Help with items

[rottendeath]

I'm trying to create custom items for my server, and i have had minimal success.
I overwrote one item because i could not figure out how to assign it to the right class/race, and when i tried to just create a new weapon, it was an unusable bag the did a LOT of damage.
Is there an item editor that creates the row for you to insert, or at least a chart i can refer to or something when making an item, or am i stuck picking attributes off of other items?

(I tried to download the item editor that comes up on this site when you search the forums, but the page is dead.)

Classes and races are set like bitfields in the items table. They use a power of two to specify which class/race can equip the item. From classes.h and races.h we can see the values (I took them out of alphabetical order for readibility).


#define warrior_1 1
#define cleric_1 2
#define paladin_1 4

If you wanted an item to be WAR only, you would set it's class field to 1. If you wanted it to be WAR and ROG usable, you can add the numbers together and set it to 257 (1 + 256) .. etc. The same goes for classes.

Look on the wiki or search the forums for a list of item types. I have seen a few.

There are a couple great editors out there that can handle the grunt work of DB manipulation for you, which is somthing that I reccomend you use first to get a feel for things.

First one is Kayot's Editor. It can edit a multitude of things in the db. It has some quirks, but is a very nice editor. Next would be all of GeorgeS tools. He has made countless tools for you to use and I recommend you try them out.
