I am trying to test different aspects of the game and modding, so I opened the "items.txt" file and changed some values for Butter Knife. But they does not apply when I start the game and create a new sandbox. For example, I changed it's DisplayName to "Butter Knife Test", but in the game it is still "Butter Knife". I changed it's Weight to "3" and WeaponWeight to "2", but in the game it's still "0.3". Here are my questions: 1. Why changes to "items.txt" don't apply? Are item properties hardcoded? Is there another file to edit? 2. Which is the best way to modify existing items? For example, if I want to alter their names, weight, durability, damage, etc? I am playing the current Desura version, which seems to be (according to Desura changelog) 2.9.9.10.

Hello, guys. Today I was tinkering with items.txt and found an interesting issue that allows modders to alter default items without altering the items.txt itself. This could be useful if one would like to create a mod altering vanilla items without making players edit, remove or rewrite their items.txt (thus making it possible to uninstall such mod just by deleting it's files without restoring original items.txt from a backup or reinstalling the whole game if no such backup was made). How it works? 1. Copy the original items.txt into, say, items_new.txt. The name should be "alphabetically lower". 2. Alter all the values necessary in that new file. 3, The game will apply values from the "alphabetically lower" file. I tested it with the current Desura version, which is, I believe, 2.9.9.10. Best regards.
