yes and I wrote the proccess somewhere already, think in PM


 


1) find the item resref (usually by placing the item on the ground and checking properties)


2) make a copy and change it the way you need, save and close item


3) locate the new item by its resref in the temporary toolset files (NWN/modules/temp0)


4) rename the file name to match the original item resref


5) open the file in GFF editor modified (seems this tool wasn't migrated to the new vault yet...) and change resref field to match original item resref, save, close


 


and thats the easier way as I already said '<img'> there is an alternative way which is however unusable for anything that involves changing item properties (which is usually the reason why peoples want to do this in first place)

Thank you for the new reply. It's quite clear for now, I have the GFF editor here, so I believe all will be peaceful.

btw, maybe it would be a better idea to change loot system, im not experienced with what is OC/SoU/HotU doing exactly and how to set it up (someone else hopefuly advice) but on Arkhalia we are using area-wide containers that contains items we want to drop in that area, and this is default system it just need to be set up
