before 2.31 you set that to 1000 and you could get unique and rare items in the store. Now it does not work anymore, either because of a softwarehouse screwup or as an anti-cheat thing. Still it ****es me off, i want the goddamned new unics and sets! Will stick with 2.12 till i'll find a way around.
I actually think it is a bug in the new patch.
A way to get the same results without altering the balance text was to create a toon and focus every item/armor/weapon slot and skills on bargaining.
With a high enough bargaining skill, the traders would have the same item selections we have been getting with altering the balance text.
I have tested this now with a toon and pretty much maxxed her bargaining skill.
Still absolutely nothing but whites/blues and some yellows.
I believe they broke Bargaining. In turn this has somehow broken the balance text lines.
Did you try combining the two together?
High bargaining with high balance settings?
I wonder if we should go really REALLY high on the balance and see if that fixes it...
Like.. instead of 1000 or 10000 go to 1000000000
The toon I created for bargaining was done on a balance text with the trader set to 10000.
Still nada.
I also tried raising it to 45000, then 450000. I did do 1000000 as well, not with the bargaining toon, but still nada.
The official forums have people complaining about Bargaining not working so I assume it is a bug.
Anyone try playing with these values? ChanceForAdditionalSlots = 450, ChanceForSlotToImprove = 200, ChanceIncForSlotImprovePerRareLevel = 50, ChanceToBecomeSlotItemForBlankItem = 0, ChanceToBecomeSlotItemForMagicItem = 0, ChanceToBecomeSlotItemForNormalItem = 250, ChanceToBecomeSlotItemForUniqueItem = 0,
This is what mine looks like right now, ChanceForAdditionalSlots = 1000, ChanceForSlotToImprove = 1000, ChanceIncForSlotImprovePerRareLevel = 1000, ChanceToBecomeSlotItemForBlankItem = 1000, ChanceToBecomeSlotItemForMagicItem = 1000, ChanceToBecomeSlotItemForNormalItem = 1000, ChanceToBecomeSlotItemForUniqueItem = 1000,
I tried setting these to 10,000. The game crashed after a item dropped. So I left it at 1000. As for the amount of slots, it gives me exact amount of slots listed for each item below; local subfamSlots = { {"SUBFAM_HORSE_SADDLE",2}, {"SUBFAM_SEC_ARMSHIELD",3}, {"SUBFAM_SEC_FOCUSITEM",2}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_SWORD",3}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_FISTWEAPON",2}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_SHORTSWORD",3}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_SABER",3}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_DAGGER",2}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_CLUB",3}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_HAMMER",3}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_AXE",3}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_WHIP",2}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_CHAINWEAPON",2}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_BASTARDSWORD",3}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_2H_AXE",4}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_2H_HAMMER",4}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_2H_SWORD",4}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_JAVELIN",4}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_HALBERD",4}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_MAGESTAFF",3}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_ENERGY_PISTOL",2}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_ENERGY_WEAPON",3}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_SHORTBOW",3}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_LONGBOW",4}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_THROW_DAGGER",2}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_THROW_STAR",2}, {"SUBFAM_ARMOR_HELMET",3}, {"SUBFAM_ARMOR_SHOULDER",2}, {"SUBFAM_ARMOR_CHEST",4}, {"SUBFAM_ARMOR_ARM",1}, {"SUBFAM_ARMOR_HAND",1}, {"SUBFAM_ARMOR_LEG",1}, {"SUBFAM_ARMOR_BOOT",1}, {"SUBFAM_ARMOR_WINGS",2}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_POLE",4}, {"SUBFAM_ARMOR_BELT",4}, {"SUBFAM_ARMOR_CLOTH_HEAD",3}, {"SUBFAM_ARMOR_CLOTH_SHOULDER",2}, {"SUBFAM_ARMOR_CLOTH_ARM",1}, {"SUBFAM_ARMOR_CLOTH_CHEST",4}, {"SUBFAM_ARMOR_CLOTH_LEG",1}, {"SUBFAM_ARMOR_HEAD_TG",3}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_MAGESTAFF_2H",4}, {"SUBFAM_PRI_BLOWGUN",3}, {"SUBFAM_MOUNT_CONTROL",2}, {"SUBFAM_MOUNT_PROTECT",2}, {"SUBFAM_WEAPON_BATTERY",2}, }
I was hope for there to be a way to add more slots, but no luck. I tried changing the values here but it didn't do anything. Also I don't know what determines getting either bronze, silver, or gold slots.
Reason being, whenever I set ALL the others to 1000, Items LOST stats to be replaced with a slot.
As an example, I had a short sword that had an inherent +8 to Dexterity and +3 to Dual Wield and had 2 slots. I changed the slotted stats, all to 1000 and that short sword lost the Dexterity and Dual Wield bonuses and now had 3 slots.
Quite a big loss IMO. I have yet to find a ring or necklace that gives both of those bonuses, that high, on one item.
So by playing around some more with the numbers I found the above numbers work much much better.
Virtually everything is slotted and NOTHING loses inherent skills to be replaced with a slot.
I have not found a way to increase the # of slots though. That's prolly some in game mechanic somewhere.
From 1 Monster I can Get: 1 - 10 Yellow Armors, 1 - 15 Gold Armors, Exactly 3 Runes from 1 monster!!(For the Hero I am Playing 'In This Case Seraphim Runes') About 1 - 15 bags of gold And about 1 - 10 Potions
I do get books every like 5 mins too lol, I've even got some useless ones, even a useless gold pendant as well.. But No Green Armors as of Yet
I dont know if its allowed but ill upload my .txt to a site and link it here so you can check out how I did everything
hello im new here did all the balance txt.stuff, thanks
^^hmm i just started getting green gear, i just hit 15 too. maybe they start coming in after lvl 15? i could be wrong.
Im lvl 12 atm, Currently in main city doing quests..
I'll let you know once I hit 15 as well -------------------------------------------------------------- Oh.. and btw was going thru the .txt files and I came across something interesting that may interest you all:
I found another hairstyle to add to the list!! According to the string its called:
family = "FAMILY_HAIR", classification = "CLF_HAIR",
-- 3d model + animation info
name = "models/npc/seraphim/darkseraphim/s_darkseraphim_hair.GR2", user = "WEARGROUP_INVALID", mgr.typeCreate( , newItemType); -------------------------------------------------------------- U have to download the document in order to find out what the number is where i put at in the string of code
Sorry I don't wanna spoil it =P
I have also included.. are you ready? I think its a horse's hairstyle as well in the document ..
I have to include I have NOT tested these yet.. maybe later today I will with the new seraphim hairstyle I discoverd..
[Edited by AngelSkye, 12/8/2008 6:18:07 PM] -------------------------------------- Just tested the hairstyles... 1.) The Seraphim hairstyle works, its just the same exact model used for the "dying Seraphim" in the beginning intro, when you select a "Seraphim" to play as... And is also used on the "evil murderous seraphim" in the first main city!!
NOTES: Sadly you cannot change the color of this hairstyle.. If you try to the models "invisible" ponytails become apparent and you have to re-style your character's hair again ~~~~~~~~ 2.) As for the "horses tail" hairstyle it didn't appear as i thought it would, as it looks like a cannon is bursting through my Seraphim's chest *sigh* ------------------------------------------- Thats it for my report on the hairstyles
