ok, i created a class specific ring for the sorc, its in the game, it drops, and it does pretty much what i want, but heres the prob, it has no magic or rare mods ever, i know why too, its not listed in the magic prefix or suffix txt's.. what i want to do tho is make class specific rings for all classes, and theres simply not enough room to add 7 item types to each mod i want on the rings... is there a way for me to keep these items class specific with plus to skills for their classes, and also make them have the same magic/rare mods as normal rings? right now the ring is in misc.txt, and its a completely new item class, i gess what i need to do is make it somesorta subclass... any help would be great

IIRC, in itemtypes.txt you can set both the specific type for example "ashd" the pally shields and the general type "shld" shields. I don't remember exactly what columns you need to use but if you look I'm sure you can find them. Just enter "ring" in the column for a general item type. Then any affix that currently spawns on rings would be able to also spawn on your class rings.

Another good way to do might be to add the class rings to automagic.txt... but I'm not sure if there's an automagic column in misc.txt

(sucks trying to give mod advice from memory )

lol, it worked, thnx for the tip, i probally wouldn't have even thought about using those columns for a long time ... tho the fact that there is no automagic in the misc txt does concern me... i think i'll try and move the ring to the armor page, see if that will work

No, misc.txt doesn't have the automagic (suto prefix) columns. You could simply put an entry in itemtypes.txt's staffmod column to add skills. Want automagics on rings? I guess I'll try that out too.

I created a little referance guide I think is pretty good.

It can be found at http://home.earthlink.net/~dlieneke/itemtypenotes.txt.

It basically gives what it is accepted in each column, the valid codes, and then gives the main types and subtypes.

Have fun modding

Edit: Yes you can set ring, ammy, jewels in armor or weapons.txt, just need to remember to turn off the approiate columns(min max dmg, min max def, etc.) in either file.
