So let me get this straight.. just putting these lines in the text is all that needed? for instance, if I want another prefix/suffix on any part of equipment, I just have to find the related lines for that and put them in the text as well, right?..
Yes you are right. But adding item lines to those data txt files will only work for prefixes and suffixes. For other items you can add only rare, eipc and legendary items' lines, common/broken items will be ignored.
if that's the case, maybe you can direct me to a place where I can find all the values so that I can put the ones that I need into the text and be done with it.. I don't want you to bear extra workload just for one person asked it, that's why I'm making this post..
There is only one place all the values could be found, <installDir>\Database\database.arz. But compiling data from it not that easy.
tq-db.net is not complete, it doesn't have common and broken items as well.
I've extracted such data by writing specific code.
Here are all the available suffixes and prefixes which are in use(referred by at least one loot table):
https://mega.nz/#F!eOh3mawA!NJBoyOrEvCOvztxijQH3awAllPrefixes 928.txt
AllSuffixes 774.txt
You could pick your lines from here to put in TQ_Blacksmith data files.
If you don't find your affix in above files:
For instance, if I want "impetus" instead , that's tire 3 quality of slow resistance so I have to change 02.dbr to 03.dbr and keep the remaining parts untouched, right?
I would suggest just add a new line for Impetus.
https://www.tq-db.net/affix/prefixes
There are some prefixes in the list with a note attached as "multiple possibilities". I've never seen a "hardened" prefix offer bleeding resistance instead of pierce resistance for example.. Do you know what the deal with that is? Is it something manually editable like the completion bonuses on charms and relics?
On tq-db.net there is only one page for prefix. And listed prefix doesn't say it belongs to what item type e.g sword, ring, helm, or shield.
So if there are two prefixes:
1) prefix for helm - offers 8% bleeding resist - has name 'Hardened'
2) prefix for shield - offers 8% pierce resist - also has name 'Hardened'
So if these have same name. Then tq-db says "multiple possibilities" and list them in one entry.
These are three prefixes which have same name 'Hardened'
\records\item\lootmagicalaffixes\prefix\default\defensive_resist
bleed_01.dbr
\records\item\lootmagicalaffixes\prefix\default\defensive_resist
pierce_01.dbr
\records\
xpack2\item\lootmagicalaffixes\prefix\default\defensive_resistbleed_01.dbr
I don't know to which item type they get applied, but definitely they are different.
