<font face="tempus sans itc" size=4 color=lightblue> Hello all!

Now, I have recently started making items using Infinity Engine Explorer Pro. I can make them with a reasonable skill at a speed of about two a night.

The first item I made was a Staff +5 with Flesh to Stone, Disintigrate and Wyvern Call three times per day. Powerfull! :rolleyes:

I can, for a price of nothing but gratitude, make items for BG, BGSoA, BGToB, IWD and other games. All I need is what you want in the item and anything you want in the description.

So, call in and ask for any item and I'll give it a whizz!

Thank you! [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

Sorry

(WARNING: MAY BE PUSHING THE LIMITS)

I want you to make me a familiar (For BG1). You could do it by making a spell. You could use a summon something spell as a base, and change it so it summons a panther that will stay with for as long as the spell would work.

Like I said, I may be pushing it.

FelixJaeger 07-12-2002 02:55 PM

hmmn is it possible to combine some attributes of one such item with that of another? hehe phil dyu know where to get a guide to game editing thingy majiggaz?where was i, oh yes erm because i wanted a cool helmet that would give me the effects of that ioun stone that gives u 1hp every minute (as to be fair its still using up a helmet slot) yet look good with the doomplate (that red platemail thingy).he rest? and are the mods compatible with new save games?
Felix
p.s. yes i do know i go on and on and on and on

[edit] dude ive got it i would like the abilities of the peraly white ioun stone ( regenerate 2 hp a min not one) on to the helm of baldurans frame not the actual helm (clua code is helm07 just incase ur not sure what im talking about)and if its not tooooo much trouble could i have a color change to the same red as the doomplate? thanks man.

www.teambg.com has some very good tutorials (with programs). With Infinity editor you can look up the programming codes of one thing and put it in the other item (I think, tried once to change an item but after I formatted my computer I didn't reinstall the editor and never tried again(maybe later because it's fun:)) But you should ask DJG he can get his items to work I only edited an existing one (with an error in it's stats, according to the tutorial) .

a flaming Katana +3? with the spells 'fireshield' and 'fireball'? 3x a day? [img]tongue.gif[/img] hows that for an item?

Sazerac 07-12-2002 03:23 PM

Once you learn, it *is* very easy to make new items...almost too easy, because it can unbalance the game incredibly.

I've created one item for the mod I'm working on (the NPC swashbuckler Pace)...it's the Amulet of Speed and Time. His quest is going to be tied in with the Twisted Rune (hopefully fleshing out that quest and giving some explanation for it), and the item will be obtained when the TR is razed. Anyway, among other things, it allows any character who equips it to cast "Time Stop" once per day. I'm also creating a new BAM file for it, so it will actually look like a little pocket watch or stopwatch when equipped. Yes, I'm having fun with this!

Keep up the good work, DJG! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Jorath Calar 07-12-2002 05:09 PM

That sounds very cool Saz, let us know when you finish.. [img]smile.gif[/img]

SixOfSpades 07-13-2002 12:53 AM

In case you didn't know, the traditional uniform worn by students of the martial arts is called a gi.

Several Gis I've designed, only wearable by: Kensai, Monk, Thief, Mage/Sorcerer (maybe the Shapeshifter as well, or is that kit a lost cause?)

Gi of Theft: +10% to Detect Traps, cast Knock 3x per day (loot from Anishai, the Monk in Mae'Var's Guildhouse). I may come up with a better name for this.

Gi of Meditation: +1 to WIS, wearer is immune to Charm, Confusion, Chaos, and Feeblemind (the classes that can wear gis cannot wear a Helm of Charm Protection)

Gi of Freedom: Grants Free Action while worn, wearer is immune to Sleep

Tai Kaje's Gi: +1 to all Saving Throws, wearer is immune to Fear and Level Drain (It's not right that Monks can only use the Amulet of Power against Vamps, as they shouldn't be allowed to wear it)

Wong Fei's Gi: +2 bonus to AC, +10% bonus to hitpoints, +5% Magic Resistance

Various other Gis granting elemental/physical resistances, similar to the current battery of Mage Robes

I've got loads more items if you want 'em, man! :D

DJG 07-15-2002 08:25 AM

Hey, thanks for looking everyone!

To philip:
Well, I extract the items I want using Shadowkeeper, look at them and note down any information I want to use. It is quite simple, and it doesn't take long to learn.

To Tonious:
A BG1 Familiar? Oooooh, a toughie. It might be possible, but I suppose I can extract a familiar spell from BGII and change it. You should download Shadowkeeper so you can insert the spell without using a CLUAConsole, my experiences with them and spells...... haven't been positive.

To Calaethis Dragonsbane:
A Flaming Katana +3? Sounds like an item I made for someone else. Sounds like a Celestial Fury......
I can do that very quickly, should be achievable. If you send me your E-Mail address in a PM, I could give that to you soon.

Anyway, feel free to PM me or my official helper, Gromnir. He should be posting here soon.

See ya!

