on 10/8/2009 Very nice tut. !
how ever... I just tryed the following steps, and my money value returned as -56734, when I sell an item, it counts up, but because of the "-" I can't buy anymore items before I sell items for 56734g, any idea how to fix this ?

Also... did you find a way to give your char. more levels or more attribute points, so that you can start the game with for example a level 60 guy with many attribute points ?

Kind regards
