For you cheaters out there (The Duplication Trick)Lost Items - guide and directory of inventory files (written for DD, works for BD)
The inventory file format has changed since DD, and the items.000 file no longer keeps track of the random stats of equipment. However, in an earlier version of the game I tried swapping equipment from late in act 1 to a new game, and the items disappeared off the ground when I ran my mouse over them. I don't know if a
patched game would do the same thing.
