[ 918176 ] No Option for Continuous Spell Effects on 
Custom Items
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?
func=detail&aid=918176&group_id=25576&atid=384719

There is currently no option when creating a custom 
item, such as a ring, to give it the "continuous" 
spell 
effect. For example, my character has commissioned a 
Ring of Spider Climb which is continuous use. It is 
NOT 
a command-word activated item, nor does it have daily 
charges. Yet there is no option for choosing this in 
the 
program. Obviously, I can choose one of the others 
and 
still create the item, just remembering the detail, 
but 
this is annoying to say the least and incorrectly 
calculates the cost of the custom item. And when 
did 'cold iron' become part of the basic cost for all 
custom items?

Thanks!

Paul, punt this over to DM as a FReq, please. There 
currently is no entry for continuous spell effect 
item. 
Once we've had a chance to see if we can get it coded 
up in data, and possibly know what kind of code we 
need added, should it be over here....

Grrr. I wonder why nobody ever bothers with describing the actual problem
in a tracker. Tir, the one here seems to be COST? I see a "workaround" in
the RSRD that splits this request into 4 EQMODs, based on the length of the
Spell duration. Is the problem here that we will need some Spell duration
variable for the COST tag, which then gets filled by the Eqbuilder to
calculate the COST?

Hm. I need to take a closer look, cause I don't understand all the fuzz
here. Why wouldn't a simple EQBUILDER EQMOD suffice here? Let's say "|Spell
Effect (In Continuous Use)".

Probably needs a spec or that equip var stuff?