<font color="gold">Time Stop once per day? Available in chapter 2? Ohh, remember to tell us when it is done... [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

DJG 07-16-2002 08:20 AM

Well, it is not really available in Chapter 2 unless you have cheated in the first place to level yourself up to a phenominal level, because as far as I know the Twisted Rune is a quest hard enough to do on it's own regardless of your level when you try and complete it. [img]smile.gif[/img] Take a breath!!!

Theoretically you can just cheat it directly into the game, but when I do something like that I try to make up a pretty good story that would allow me to do so, because it is really just spoiling the game if you cheat it directly in without a reason. [img]smile.gif[/img] Take another breath!!!

My usual reason is that it was a childhood gift from your foster father Gorion, and since he is a powerful mage, it makes sense that he can create powerful weapons! [img]smile.gif[/img] Take another breath!!!!

Anyway............ to business!

Does anyone have any new item requests......
And has anyone seen Gromnir (Not the in game one!!!) recently?

Bye for now.....

[img]graemlins/smilelazer.gif[/img]

Gromnir 07-16-2002 08:21 AM

Hi, I'm Gromnir, DJG's personal assistent. I will help him in anyway possible. Just give me a few days to download the relevent programs and then I'll be ready for business!!!

Hey Gromnir!

May I announce to everyone here that Gromnir is officially my helper......

If I am not online and he is he will take requests for items, and either make them himself or pass them on to me. I see him most weekdays.

PS Gromnir: You'll find people are very friendly here, and will give you a warm welcome.

PPS Gromnir: Here's my warm welcome.....

Willard 07-16-2002 10:04 AM

(This might be a toughie)

Well, I'm unsuccessfully trying to make a mod. I have the plot all written out, now all I have to do is get off my sorry behind and make it. However, I am not good at making items, so can you make this?:

<u>Rod of Redemption</u> (patent pending)

This rod was created by the god Mystra as a boon to the Harpers. In a very secret series of tests and quests, a powerful Harpist mage (who is also rumored as the most powerful mage in Feurun) named Elminster proved himself to the Harpers and therefore was granted this staff. It is very powerful, and only magic users (druid, cleric, mage, sorceror) can use it. It is one of Elminster's most prized posessions. It is rumored that in the battle with a powerful Zhentarim lord, Elminster dropped this staff.

Equipped Abilities: +2 to AC, +20 magic resistance
Combat Abilities: If an evil creature is struck, it must save vs. magic fire or be hit by a Flamestrike (6d8 damage)

Abilities: (1 charge)

Obliviate (not affected by magic resistance)
All enemies within a 50 foot radius under (?) hit dice die (no saving throw), all enemies (?) hit dice and over take 9d7 damage (saving throw at -3).

Abilities: (once per day)
Shapechange Winter Wolf, Wolfwere

Damage: 1d6+4, +2 fire damage, +1 cold damage
Thac0: + 4 bonus
Damage type: crushing
Weight: 4
Speed Factor: 0
Proficiency Type: staff
Type: Two-handed
Requires: 3 strength

Not usable by:
Monk
Fighter
Thief
Paladin
Ranger

<font face="tempus sans itc" size=3>To Willard:
Hello! Making that staff should prove a challenge. I have in my mind all the ways to make it, but unfortunatly I have quite a few to make first. I will devote all my time tonight (After My RE Homework! [img]smile.gif[/img] ) to clearing up my Item Backlog that builds up. That might take about...... an hour say.

As soon as it is finished I will E-Mail you the file. I am about to write a few instructions on how to get items into your game, look at that post.

PS: If that staff is any indication, that mod sounds great! After I've given you the staff, can you E-Mail me a copy, I'll beta-test it for you!</font>

Willard 07-16-2002 10:51 AM

Beta Copy? What's that? Can you eat it?

Shadowfax 07-16-2002 12:16 PM

^_^ Hmmm... sounds interesting! I'll think of something I want, because that's really nifty! Making items.... -dreams of the possiblities-

(Laughs)Quite simply, I'll test it for you, for bugs and the like!

To All:
Right now I am online and ready to take requests for items! Fire away!

FelixJaeger 07-16-2002 04:17 PM

ooh i dont have any specific requests, im just fresh out of ideas to try out ( kinda basic ones that i can find help for) so i was wondering do you have nay good not mega overpowered item ideas that i could try out?

Felix

There is that Staff +5 mentioned at the top, the description won't apply to you, but you (Since you are an Item Editor now, don't forget to add "DJG's Second Offical Helper" to your sig) or I could alter the description to suit you. Hey, do you want me to E-Mail it to you?

SixOfSpades 07-16-2002 10:31 PM

Here's a nice, simple one:

Key Ring

Works just like a Gem Bag or Scroll Case, but will only hold Keys.

[ADD:] Oooh, hey, possible Cromwell/Cespenar upgrade here with the Ring of Lock Picks. I think I'll take that idea home and think it over.[/ADD]

To Calaethis:
Your Katana is ready! I E-Mailed it you, but I am still working on the spell front. I should have the whole spell thing ready by tomorrow, that is Thursday about 6:30 GMT.

