We will work with items in itemetc.csv here, but it works with any items.
Ok, so let's go data/share/item/itemetc.csv
Now, let's examine the columns.
Name Rank Type Code Attribute Description Quality Job Appraisal Value Weight ReqLv Price Width Height StackNumber AutoStack StackDrop_Min StackDrop_Max Has_Durability Can_Repair Durability_Low Durability_Normal...
Ok, I think We know what we are looking for. So let's take a look at the very 1st item, a Health Potion, index 3801.
StackNumber = 5
AutoStack = 1
StackDrop_Min = 1
StackDrop_Max = 1
As we know, they can be stacked to an amount of 5, right? Ok, so we understand the 1st value now.
Note: StackNumber = 0 is no stack at all, like weapons. StackNumber = 1 is a max stack of 1, really useless, just a number saying "1" on the item, without an ablility to stack.
AutoStack... well, pretty much self-explanatory, right? No autostack = you have 3 potions in your inventory, you pick up 1, they have 3 potions in 1 pile, 1 potion in another pile.
To stack, you must take 1 pile and put in over another to make a 4 potions pile. That's no auto-stack.
And autostack is, you have 3 potions, you pick up a potion, you have a pile of 4 potions.
This is using a binary system, 0 = off, 1 = on.
StackDrop_Min is 1 as minimum, even for unstackable items, because 1 item drops as a minimum.
StackDrop_Max is also 1 as minimum, same reason. So if min = 1 and max = 1, there will always be dropped only non-stacked items.
Note:Min must always be smaller or exact to Max, because that's how my logic says. I never tested making Min higher then Max, but I think the server just wouldn't startup...
Ok, so now that we figured out what each column does, here is a conclusion:
StackNumber = Max stack ammount.
AutoStack = Will it stack automaticly? 1 = on 0 = off.
StackDrop_Min = 1 Minimum stack dropped.
StackDrop_Max = 1 Maximum stack dropped.
So, lets go Copper Argate, index 9901 and lets change it to
StackNumber = 789
AutoStack = 1
StackDrop_Min = 7
StackDrop_Max = 10
as an example.
So, you will be able to stack 789 copper argates, they will stack automatically, and if a copper argate drops, It may be a stack of 7, 8, 9 or 10.
Also, you can't make any of those parameters over 65535 (=2 bytes), or dekaron.exe won't understand it.
Also, you can modify the stacking ammount/parameters of already stacked items.
IMPORTANT!
If you already had a server running, a lo of people would have un-stackable argates, that means item with byHeader = 0... So if you make a copper argate stackable, you should execute this query:
use character;
UPDATE user_bag
SET
byHeader = 1
WHERE wIndex = *item index here* AND byHeader = 0;
So an example with a copper argate would be
Code:
use character; UPDATE user_bag SET byHeader = 1 WHERE wIndex = 9901 AND byHeader = 0;
I am not sure if you can make weapons/armors stackable, because usually the info column for lets say potions, holds the amount of potions in the stack and for equipment it holds whether it is magic/noble/divine or slotted, what's in the slots, the options, etc.
So doing this with equipment is not recommended, it may mes up your server, I haven't tried myself, so I can't say.
I hope I helped you with this tutorial!
