ok i decided to make a nice simple longsword(for now anyway) and for the life of me i cant find out what you do with the <font color=00ff00>Icon References</font color=00ff00> im using infinity engines item maker btw. so any help would be useful.
cheers,
Felix

Aaargh cant ne1 help me? am i guessing its the same codes as the ones in the item bank over at PlanetBaldursGate?
Felix

There are three of them. This is what they are:

Inventory - what icon your weapon will have in your inventory screens. This will always start with an I. Your best bet is to find an existing item using Shadowkeeper and look for an icon you like (or use the item bank and put an I in front of the code).

Ground - what your item will look like on the ground. You are limited to a few choices here - it will either look like a sword, an axe, a hammer, a piece of armor, etc. Check what the basic weapon types have or use Shadowkeeper.

Description icon - what your icon will look like in the description screen. Again, use an existing weapon's description.

Destroyed - as above, except for destroyed status.

Your best bet, rather than starting from scratch, is really to open up an existing magic sword (you can use Shadowkeeper to export the .itm file into your override so you can then open it using IEEP). That way all the details are already there, you are just modifying them.

good idea man, cept one problemo where do you get that shadowkeeper thingy?
Felix

That's ok

PS can you use shadowkeeper etc. with a minimum install?

minimum install? u mean on the game? yeh probly.
Felix
p.s. only because my DS mod making thing worked on min install dont mean that this necessarily will...

If it's in the override folder I think you can use Shadowkeeper.
Load your save game, select a character, go to inventory, click on weapon change item, search your item in the list and assign it to your character.

hmmn i just found out it doesnt have a use icon whatever that is!does that make any difference? and what the hell does it mean?
Felix

Hello!

I have an "Item Making For You" thread on this forum, feel free to go there if you ever need help. PM me if you need specific help.

Anyway, for your current problem......

The way I do it is I assign it a name that is easy to remember. Like my name and the item, "danring" for example. Then I enable the cheats. Check the cheats/hacks section of the main site. Then I pull up the cheat menu....... (CTRL + Space) and type in.......

CLUAConsole:CreateItem("danring").

Where "danring" is (Make Sure to include quotation marks) replace it with the name you assigned it when you saved. Make sure to save it in the Override folder.

This might be a bit confusing for you. If it is, PM me and I will try and simplify it.

You're Welcome!
