Prefix and Suffix Data

Prefix and Suffix Data

Beginning Offset in Diablo is 7AAF8 (79AA8). In Hellfire, it's 8A820.

Each prefix/suffix is 48 bytes in length, which is 3 lines in the hex editor. Place your cursor on the starting point of a prefix/suffix and drag it along until you see this at the very bottom... "Sel 0x30". Everything you have highlighted is the data for one prefix/suffix.

**Note** The first byte in each string will be referenced as Byte 0, not Byte 1.

Bytes	Effect
0-3	Name Pointer The pointers are written in reverse byte order, which means they are read from right to left. For example, Tin's pointer is '400649' (Diablo). In reverse order, this is '490640'. To find out where the pointer points to, you must subtract a hex value to get the offset to go to. In Diablo, this is '402200'. In Hellfire, it's '401600'. Subtracting '402200' from '490640' will give you '8E440'. That's the location of the name 'Tin'. Simple, eh? =)

8-11	Minimum effect value
12-15	Maximum effect value
16-19	Quality level
20-22	Occurance probability (bit encoded) Byte 20= Bows and jewelry Byte 21= Weapons and staves Byte 22= Armor and shields For the prefix/suffix to appear on a specific item type, a value of "1" must be given at the specific location. For instance, you want a prefix/suffix to appear on weapons only. You would give byte 21 a value of "10", which gives the prefix/suffix to weapons, but not staves. A value of "11" at byte 21 will give the prefix/suffix to both weapons and staves. Same goes for the other 2 bytes. A full row of ones (111111) will make that prefix/suffix available to all item types.
23	Always zero
24-31	Excluded combinations indicator Can have a value of "00000000", "00000001" or "00000010". Values "00000001" and "00000010" cannot form a combination
32-35	Cursed Flag A value of "00000000" signifies the prefix/suffix as cursed. "01000000" signifies it as not. If the item is cursed, it will not be sold at the shops (my best guess)
36-39	Minimum gold value
40-43	Maximum gold value
44-47	Multiplier Deals with how the game calculates the prefix/suffix's item value.
