Patch maps not items

[Kurby]

I follow the procedure the way I would without a patcher to create items, just in a separate data folder. I use the GRFBuilder to create a GPF and merge dir to the separate data folder I created.

Patchlist is setup correctly, it loads the patch & my custom.GRF has all the files inside it that were in the separate data folder, but I log into the server and my item still says "Unknown Item"

I followed the procedure perfectly using maps with the patcher, they all ended up working flawlessly. I don't understand why the items won't work?

Maybe your client is not diffed for more item ids?

And are you sure that the grf files are in the correct order? (data.ini -> first custom then the rest)

I can add in the item without the patcher, but I'm trying to config the patcher so my friends can get the items too. So I think my client can get more item ids

[Data]
0=myRO.grf
1=data.grf
2=rdata.grf
3=sdata.grf
4=koth01.grf

o.O

So basically the items work when they are in your data folder but not if you use the grf??

And you can see the files inside the grf when patched.

Oh my gosh...

Maybe you got the structure in your grf wrong?

And your updated lua files are in the patch too?

Everything is in the GRF, it just doesn't seem to work when I use the GRF. I can use the maps with the GRF though? It just doesn't seem to make any sense to me.

By GRF structure do you mean location of where I put the items?
