The Phrozen Keep

[Phrozen Heart]

---

(Includes comments/tips from others, such as Jarulf, Xavon Wrentaile, and 54x)

Name/Namco - name of item. (tho' if I'm not
mistaken it only matters what you put in your final string.tbl entry,
this could merely be sometime to remind yourself)

compactsave - Useless column <Jarulf: This was
(should be no need now) telling if the game could use a more compact
save method for the item by omitting the magic seed (which took quite
some space). This was erroneously set for gems for example (when it was
introduced) and caused all gems to unrandomize.>

version - 0 for available for all games, 100
available in expansion only <Jarulf: Use so that the game knows an
item should not generate if the game is a normal game (as oposed to
expansion)>

level - required lvl before item will drop (based
on mlvl)<54x: Determines which treasureclass it will drop under.
(eg. level 28, 29, and 30 armours will drop from armo30) It also
determines what level you must be to buy this item at an NPC's.>
levelreq - Min clvl to use item

Rarity - Bigger num, more rare (tho' drop rates are controlled
in TCex AFAIK)

Spawnable - Can it be sold in shops or dropped by monsters
- Xavon Wrentaile

speed - Useless column - confirmed by Xavon Wrentaile

nodurability - to set item indestructability

cost - How much the item costs to buy <sell price is
½ * value - bkdoane> <JBouley: I believe, actually,
sell value when you dump an item at a vendor is one-fourth the
cost for you to buy it>

gamblecost - cost to gamble item (at proper vendors)

code - IMPT! this has to be different from all the other
codes used by the game. And this is the code that needs to be
entering into string.tbl. <Jarulf: Don't delete the old codes
to prevent possible assertion errors with deleted items>

alternategfx - Useless column - confirmed by Xavon Wrentaile

component - what part of the body to equip to - Xavon
Wrentaile

invheight - item height

hasinv - has a predetermined spot in the inv(body) section.

gemsockets - is item socketable?

flippyfile - The name of the animation file the item uses
in-game when it's dropped (if it's a item that looks similar
to another item you could just

copy this cell from there, unless you intend to remaster the
gfx for the drop, if so the file to look for is data\global\items\flpxxxxxxx.dc6.

xxxxxxx is stated specifically for the item) Note:For flippyfile,
you need to use the DC6Maker available in PK. this allows to
extract individual

frames which can be edited. Change the palette back to the 256-col
used in D2 (palettes are also available in Tools of the Trade)
and recompile with DC6Maker again) whatever name you save your
new flpxxx as, put it in this cell

invfile - The DC6 file that this item uses in your inventory
(this is the one most commonly edited, I use the above method
exactly)

uniqueinvfile - The DC6 file that the unique version of
this item uses in your inventory.

and be changed into another item (Fusman's morphing gem uses
this)

item that this item becomes when right clicked (see Transmogrify)

potions, scrolls etc

group, gemtype and gemquality)

sound - The number of the sound the item makes when dropped
or moved in the inventory.

unique - only 1 allow per person at a time (eg, bark scroll/meph
soulstone) <Xavon Wrentaile: It's to state whether item only
appears as a unique>

transparent - Unknown (only torch has 1, else 0)

transtbl - Used for gems to apply their 'color' to a socketed
item. Not sure of the values, but 5 seems to make the item change
to the appropriate color

the brighter)

belt - Whether or not the item can be placed in a belt
slot

autobelt - Whether or not the item appears in your belt
when picked up

stackable - Whether or not the item can be stacked (doesn't
seem to work unless item was already meant to stack, am looking
into it, some ppl are

trying to stack healing potions) <JBouley: Potion stacking
doesn't work; the game treats the entire stack as a single potion>

minstack/maxstack - Min/max number in stack found for
stackable items

spawnstack - max amt spawnable (ref to arrows/bolt/keys

{vendorname} will have for sale if the item is spawnable

{vendorname}MagicMin/MagicMax - Min/Max number of magical

of the prefixes that the magical items sold by {vendorname} can
have

in-game gfx or a flag as to whether the item color shifts for
