Replacing items?

    Hello, this my first post here and so on.

    I know the theory of modding from wiki, I assume that my xml files are placed correctly (mod.xml && itemDB.xml at C:\Users\myusername\Documents\Gaslamp Games\Dungeons of Dredmor\mods\mymodname\mod).

    What I want is to replace item descriptions of some items (such as wands, mushrooms and potions) with some more detailed ones. Yet, I think that instead of replacing items I put in itemDB.xml (same names as original), they are addes as a clones.

    For example:

    Code:
    <item name="Voltaic Potion" iconFile="items/potion_voltaic.png" level="6" >
        <description text="Fulminaric energies swirl around and around in this potion. The flask occasionally arcs. Effect: Voltaic Damage Resistance +6, Voltaic Damage +2 for 90 turns." />
        <potion spell="Voltaic Empowerment" />
        <price amount="520" />
    </item>
    Never ever spotted in game. I've set 'totalconversion=1', but it's not making any difference. Is that ever possible, to replace items?

    If I remember correctly, totalconversion doesn't work at this time. The only way to edit the items and not create duplicates is to edit the core game xml files and you wouldn't be able to use the steam workshop to share them or anything.
