Starting gear?location?

[madis212]

Hello!

I make it simple:
1. Whare i can set what gear(wepon etc) the new created account gets?
2. Is there a way i can change the location of new player spawn location?
for exmp: i create a new toon and login and i start at map 2 in my location, not in defult map location.

Thnx

Is it possible to change skill description that apears in the game?

1- in table [PS_GameDefs].[dbo].[BaseItemsDefs]
2- easy way: upon toon creation, update Map, PosX, PosY, PosZ of the [PS_GameData].[dbo].[Chars] table
if the question if for all respawn - and not for "new toon", edit the svmap respawn points and map.ini
3- of course, from Character/skills.sdata

Never cared to edit where a player spawns when they're newly made, but if I had to make a guess, I'd say it's in PSM_Client/Bin/Data/Map.ini in this section:

[BASE]
MapCount	  = ~YourMapCount~
HUGameStartMapPos = (1,577.98, 78.56, 1762.12)
ELGameStartMapPos = (1,1678.92, 38.92, 1776.91)
BAGameStartMapPos = (2,165.25, 118.50, 397.89)
DEGameStartMapPos = (2,1838.93, 129.33, 443.43)

HU=Human
EL=Elf
BA=Vail
DE=Deatheater


Like I said, I never cared to change it, but it's worth a shot.

How about starting kills?

How did you manage to get it so pretty and lined up? in HxD it looks much worse...

Are you sure that i dont have to do anything else? i used HxD to type every letter myself and to keep it right(like in game .exe to get it right with 00 and so). But when i get it all back together and log in it doesn't show any skills at all... all mysticly disappear'd, eaven the ones i dont edit....

Got any clue what i might do wrong?
ps: i use shaiya ep4!
Thnx

Why are you using HxD to edit descriptions and skills?You can just use ZeroSignal's shaiya data edit tool which can be found here

Skill's desc are stored in client Character/skills.sdata only; it's the right place to edit them. You must decrypt that file before editing, then re-encrypt and re-pack after changes (of course).

* Using HxD is may be the most painful way (but it's immediate).
* The ZeroSignal's shaiya data edit tool can be used by it doesn't manage carriage return in text fields (so generated .csv are not usuable as they are - other issues also may exist depending on local (country based) settings).
* The SS I posted is one of my tool, I will release it there in a few days (if I don't read too many posts with "I have it/that but I don't share").

ok, now i am having other problems...
it is easyer to me to type my steps..

1. I run Shaiya Data file Tool as admin.
2. then i open my shaiya ep4 data.sah file.
3. i choose charter and skill.sdata
4. now it gets weird: 1)if i choose extract, it opens up a window where i choose what place to save and after pressing save, it automatically saves without warning..Is it decrypted?
ok, lets assume it is not, and i choose the option decrypt file. Now it says after choosing the same file: Error. Might not be aligned correctly.... and now what?

PS! castor4878! Can you pm me your tool? i can be a Beta tester

Thnx

I don't know if that tool automatically decrypt sdata or not - I use since the ZeroSignal's one stops if it reachs a file with null length (and a lot of data.saf have such test or intentional files).

To ckeck if a sdata is ciphered or not, simply look its first bytes with an hex-editor; if it starts with "0001CBCEBC5B2784D3FC9A2A9DB84D1C3FEB6E99" it's ciphered, otherwise (and you also be able to read some text in that case) it's in plain.
Note that my tool does *not* decryt files.

Be also aware that episo 4 files were *may be* a bit different - I never tested them (only 4.5 & higher), if their formats have changed you will have no choice but to try to grab old tools dedicated to these files (and thus released ... a big while ago).
