Creating my first custom item... Empty Creating my first custom item...

... and hoping I've done it right! I've checked out the example picture in the FAQ to make sure everything looks OK, and it shows both the item tag and the blueprint resref as the same. But what I've got is an item tag ("LaerynsLongbow"... I know, very original), and the blueprint resref just says "item." I can't type in anything to change it. I also wondered why the FAQ says to write down the blueprint resref (doesn't mention any need for it later...)?

I've never really used the toolset before, so any help would be appreciated! Embarassed

I'm pretty sure (though I could be wrong) that that's just there to make it easier for you to find the erf (item) when you go to export it from the file menu; you should just as easily be able to right-click on the item from the "custom items: special 1" category and select export from the drop down list there.

Alternatively, you could also select "edit copy", which should allow you to change any info you need to (tag and resref included)

Thanks. Between your reply and the Step by Step Guide by RustyDios, I think I've finally got it right. cheers
