Can anyone create items here?

Post by Dúnadan »

Back at BGDungeon, I remember every third topic being about custom item creation, and I was wondering if anyone does that here, since I've got a couple of requests for items I'd like made a reality.

Do you have a homepage where all your items you have made are displayed?

If so, what's the URL?

Vehemence I been so busy workin on expansion and custom stuff aint had time to set up a web page, usually just make stuff people request as I got bored creating my own items.
Was gonna use ShadowStriders page for my custom items, but had some probs with Game and most of the the ones I made lost their descriptions because I didnt know to change their format to .tbg awhile back, aint had time to go back and write descriptions again for all the items (like 40 or so). Besides I didnt see much interest on here in people using custom items, other than the occasional person, seems like most people prefer the standard stuff (nuthin wrong with that by any means).

If you implement it well enough, I believe people will use the custom item just as much as the Standard items.

Honestly, I would like to see some more Katannas, bastard swords and small swords. I've actually revamped two of the +1 bastard swords that came with the game into +3 bastard swords.

Have you got a list of what you've created then? So we can pick something that sounds good so you can email it to us? :D

i think the main reason 4 this is that when people think of custom items they think of really unbalanced weapons like +5 longswords that give u immunity to evrything :D

I think that custom items are great if balanced but most ones i have seen on web pages are not balanced at all. I also think it would be cool to kind of make them only for you by only allowing someone of the same race and class of your pc to be able to use it.

I shall have to send u an email when i think of some good weapons

Well cloud that was my big deal too, i didnt want to make a bunch of fun-killers so i made imo a bunch of well balanced items. Also i went back the other night and rewrote the descriptions for some of them after seeing this post and I have about 25 well balanced items and maybe 2 that are a tad bit strong but IMO not too strong. Also another problem i had before was i didnt like the idea of putting my weapons in a store as anyone with some good money could get pretty powerful, pretty early, and at the time i had no way to edit the in-game besides the store files. Well iv learned a bunch since then and now I can put the items pretty much where I want (IE that Vampire Dace could have a mean sword in his possesion etc..), just requires adding some more files to override.I will try and finish the descriptions tonight and get a list posted up here temporarily, and maybe Shadowstrider or Kevin D will host the items for me.

There are a few custom item threads here, but they are now in somewhere deep down bottom of all those topics...
