Misc.txt File Guide

Misc.txt File Guide OVERVIEW Armor.txt, Misc.txt and Weapons.txt have many identical columns. That's because in fact these 3 text files are part of 1 bigger file : when the game reads these 3 tables, it merges them all, one after another, into one and unique table.These 3 text files contain all the base items of the game : normal / exceptional / elite versions of items like armor, helm, gaunt, shield, weapon, gems, potion, key, scroll ...Incidently, that means you can add columns to any one of these 3 files. For instance if you add the columns , TransmogrifyTMogType, TMogMin and TMogMax to Armor.txt and use them for an Helm, then this Helm will be able to be Transmute into another item, something that doesn't look possible at first glance since the 4 columns are not originally in Armor.txt.Note : to add columns in a .txt, don't use D2Excel, as this program can't do the job. Instead, use MS Excel or another spreadsheet that can import and export tab-delimited .txt files. RELATED .TXT FilES This file is using: * AutoMagic.TxT * Belt.txt * Composit.txt * ItemTypes.txt * Missiles.txt * Sound.txt This file is used by : * CharStats.txt * CompCode.txt * CubeMain.txt * SetItems.txt * UniqueItems.txt COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS : ________________________________________________________________________ name: Reference only, its a comment field. ______________________________________________________________________________ *name: Reference only, its a comment field. ______________________________________________________________________________ szFlavorText: unknown if used ______________________________________________________________________________ compactsave: 1=use ompactsave 0=don't use compactsave. This is used to get a smaller filesize. This will not save any stats to the item, this means it will not save any quantity, automagic, affixes, damage, armor, durability e.tc. (This is used by items that don't need any stats stored like Healing potions, gems). ______________________________________________________________________________ version: 0=Classic D2, 100=Expansion (A item set to 100 here cannot be generated in classic d2). ______________________________________________________________________________ level: base item level (aka a monster with a mlvl of 20 cannot drop a lvl30 armor for eg, used by the "armo#" preset TCs) ______________________________________________________________________________ levelreq: the minimum level you need to have to use that item ______________________________________________________________________________ rarity: 0 = Exclude this item from armor rack, 1 and higher sets the rarity for this item to be droped from an armor rack.(There need to be atleast one armor with rarity 1 othervise the game will crash when you use an armor rack). ______________________________________________________________________________ spawnable: 1=can be sold by NPCs, 0=can never be sold by NPCs (even if you make them sell it thru the vendor columns) ______________________________________________________________________________ speed: Possitive value = slower run, negative value = faster run. ______________________________________________________________________________ nodurability: 1=indestructible, 0=use durability ______________________________________________________________________________ gamble cost: only used by Amulets/Rings. ______________________________________________________________________________ Code : is not needed to be added to string table anymore.
