Possible to start a character with scather?

Kamisama · Post by **Kamisama** » Mon Apr 19, 2004 10:37 am

I wanted to make a char and go through the game solo on ironman. I wanted to start him with scather. I can't seem to find a character editor or any means at all to add this item to a character. Does anyone know of an editor or another means to do this? Thanks.

the problem is, that scather is not listed in the protus.tab...

...but if you justwant a cheesy weapon right away from the start:

1. open the protus.tab with an editor

2. go to line 4012 this is a masterwork greatsword the blacksmith in Hommlet sells if you use the Co8 patch...

3.1 there you can change all weapon stats you want:

- damage
- crit. range
- crit. multiplier
- price

3.2 if you change the name (in the mid of the line) you can change the weapon (use guisarme and the GS will have reach but still look like a GS) - but you will need weapon prof. / imp. crit and so on...: guisarme afterwards

3.3 somewhere in the protus.tab is fragarach - if you copy paste everything in the line behind fragarach over everything behind GS in line 4012 - this GS should get all effects of frag... - I haven't tested this...-...but should work...

4. if you save and reload TOEE you can buy this modified GS in Hommlet.

5. btw. it shouldn't be that hard to find out which is the Masterwork BS the blacksmith sells - there are only a few in the protus.tab - if you copy the whole fragarach line (besides the item number) the blacksmith might sell you frag...

How do I open the protos.tab?

I am guessing its inside one of the data files. I can't find an editor that will open them

You can start a character with any items you want.

Go into your ToEE folder, then the data folder, and then the mes folder. In the mes folder, open the description document with wordpad or something. It gives you the item code numbers for everything. Jot down the sutff you want.
Then go into the rules folder (also in your data folder) and open the starting equipment document (again, wordpad or such).

You'll see the starting equip for each class - just add in/edit them as you like. Save. Done.

Of course, make a back up before you modify files.

Have fun.

Just for the fun, try giving yourself on of these items

4085 - Longsword +5
4133 - Balor Vorpal Sword !!!
4137 - Staff of Fire
4154 - Sword of Life Stealing !!!
4195 - Composite Longbow (Str +2)
4235 - David's Sling

I think some of these were intended to be found but were cut out for some reason. Balor's sword lacks inventory graphics i.e.

Anyway, just for the fun
