You know.....this reminds me of my advance tax class, at the end, the prof would go, "Questions, comments, complains, b*tches, and/or cries of anguish?" while the whole class was stunned because we still don't know what an estate holding freeze it.......

Seriously, I don't have IEEP with me and the only thing I know to do is create items with it. Did you try the 3D download link I posted couple of days ago, they might have what you want. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...les/tongue.gif

I was just thinking about editing that file type too, I'll try to find something because some of the existing EFF files are pretty good, and would be better with a little enhancing... http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...smiles/elf.gif

Accord 04-03-2001 01:42 AM

Check out items like Daystar or Holy Avenger, the can give you an idea of damage adjustment on certain creatures, and you can use that as a basis.

ok, this crap is liek this:
I am trying to add "equiping effect" to MY items, and it gives me run time error saying "Object variable or With Block is not set"

but if I add effect to game items, then everything goes fine

also, my items worked perfectly with older version of IEEP.... shouldnt of installed the newest one, crap

Accord 04-03-2001 01:57 AM

Just take it out and reinstall the old one, I am using 1.05 at home, not 1.07.
But check the property and the variable you set on the 2nd screen of the item property.....I'm not very good at explaining stuff, am I? http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...les/tongue.gif

?? explain a bit please?

250 04-03-2001 02:05 AM

thank god, i can still dl the older version...

look, if this one starts bitching me, then i am gonna quit! not quit quit, but quit for now until i get my own computer!! or i am gonna learn how to hack and break the damn password!!

any pro here?? I am using WINNT system, anyone knows how to break into system?

Accord 04-03-2001 02:06 AM

I am doing this based on my memory:
>
>
>
When you add a new parameter to an item, a new screen will be prompted to you.......and you can add stuff like effect on who (e.g. pre-target, self), and effect when (e.g. while equiped, permenant ... etc), there should be couple of buttons at the bottom of that box. If you click one of them that says something like "edit parameters" you will get a second window. The window will let you set more specific parameters like what kind of damage (fire, cold, magic fire ... etc) or other things depending on the nature of the parameter (like special affecting specific enemy types, like golem and stuff), the other box at this 2nd screen tells you what magnitude of the effect and stuff.
There!! Clear as mud? http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...les/tongue.gif

Hmmmm.....The only effect I know is by while "equiped", which I am sure you know already......What other options did that give you on the parameter? A similar effect is done by "invisibility spell" since everytime you attack it wears off, and you have to reequip the item to go invisible again.

yeah the problem with alot of those realy special effects like extra damage to evil or what ever are all controlled by those damn eff files. i'm not even sure where they are located. once i had some i might be able to figure out how to edit them with or without an editor. can you make new eff's and call them from the overide folder

Yeah, I think you can, there are items with special overidding graphics file or sound file. I think the same concept can be applied to EFFs.
