Changing item appearance opcodes

Wizer13

Hi, I'm venturing further in the marvelous world on modding. To create items I decided to use tp2 commands to copy existing items or effects in order to keep the names and description written, since it was always getting deleted when I tried creating them with DLTCEP.

I know now how to name and change descriptions. But what is the correct coding to replace the item icon? That would be of great help. Thanks!

I think that it is...

WRITE_LONG 0x003a ~INVENTORYICON.BAM~
WRITE_LONG 0x0044 ~GROUNDICON.BAM~
WRITE_LONG 0x0058 ~DESCRIPTIONICON.BAM~

Those codes were taken from the IESDP Library.

You want to use WRITE_ASCII there, or possibly SAY. WRITE_LONG will only write 4 bytes of the 8 needed.

The best way is:

WRITE_ASCII 0x3a ~INVENTORYICON.BAM~ #8
WRITE_ASCII 0x44 ~GROUNDICON.BAM~ #8
WRITE_ASCII 0x58 ~DESCRIPTIONICON.BAM~ #8

With #8 being the max length of the icons names. Very useful when you copy-patch an existing item, if the new icons names have less characters than the original ones (e.g. you want to replace IAMUL01 with MYAMUL: without #8, the resulting value in 0x3a would by MYAMUL1).
