Hello I am OnSLT, that's short for Onslaught. I am making a mod for single-player and open bnet. For my own discretions, I probably won't make it a public release. I've read all the tutorials, and almost got lost(pun not intented.)
Some of the detailed explanations of certain calculations are by far the hardest thing to understand as a beginner in mod making.
I've done one for the Classic D2, but now i'm trying one for the x-pan.There's only 3 .txt files I've been working with: ItemRatio, Misc, and TreasureClassEx.
Yep, I'm goin for a Drop Mod too.
I'm only concerned with Uniques at the moment, but I'm having some problems, i'll get to that later, I want to say what i've done/wanted so far in modding my own mod.
So far, i've only been able to get 1 unique off Unique Monsters, and low quality items from any other monster including chests.
I have got certain NPC's to sell Perfect Gems and ALL Runes for 1 Gold...Except Full Rejuvs.
Lowered the Gambling Cost for Rings and Amulets to 1 Gold.
There use to be a tutorial for every txt file, when I modded for Classic D2. I don't remember the sites I visited. I'd just like some help on the ItemRatio file, and some on the treasureclassex one.
All I'm aiming for is Unique items dropped from any monster in the game, including Bosses and Cows.
I know the Unique column in the ItemRatio should be low, i usually set all of them to 5. The other Item columns i set to 999, even Normal, i'm trying to get somewhere around 2 or 3 unique drops per monster.
Going back to the treasureclassex part, my main concern is the Picks, Unique, Prob1-10, SumProb, and Total Prob columns.
I'm trying to achieve any unique drop given at any random moment.
So basically, i'm giving myself the chance to get every unique in the game, in 1 Cow Run, or something if it's possible.
I'd appreciate any help, and of course Feel free to e-mail me if you want so, I can get right to it.
Any quick tippers, or small tidbits of help, i'll look forward to seeing here for reply's.
Thanks alot. OnSLT
