Hello everyone...I have...another question hehe.Is it possible to name a weapon/item whatever I want? Other than making it a set item? Such as, let's say I would like to make a sword called "The blade of the dead" is it possible? and how would I go about doing it? I have seen some special unique items in some of these mods that have names that could not have been generated from Diablos original prefix's / suffix's, thats why I am hooked on this . Also, does anyone know where I can find a list of all the Diablo 2 exp Magical Item Prefix's and Suffix's with descriptions of the color they change your item to? Thanks for all the help everyone, hopefully this is possible 8).

All the names are stored in either string.tbl, expansionstring.tbl or patchstring.tbl. You can change the names there directly.The transformscolors for the affixes are found in the column "transformcolor" in magicprefix.txt and magixcsuffix.txt. ------------------ // dectgap www.diabloii.nu

Um... make it a unique item?To do it, open up uniqueitems.txt. Add a line. Copy-paste another line, then change the abilities, base type, and name to what you want. The name needs an entry in string.tbl (or one of the other string files). Magic affixes are in magicprefix and magicsuffix.txt. There's a column called "transformcolor" in both of them. That's what controls the color change. You can find a list of color codes at the resource section of the keep. Watcher ------------------ To fail is human. Complete breakdown requires a computer.

If you just want to create a normal item (non Unique) create a type in ItemTypes.txt then create the weapon in weapons.txt and name it in String/Expansionstring.tbl (avoid new entries in patchstring as it can cause problems. Save it for overwriting old strings, like renaming things for example). You can either use normal D2 inventory gfx for your new weapon, or you can create new ones.Also you can enter new affixes and edit their properties in MagicPrefix.txt, and MagicSuffix.txt if you don't want the item to be unique and still sport the different name you want. These new entries too must be named in one of the tbl files. You can do this in RarePrefix/Suffix as well, but they have no modify parameters because Rare affixes use multiple Magic affixes.  ------------------ "Never enter a battle of wits with someone who is unarmed."
