You may download DDIE.exe version 1.1 as it is available now.
I took care of 98ES and items.000 file size problems.
You may download the whole set of CABs and the setup files or just update your DDIE.exe on the next link down at my home page.

Have fun.

No you do not have to download all the installation set if you did get err # 53 before, because that means that the file DDIE.cfg was not found in the path expected by the program, which means that the program was already running.

Therefore, you only need the new DDIE.exe which addresses the issue of items.000 file size being up to 4MB and directory path issues related to differences in defaults of every operating system version.
Now, I have included an error handling algorithm to create the text file DDIE.cfg in the application’s path and write that path inside the file as a starting point for you. So you should not have any error messages concerning file not found again.

Enjoy.

Go ahead and overwrite the old one with the new one.

And yes you can edit items that you did not find yet in the game but you must find it in the list. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
You shall always find the most recent item, which you find in the game, at the bottom of the list of found items in the editor. So you may save and quit immediately after acquiring an interesting item then edit it at the bottom of the list. This saves you the time of sorting and searching for the item later on.

A word of advice:

Keep your items proportional to the stage of the game to be rewarded with more interesting items.
If you overload your item with spells, charms, resistances and lore bonuses you shall not have any nice items dropped by the NPCs for you to collect. Most often you shall find cheese, rotten tomato and good looking carrots in barrels and NPCs might drop their handkerchiefs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Take care.
