For this tutorial (my first one :D ) we will be making a set called Horazon's Madness.
The set will have 3 items, staff, armour and a mask

First off, open up setitems.txt in a spreadsheet program. Scroll right down to the last entry and under that add the following:

Save your changes to setitems.txt (make sure its tab delimited if you’re using excel). We are now finished with this file.

Open up sets.txt and scroll down to the bottom entry, below this add the following:

Column A (index): Horazon’s Madness
Column B (name): Horazon’s Madness
Column C (version): 100 (or 0 if you wish for it to be found in classic d2)
Column D (level): 2
Column E (PCode2a): hp
Column F (PParam2a): Leave blank
Column G (PMin2a): 50
Column H (PMax2a): 50
Column I (PCode2b): mana
Column J (PParam2b): Leave blank
Column K (PMin2b): 50
Column L (PMax2b): 50
Column M-AJ (PCode3a- PMax5b): Leave blank
Column AK (FCode1): allskills
Column AL (FParam1): Leave blank
Column AM (FMin1): 1
Column AN (FMax1): 1
Column AO (FCode2): oskill
Column AP (FParam2): Raise Skeleton
Column AQ (FMin2): 2
Column AR (FMax2):3
Column AS (FCode3): oskill
Column AT (FParam3): Skeleton Mastery
Column AU (FMin3): 2
Column AV (FMax3): 3
Column AW (FCode4): cast2
Column AX (FParam4): Leave blank
Column AY (FMin4): 10
Column AZ (FMax4): 10
Column BA (FCode5): hp
Column BB (FParam5): Leave blank
Column BC (FMin5): 50
Column BD (FMax5): 50
Column BA (FCode6): mana
Column BB (FParam6): Leave blank
Column BC (FMin6): 50
Column BD (FMax6): 50
Column BA (FCode7): res-all
Column BB (FParam7): Leave blank
Column BC (FMin7): 20
Column BD (FMax7): 20
Column BM-BP (FCode8 – Fmax8): Leave blank
Column BQ (*eol): 0

Save your changes to sets.txt (make sure its tab delimited if you’re using excel).

Almost finished now, all that’s left is to add the strings, so open up your table editor and load up patchstring.tbl. (or whichever table you will be using)

You will need to add 4 new keys:
(The order you put them in does not matter)
(Key name /// String)
Horazon’s Robes /// Horazon’s Robes
Horazon’s Face /// Horazon’s Face
Horazon’s Staff /// Horazon’s Staff
Horazon’s Madness /// Horazon’s Madness


Some Helpful Hints and some things that took me a while to figure out :P

The Magic Codes Master List has a list of all the properties an item can be given. (very helpful)

The items in a set are displayed in the reverse order they are in the text files.
E.g. In Horazon’s Madness set, the items will be displayed like this in the game:
Horazon’s Madness
Horazon’s Robes 3rd in txt file
Horazon’s Power 2nd in txt file
Horazon’s Face 1st in txt file

If the items appear in game like this:
Horazon’s Madness
An Evil Force
An Evil Force
An Evil Force

1) Your string file is in the wrong place, ensure that it is in data\local\LNG\ENG (for English)
2) You did not add the correct key to patchstring.tbl, try copy + pasting the item name in.
3) You didn’t change the strings at all :P

Note: If you copy/paste the name from excel make sure it there isnt and extra space on the end of the key, this will result in Evil Forces :P
