Any chance you could be more specific on the detail and shading aspect this is my first attempt at spriting a weapon I have a few hundred headgears and wings and whatnot that I have done over the years but most of that was taking existing sprites from other games and editing them to fit RO, and many diffferent recolors I have done for people I only have ever actually from scratch sprited like 6 things and I never did get a good grasp on how one would go about shading seeing as how I used to use paint thanks to DevilEvil I just switched to GraphicsGale but Im still trying to figure out how to properly use it I also have photoshop CS5 but Devil said not to use that unless its for a making a tga sprite for the glowing effect Im adding to this sword and a few other sprites I have almost ready. I'm also looking for a easier way to get the act files done because editing every frame in every direction for every job really sucks because the sword is never where I want it its always just in the middle of the act V_V

I was able to get it to work but the sprite is messed up Ill show you if you want I can fix the sprite for you OK so adding custom wings is not difficult Ill show you everything I did to get them to show up. Renamed the sprites you were using from arch_red to ³²_arch_red.spr ³²_arch_red.act and ¿©_arch_red.spr ¿©_arch_red.act put the drop sprite here C:\rAthena\data\sprite\¾ÆÀÌÅÛ put the female wing sprite here C:\rAthena\data\sprite\¾Ç¼¼»ç¸®\¿© put the male wing sprite here C:\rAthena\data\sprite\¾Ç¼¼»ç¸®\³² put the item bmps here C:\rAthena\data\texture\À¯ÀúÀÎÅÍÆäÀ̽º\item put the collection bmps here C:\rAthena\data\texture\À¯ÀúÀÎÅÍÆäÀ̽º\collection The lua files should be in this folder C:\rAthena\data\luafiles514\lua files\datainfo accname.lua - [ACCESSORY_IDs.ACCESSORY_ARCH_RED] = "_arch_red", accessoryid.lua - ACCESSORY_ARCH_RED = 1528, item_db2.txt 20261,arch_red,Arch Red,5,0,0,10,0,50,0,4,0xFFFFFFFF,7,2,1,,0,1,1528,{ bonus bAllStats,200; },{},{} idnum2itemdesctable.txt 20261# Arch Red +200 All Stats # idnum2itemdisplaynametable.txt 20261#Arch_Red# idnum2itemresnametable.txt 20261#arch_red# itemslotcounttable.txt 20261#4# num2itemdesctable.txt 20261# Unidentified item, can be identified with [Magnifier]. # num2itemdisplaynametable.txt 20261#Arch_Red# num2itemresnametable.txt 20261#arch_red# and this is what it looks like

Yea I cant get that curve to look right without making it look to bulky its rather frustrating trying to make nice clean curves with so little space

post the sprite your trying to use Ill try to add it real quick to my test server so I can be sure if the issue is with you adding it or if its with a faulty sprite which is also possible The issue could also be with your client it may only be diffed for 2000 Headgears I would try lowering you ViewID to say 1500 or 1600 My custom headgears go from ViewID 1003 - 1527 and all those Views work fine so yea its just a suggestion

So I have been out of the RO scene since around 2010 and I'm new to rA I just updated my server and got everything working flawlessly item,npcs,mobs, all that so I decided to get back into spriting and after watching alot of SAO I decided to try spriting weapons which is new territory for me. I have seen the Elucidator a few times on here but I tend to prefer to make my owns sprites basically I just want opinions and constructive criticism on the quick mock up I made. So yea here it is Zoomed Here is what I was attempting to make for those who don't know

Your viewID is wrong did you be sure to add everything to accname.lua and accessoryid.lua if so show me your Item_db2.txt line for this item and the lines from those 2 lua files

That sounds like a good idea but as I said I literally know nothing about MySQL so is there a guide I can read somewhere on how to do that?

