year check out itemtyps.txt there are 3 columns "MaxSock1", "MaxSock25" and "MaxSock40" which defines the max amount of sockets in an item type. MaxSock1 is for char lvl 1-24 MaxSock25 is for char lvl 25-39 and MaxSock40 is for the rest of itso i think you have tested it on a lvl 1-24 char right? try a lvl 40+ char to get 6 sockets [This message has been edited by KieferHub (edited 13 January 2002).]

And as for gorothon, just edit the MaxSock1 column and put a 6 there(you can edit the MaxSock25 and MaxSock40 also if you want), then go to armor.txt and type in the max amount of sockets and it should work. ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Well, since the sockets dropped is random, you will need to spawn multiple armors to actually spawn 6 sockets(since the game can choose to give you 1 socket, 2 sockets, 3 sockets, etc).------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

gorothon...you can make a simple cube recipe to socket items up to their max. make one recipe for armor and another one for weapons... Let's say you want it to be perfect gem + item = 6 sockets. armor recipe inputs: armo gem4 weapon recipe inputs: weap gem4 in both cases, the output would be one of the following: usetype,sock=6 (this will cause magic, rare, set and unique items to lose their powers or have them "re-rolled") OR useitem,sock=6 (which will give you the sockets and preserve all the powers) Otherwise, you will just get the random socket generation and it might take forever to get six. Remember that the game still will only give you the maximum sockets set for the item in armor.txt, weapons.txt and itemtypes.txt. ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else.

Even though it might take awhile maybe random is a good thing cause I have all vendors, gheed, lysander, ormus,jamella selling runes to fill those sockets so I will let it drop more randomly.As for cube recipes I tried serveral and read the tuturials and I am really doing something wrong so I am leaving cube recipes alone!! However in my next mod maybe I will make more cube recipes I will learn it.Just giving up on it for now on my Flashback mod!!!!------------------ One of many Butcher you will face in my mod becareful!!If you r just starting out don't face him alone or at all or u will be sorry!!!FLASHBACK MOD Coming soon!!!!

Cube recipes are very straight forward. I suggest you read carefully the tutorial, not just look at it.  ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Let me ask you this, do the socket numbers have to match up in all the files? Could I have all the items in itemtypes.txt set to six, and have the max numbers of sockets in armor.txt and weapons.txt set to how many I really want in the item?------------------ "Baby, the other other white meat.

I would say they do have to match up, otherwise you might not find/get one all the time. Anyways to help you out on the Cube recipe for 6 socketed armor. I'm actually looking at Wraith's D2-ICE mod here, it's only 4 DIRECT files, cubemain, armor, weapons, and misc txt files.Anyway here's an example of how to make 6 socket armor with the Cubemain.txt file: 1.Set the Enabled col to 1 2.Set the version col to 0(zero) 3.Set the NumInputs col to 2 4.Set the Input1 col to "any,armo" 5.Set the Input2 col to "gems,qty=1" 6.Set the Output col to "useitem,sock=6" 7.Set the Term(last) col to 0(zero) That's all, just Put in a piece of armor, with a perf Gem, and voila you should have it, or if your using Magic, Unique item as the armor, and WANT a BASE item for a Runeword, then change step 6 to "usetype,sock=6" For Weapons just change step 4 to: "any,weap" It's alot easier to get it done in the cube, then have one spawn..all ya have to do is get the armor or weapon ya want to transmute. Yes you will have to make sure Weapons, Armor, and Itemtypes txt files will allow 6 sockets. Whew, hope that helps.

"My definition of looking is reading DUH LOL!!!!"That doesn't make sense, so you think just looking at a tutorial is reading it. You need to read it carefully man. I mean, not to insult you but there are tutorials here that clearly tell you what to do, there are tutorials that tell you what each column means and yet, when part of it doesn't make sense to you(the very basic understanable stuff from the tutorials), you say that you will not read the tutorial because it's too long and a waste of time. Then you say you aren't going to include that whole part in your mod. I mean, if you don't know how to do the very basic things and basically leave out the creative parts like the cube recipes, what would be attracting in your mod that other mods don't have. Your mod is very limited because you don't want to read the tutorials very carefully, then you ask questions many many times that are answered in multiple questions and multiple posts/threads and when you don't understand it, you give it up. It gets quite frustrating when we answer the questions multiple times to you and you still post the same question the next day.*sigh* Didn't you say that you will try harder and expirement more before you come and ask questions because it seems you are going back to the way you were before. Many of the columns are very self explanatory and just need a little test to confirm it is the correct column. One example was the thread you made saying you searched the whole file for the unique graphic file and you couldn't find it when the column was uniqueinvfile. I'm sorry to say but the act of modding is for those that are passionate about it and are willing to expirement on their own with a few variables to figure out some stuff. Then when it's really pulling out your hair, then you post a question. Didn't we go over this before? Edit: And stop using multiple exclamation marks on every sentence you make, it sounds like you are yelling at us.  ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage [This message has been edited by Apocalypse Demon (edited 14 January 2002).]

The bickering is to get you more ambitious, to get you to do things by yourself SO you actually do them. I strongly suggest you add cube recipes to your mod because that is one of the most interesting parts of a mod, the cube recipes. ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

yes, you can...and you should. I have all weapons and armor in itemtypes.txt set to have six sockets. I do this because I never know when I might create an item that would need them. Maybe I would make a really tall six-socket helm one day. Saves trouble later on by setting them high in itemtypes to begin with. As long as your values in armor.txt and weapons.txt don't exceed the values in itemtypes.txt, you should be fine. In fact, I'm not even sure that would mess you up.  ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else. He is only brave five minutes longer."

gorothan, I don't have a link but, a good way to understand is to look at how the current cube recipes are organized and work with what you see to develop your own.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

What do you mean you don't know where they are located. Go to cubemain.txt, and look at how the other cube recipes are organized. Study it to see how some of them work, then make some of your own while referring to the code of the already made recipes for reference.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Thanks Jeff! I would just do it and try it, but I am at work when I am on the board so it is kind of hard for me to try something since I don't have the game loaded here. It is nice to be able to make changes to my game here and then go home and play them.  ------------------ "Baby, the other other white meat. Baby, It's what's for dinner."
