Well, I still cannot assign crossbows to Rogue hirelings even though weapon allowances are now in the Hirelings.txt file. I can put 'xbow' into her second weapon slot, but I can't equip her with any crossbows in-game. Yes, her stats are high enough.The WType1 and WType2 fields have been in the file since the release of LoD, but they have never been used. The items that are allowed to be used on the hirelings is actually hardcoded into the DLLs. You would need to edit the DLL executable to allow whis weapon type instead or you could try adding the bow itemtype to the xbow Equiv2 field. But this latter maethod may cause other problems with how the game ends up treating crossbows in other situations. Either way it will not show the rogue as using a crossbow, only the bow as that is the only graphic that she has for the weapon that she uses.
