Jester...you mentioned the socket problem in another thread as well. You can use automagic.txt to create a row in which the sole power would be to give 6 socketsYou would put sock for the magic code and then 6 in each of the three columns that follows (param, min and max) In armor.txt or weapons.txt, you would go to the auto prefix or auto magic or whatever the heck the column is and give it the number you assigned to that row as the automagic number (I recommend following what was already started in automagic.txt and have the number be one up from the previous group...so if the group of powers above uses the number 310, give 311 to your row (or group of rows) that do socketing. Examine the automagic.txt file and look at armor and weapons that have automagic group numbers in the armor.txt and weapons.txt files (like the matriarch bow, necro heads, etc.) ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else.

Well the row (or rows) would be created in automagic.txt.This is where the socketing magic code and other relevant info will go (including a three-digit number beginning with 3 to identify this row or group of rows that hasn't already been used in the automagic.txt file (currently, the highest number used in the file is 305. So this row [or rows] involving socketing would probably use 306). If you examine the file and what's in there, and how it is applied to the class-specific items like matriarch bows and necro heads, you should get the general idea. Now, if you're talking about what to put in weapons.txt and/or armor.txt for a given item, that goes in a column, not a row. The column in question is autoprefix, which is column T in armor.txt and AI in weapons.txt. Just compare the weapons.txt (or armor.txt depending on what items you are modding)...specifically those items that use auto prefix numbers...to the entries in automagic.txt and you will see how the two connect. This is actually one of the easier connections between files to figure out. I avoided automagic for weeks and then when I finally looked at how it related to weapons.txt and armor.txt, it was a piece of cake to make it do what I wanted. Check back here if you have any specific problems or questions. ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else. He is only brave five minutes longer."

For your helmet, if the row in itemtypes.txt that handles helmets only has 3 sockets, you will only get three max.You need to change the socket number in both files (armor.txt and itemtypes.txt). Same with weapons...both files have to be changed. Remember that there are three socket columns in itemtypes.txt...based on the level of the item. As for jewels, you have to understand that like a magic item, they pull affixes from the magicprefix.txt file and magicsuffix.txt file. If you look at those files, you will see that certain affixes are set to work on certain items...including jewels. You can add the jewel itemcode to a row that doesn't already have it, and if you create new affixs rows in either file, you can set it to apply to jewels. ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else.

I think there is a cap on certain stats. For example thorns will not go higher than 127, and ltng-thorns only 31. Life drain cannot go higher (lower) than -30. So I doubt that multi thousand defense armor affixes will work.------------- Skill of the Day: Seismic Snare 'Trap that causes earthquakes' Item of the Day: Spectral Scepter of the Specter Screw-Up of the Day: 90% level 3 Volcano on striking LoD Inferno deadline: Dec 2 [This message has been edited by Myokai (edited 21 November 2001).]
