Client structure and references.

[legend9944]

Dear community,

I'm currently working on a private server, but can't understand how the client references works for items. On the server side I have items with their unique ids. In the client in the itemtype.dat these have to correspondent.

As that far I do understand. But how the itemIds refer to the texture/mesh, whatever is a mistery for me.

I hope anyone can clear this up for me. For example a Dark Wizard (itemId 181355). How are the looks defined for this?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,


Legend.

P.S. I'm not sure this is the correct section for this. Feel free to move this topic.

There's a toon of client files and I'm not by any means experienced with client editing but I know that

/ini/3dobj.ini links ID to .c3 files (meshes)
/ini/3dtexture.ini links ID to .dds files (textures)
/ani/MapItemIcon.ani links ID to .dds files (ground textures)
/ani/ItemMinIcon.ani links ID to .dds files (inventory textures)

I know there's more files but I cannot remember them right now. I know in INI there's also armor/armet for headgear and armor but I don't remember if there's a similar one for weapons :S

/ini/weapon.ini links to weapon textures in /c3/textures

Wow I'm apparently very slow today.

I took a 2 second glance and didn't see there was a weapons version of the same file.

But yah, hopefully this will get him on the right path.

Yep, otherwise he/she can use Google and use a tutorial on adding items to the client.

I personally learned from and other equipments are similar.

The guide for weapons was really helpfull, but when I open the armor.ini or armet.ini those Id's don't correspondent to the armor ids.

They even differ in length. Any help in these is still appreciated.

This may be off topic, but I want to applaud OP. He asked a question that is very valid, instead of asking to be spoonfed like the rest of this *** forsaken community.

Well, the IDs also contains the item color. See armor.ini

[1130000]
Part=1
Mesh0=1130000
Texture0=1130300
MixTex0=0
MixOpt0=0
Asb0=5
Adb0=6
Material0=default

[2130000]
Part=1
Mesh0=2130000
Texture0=2130300
MixTex0=0
MixOpt0=0
Asb0=5
Adb0=6
Material0=default

The first digit is the armor/headwear color.
