Could you help me make random weapons/armour/items, like in diablo, or almost any other (usually mmo) RPG.
I mean where you pick up a sword for example and it could be "+1 attack" or "+2 magic" and named differently, and this is all randomised with different name combinations and stat bonuses. That would be good because I'm thinking of making an RPG where the weapon possibilities are (almost) endless...
I have the ENTIRE C&C: Tiberian Dawn soundtrack. Extracted from the original game, in all it's succulent beauty. Oh baby, it's true. PM me for details on how to get it if you want.

you could just make the weapon an active object and use its alterable values? let alterable value a stand for "magic" for example. then just set alterable value A to random(5)?
Where the fluff name has no effect, the first prefix has to do with durability, the second an elemental effect, the weapontype is the class of weapon, the suffix a magic effect, and the modifer the + attribute.
You could simply have a system where each name segment has a corresponding value, for example a weapon with a durability of 3 might have the prefix1 of "fine" and anything with a value of zero simply being "". Apart from the weapon class, obviously.
So something with the attributes, respectively
[0][1][0][Axe][0][2]
Is rendered as:
""+"Dull "+""+"Axe "+""+"/+ 2"
or
"Dull Axe +2".
Or for example [12][5][3][Ninja Stars][7][4] would be
"Phil Collins' Sharp Ice Ninja Stars of Draining +4".
-item is NORMAL
-item is BODY ARMOR
-> set BODY ARMOR counter to random (3)
BODY ARMOR counter = 0 = item is leather tunic
1 = studdedleather armor
2 = ringmail
3 = hauberk
Really simple (maybe horribly explained) but you should random things in this order:
1. type1 (armour / weapon)
2. type2 (normal / only prefix / only suffix / both prefix and suffix)
3. type3 (a special item from current type1 group)
This way it's easy to AVOID having such items like CRUEL hauberk of SLAYING
(so you have different prefixes & suffixes for all groups)
I can make an example for you if you're too stupid to figure out this yourself.
