EDIT:
I managed to get the sdata working but the skill workaround still doesn't do anything
Here's basically what I did:
- I extracted the skill.sdata file with little pro hackers tool
- I converted the sdata file in a csv using the python scripts
- I modded the csv file using notepad/open office calc (tried both, both failed)
- I used the python tool to recreate the sdata file and upgrade my database
- I used little pro hackers tool again to encrypt and then import the new sdata file
The server starts, client works. I even extracted the sdata again to make sure skills.sdata is updated and it is, leadership is lvl 1 => 3 => 6 and so on ...
BUT If I connect to my server and try to skill it just goes from 1 => 2 => 3 whilst i'm 100% sure my dbo.skills and skills.data are modded for the workaround
