editing problems

Entreri · 03-25-2001, 01:49 PM

I did try to editing items (weapons) with all file requirements but my game freeze while loading why? I only change abilities and its parameter in a current weapons and save it whith another name in the override folder.

I don't understand why it keeps freezing.

Maybe the game has a built in protection against weapon altering. It might got you and kicks you out as a punishment. Just like Diablo 2. Dont EVER mess with that game because it'll see you trough always and brings you back 2 a good ol' newbie

I remove all abilities on a magical dagger and add my own ability. 1 poison damage each second for 10 rounds and another 50% hp add with each strike (vampiric dagger)

try using just a plain dagger first. then add the poison damge. (just the poison) and try it. then try adding the other affect. then so on and so on. when it locks up. go back to the previous version. (save each version as a different file)

Are you using shadowkeeper to add these items to your inventory before loading the game?
Usually if the game is gonna crash because of an item i've edited,it'll do it when i actually equip or use the item.-I dont think my game has crashed simply because the item was in the inventory.
These are the steps i take with items FROM THE GAME:
Export to overrides folder with shadowkeeper.
Open and edit file(original).
Give new edited file a radically different name,and save to overrides folder.
Remove original file from overrides folder.
I've had many crashes which i simply cannot explain also,and it still remains a mystery to me!
....Sorry this is no concrete help but i'm sure others may have ideas.

mmmmm? So how did you do it before?

Entreri · 03-25-2001, 02:51 PM

I extract and edited the file with infinity engine item maker, but now I just follow how you did and extact and export it with shadow keeper. But now I tested it and its working vs kobolds but when I wanted to hit a Rakshasa It says immune to my damage .. I have a +4 dagger and all the ability in the file weapon seems correct to be +4. ?

Does it have +4 to hit and enchantment level?
