    Hi everyone,

    I'm using Mod Pack 5.9.1 and I'm running XP. Everytime I create an item w/all 3 bursts, the game crashes. Any fixes? Does 5.9.2 fix this?

    I know what's happening. When you add another ability to the item, you need to edit the name of it up in the naming box, which is in blue letters. Everytime you add another ability, it simply adds those letters on to the end of the item, making it much too long and making it crash. You can name the item whatever you want, so long as it isn't going off the end of the naming box.

    I like to name my weapons Chunky Monkey, Mad Dog, I Am The Eggman, I Am The Walrus, Koo Koo Koo Choo, Yellow Matter Cluster, etc.

    Necro,

    No 'East Coast Girls" or 'Ba ba ba ba ba baran?" or "God Only Knows?"

    The beach boys would be displeased with you sir.

    The easiest thing is to remove the word "masterwork", as that's a given with magical. Also you don't need +1+2, and shocking burst becomes SB, etc, so at least you know what you have.

    You can also use the delete key to take out all that extra text and make +3 SB, FB IB, for the various burst weapons if you still want the standard weapon description. Though i will admit I like Necro's warped sense of thinking on his naming routine. :D

    Hah hah, and there I thought I was the only one naming their weapons weird names like "slappy the dog sitter" or "wet noodle".

    Ha, I used that once! Except it was a Holy Beaver Cleaver. Also had an animal companion, Sir Cluckalot.
