Well, hopefully that German-language link will help you. But if not, here is how I understand the process of making specific set items drop. Mind you, I have NOT tested this. Some people say it works and others get no results.First, to make sets drop like mad, you should put 1024 (or perhaps even 2048) in the Set column in TreasureClassEx.txt for those rows that you want to drop set items.
If the Magic, Rare and Unique columns are left blank and you have that high value in Set...the items that drop (if they are base items that appear in SetItems.txt) should drop first as sets...and thereafter as rares.
if you want a monster to drop a specific set item or set of items...for example, having a mosnter drop the long sword set item and quilted armor set item (whatever they are), you could do the same as above but also do the added steps below:
Set NoDrop to 0 (which gaurantees that something will drop...the higher NoDrop is, the more likely the monster using that row is to NOT drop anything)
Put the lsd code (the itemcode for the longsword) in the first Item column, followed by 1 in the Prob column for that item
Put qlt (the itemcode for quilted armor) in the next Item columns, followed by 1 for Prob
Then go into the Picks column and put -2, which will force the game to pick in order from left to right. Since the total probability number is 2 (0 NoDrop plus 1 for the Item 1 prob plus 1 for the Item 2 prob), that means it will pick 1 long sword and 1 quilted armor.
Theoretically, because you made the Set column for that row so high and left the other threes columns blank...the two items should be sets (unless those set items already dropped earlier in the game).
This strategy of making monsters drop specific items that will drop as sets or uniques works best for those monsters that have their very own rows in TCEX, like Griswold, Andariel, Diablo, etc.
Hope that helps. You can get much more detailed info on controlling drops in the TCEx tutorial you probably have already read.
