Changing TIDs to see new items?

06/03/2011 12:37 drwx#1
Hello to everyone!

I search for a way to display some item icons that I can't easily access in game and get screenshots of them, which after I will crop to 50x50 and use in my website. I thought that changing the TIDs of some easy-to-find items and replace them with the TIDs of the icons I need to see, should solve my problem. So I switched the TIDs between a normal armor and a realm armor, also the TID of a normal armor with a TID of a quest item, but no luck, it keeps showing me the original icon (and info) and not the one I was expecting to see.

The files I tried to change, were:
itemtemplateentry.ini
itemdatatable.txt
itemtemplate/Reference.Dat
I tried lot of combinations so far, but none worked.

Does anybody has any suggestions of whice files should I change or which combination should I use? Or does anybody know any other way to see/get the item icons? Because I also searched all the .png files in each Data.dat, but there are no pictures of items there, I only found some other UI pictures.

If you mean the DatTool, I have already used it, but I couldn't find any images of items in the dat files, just some other images, like maps and interface.

its in itemtemplate
Go there and search at the top texture=[number]
then go to the item you wish and change [number]=[TID of item wich icon you want it to have]

i hope this helped

It didn't work. I tried this by switching the [TID] of a bibulan skirt (existed) and a bedilla hairlace (wanted) and the icon remained the same, the only thing that changed was the name of the item and nothing else.

Pity! I will keep trying though, maybe there is another way somehow (I'll let you know if I find something)

i have found out how to change the icon but you need to decompress the .dat files then search for the correct texture and then change it.
kinda complicated
