Willow (115 posts) Aug-20-01, 12:31 PM (Pacific) "BaneItem© v1.0" i bring you the latest version of BaneItem© - Wizardry® VI Bane of the Cosmic Forge© Item Editor. yes, you read correctly - BaneItem is now an Item Editor as well as an Item Viewer. now you can edit any item to meet the needs of your characters. does your mage want to wield a Z-Bo? what about a Faerie decked out in Ebony Armor? have fun removing race and class restrictions on Bane's existing items. want more? try creating your own items! any fans of the movie Willow out there? (i am ) re-create the magic acorns that the High Aldwyn gave Willow: "Anything you throw them at turns to stone!" i bet your Lord would love to wield 2 Excaliburs... why not make another Excalibur - that is a secondary weapon? look out, Xorphitus! when your items are created, don't forget to "Write Items to File" - that will save the items to your scenario.dbs file. then use BaneEdit to edit your newly created items into your character's inventory! please enjoy the fruits of my labor - i know i will!

Willow (115 posts) Aug-20-01, 01:03 PM (Pacific) 1. "RE: BaneItem© v1.0" uhh, i just found a bug. well, what kind of programmer would i be if i didn't leave bugs in my code? don't worry - you can still edit your own items - HOWEVER please don't sort the items and then "Write Items to File". it will write the sorted list of items to your scenario.dbs file. (and screw it up) a fix is coming shortly...

Willow (115 posts) Aug-20-01, 01:28 PM (Pacific) 2. "bug fixed" but in fixing that bug, i've found another! sheesh. how dreadfully embarassing. oh well - you get what you pay for with free software. the bug won't allow you to save any changes to the scenario.dbs file if the scenario.dbs file is set to Read-Only. to fix this, simply right click on your scenario.dbs file, uncheck the Read-Only attribute, and click OK. i promise, my stuff works! and it's really cool, too! look for a version that doesn't care about read-only attributes shortly. for now, sit back, relax, and create your own items!

Hagaar (71 posts) Aug-20-01, 05:32 PM (Pacific) 3. "RE: bug fixed(and then another...)" ...Little item! When you go to edit your changes in BaneEditor, Your going to find a "little" problem. You won't be able to equip your players!! In order to correct for this, ANY changes you make in the ItemEditor, "save changes" and(!) "write items to file" before they can be incorporated into the game. I found this out after a short period of muttering under my breath But... I LIKE IT!!!! Hagaar.

Willow (115 posts) Aug-21-01, 10:03 AM (Pacific) 4. "RE: bug fixed(and then another...)" thanks Hagaar! yes, i admit - it isn't the most user-friendliest of programs... after you make changes to an item, hit the "Save Changes to Item" button. for the changes to be written to the scenario.dbs file, hit the "Write Items to File" button. also, since BaneEdit reads the scenario.dbs file on startup, any changes made with BaneItem will not be reflected in BaneEdit (or Bane, for that matter) until the program(s) are closed and re-opened. so maybe i released this one a bit prematurely... i still hope you all are enjoying it!

Joebob (212 posts) Aug-26-01, 10:46 AM (Pacific) 6. "RE: BaneItem© v1.0" LAST EDITED ON Aug-26-01 AT 10:46 AM (Pacific) can you create new items with out eraseing old items? if yes, how? thanks in advance JB   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Willow (115 posts) Aug-27-01, 09:23 AM (Pacific) 7. "creating new items" from what i can tell, there is a way to create new items without erasing old ones. as you may have noticed, when you open up BaneItem and scroll through the drop-down list, there are quite a bit of "blank" items. that is to say, items that have no name and no characteristics. well, these "blank" items are the perfect place to create you new interesting item - d. w. bradley isn't using them anyway! as always, "save changes to item" and "write items to file" must be done before you start up 1.) BaneEdit to edit the item into your inventory, and 2.) Bane to play the game.

Hagaar (71 posts) Aug-27-01, 05:22 PM (Pacific) 8. "RE: creating new items" Okay. Now... what about the picture references? I tried that and lost the original item from the list. Suggestions anyone?? Hagaar. The "Not-so-Horrible!"   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
