[TUT] Add new effects to your server

[NavigatorCreed]

Hello,

I want to show you how to add a new effect to your private server but I wasn't working on a 4story for a very long time so if i made something worng just let me know

Ok so let's start:

First of all we need few thing to make this working.
Here is the list:

a) TItemGradeVisual.tcd and Editor to open the file ( Don't worry if you don't have one, I will post here my old editor for you )

b) Index Editor ( In this tutorial I'm using Stotterer09's Index Editor which can be found here: , unfortunately I couldn't find my own Index Editor ...

b) Sources:

- TClient.
- TProtocol.
- TMAP.

Step #1 - Open TItemGradeVisual Editor and load Tcd file:
Scroll to the end of Listbox and check how many kindID got your file, In my case I got 18 of them:



Step #2:

So if I have 18 x KindID it means that I need to create 18 new Items in the Tcd file.
To create a new Items in TItemGradeVisual click on the "Add New" in my case i need to do this 18 times.
After creating all ot this Items my tcd file looks like this:



Step #3:

Let's leave for a second the Tcd file but do not close it, we will need it later.
To create a new effect we need a textureID, probably the easiest way to find a random texture just for a test purpose is to open Index Editor and just find TextureID:



Step #4: So we got our TextureID and now we can finish editing the Tcd file:

- Set for every Item KindID from 1 to 18 ( In my case i got 18 )
- Set dwTextureID to 285967338.
- Set bOPCode to 2.
- We need also a wGrade so let's take a random numer hum maybe 25

Your Tcd file should looks like this after changes and is now ready to be saved:



Step #5: We can move now to the TProtocol Sources:

- Open NetCode.h and find following line of code:

PHP Code:

typedef enum TITEMGRADEEFFECT_TYPE 


And add the following line of code:

PHP Code:

IE_TEST 


Step #6:

- Go to the TClient Source and open TClientItem.cpp.
- Find following line of code:

PHP Code:

LPTITEMGRADEVISUAL CTClientItem::GetGradeVISUAL() 


And add following line of code:

PHP Code:

case IE_TEST:
          wGradeSkin = 25;
          break; 


Step #7:

Save everything and rebuild TProtocol, TClient and TMAP


And here is the final result ( I know it doesn't looks great but cmon it's only a test )

You need only to rebuild TMAP with new TProtocol without changing anything in TMAP.

Double check everything, I have just did it once more to check everything again and it's working, maybe you did something wrong there
