1. I want the "pierce" modifier to show chance to pierce. How is this done? Is the answer as simple as string editing? 2. Can mods like fast cast, IAS, and the like that are usually entered with same min and max value be used with different min and max? And will the game spawn a random whole number within the range, or only a multiple of 10 or something?Thanks in advance. Watcher

1. no, this would require h@cking of internal files, with string editing you can only change the constat value (like 20% freeze) the constat value for this string is % freeze wile 20 is generated. 2. yes you can make a item have 1-10% etc speed the game will spawn a value between them.------------------ Ňëƒąřİű§ Official Modding since v1.02!!!

I see. Too bad, I just made piercing an inherent property of bows, and then I can't see how good it is. Stinky... Thanks for the answers. BTW, anyone knows how to make the pierce value show up (by editing some internal files)?Watcher ------------------ "See you in the next Hell, sucker!" --Al Stark in The Wonderland Gambit

i think doing this would require more then even .dll editing and editing the games engine would be illegal, but how ever you can change the string to say 50% pierc and make all affixes that add priece give 50%.------------------ Ňëƒąřİű§ Official Modding since v1.02!!!

editing .dlls is not really as illegal as changing eg: game.exe if you edit the .dlls you edit the source code but blind since you dont know the base source code.------------------ Ňëƒąřİű§ Official Modding since v1.02!!! ǾƒƒīçĺǎĻ МơÞÞ¦ħĝ §¡Nčē Λŀθ2 ------------------ XyRAXv21.00B Coming Soon!

So actually all D1 modding was illegal? (no patch.mpq; all changes were done directly into the exe) ------------------ To practice the Arts of Modding is to be Damned. To master Them is to be Victorious. -D1 manual

MORE than .dll editing... Okay, I'm giving up. Too bad, the idea was to have a random chance of piercing. Oh well, we can't always get what we want.Watcher ------------------ "See you in the next Hell, sucker!" --Al Stark in The Wonderland Gambit
