Changing A Gold Coin Is A Headache For Me -__-

[Dolphin86]

Hey guys i was trying to change Gold Coin ID Number 671 to Rabbit Coin with simple item info display "Rabbit Coin"

but for somehow i dint even manage to do that, at 1st i follow a guide on how to add custom items, but since im just changing 

gold coin to rabbit coin i  did some changes only to the files that will effect, so here what i did:

 

1. Extract idnum2itemdesctable.txt and edit

671#
Rabbit Coin.
Donation Coin.
^FFFFFF_^000000
Weight: ^7777770^000000

2. Extract idnum2itemdisplaynametable.txt and edit

671#Rabbit_Coin#

3. Extract num2itemdesctable.txt and edit

671#
Rabbit Coin.
Donation Coin.
^FFFFFF_^000000
Weight: ^7777770^000000

4. Extract num2itemdisplaynametable.txt and edit

671#Rabbit_Coin#

5. Compile all the files to .thor and upload to my patch site

rabbit.ragnarok.sx/test/patch/data

6. Edit plist.txt

1 01.thor

7. Patch ! and run server, item name and display still same so google for solution.....

 

8. Found out it had something to do with lua files so i download a master translation and edit my :

    System/itemInfo.lua:

[671] = {
  unidentifiedDisplayName = "Rabbit Coin",
  unidentifiedResourceName = "금화",
  unidentifiedDescriptionName = {
   "Donation Coin.",
   "^FFFFFF_^000000",
   "Weight: ^7777770^000000"
  },
  identifiedDisplayName = "Rabbit Coin",
  identifiedResourceName = "금화",
  identifiedDescriptionName = {
   "Donation Coin.",
   "^FFFFFF_^000000",
   "Weight: ^7777770^000000"
  },
  slotCount = 0,
  ClassNum = 0
},

9. Still failed, my current exe are:

itemInfo.lua, when hex ur client, u made it reads itemInfo.lua or itemInfo.lub?

Did you change the item's name in the item_db as well? Depending on your settings, the server might take priority of the item_db name rather than the client-side name.

 

Also, I suggest rather than changing item information you simply create a new item. Here's a brief overview for what you have to do:

 

1. Decide on an item ID that you want. Let's use 14700 as an example.

2. Now, go to your item_db2 and at the end of the script, put this code:

14700,Rabbit_Coin,Rabbit Coin,2,10000,,40,,,,,0xFFFFFFFF,7,3,,,,,,{},{},{}

3. Save the file and exit.

4. Go to idnum2itemdesctable, and put this:

14700#
<Insert your desired text here>
^ffffff_^000000
Weight :^777777 1^000000
#

5. Now go to idnum2itemdisplaynametable. Add a line at the bottom: 14700#Rabbit_Coin#

6. Next, go to idnum2itemresnametable, and add this line at the bottom:

14700#±ÝÈ­#

Save, exit, restart. Your item should work perfectly fine. If it doesn't, then I'm not sure how to help you.

i will try this

[GreenMagic793]

Good luck, let me know how it goes!

[Dolphin86]

dint work when i try @item 19508 it came out with some helm...

ahh that id had been taken doing all over again

unknown item......................*apple sprites*

Good luck, let me know how it goes!

 

do i need to edit lua files and those num2 files?

i have edited those num2 files also my ItemInfo.lua

Edited September 18, 2015 by dolphincute

Are you sure that ID isn't already taken by another item? Open up your item_db and use CTRL+F to search for 19508 and see if it's already being used. Also, remember, certain server versions don't support item IDs past a certain number. The easiest thing to do is just use the next item ID after the last item in the item_db, so if the last item is ID 14700, use 14701.

 

You shouldn't need to edit lua files or anything... And those num2 files are only for items that need to be identified. The coin's sprite and info are already in the game files so this is mostly a server-side edit aside from the desctable and whatnot.

 

The fact you're getting a weird, random helm makes me think that either the ID is already taken or you missed some small little thing. Try retracing those steps I mentioned again and see if it works. This has always been the way I've made custom items so I don't see why it wouldn't work for you.

 

Pay close attention to your idnum2itemresnametable because usually when you have an item that appears as an unknown apple it means something is screwed up with the sprite. Also, don't forget that you need to restart the game (as in, closing your ragnarok window and reopening it) for client edits to take effect.

Since 2012-04-18a, are using Lua 5.14, that means they started to read item info ffrom (by default) System/itemInfo.lub. not (id)num* files anymore.

 

It's simple, if .lua doesn't work, just rename it to .lub, and otherwise.

ok its working now, changed lua files and import them to patch files, ( Need to recheck the thor maker since some files dint extracted to correct files)

and now its all good thanks guys
