I tried creating anew rune today. When I loaded tried to mouse over the rune I got an error. (I tried to buy it from Charsi.)

I added additional rxx and rxxL lines to patchstring.tbl

and added them in the gems.txt and misc.txt.

I don't know why it doesn't work. Anyone else try this yet?

Usually, a mouseover crash means that you messed up on the magic tag(s) you put on the rune. Either you set the values wrong, you mistyped the magic code, or you put a magic code there that does not work with gems/runes.

I ran into problems when I had negative values. The higher value must go in the max column. Therefore, if the penalty is -1 to -10, the -10 is the min value (being lower) while the -1 is the max value. The natural inclination is to do it the other way, of course, because we are used to doing things like 1-10 or 5-20 or whatever.

Please fill us in on what you gave this rune in terms of magic code(s) and what values you gave those codes, as well as what you put in the param, min and max columns.

I am not sure what I did. I deleted ther files. I tried making too many at once.

I will try it again though.

I think I put the exact same values in each slot so it should not have mattered

I did try making the rune do something never done before. An on hit skill and an on-att skill.

they were, Teeth lv10 20% and static field 10 20% on gethit. Static field works on attacking I know that for sure, but not sure about on getting hit. Should work though.

Weapons were teeth, armor/shield/helms were statioc field.

... Even if I did invert the values... it should have worked

It was probably one of the "hit" skill affixes...those things can be really tricky. Do them only one or two at a time so you can track them down better. They cause me no end of troubles.
