Appearances Can be Deceiving - Page 2

Or you could just splash out for the bracers of AC3 and be done with it..

Did you download the VB6 (I think) runtime componets, because you need to have them and some other little misc files to get IEEP to run..

But after that it's one of the easyest to use (not the best for all thing's but dead easy)..

You might also want to try and get winbif or somthing simmilar so you can half inch bam's from other IE games and so on... But that's more than you wanted anyway..

Yay. I downloaded VB6 and it works now (not perfectly mind).

Thanks for all the help guys, I appreciate it.

can i hijack (expand) this thread sligthly to ask if one of the same tools could be used to remove the 'make all of your characters clothes and armour go grey' effect from the spell 'stoneskin' (and ironskins)

?

Short answer yes.

Longer answer, maybe.. It depend's how the spell was implimented, editing a spell is difrrent from an item' but only in that it's just a diffrent inerface tab.

I would imagine so. If I'm correct, this is how it would go... Find out the number for Stoneskin (or Iron Skins) however you will (I use ShadowKeeper as a reference for that)... Get the file out with WinBiff... Edit the spell (I use IEEP) and remove any references to color changing/alteration... And save the spell (don't change the name) in the Override folder. That sounds like it should work to me. I'll test it later.

thanks folks - i find the stoneskin grey upsetting when i've chosen my colours so carefully [img]smile.gif[/img]

perhaps i'll get round to checking out the editors then (and again all the things i've been putting off doing in real life slide further and further away . . . )

Illumina Drathiran'ar · 01-20-2005, 12:16 PM

Hm... I manually took out every mention of Character Colorization in the spell... so either just putting it in Override doesn't override an existing spell without doing something else, or it's embedded into the Stoneskin effect... in which case, it might be beyond me at this point. I'll try again and get back to you later.

Even easyer, use shadowkeeper to extract the file directly from the stoneskin's spell..

then you don't have to use winbif's search, which can be a little tricky if you don't know what your doing.
