[DMGenie] special materials

[Nelson]

hey guys!. This the first time I am writing anything on the message
board and here it goes. I am asking anybody out there why is there no
work done on special materials such as Mithril, Adamantine, Deep
Crystal, Darkwood, Cold Iron and Alchemical Silver. All these materials
are on the open license content and I was just wondering why it wasn't
put in DM Genie. Maybe I'm not looking for it hard enough for it and him
only been working with DM Genie for about a year. I tried to work on
this on my own, and came up to some problems. So is there anybody that
can help me, I would appreciate that am immensely.

Actually those materials are in DM Genie. Use the magic weapon maker to see
them. it is an attribute of the weapon..

Yes, use the Weapon Maker:

On the "Attacks Tab" hit the Add New button and then the Make Magical or Change Size
button, select the desired weapon/armor in the drop down menu, the Enhancement Bonus
it has and then any special attributes it may have (listed under the
Abilities/Materials column).

First things first, thank you for the responses, There was very quick. I fo
llowed all the steps and got to the point where the list for abilities/mate
rials column. I still don't see any materials you talk about the only thing
I see is abilities weapon/armor abilities, but no materials. So I can make
my own custom weapons/armor. I went to the custom data editor, and I found
these items that I didn't find before.
Adamantine Breastplate, Adamantine Battleaxe, Adamantine Dagger, Adamantine
Shield, Mithral Full Plate of Speed, Mithral Heavy Shield, Mithral Shirt,
Masterwork Cold Iron Longsword and Silver Dagger, Masterwork. I am using th
ese items as a template for the special materials. Maybe I can do it that way, if
you know it easier way. Let me know . I will really appreciate it.

Nope you shouldnt need to use tho se specific ones (they are listed as they
are specific magic items from the DMG and on the random treasure tables).

There should be at minimum the core dmg special materia ls that come with DM Genie.

I would check your Core Campaign and see if the special materials ar e there when
using the weapon maker. If they are you can simply use the cus tom data editor and
export them all to file and then add them in to your cu rrent "working from" campaign.
If they are not there, you may want to redow nload and reload DM Genie (you can check
the Core Campaign again), then add your current campaign (from within the campaign
manager and point it to yo ur campaign files) and work from there.

You guys were absolutely right. My core was deleted or corrupted. You guys
rock and sorry that I didn't get back to you as quickly as I should, but I
had other pressing matters and again thank you very much. Until next time
