Hello!
For those, who are too lazy to guess out how to change items types by hex editor, I wroted this text. It explain how to change item and magic types with hex editor without getting your RPG Maker 95 1.23 xp version crashed.

Open up item.dat file with hex editor. Search for item name you want to change. 8 hex before item name is beginning of item attributes. For example, it you want to edit "Cure Potion" you should find such line:

1E000600640003004375726520506F74696F6E008387839300410000

First 2 hex (1E00) is item price
Third and fourth hex (0600) is item type.

So, if you want change "Cure potion" into a weapon, you have to change 0600 to 0000

Here is a table of all items types:

0000 - weapon
0100 - armor
0200 - shield
0300 - helmet
0400 - other items
0500 - special
0600 - hp up
0700 - mp up
0800 - detx
0900 - stat rcvr
0A00 - faint rcvr
0B00 - max hp up
0C00 - max mp up
0D00 - powr up
0E00 - str up
0F00 - int up
1000 - speed up
1100 - luck up
1200 - 1st spell from list
1300 - 2nd spell from list
1400 - 3rd spell from list
1500 - 4th spell from list
1600 - 5th spell from list
1700 - 6th spell from list
1800 - 7th spell from list
1900 - 8th spell from list
1A00 - 9th spell from list
1B00 - 10th spell from list
1C00 - 11th spell from list
1D00 - 12th spell from list
1E00 - 13th spell from list
1F00 - 14th spell from list
until 7500 which stands for 100th spell in list.

If you want to change magic types, you have to open magic.dat file with hex editor. Find spell name you want to chenge. 8 hex before spell name is beginning of spell attributes. For example:

Flame Bolt
000000000F003200466C616D6520426F6C74008B8367000000000000

First hex (00) is spell type
If you want to change Flame Bolt into Paralyzing spell, change it to 03

Here is table with all spell types:

00 – Damage One
01 – Damage All
02 – Poison
03 – Paralyze
04 – Mute
05 – Confuse
06 – Sleep
07 – Unconcious
08 – Attack Down
09 – Defense Down
0A – Speed Down
0B – Hp Heal One
0C – Hp Heal All
0D – Mp Heal (One)
0E – Detx (odtrutka)
0F – Stat Rcvr
10 – Revive
11 – Attack Up
12 – Defense Up
13 – Speed Up
14 – Teleport
15 – Escape


Hope it will help you :D
