Your explanations are really useful but I´m so ankward with PC operations.

Anyway, thank you so much for your time and your help.

Nice to talk to you

I think if you played with the editor and checked out some of the items I mentioned you may get how it works and can create a new session in the editor, create your item, and then paste it into the CW ITEMS.TXT that you are modding.

I think that is your best bet, otherwise working with the items without the editor is really tricky.

Good luck!

Actually its only available with CW so you should have it, but you have to download some additional stuff since some places where you purchase it don't include everything.

See this post:

And there is a whole section devoted to the CW Editor:

The editor is buggy and tends to crash a lot (at least on my computer), but it is a great way to get started with altering the game files especially if you're not much of a code person. After you launch the editor, load a session, then a map, and then go to Sessions -> Items to start looking at items. They are listed alphabetically by their names in ITEMS.TXT. Also pay attention to the includes at the beginning of ITEMS.TXT:

1. ==medals.txt
2. ==hidden.txt
3. ==spells.txt // include
4. ==spells_adventure.txt // include
5. ==specials.txt // include
6. ==boss.txt // include
7. ==effects.txt // include
8. ==companion.txt // include
9. ==items_quest.txt
10. ==items_monster.txt
11. ==params.txt
12. ==special_params.txt
13. ==new_specials.txt
14. ==new_spells.txt
15. ==arena_spells.txt

Note that MEDALS, HIDDEN, COMPANION, ITEMS_QUEST, and ITEMS_MONSTER all include items that are aggregated in Sessions -> Items when you pull it up in the editor so you can literally page through all the items in the game and double click an item to start editing it (or at least perusing how its capabilities are implemented).

You'll find that MEDALS are just items that are added to your hero when you attain that medal and HIDDEN includes the pet dragon bonuses as well as the adventure spell bonuses so these are both good things to add to your list of items to look at in the editor.

Let me know if you have any more questions!

Thank so much again and again and again... haha!

I´m going to download this archives but in my KBCW doesn´t appear the Editor, or maybe i don´t know where it is. The editor appears when y launch the game or it should be in a folder??

Hey, no problem - that's what we're here for...

It should be in the program group where KBCW was installed. I'm using Windows 8 and it is in my 1C Company group in the All Apps sections of the start screen (note that editor PDF manual is also here). I also have Windows 7 and I think it was installed in 1C Company as well under the start menu.

Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions!

I don´t know why but I don´t have the KBCW Editor. I´ll try to reinstall the game, maybe was an error.

Another question totally diferent, I played Red Sands two years ago but I erase all the components and now I would like to play it again. I saw yesterday there was a new Red Sands version, 1.8 version but there are a lot of links to download it and I don´t know which ones are the corrects links.

Could you help me with this? My KBCW version 1.3.1 (I bought Collectors Edition last year)

Thank so much
