Item Creation Contest !

[Trumpcard]

If you notice, the 0.4.1 release includes the first of hopefully a suite of worldbuilding tools for use with EqEMU, Kaiyodo's ItemEditor.

Lets have some fun!

Create an sql file with the creator (it has an option to dump directly to a file) of a small database of 10-20 items or so (more or less is fine, just dont give us 1000 items) of original item work. These do not need to be super weapons/armor, they can be suited for any levels.

Stupid item submissions will be ignored (Sword of ULTRAL33TNESS)

Put your item.sql on this message to be considered.

Prizes will be
1)GM Status of one or more DEV servers.
2)Honorary title.
3)Inclusion of items into the items database.

Maybe some other things if we can think of them

Items based on fantasy literature is fine. If you want to make something based on LOTR, thats great, or create the Elfstones of Shannara (since I run Halls of Paranor, you might get bonus points...lol) The items should be well balanced for the race/class they were designed for. Items with historys will earn you extra. (Create a fictional history for the weapon, maybe we can come up with fun quests to obtain them in the future). We can create books on lore in game with their histories, and maybe hints on how to get them.

Go wild, and show us what you can do !

Submission deadline is Jan 31st, 2003.

still very confused why EITHER item editors. (kayidoo, EQAdmin tool) does not have weapon fighting proc for effects. :cry:

[Kaiyodo]

You can setup weapon proc's with my editor as far as I know You change the effect type to 'none/proc' and set both spellids to the index of the spell to proc.

A little warning about setting the bane damage numbers in my editor while I remember. I noticed that setting the BaneDMGRace on an item that doesn't normally have it crashes the client, there are some magic numbers in there that must need setting up.

I also noticed that skill mods added with the editor don't show up, looks like there are still some unknowns that need setting up for that too.

I dunno.. I already have a lot of this done History, Items, Quests, Monsters.. even gods.

I was making an EQEMu mod - if you guys remember it, its been updated lots. I just don't see a point without being able to make zones.

[TheClaus]

Can we please have an item editor that doesn't connect to the database? I would like to contribute but don't want to setup a mysql server here at work.

[rbysa]

umm little confused where is the editor thing :

[DeletedUser]

Download newest EQEMu version. Inside the zip there is a folder called ItemEditor.. inside its there.

Or you can get it at Kaiyodo site.. but pointless because you need a server.. or well just a database (mysql) to run to item edit.
