Sacred 2: Fallen Angel Message Board  

Hi Shade1982

Much appreciatted for the thanks

I have re-enabled the downloads for the lightsabers chest (was having a bit of a clearout but it's up there).

I haven't figured out a huge deal from the hex values, those values that I have got are the position of the item (x,y), size of the item (x,y), number of items in that position, item type, item id, item level, colour, and difficulty level. I think I have managed to figure out the cost of the item as well.

I also know where the sockets are located in the item and the type of socket but changing these simply defaults back to the defaults as set by the blueprint.txt file. I am sure there is a value somewhere that switches off the default behaviour for an item and will allow hex editing to add sockets and possibly other attributes, I just can't find it though

I would be interested in how you managed to change the boni and the prefix and suffix. I drop by sometimes in this thread and although I think not a lot of people play anymore I am still interested in trying to unlock all of the items secrets

Well, it isn't the most scientific way, but I took two similar items (two items that are the same, but have a different prefix suffix) and I looked at what values were similar and what values were the same. I used your editor to create a couple of extras of one item and I just tried changing one by one on each of them. When checking the items in-game I noticed some boni had changed.

Unfortunately, because the last reply was quite a while ago and I thought nobody would respond, I have deleted the items.

I can see if I can create some again if you want?

I know by changing the difficulty level, colour of the item you can unlock certain extra boni. You can also increase the boni by changing the level of the item as well as the difficulty level and colour of the item.

I would be definately be interested if you used a hex editor to change any values that the item editor doesn't. Looking around in some of the XBOX forums it looks like there is a value that will give silly values for the boni (+ 10000% and more) and that would be cool to find. I also have an idea that the values 5, 6, 7 and 8 bytes before the level value change boni but haven't tested it properly yet.

New version of the Item Editor now up to 0.5.4.

Changes
Added extra cleanup to eliminate crashing if loading an empty chest twice.
Added extra info to data dump files.
Added Date and Time information to the name of the chest backup file.
Added Game Version information taken from build number.
Added description of where values are for item in chest in drop down menu Help -> Item/Chest Design.
Visual tweaks to some of the dialog boxes.

Have added the download information to the first post in the thread.

Have fun making new goodies. jimbouk

Hi there.

Thanks for the reply, but, the thing with the more chance of sockets is that you get less magics which defeats the purpose.

But again thanks.

Hi there.

The second part of your ansewer i saved and i only get it in theory, but not in practice, i'm a hardware guy, software is MORE of a mystery to me, but i am learning...

BUT, i have 2 copies of S2 installed on 2 CPU's the first is the latest V1.43 the second is v1.25 i tried to use your chest editor V53 but doesn't work, just D/L'd V54 will try it on S2 V1.25, the reason for V1.25 is to get the 4th and 5th type of relics with stronger armor and Def instead of Gen Skills, got the 4th & 5th but lower levels only better armor than others creating higher lever Seraphim to get them.

Thanks for a VERY useful program.

I have the same problem as cee_don.
I can't open the chest. This message appear when i click "open chest"
"Error: There are no items in the chest. Returning to main window."
Could someone tell me this problem??

I use window7 32 bit
and Sacred 2 2.34

Thank a lot

Hiya spirit76

It looks like the chest is being found but there are no items in it. Just as a check go to the File menu at the top left hand side of the editor and then "Choose Chest", navigate to where your chest file is and try to open it. If this does not work it might be that you don't have any items in the Commuinity Chest (the one that is available for all of your characters). The editor will not work on the chest that is specific to the character as it does not open the hero file where this is stored.

Post back if you have any problems.
