Everything in this tutorial will enable you to make a holding item of any of the above type or for other things. There are other ways to do this, this is just the way I did it.
General knowledge of creating new items and properties will come in handy for this tutorial. As well as general knowledge on how to make a mod run and work properly.
Level of knowledge required : Beginner and or Intermediate
Spoon Fed : Pretty much
Files Required :
CubeMain.txt (same concept for all gem bags)
ItemStatCost.txt (this will be usable for all gem bags and gem removers)
UniqueItems.txt (makes things easier in my opinion (removers will be usable for all gem bags))
Properties.txt (this will be usable for all gem bags and gem removers)
Misc.txt (the removers will be usable for all gem bags)
ItemTypes.txt (this will be usable for all gem bags and gem removers)
TreasureClassEx.txt (if you want to make them as drops(I won't be going over this in this guide))
patchstring.tbl (strings will all be interchangeable between all gem bags and gem removers)
Applications/Programs Required :
A table editor (I'll be using QTblEditor)
A spreadsheet editor (I'll be using D2Excel)
Now for the fun part the actual tutorial. I will be making a chipped gem bag.
