- - Should I do some in-depth editing guides on my new site? (http://www.ironworksforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=54291)

i know teambg and the ieep, but i am still banging my head against a wall.
****i don't know this tl you mentioned several times. who or what is that?
can you please post the addy?****
also, i think any way you can expand on the basics of item creation and effects would be greatly appreciated. your suggestion of a cross reference for effects is GREAT! i know what i want it to look like, i just dont know the name of it. its hard to go thru every single thing till you find it. the frustration factor is what gets to you. if you had a step by step tutorial to make one item with one effect right off the bat, then that would be real encouragement.

thanks

Thanks for the offer but I'll make a go if it myself http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif
And thanks but I already know how to make monk kits, and I mean proper ones, nothing like the arcane fist.

Hehe, thanks...but my name has nothing to do with Vasquez....my name has a meaning in hungarian...the similarities to Vasquez are purely coincidental.

One additional thing: I think the biggest obstacle to people trying to create items/spells/effects is not knowing what the opcode/resource code for the effect they are trying to complete. Having to continually load other items to find out what the opcodes are can get frustrating (though I think ppl should persevere with this if they really want to learn. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif ). Maybe if you or someone came up with a full list of structures?

I think I've got a list that would make a good start, Memnoch. Out of 300 codes, I've got 255 of them listed. 3 columns: hex code, effect name (according to IEEP), and an item/spell that incorporates that particular opcode (for experimentation). The only problem is that I don't have a place to put the list so others may download it. Any help on this particular difficulty?

The most distressing thing about practicing magic is the fact that even the most learned sorcerers cannot accurately describe what magic *is*....

The first guide is done. On hex-editing. I started a new thread....just writing this in case u miss that one. Get the guide at my site in the editing section....check the other thread too.

And still I see no changes, all I see is racist faces, misplaced hate makes disgraced the races. We under, I wonder what it takes to make this, one better place, let's erase the wastin...
