Limited help...

[The Unabomber]

Ok we used Nightmare on 1.11o to edit in some limited items etc.. Now for some reason the game has more that the allowed amount if limiteds.. For example there are currently 4 golden headress's out when there should only be 3 and there are 6 tiger claw necklaces... how does one go about fixing this? thanks...

JUST a FYI 2 of the golden headdress's are sitting in gang vault and one on a char and the 4th is on a char as well... would the items sitting in the ganghouse have some sort of effect on the issue? I was thinking of trying this.. dunno if it will help or not.. wait for syntax to reply :P (delete wccitow2.dat, make a copy of wccitow2.vir, rename the copy to wccitow2.dat, run an offline recovery) think that will help out any? I have gone through NM and looked at some of the items in question and they are showing the correct amounts as far as limits are concerned.. *shrug*

I don't know if this helps alot, but if you edited in some limited items, it's partly your fault there's more than the limited amount floating around. As soon as somebody dies, their "extra" lim will poof, and will keep happening to everyone until there is the limited amount left in the game.

that should fix it, yeah. whoever drops their extra items first is gonna poof.

Synyax will this also fix the issue with the monsters spawning with X=(item) if the max is already out in the game for the said item, even if it is in say a ganghouse and or hidden in a room? I dont wan't limiteds to drop when they shouldnt :) Thanks..

The problem is if you edit an item into the game and it is already on a monster waiting to drop it, it's going to drop it still. so once it's dropped it shouldnt respawn one.

running an offline recovery by itself is supposed to reindex the limited items and wipe the active monster file, so yes.
