	Cyber Smoke's Diablo Item Trainer 1.07 Readme


**** Compability ****

Works on Windows XP/7/8 with all versions of Diablo, except Diablo shareware.
Can be used as an addon to BoBaFeTT's Diablo Trainer. If the program says it requires
Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll or another library, you'll need to install Microsoft .NET Compact
Framework 2.0 SP2 on your system. Older libraries can be found in "DLLs" folder.


**** How to use this program ****

	This utility can morph ITM files. This means you can save an item
into ITM file and then change it in order to get a new one. For example, if you
have an amulet, you can morph it into a ring. To morph an item, choose "File"
from the menu, then "Open ITM File" and specify a file you want to modify.
After that, select a new item type from the list and press "Morph item".
For example, if you want to change a sword into a dagger, you'll have to pick
"Dagger" as morph code.

	Note: Sometimes it's impossible to turn an item into other forms -
you can't morph a plate into a ring, for example. If you're trying to do such a thing,
the game will correct the form of that item when it restarts. And, after loading
any morphed item, you'll also need to restart the game to check if the item was
modified properly.

	WARNING: Morphed items can cause Diablo to crash. I advise you to backup
your characters before loading any morphed items. If you've got a crash, you
won't be able to use Multi Player game option. To fix it, you'll have to
delete the damaged Multi_x.sv character file (these files are located in Diablo
folder and are used to store multiplayer character data). Simply look through all
of your Multi_x.sv files and erase the one which has the latest modification time.

	And now, to the coolest part of this program: random items. To make
a completely new random item, use "Make random item" option. Sometimes it gives
Wyrm's or Hydra's items.

	This program can also identify/unidentify items. A game restart is
not required for this feature, so it's all easy stuff here.

	To make legit-looking ears, load an ITM ear and then click on
"Create ear" button. You may edit ear type, name and level.

	This tool can also edit character names/classes in .CHA files.

	Additionally, there's also an editor for item durability & stave charges amount.

	Note: 255 is the maximum number of durability/item charges.
255 durability means the item is set to 'indestructible'.

	To make a combo item, open a file and choose "Make combo item".
You can combine two item types into a single form. One item will be used as
a "keep-form" (single player item) and the second one as item abilities data.
