[HELP]Item.SData & NPCQuest.SData

[Sinful858]

Ok there is 2 parts to where I need help so let me try and explain this as clearly as I can so that someone can understand and hopefully come up with a solution.

I have been trying to create an NPC of my own, and I have followed tutorials to the exact steps, and every time I make it and throw in my patch the NPC is always a cow *Note* that was editing it via in CSV format using a Open Office Table. Now I have even tried to modify an existing NPC through Hex (including the name, items, etc) And when I patch it, I can purchase the item inside, but it does not display the actual icon OR when I try to take out an item setting the Hexadecimal to 00, the icon still remains, even when the item does not exist. Same with editing the names of the NPC's, nothing visually changes at all and it has become quite frustrating. Any ideas on getting this to work correctly? I also had just attempted to fix the Item mall again and when patching, once I get to the loading screen the game instantly closes with no error at all. This did not happen the 1st time I patched the item mall so I am stumped on how this has came to be.


Now for the Item.SData I have also edited my items both Client Side and Server Side, yet see no real change, at all. Now I am unsure as to if I am patching it correctly because I am unable to run the server from my VPS. How I patch my Item.SData is I make sure the file is "encrypted" and imported back into the data.saf then after I take the encrypted file along with the Item.Complete and place it into my Data folder (SHAIYA_MAKE) and run the batch. I follow the rest of the steps as to making the patch but the result is nothing. Maybe I am not doing something wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ok i am gonna answer for the Item.SData part.Once you encrypt it you shouldn't import it back into data.saf.Place encrypted Item.SData to your Data folder -->Item sub-folder.Its the way i do patches and they work fine.I hope that helped you.

Hmm that didn't work, I have literally tried almost everything, double checked my work tried various ways patching it and nothing changes at all. If someone could be so kind to spare a few minutes to see how I am doing it and help me trouble shoot I would be very grateful. Idk why it works for others when they follow the same steps and it does not work for me.
