Custom Cards

[IndieD]

Alright, I'm close to ripping my hair out. I've spent nearly two hours trying to figure out why my cards keep showing up as Unknown Items.

I'm not new to adding custom items, except custom cards, which I've searched up several guides and support topics dealing with this issue.

 

Here are all my files and the corresponding edits I've done.

 

idnum2itemdesctable

 

35000#

Grants user a 5% chance of casting Assumptio when being hit.

#idnum2itemdisplaynametable

idnum2itemdisplaynametable

 

35000#lnegation#

idnum2itemresnametable

 

35000#À̸§¾ø´ÂÄ«µå#

itemInfo.lub

	[35000] = {
		unidentifiedDisplayName = "Card",
		unidentifiedResourceName  = "이름없는카드",
		unidentifiedDescriptionName = {
			"Your description",
			"Item Class: ^777777Card^000000",
			"Equip on: ^777777Garment^000000",
			"Weight: ^7777771^000000",
		},
		identifiedDisplayName = "Custom Card",
		identifiedResourceName = "이름없는카드",
		identifiedDescriptionName = {
			"Your description",
			"Item Class: ^777777Card^000000",
			"Equip on: ^777777Garment^000000",
			"Weight: ^7777771^000000",
		},
		slotCount = 0,
		ClassNum = 0
	},

Now, with the itemInfo.lub, I had it at .lua before, and after I patch, I get an error stating there's an unknown symbol after "[".

I'm super close to calling it a night, but I'd rather get this settled before I do.

 

Any help? Not sure what I'm doing incorrectly.

data/idnum2item* text files

system/itemInfo  files ...LUA or LUB...

 

you have to make up your mind which one is exactly read by your client.. both are different.

[Neo-Mind]

Adding custom cards is no different from adding any other custom item (well there would be few extra steps like putting the card bmp file in proper location and adding prefix/suffix to show when the card is bound to an equipment - both still follow the old way it was done)
 
Now since you see an error after adding an entry in iteminfo lua file it means your client is reading the lua file instead of the id2num desctable and nametable txt files, So focus on the lua file.
 
As for the error, the syntax looks ok . just check if there is a comma added before your [35000].

Maybe the problem is the client itself? example: your client was 2012-04-12 and using itemInfo.lub or 2013-08-07 with idnums

Note:
2012-04-12 and lower uses idnum2itemdesctable, idnum2itemdisplaynametable, idnum2itemresnametable, num2itemdesctable, num2itemdisplaynametable, num2itemresnametable and itemslotcounttable

2012-04-18 and above uses itemInfo.lua/lub

Alrighty, so I've tried just about everything.

 

I've done it the way I've always done, resname, display and desc.txts didn't work.

I've tried making it using .lua alone and .lub alone, and neither of those worked. I've also added in the card sprite and textures, and connected them using the 3 files and their respectable num2/id files.

 

Probably should've mentioned I'm using 2013-08-07.

 

EDIT:

 

Alright, so I'm editing the data/system/itemInfo.lua and this is my entry:

	[26000] = {
		unidentifiedDisplayName = "Card",
		unidentifiedResourceName = "이름없는카드",
		unidentifiedDescriptionName = {
			"Gain a 5% chance of casting Assumptio when being attacked.",
			"Class :^777777 Card^000000",
			"Compound on :^777777 Armor^000000",
			"Weight :^777777 1^000000",
		},
		identifiedDisplayName = "Lesser Negation Card",
		identifiedResourceName = "이름없는카드",
		identifiedDescriptionName = {
			"Gain a 5% chance of casting Assumptio when being attacked.",
			"Class :^777777 Card^000000",
			"Compound on :^777777 Armor^000000",
			"Weight :^777777 1^000000",
		},
		slotCount = 0,
		ClassNum = 0
	},

I've changed the ID of the card because it was conflicting with Dead Fog Stone, now it's 26000.

Here's my item_db entry.

26000,lnegation,Lesser Negation Card,6,1,1,1,,,,,0xFFFFFFFF,0,2,16,,,,,{bonus3 bAutoSpellWhenHit,361,1,50;},{},{}

I mean, I've never had this issue before, and it's really hindering progress on my server since it's just the last thing I need to do besides touch ups before I can release. Would it be possible to list all the files I'd need to edit? Once again, I've gone through certain threads multiple times to get a thorough answer and have followed each guide step by step, but I've yet to come to a solution.

Alright, so an update.

I've got the correct files working. Turns out it needs to be patched directly into ROFolder > System > itemInfo.lua.

However, when I use Thor to create a patch, the patch goes into ROFolder > System > System > itemInfo.lua.

 

How do I patch it directly into the System > itemInfo.lua? I've tried various ways of doing this.

[Reaper_san]

Maybe it have an extra file and step like the custom books?

Maybe... "carditemnametable.txt"??

[IndieD]

I've got it working correctly now.

 

Been really busy lately, so updating was during down time.

Anyway, my mistake was that when creating your .thor patch, when choosing your file, don't make it data/System and then chose Other and inputting /System. That created a new folder "System" making it data/System/System.