To Willard:
I have given Gromnir his first assignment. He is working on the spell "Obliviate" and the Shapechange Spells, I will work on the Staff itself. I don't have an ETA for it, but it should be ready in about five days.

To SixOfSpades:
The key bag....... Should be simple, I estimate about 3 days. Don't hold me to that SixOfSpades!

Signing off, I'll be back on about 1:00 GMT I estimate!

Gromnir 07-17-2002 06:14 AM

To Willard

I am DJG's apprentice and i will be making the spell Obliviate and the Shapechange spells. ETA 5 days but it might be a bit sooner.

Willard 07-17-2002 03:59 PM

Thanks dudes. You're really helping out, when I finish the MOD I'll add you to the credits list!

Edit: P.S.-
the MOD is called the Elminster MOD. It sorta deepens the plot of rivalry between the many different influential groups in Faerun.

hey djg man do you make npc's as well? hmmn get back to me on that would you...my dwarven party mite just exist after all...
Felix

xanderwatts 07-18-2002 01:53 PM

Feel free to use your imagination, but I am soloing as a sorceror, and could use a weapon/item that would give me bit of a leg up without overpowering me.
Thanks in advance, if you decide to help me.

FelixJaeger 07-18-2002 04:02 PM

hey xanderwatts i can help if you want(im getting taught to mod by DJG) so if you give me some main attributes of wht you want (because uve been kinda vague) so if you get backto me on that i can help yas.
Felix

xanderwatts 07-18-2002 05:40 PM

Sorry for being vague, I was on my ay out when I posted.
What would really be useful is a staff perhaps that can instantly slay undead, because wizards lack a weapon of that capabilites. Obviously it should include the normal Undead protection/s eg. immunity to level drain.
I hope this is possible, I'm very technical, really so I've never even considered making an item myself. Thanks very much.

KirrikDragonSlayer 07-18-2002 07:00 PM

I have a level 20 dwarf fighter named Kirrik Dragonslayer with
a Grand Mastery in two-handed swords(gotta love'em;) I bought
the Warblade+4 from Ribald and that has been my characters
favored weapon for a long time.But I am sorta tired of it i mean its
just a boring blade after all. . .no special fireballs or gigantic
dragons that come to back him up in a fight. . .So im going to take
you up on your offer to create a item for me.. . um. . .lets see. . .
A two-handed sword with the Holy Avengers look. . . immunity to fear and level drain while equipped, also fire shield red while equipped.. Dragons Breath(quest spell) 3 times a day.. .50% chance to cast chain lightning,75% chance to cast comet and 80% to cast flesh to stone on striking opponent and 1D12+6 damage.

Thank You very. . very much. . i really appreciate you helping
me and my pore old dwarf. .

Kirrik Dragonslayer

KirrikDragonSlayer 07-18-2002 07:10 PM

i also thought bout the AC and other stuff after i posted
the first one. . .

AC+6
Speed Factor 2
THACO +4
Damage 1D12+12
+6 Damage to Dragons
+6 Damage to Good and Neuteral Opponents
Name: Dragons Bane
Special:Fireshield Red, immunity to fear, immunity to charm
while equipped.Spellstrike every time blade makes contact with opponent,Dragons Breath (3 times a day)50% chance to cast
chain lightning on striking opponent,75% chance to cast Comet on
striking opponent and 80% chance to cast flesh to stone on striking
opponent.

KirrikDragonSlayer 07-18-2002 07:12 PM

On the second reply i said immunity to charm but i
meant level drain

thanks again!

KirrikDragonSlayer 07-18-2002 07:22 PM

O crap! i just realized there is alreayd a weapon called
"dragons bane" so thats not original. . .how bout. . .
Charons Claw . .do u think it sounds good?

PS.If anyone else has suggestions of names or ablities
just post them thnx!

Willard 07-18-2002 07:46 PM

Oh, and Gromnir-
When making the spell for the staff, that Obliviate one, make it have a lot of special effects please? I'm sorry for being a pest, but it would be cool to have a whole bunch of different special effects when you cast it. Thanks in advance!

[ 07-18-2002, 07:47 PM: Message edited by: Willard ]

Willard 07-18-2002 07:49 PM

Kirrik, what about "Holy Saviour"? Just a suggestion. Or what about "Raven's Talon"?

[ 07-18-2002, 07:51 PM: Message edited by: Willard ]

KirrikDragonSlayer 07-18-2002 08:57 PM

thanks for the suggestion but my dude is chaotic evil and
i dont think that would look good with an evil dude
weilding a holy sword. . the ravens talon thingy sounds good
but i got Charons Claw from a book with Artemis Entreri the
assasin well. . .maybe i should have the raven thing thanks!

KirrikDragonSlayer 07-18-2002 09:02 PM

o yeah and DJG i've decided that its going to be called
"Fire Talon" and if possible could u make it a flaming
sword(two-handed) with the Warblade+4 look .. not carsomyr
ne more. .. .

thanks again
