Creating a custom etc item with the same sprite of an original item

[evespiridion]

As the title says, I want to create a custom item with the same sprite of a pre-existing item in-game. For example jellopy. Can I just use the jellopy sprite in the data.grf for this? Or do I have to copy and paste jellopy's sprites and rename it into the new item I wanted? Thanks.

Yes. When you're adding the item to your num2 files, just direct it to the original item's sprite.

yeah you can use it just put like this in the idnum2itemresnametable

<CustomEtcID>#Á©·ÎÇÇ#

db/item_avail.txt ?

It will copy the item server-side and tell to the client that your custom item is another item (so no need to add something client-side).

Yep. Just look up the idnum2resnametable of Jellopy's item id and you should be good in terms of copying the sprite look.
