There isn't a program that will do automatically what you want done. You could download the WinBiff program to extract individual itm files for examples, or you could download Near Infinity to help with item creation.
An example--the Ring of Free Action. The file is "ring09.itm", the general icon picture is "iring09.bam", the ground icon is "gring01.bam", and the carried icon (the picture you see when you right-click on an item) is "cring09.bam". If you are at a loss for what to use, then choose "gsack01.bam" for ground icon and leave the carried icon blank (this will make no picture when you right-click on the item).

I keep a folder of generic items for use in both NI and IEEP; one generic item of each type--short sword, wand, chain mail, etc. If you like, I can zip this folder and send it to you easily enough which will save you the trouble of extracting the items yourself. Send me a private message if you would like these files.

Good luck on item creation! [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img] Have you done any spell creation yet? [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