First of all, I would like to apologize if this is the wrong section. I considered posting this in 3rd Party Support, but since I seen other threads to do with MySQL in this section I figured it must be the right area OK moving on some background info on my issue, I have had many private servers over the years I typically stuck with TXT based because my old computer could never run MySQL for some reason. When I got my new computer I just kept going with TXT that is until about a month ago when I got my first rAthena client because I really enjoyed some of Euphy's scripts which only worked properly on rA instead of eA and 3ceAm. Seeing as how rA only supports SQL based servers I finally decided to go with the times and use one. I installed everything got all my old NPCs, Custom Jobs, Maps, Items, and all that working, installed and configured MySQL, updated to a new client and everything was going great for about a month. Then a storm came by like 2 weeks ago and knocked out my power for literally 2 seconds I turned my computer back on tried to run my server when I ran into this common issue : Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' <using password: YES> So I checked my inter_athena nothing was changed and everything looked fine. I looked around on rA found other people with the same issue but nothing helped my issue so I assumed the issue has to be with MySQL itself so I started looking on MySQL support threads on other sites and couldn't really make heads or tails of anything. (as I said this is my first SQL server) Seeing as how I am not to familiar with how the MySQL workbench works or where to find where the passwords for root@localhost are stored I tried a popular suggestion of completely uninstalling MySQL and re-installing it. That didn't work still have the same issue. I found a way to change the root password which didn't work at all so i kept uninstalling and re-installing it never worked. So I tried installing again but this time not setting a password for root that just gave me this error instead. [sql]: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' <using password: NO> I also tried installing again and this time making a new account in MySQL along side the root account and redoing all the SQL side of things using the new account but i just got. [sql]: Access denied for user 'TwiztidSinX'@'localhost' <using password: YES> The only difference I can tell that has happened since the computer restarted is before when using MySQL workbench when I would click on Local MySQL55 User: root Host: localhost:3306 It would pop up a password prompt now when I click on it there is no password prompt even when I set a password for root so whether I set a password for root or not I still do not get a password prompt anymore I'm sorry I'm asking for help I usually can figure this stuff out on my own but as you can tell, I have done the research and tried everything I can possibly think of so I'm in over my head here any help that I haven't already tried would be most greatly appreciated. If anyone can help you have my most sincere thanks. Ok I'm sorry now for posting this but as usual I figured it out and fixed it myself. Isn't that how it always works you finally break down and take a punch to your pride and ask for help, then you figure it out anyways. for future reference and for anyone else having this issue it was actually fixed by uninstalling and re-installing Except I tried to re-install in safe mode and It just kept automatically crashing so I went out of safe mode and ran the MySQL Installer as Administrator everything installed fine and when I was configuring everything, I got to the point where you give root a password, but instead of being the normal 2 lines where you give it a password and then repeat said password I had 3 lines this time they were Current root Password New root Password Repeat Password I fought with it like 4 times trying to figure out what was going on because whenever I would try to finish the configuration I would get the all to familiar, Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' <using password: YES> So I figured that meant I was getting my current root password wrong, I then figured apparently it saved a root password from my previous install before the storm, but that to gave me Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' <using password: YES> So what I finally tried which did work was simply putting the original root password which is nothing just blank for the Current Root Password then for the New Root Password and repeat root password parts I just came up with a password I then went into MySQL workbench added the Main.sql and logs.sql into they're proper places edited the inter_athena.conf for my new password and all worked well. now I just have to pray my computer never restarts ever again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since this issue has been resolved it can be closed unless leaving it open helps other people with the same issue. Seeing as how I kinda covered every possible way to fix said issue.

Well if you are getting : Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' <using password: YES>Then it is not blank if it was blank it would say [sql]: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' <using password: NO> either way a Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' error means that what you are putting now does not match what you put for the root password when you installed MySQL during the Configuration part Re-Install MySQL and when it is configuring the MySQL Server put the password you want there. Then in your inter_athena.conf put your root password in all 4 spots that it asks for it.

There are some differences Its better if you just open both your rA and eA versions of the files and change it to how you had in your eA.

Go to your data folder you will find a clientinfo.xml right click edit in notepad look for this line <admin>2000000</admin> the <admin></admin> means the account number in this case 2000000 will be wearing GM clothes if you dont want GM clothes at all just delete all the lines that start with <admin>

Just add it manually, I just tested it on rAthena 17352 and the only issues it had were 1>..\src\map\atcommand.c(1347): warning C4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'msg_txt' 1>..\src\map\atcommand.c(1347): warning C4047: 'function' : 'map_session_data *' differs in levels of indirection from 'int' 1>..\src\map\atcommand.c(1347): warning C4024: 'map_msg_txt' : different types for formal and actual parameter 1 1>..\src\map\atcommand.c(1347): error C2059: syntax error : ')' 1>..\src\map\atcommand.c(1357): warning C4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'msg_txt' 1>..\src\map\atcommand.c(1357): warning C4047: 'function' : 'map_session_data *' differs in levels of indirection from 'int' 1>..\src\map\atcommand.c(1357): warning C4024: 'map_msg_txt' : different types for formal and actual parameter 1 1>..\src\map\atcommand.c(1357): error C2059: syntax error : ')' 1>..\src\map\atcommand.c(1375): warning C4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'msg_txt' 1>..\src\map\atcommand.c(1375): warning C4047: 'function' : 'map_session_data *' differs in levels of indirection from 'int' 1>..\src\map\atcommand.c(1375): warning C4024: 'map_msg_txt' : different types for formal and actual parameter 1 1>..\src\map\atcommand.c(1375): error C2059: syntax error : ')' Which is actually a simple fix it just means take these three lines clif_displaymessage(fd, msg_txt(96)); // Incorrect name or ID, or no one from the party is online. clif_displaymessage(fd, msg_txt(94)); // Incorrect name/ID, or no one from the guild is online. clif_displaymessage(fd, msg_txt(18)); // Item created. And change them to clif_displaymessage(fd, msg_txt(sd,96)); // Incorrect name or ID, or no one from the party is online. clif_displaymessage(fd, msg_txt(sd,94)); // Incorrect name/ID, or no one from the guild is online. clif_displaymessage(fd, msg_txt(sd,18)); // Item created. And it will run without errors

Any chance you can get this up to date? I only play RO offline or in a small group of friends hosting PC and I haven't updated data or rdata in over a year. I finally just moved on to rAthena and set up a new server and I am getting Gravity Errors left and right from missing Item sprites with the Costume system and all that. and I have tried getting - 2601 2012-12-11data_j.gpf 6 times its a 132MB patch and so it takes me around an hour and a half just to download the patch then when its at 99.9% finished it stops and says failed to retrieve. So my final option is to Manually download the patch either from a download site or in the form of a torrent and since no one has done extensive archiving like that. Your post here is the closest I have come It would be greatly appreciated if you could keep going with this project if you can
