Here's the thing: I forced Rakanishu (Act 1 (H) Super B) to drop a new unique. He does drop the item all the time. The thing is, I want him to drop from a set of new uniques.So I added a new line at the beginning of TreasureClassEx.txt (because putting it below the file won't work). I called it "New Uniques", Pick 1, NoDrop zero, then probability 1 for each of the seven new uniques. If I put 2 as a probability for New Uniques in Act 1 (H) Super B, Rakanishu will drop 2 from New Uniques. But, darn it, this only works when I'm using -direct -txt! When I load the normal game, Rakanishu drops from his former TC. I've set the 1st 2 items to Prob of zero. Then I tried removing the new line, and simply put the name of the new unique, played the -direct -txt, and it works fine. PLayed the normal game then it worked fine too. Does this mean that I can't add a new TC to TreasureClassEx.txt? I don't want the same unique to spawn over and over each time you kill the monster. I just want it to drop from a selection of uniques. Can anyone help me?

For your MPQ, it's safest to repack ALL the bins, not just the ones you think you need. If you are already doing this, then this is an interesting problem and VK's earlier complaints were well grounded.Also be sure you've run several tests and this is the problem. There is also a bug where any superunique has a chance of choosing BishBosh's TC instead of the proper one.

Thanks Foxbat. I'll try repacking all the .bins. Maybe I'll try a different superunique as well. I'll let you know what happens.
