    I *think* what you're after is in Description.mes

    Ie. A whole load of items plus corresponding numbers. I have plans of putting Description.mes up on my site in the resources section... In fact, I'm going to go home and do it tonight...

    http://users.senet.com.au/~dbschah/resources.htm

    Check there in... Oh, say 5 hours from the time this was posted.. Should find what you want then. Either that... Or I slacked off and decided to bum around home instead... :smile:

    Long, wordy reason why you can't use items names in 'gamedesc.mes':

    The names in 'gamedesc.mes' are defined only within a mod and they only apply to prototype items manually given those descriptions in WorldEd when creating that mod. This precludes using any of these names in Arcanum outside the mod.

    Example:
    I have an item called 'Randel's Big Friggin' Hammer' in 'gamedesc.mes'. I place an item on a map in WorldEd and then I have to manually assign a hammer the name 'Randel's Big Friggin' Hammer'. I can also change the base attributes of whatever hammer I assigned that name to. If I wanted more than one copy of this hammer in the mod I would have to place manually as well.
