[Help]A Few Questions.

[killersub]

Hello there everybody, as you can see I'm quite new here. I come straight from the Conquer Online section to hopefully compile a eudemons server that I can further test and upgrade/fix. I have played original TQ eudemons a while back but got bored of it and quickly joined the Conquer Online community to my delight. Without further ado, I would like to just ask a few questions about how things work within a eudemons private server. Note: I have a eudemons server already set up and running.

1st Question: How do I change the NPC/in-game text? I have noticed that these source codes have terrible, and I emphasize "terrible", NPC text. Not just NPC text but overall/general game text and even some chinese text.

2nd Question: How would I be able to change the EPs drop rate and such? What I mean is how could I get rid of the monsters dropping random amounts of EP bags and change it so they randomly drop a specified amount of PP/EP straight to the player's inventory?

3rd Question: How would I be able to change the composition rates for pets/change how they evolve and get an automatic king rank?

Those are just a few questions I have in mind at the moment. I do not expect you guys to spoonfeed me code and such but to at least point me in the right direction. thanks in advance, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, killersub

Unlike CO, we don't use sources. A couple of people are currently working on sources, but we use mainly binaries. As such, all of what you ask is found in the database.


NPC chat is in cq_action.

thanks for your reply. I realize most, if not, all databases for eudemons are binaries just like some conquer binaries as well. I am quite new to binaries which is why I felt like I needed to address my issues in one topic instead of spamming the whole forum. With that being said, are you aware in any way if there is an easier method (i.e. an NPC text organizer, etc.) of changing text rather than manually going one-by-one in the database? thanks again.

Not that I'm aware of. The closest thing to what your looking for would be something like the following.




But even with that, I don't think it actually edits anything.

There is a program that was half written posted here awhile back.

cq_actionwalker was the name of it if i remember correctly.

the conquer section practically banishes binaries, so im not surprised your not used to them.


Honestly without looking into who you are, ild question if your not better off using your skills you learnt in the conquer section to write something from scratch.

thanks for getting back to me. I will attempt that to any further avail, if not, then I will just continue to work on the database manually.

I completely understand where you're coming from; however, it is not the skills I might have in that section but the actual limitations of my skills for a conquer server. I cannot be making a conquer server from scratch at the moment since I simply do not have the proper time nor required amount of "skill" to actually further complete a C# server. The reason being is that I have been going off and on about mmorpgs and so I decided to stay there for the time being, knowing that section is slowly deteriorating with it's vast amount of completely bugged sources, I decided to give eudemons another try in hopes to pursue an open BETA server of my own and continue to correct any bugs that might pose. I need to first comprehend all the different fields and methods I must edit to further correct them.
