I need help w/ terms

[ShadowBladeX]

Hello everyone,

I know it's hard to understand but I need to know this, when i was in the spell editor I saw in the discription <Alfc, Dat1> something like that if I can remember clearly, I was wondering if i can do that on the description of the item so I wanted to get a list of this from google unfortunately I didn't know the keywords hopefully you could give me a list of this (what ever it is called). Thanks in Advance

Yes you can. Literally just copy the way its done in the spell editor wherever you want text to show data from the object editor: <rawcode of the ability/item/whatever you want to reference, name of field>

You can find the rawcodes of your objects by pressing Control+D and looking at the names. This also conveniently shows you the names for all the different fields you can change, which is the second thing you need to input.

Sorry I didn't get you back there, so if I just Ctrl+D on a field then will it show up or should I double-click the field then Ctrl+D, then how would I know that it showed up. P.s: I just can't understand raw codes

In the object editor's list of spells, look at where it says Thunderclap Storm Bolt, etc. and just press ctrl+d. Those names now instead display the rawcode of the spell. Storm bolt is 'AHtb': Abilities, Human (captial h for hero), thundebolt (original name of the spell). If you make an new spell it will say '<ability its based on>:Axxx' where xxx is the number of the spell (goes up every time when you make a spell: A000, A001, A249...). When you refer to this spell you only use its new number like 'A005'; the base spell is only for the editor.

Ctrl+d toggles between modes that show rawcodes and those that don't. Look at the data fields on in the editor and just press ctrl+d. Not while editing one just literally look at the window and you can see the names of all the fields change to like 'dat1' and 'hdur', etc.

Check the Tutorial in my signature; it basically gives you everything Pyrogasm already gave, but has a little more information if your curious (like how to do '%'s, stuff like that).

Thanks to all who answered question 1 and now for number 2 how to increase ingame item description

 

[Kyrbi0]

"How to increase"? Example please?

 

[ShadowBladeX]

Example my item tooltip extended description is 300 letters and in-game it only shows 255 letters how to do it so that in-game it will show 300 letters

 

[Kyrbi0]

Ah... I'm not sure if that's possible. Limits like that can often be hard-coded in because the game just doesn't have the room for it.

What about secondary abilities that are just dummies, for the tooltip? Or find a way to shorten that.

Which is better an item w/ history or W/o

Really depends on how cluttered it is.

Ctrl+d toggles between modes that show rawcodes and those that don't. Look at the data fields on in the editor and just press ctrl+d. Not while editing one just literally look at the window and you can see the names of all the fields change to like 'dat1' and 'hdur', etc.

I misspoke about this and wanted to clarify: pressing Ctrl+d does toggle the OE fields, but it's actually the 4 digit code in parenthesis next to the field before you press Ctrl+d you need to use. For example where it says "Abilities - Normal (uabi)".
