Custom Items... Weapon Ineffective

[uncleclinto]

Hey all,

 

I'm trying to throw these NPC's together, and I'd like to give them some custom weapons.

 

Problem:

 

In game-testing all of my weapons made in smithy or Ieep work fine until I confront a Vampire or shadow. Then, I get the old "Weapon Ineffective" message no matter how powerful the enchantment.

 

Things I've tried:

• Checking the flags (magical, iron, silver)
  
• Exporting an in-game item and changing the name.
  
• Cursing in frustration
  

I can only imagine this is a weakness inherent in the editors. Even if I export an item from in-game and change nothing but the name it does not work, while the original does. I can put both in inventory and switch back and forth. The one from in-game will do 15 points of damage then the same sword with a different name will be entirely ineffective. I can't help but notice that Chloe's custom gear works, so it must be possible. What must I do?

You need to set the enchantment level--I've never used Smithy and haven't used IEEP in years, so they might call it something different.

Try using DLTCEP or Near Infinity.

I have Near Infinity. I'll try the enchantment level in NI.
