Need confirmation on old custom item method or up2date guide for 2018

Hi guys,

all the guides i find are from 2012-2014. So yeah.

I want to create a consumable that grants cash shop points on use. The function itself should be easy enough. The problem is: what files to modify and where to put them.

This article https://github.com/rathena/rathena/wiki/Custom_Items takes way to many things for granted. Why decompiling lub to lua? Why not edit it? I can open and read it, alright.

Some voices say I need to define a viewID, some say I don't. Some people use some program called xRay for SOMETHING and honestly, I prolly need an easier to understand guide.

I went with rAthena because of the superior documentation, but all the guide writers have left for the younger sister, I suppose?

yes it is fairly easy if you read the wiki it should be in the first line of structure which is item_db

XRAY/View ID's are for headgear you probably won't need it in adding a consumable items :))

Wrong section. Moved to "Database Support".

try this itemscript

501,Red_Potion,Red Potion,0,50,,70,,,,,0xFFFFFFFF,63,2,,,,,,{ #CASHPOINTS+ 1 },{},{}

 

it's just a wild guest.
