Need some help with custom item in renewal

[archilles89]

Hi guys, I really really need your help.

I am not used to Renewal clients, I have always used xRay.

Now I am using renewal, and it is showing nothing when I equipped it. The spr and act are all at the right places.

Here is a screenshot of what I've done:

The problem is the drop sprite is working, only the female and male sprites are not showing when I equipped them. Need help guys...

Thanks in advance!

Show the item DB entry for it.

The 19006 in your lua should NOT be the item ID, but the view ID.

And also, unless you hexed your client to read up to 20,000 view IDs, I'd really recommend a lower number, like 1000.

[archilles89]

i have already corrected the viewID.. it is now 833..

Still have the same problem. but it's slightly different now.

---------------------------

Error

---------------------------

Cannot find File : sprite\¾Ç¼¼»ç¸®\³²\³².act

---------------------------

OK

---------------------------

as you can see, if I renamed the spr and act to only ³².spr and ³².act, the game reads the item and shows it with no errors.

I still can't manage for it to read the correct name ³²_Dragonborn_Gold_Helm.spr and ³²_Dragonborn_Gold_Helm.act

Hmm, it's not reading what you have in the LUA file it seems.

Do you also have .lub files there?

Do you have it set to read from the /data/ folder first, or the grf? And do you have your client set to load LUA before LUB?

[archilles89]

Thanks for the reply, how can I know if it reads data folder or grf and how do I know if it reads LUA or LUB first? Mind teaching me?

I'll try converting all this into grf and setting it as number 0=custom.grf

I'll also try using LUB files.

Will get back to you with the results

Results:

I've tried using only LUA files in a seperate GRF and set the DATA.INI to read it first, still the same error.

I've tried using only LUB files in a seperate GRF and set the DATA.INI to read it first, same thing happens.

---------------------------

Error

---------------------------

Cannot find File : sprite\¾Ç¼¼»ç¸®\³²\³².act

---------------------------

OK

I've tried making another item and it has the same error as well.

How do I force the game to read the LUA or LUB files? It seems that it is able to trace the viewID as 833, but is unable to find _Dragonborn_Gold_Helm sprite name.

When you diff a client, one of the options is 'read data folder first' and another is 'read LUA before LUB'.

Also, since they are the last entries in each of the LUA files, take off the comma at the end.

In other words, like this.

ACCESSORY_DRAGONHELM = 800

}

No comma.

But try diffing the client first.

[archilles89]

already removed the commas, tried, failed.

[michaelsoftman]

But no luck on diffing the client?

Do you get the error message when spawning the item, or trying to wear it?

Dude try to use 2,000 ViewID

20176,xxxx,xxxxx,5,20,,100,,0,,1,0xFFFFFFFF,7,2,256,,0,0,ViewID,{},{},{}

Use ShinDiffPatcher for the Read Data Folder First or GRF
