- Intro -
- -
-======================================================-
Now that it's possible to edit your dungeon seige characters (Rico Blanko has an
FAQ on this over on gamefaqs.com if you need to know the basics) it's time to
do more than just change the xp for your character. This means editing items.
Dungeon Seige gives items their powers like this: it has the basic item, and
then can have one prefix and one suffix (only one of each, adding more gets
ignored by the game). So, to get a desired effect on your items, load up the
party.gas file, find your item and change/add the prefixes/suffixes as desired.
NOTE: Make absolutelly sure to backup your character. Even though this is a
pretty safe and tested procedure, it's still cheating, so errors, while rare,
can and will occur, so make sure you have a backup of your character in case
you're one of the unlucky ones to have it blow up on you. Generally, the game
will just ignore the eronious suffix or prefix in items it doesn't like, but in
rare cases it will get more upset than that, so make sure to backup your
character and editing work periodically.
-======================================================-

- Tools -
- -
-======================================================-
The tools for this are exactly the same as for character editing, just three:
-> Tank Viewer - www.game-editing.net
-> Tank Creator - www.game-editing.net
-> Text editor of your choice, wordpad or notepad work
The rest is just like editing your character. Open it up, extract to the temp
directory of your choice and load the party.gas file up, that's where the items
all are (incidentally, the bitmap file there can be replaced with whatever you
want looks like too, we haven't looked into it more than just to see it's doable
though.)
-======================================================-

- Specifics -
- -
-======================================================-
Now, in this file, at the end obviously are the xp levels for your stats and
skill levels, but before that is a huge list of everything you have. Spellbooks
and what they contain are first, then the rest of your items in a format like
this:
[20]
{
equip_slot = es_ring_0;
gold_value = 20727;
inv_location = il_main;
modifier_prefix_name = skirmishing;
modifier_suffix_name = offoresight;
template_name = ring_common;
variation_name = s_d_fin;
}
Obviously the first number is just what numerical order it is in the list of
stuff you have. equip_slot is where it's at, gold_value is what it sells for
(since you can cheat for infinite gold just by changing the value at the end of
your save file, but hey, if you wanna, knock yourself out.) Not so sure what
the inv_location means, presumably more of where it is. Now, the next two are
the ones that matter. This is where you specify the prefix and suffix for your
toys. (note that not everything has a prefix and suffix. If you wanna add one,
then that's fine, every item can have one prefix and one suffix, even if it's
not there by default). Every item, including ones that normally can't have
magic (like your freind and mine, the chicken gun) can be made magic like this.
The last two feilds appear to be what your item actually is displayed as. So
far we haven't looked to see much about that, so play with it at your own risk.
Now, for editing it's just a matter of picking what you want, putting it in,
saving the file and then reassembling the three extracted files to a complete
save file and off you go. The prefixes and suffixes we've found and gotten
specific info for so far are below.

- Prefix and Suffix list -
- -
-=======================================================-
This list of prefixes and suffixes is by no means complete, it's merely what
we've come across since we started researching this, with somewhat of a focus on
the high end ones. Note that the data has to be entered as is (ie suffixes
without spaces and with the of<whatever> as is.)

- Conclusion -

-======================================================-
Obviously, there's a ton of prefixes and suffixes, and since some do more than
one thing, are a bit difficult to get down exactly without a ton of time and
effort. We're still working on it, and will update as, well, we get more done.
If anyone wants to help, or has work of their own already done they'd like to
contribute, mail us at
[email protected] Hope this guide helps. Have fun
cheating ;)
