[Tut] how to replace items

Im going to show you how to replace items npc have with what you want them to sell.

Im going to use Losen Piettrei a weapon mechant in glitter to make a example

1. You must extract the data.saf file ( if you need to do this please take a look at the post to do it.)

2. You will need a Hex editor.

Ok lets start Go to ur NPCQuest.SData located in ur client in the folder NPC. Open it with a hex editor.

1. Find the Id of Losen Piettrie which is ( in game /nmake 1 35)
Ok so you take the id 1 35 you convert it to hexdecimal numbers

1 will be 01 in hex and 35 will be 23 in hex decimal so we got 01 23 for hex decimal.

Ok here is a example

Ok now lets say we want to replace the first item in this npc which is a Blade Ace.
So find the ID of Blade Ace
Blade Ace- ID= 9 21 Convert it to Hexdecimal= 09 15
Now that you have the Hexdecimal and you have have found Losen Piettrei Find the Hexdecimal 09 15
Here is a exsample

Ok now determine what item you want to put in it place

ill replace it with Heroic Nirvana

So i look for heroic Nirvana and get ID for it

Heroic Nirvana= Id= 9 62 Hexdecimal for it = 09 3E So go back to hex editor and where you found 09 15 change it to 09 3E and save.

You just have change that weapon the NPC is selling to something else.

Please remember you also have NpcQuest.Sdata in ur server files to you have to replace.

PLEASE NOTE **** Make back ups of all ur files just in case.

you can use "HexEdit MX" , too!
same interface like winhex but 4free!
might be helpful for some people

Thanks for this. I needed a list containing all the NPC Ids and this contains them, I needed them cause I'm in the process of making a trainer that allow you to access any NPC for anywhere. I already have the warehouse working, just now working on buying things from stores, then i'm going to work on Quests and finally gate keepers. I'll post a thread once I get it done.

well I just tried what you said. I used the Chinese data extractor and extracted data.saf to a folder. I opened up my hex editor and went to the NPCquest.sdata and opened it. I searched for some text but there isn't anything readable in it. everything is gibberish. did I extract it wrong or what. if you know what might be wrong i would appreciate the help.

need the data extracter plz

Yeah so did I. I also used Zerosignals and they both output the same file.

Drew666 - do you think you can upload the newest NPCQuest.SData here. I want to compare it with mine.

So, for example I could make some piece of crap the shop is selling into an ele lapis?

yes

So, it seems that this just makes iteams appear to be something they are not, like changing your dammage value or hp values.

if you edit the the client you also have to edit the same one in the server. If you only edit the client you will be able to see them but when you buy the item it will come out what was suppose to be there. like if you put a goddess gear in place of a normal gear. and you never change the file in server you will see the goddess gear but when you buy the gear it will come out to be the normal gear

So you must do both client and server.

kk thats what i thought
