Need Help With Skills

Sorry for yet another "need help" post but its true xD. my problem is that i need to know how to change the skills and make them work physically and visually, as far as buffs , i'm just trying to make all buffs last for an hour and make them work visually. i know you have to change "KeepTime" in sql thats the physical part but when i /server restart /patch it in , it doesn't look right.

basically i'm hoping someone who has successfully done this on their server will let me know what to do to make them work fully.

ty in advance.

***Edit***
One extra question , which coloum effects what makes a skill an AoE?

I managed to get the skill.sdata file to open in csv format i changed what i wanted to change. now i just need to know how to execute it in sql? ..im gonna try to patch it via castors tool but if i need to do something else let me know plz **Edit** this didn't work.

well first thing , my server is ep4.5 so im not trying to get 3+ skills i was just wondering how to make extended times for buffs work physically and visually. Here is a screen shot of what my buffs look like.

Well if u are using a editor just open Skills.sdata edit what it says to match what u changed your buffs to do. Then import it back into your DB.

thats what i did and this was the result , i was hoping that someone would share with us how they've done it since castors tool doesn't have a skill editor yet, or if u have a tool or a different method of making it work.

Use ZeroSignal's tool to convert the skill.sdata to csv format.
Then you can edit it. If you read through all the posts in that thread you will figure out how to make it work.
This is what was used before Castors tool.
It is harder to work with though I do say that.
Yet in my honest opinion I prefer to use that more than Castors tool.
As for an aoe I don't remember it's been awhile since I've messed with skills.

thx ill give it a shot and let ya know how it turns out , if i can successfully edit the skills ill perfect it and make a vid tut for it so that this problem stops recurring.

anyone know what column controls what percent "Eraser" hits?

Eraser is not a percentage damage skill, it multiplies your HP in the moment you hit the skill. Which i find kind of useless because max damage is 30k but thats how Eraser works not with a % based damage
