I'm looking for some info on the hirelings.txt...I specifically want to do a few things. I have made a "boost 300" leveler which grants a max level of 300 at 2-3 times the normal rate (just for testing things), but my hirelings don't do so swell, heh...I have opened up the hirelings.txt, but don't really see what I should change so that my hirelings level somewhat faster. Do I need to drop the exp/lvl? Also, is there a listing of skills names somewhere? As I am looking into this more and more, I'm wondering if I can add skills, ie. Guided Arrow to a Rogue (It seems like the columns are there for using...Thanks for any help.

Does anyone have any info on this? I can't seem to find anything on modding the hirelings. I'll keep looking, but any help would be appreciated.

Yep, dec exp/lvl by half and see how that does, then you can fine tune the exp/lvl to get them to stay near your lvl.If you already have a hireling than this will cause said hireling to jump quite a few levels (maybe even ahead of your level). Hope this helps ------------------ Go Rams

I have decreased the exp/level and will test that. The further I go with this, the more questions I have. I tried adding a second weapon to my rogue, the xbow, trying to give flexibility. Unless I have missed something, it doesn't work. I added "xbow" under the weap2 column, but I still can't equip a crossbow with the rogue. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

There were a number of threads a few months back on weapons for hirelings (and skills and a lot of other tidbits). Weapons are hardcoded, from all the experiences people have had.
