I have created theme for new houses.
Harley I know what you want to do. I am sorry but I have never patched in new multis into the multis.mul file. I did once create a deed for the Minax Stronghold but that already exists in the multis.mul file. I can help you with creating the itemdesc.cfg entries but as for patching the new multi into the multis.mul file I cannot.
First you'll need to create a deed entry for the new house. I am going to use examples so you'll have to change the data to fit your situation.
Deed entry in itemdesc.cfg file:
Code:
Item 0xNNNN
{
Name newhousedeed
Desc deed to a new style house
Graphic 0x14F0
Script houseDeed
newbie 1
VendorSellsFor 300000
VendorBuysFor 76500
HouseObjType newstylehouse
cprop numlockdowns i86
cprop numsecure i4
}
Entry in itemdesc.cfg for the actual house item:
Code:
House 0xNNNN
{
Name newstylehouse
WalkOnScript houseBanning
Graphic 0xYYYY
MultiID 0xID
// OldObjtype 0x4066 this is not used by housedeed.src
}
Note that 'NNNN' should be replaced with unique objtype numbers above 0x4FFF and below 0xEE00. The value for Graphic 0xYYYY should be an unused number in the range of 0x4000 - 0x4FFF. I have to be honest that I do not know how to determine what the right number for that graphic should be. I have only experimented with this a couple of times. Maybe someone can add to this info.
I hope this is helpful. Sorry I can't help you more.
