[question] Encrypt Files for Costom Gears

Hi dude!
today i've import some file for have "custom armor"
done this i look the error "char load error"
i need to encrypt my 3dc/dds file right??
so, how can i encrypt?? when i open The LPH's tool i cant find any file 3dc or dds to encrypt ç_ç
so... what i need to encrypt and how?

No.. you do not need to encrypt or decrypt any of the 3DC / 3DO / DDS files.

You may have saved the .DDS into the wrong format or edited it incorrectly to give you the Char Load Error. Make sure all your files linked to that armor, or all armors are correct. MLT's for example.

i try and re-try
With the item.Sdata endcript, decrypt ecc, (maybe a need to encrypt some other file.. i don't know...)
the dds file are correct because in MLX file i can saw all the new armor...
i've take the "custom gear" from other topc, so idnk where i wrong... np
i think to keep the "original" armor... (GRRRR)
tomorrow i'll try with "weapon" ^^ (Stay Tuned) ahahah

Describe step by step what you did to create your custom gear.
Tell exactly what files you changed / edited. Then we'll probably be able to help you.

1. Extract DDS
2. Edit DDS in Photoshop /Gimp with DDS plugin
3. Save under DXT3 or DXT5
4. Import DDS into client

If you are replacing an original armor design with your own, those are the only steps (visually) that you need to make. If you want to edit the name or stats of the connected item itself, then you need to edit the Item.Sdata to show those data changes. (and update the database table to match)
Quick question: Is the armor design you are trying to edit/recreate one of the newer 'EP6' armors? meaning, does it show by default in ShStudio 0.7.1 ? I have a feeling you may be trying to insert one of those into your client when it's an older version, in which case, you need to convert it to an older ep4 or 5 version to work without a crash.

so, i download the DDS and 3dc file froe an other trhd
1. download file
2. extract data Sah in a folder
3 import the new file 3dc and dds
4 create the MLX file (and the all new gear run correctly in MLX 3d visual)
5 check ITEM.Sdata and fix all "new armor"
6. build a new sah and saf by folder with LPHtool
7. run the item.SQL
8. run the game...
9. log in , select server, "char load error" ^^
i have the ep 4.5 and use ShStudio 0.7.1
the "custom gear" are a SwimmingSet with bikini ecc, no EP6 gear or something ^^

Where you say point 4 - Create the MLX
For armors you MUST edit the MLT, as stated by Castor numerous times. MLX is just a visual collection for use in ShStudio. Your client WILL NOT use MLX for your armors.

Make sure you have actually added the armor definition to the MLT's, then import those to your client.

my MLT files are aaaaaall correct, i'm check it now, tomorrow i'll try to rebuild a new sah from folder without import the MLX file ^^
ty a lot for the help @Truth!!

Wont matter if the MLX is there or not. It can be in the client, it just wont be looked at or used by the client.
It sounds like you may be rebuilding the sah/saf incorrectly.
Try change 1 armor piece on it's own then re-import the dds/mlt/item.sdata changes for an already working sah/saf. See if that gives you the same line of errors.
