it doesnt really helps player, it owuld on some privatserver ( nos hack )
but beside that it mostly helps other developer for collecting
itemdata skilldata and so on. Its also usefull for privatserver.

#request move to Development section. :p

tried to use lph's edited version of this to decrypt NpcQuest.SData to allow gatekeeper for new maps wouldnt decrypt though just encrypt :(

1- the tool encrypt and decrypt sdata.

as indicatd in the README whose purpose is TO BE READ
<<Usage: ShaiyaSdataTool decrypt <file.sdata> ... [<file.sdata>]
Attempts to decrypt the files. New files are generated upon success.

Usage: ShaiyaSdataTool encrypt <file.sdata> ... [<file.sdata>]
Attempts to encrypt the files. New files are generated upon success.>>

2- meantime there is no "new maps" that requires a new gatekeeper; soccer should be set to AH gatekeeper, map 71 to 74 use portals.

thats the problem the gatekeeper in apulune does not allow access to the 71 to 74 maps it says a message something like not enough to use this portal and yes i have enough gold and such to do so through searching threads the only solution i found was to decrypt the S.Data in the files i dont beleive lph's release didnt have a readme was pretty self explainitory

not enough gold is the generic msg when something went wrong.

- the client NpcQuest.sdata (gate-keeper section) shall be consistent with the server PSM_CLient/bin/data/NpcQuest.sdata (same file but ciphered in client & in plain for server)
- the gate-keeper information must be valid.

that said, the expected way to access these maps is:
71: portal at Servus' Colony, map 68
72: portal at Queen Caput, map 69
73: portal in Dentatus section (top North) of map 70 (+927.8 +40.4 +1590.2)
74: portal in Ales section of map 70 (+721.8 +8.4 +309.8)
