Looking at D6Item.dat in the MS-Dos Edit command shows 857 items, each listed in a sequence of 284 characters. Now a few of these "items" are kicks and punches?!

For any looking for Hex Codes on Items - I only have a limited list of my own and I no longer have the game on my machine so I can't easily ferret around to find codes.

IF you have saved games in which you did have the item in your inventory you should be able to ferret that information out by looking at your saved file in Hex-Ed. Then it would be a matter of writting down the code and following my instructions for hacking an item as described on the previous page of this thread.

Sorry to have missed any requests! If you want to know if I do have a code for some item you're seeking you are btter off sending me a private message. I never even noticed that there had been additions to this thread Don't know why either since I am here every day.

I can totally take the whole thing apart, I am quite good at hex - editing. Normally in a case like this I would open Hexplorer, then use the Export command to create a file containing the hex translations of the ASCII characters. Then I would open the file in Word and change all spaces, paragraph marks to tab stops. Then I would send the thing to an Excel spreadsheet. There I would use a function to turn the hexadecimal to decimal, and I would use a macro of my own to numbers 65 thru 90 and 97 thru 122 back to letters.

However this has 284 characters per listing and Excel has only 256 columns ever. I can't use Edit > Paste Special > Transpose until the stuff is pasted into Excel. (And I can't paste it into Excel because there are too many characters.)

So what I will do is use a custom macro in Word to divide each entry into two entries of 142 characters each. Then in Excel I will use line numbers to enable me to isolate the first line in each entry. This enables me to isolate the names and send them back to Word, then return them to Excel. By the time I am finished, the identified names and unidentified names will occupy 2 columns not 43 or 44. Thus the entire file will come in at 240 or 241 columns.

Also, I would want to break the original file up into around four pieces so that Word does not hopelessly crash.

Then comes the fun part of figuring out what the numbers mean.

Edit: the idea works alright. I have a cold today, so I have only done a quarter of it. Knowing what all the numbers mean may enable quick fixes to various items.

Edit, Edit: an Excel file can be MB in size, yet I can only paste about 100Kb at a time when going from Word into Excel?! Now I am totally done. Now what do all these numbers mean? Column 45 is the item type, that much is obvious.

The code for an Assassin's Dagger is this:

EC 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 41 73 73 61 73 73 69 6E 27 73 20 44 61 67 67 65 72 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

EC is item number, 04 means its power hasn't been invoked yet, 41 thru 72 is the name, it does 3d6 + 2 damage, it has +2 enchantment and it is +2 to hit. The second 02 seems to come from column 189 in D6Item.dat, I am not clear what it means.

All other details, like what power it confers when invoked, are found in the file D6Item.dat.

Since this post was written, I have learned a fair bit about how the items are recorded in the save game file, see the post
http://www.ironworksforum.com/forum/...ad.php?t=98389
As I don't have the W&W source code, I don't know what all the numbers mean.
