

Of course, monsters can still see you just fine...but making some or most of your character's body invisible can be a cool visual effect in some cases.

Not that I know of...but I never knew about the "3" either until someone told me. I'm not sure what other numbers would do (if anything)...and I'm not sure if negative numbers do anything. But if someone wants to give it a shot and let the rest of us know...go for it.

Which transparent thing are you referring to? Feisty's reference to translusence? My reference to "invisible parts?" Or something else?
