How important is 'ClassNum' field in iteminfo.lub?

[HristDead]

Hi rAthena,

I noticed something interesting today when I was fixing up some costumes. I was obligated to change the view ID range of them because the range I choose (4500s) weren't working, so I went for 2600s instead. Right so I changed the view IDs in item_db.txt and in accessoryid.lub, then rebooted my server to see if that did the trick.

To my surprise, they show up fine now... I find it pretty weird because the (iteminfo.lub's) ClassNum of the costumes haven't been changed yet/are still in the 4500s range. Which makes me wonder... Actually how important is setting the ClassNum field for headgears/costumes? I was certain it needed to correspond with the view ID defined in the other files. Could someone shed some light?

on the character selection , the view id come from the server

after that inside the game the view id come from the lua files

 

to put high view id in the client , you need to patch your client to allow that , use nemo for that

Hi. Thanks Sader. I get that. However that still doesn't explain why my costumes work if the view ID in 'Classum' (iteminfo.lub) does not correspond with the view IDs i've set in the item_db.txt and accessoryid.lub.

Shouldn't they be blank if it doesn't correspond? 

I'm asking because I have hundreds of costumes and prefer not editing the view IDs in iteminfo.lub as you might imagine, but I don't know if keeping the old (4500s) view IDs will screw anything up if I do.

If I'm not wrong clients before 2018-01-24 don't need ClassNum field, as stated by Zackdreaver's translation project, doc/compatibility list.md.
