[HELP]Adding Items.

Okay, so I want the 5375 weapons on my 5165 server (including the correct levels and stuff), so instead of taking the 5165 DBC files and editing them, I converted to 5375 DBC files to work on 5165. So the Weapons work, they damage calcs and stuff all work well. BUT, There is no ItemMinIcon, and the weapons don't show up when equipped, in the map, or the inventory. I'm curious if maybe I didn't convert the DBC's correctly? or if I missed something. Let me know if you can help me, or if this has already been released.

Thanks for the help in advance =]

Just the DBC files are not enough, you forgot to copy over the CoDirectory/c3/texture/, CoDirectory/c3/mesh/ and CoDirectory/c3/effect/ folder. You need those to make the weapons visible.
You also need the CoDirectory/data/ItemMinIcon/ and CoDirectory/data/MapItemIcon/ folders to show the mini icons.

I copied the entire c3 folder out of my 5375 client, as well as the ani's for the Icon, and Map Icon.

I see, then mind telling which DBC files you exactly transferred?

I did a search for a weapon code (480339 which is the 130 club) and any ini's that had that code in it I transferred.

You're going to have to write at LEAST a few conversion tools to make it actually work.

For example... new fields are added to itemtype for newer patches. You'd have to write a conversion tool to pull all the data out and format it in a way that a 5165 client can understand as well as transfering over all of the mesh/texture information AND the dbc files... not sure but the dbc contents may need to be batch edited also to make it work with earlier clients.
