Times? Cast or cooldown? or how long it's effect lasts?
Cast - ReadyTime
Cooldown - ResetTime
Effect length - KeepTime

Adding a "1" without quotes to the SData and Database to the following fields:

Attackfighter - Fighter/Warrior
Defensefighter - Defender/Guardian
Patrolrogue - Ranger/Assassin
Shootrogue - Archer/Hunter
Attackmage - Mage/Pagan
Defensemage - Priest/Oracle

Setting it to "0" in the sdata will remove it from that class visually, and the Database will remove it server side (can't be used by that class, even if someone gave themselves all skills in their sdata). There's also Country for certain faction and the such.

Did you only change the Item.SData? If so that's your issue. If you changed the database too, then you need to restart your server.

Yeah i only change item.sdata what else needs to be changed.

U need to do the change on the ReqLevel of the dbo.Items on ur database so it will be changed to lvl 30 instead of the actual lvl of that item(s)

I am having the small issue when it comes to importing or patching the Skill.SData back in. For some reason after I have made all my changes, I can login to the game but the minute I head to the character screen, I get the "SGraphic" error and it freezes. Any idea on what I may be doing wrong? But if I place the "Original" Skill.SData back into the Data.sah by importing or patching, it works just fine. Note it is encrypted when I import it and everything is edited both server side and client side.

You're using an EP5 game.exe I'm guessing? If so, you need to open the Skill.SData in a hex editor (such as HxD) and change the first 4 numbers to "74 01"

Ok so I did that, now it gives me the "Character load error!" I am trying various things but I get either one of those two error messages.

[RebeccaBlack]

Did you change the first 4 bytes before or after encryption?

[-Sharky-]

I tried both, but when it made the .bak I wasn't sure wtf to do with it. When I edited it decrypted, nothing happened but the SGraphic error, and when I edited it while encrytped, it gave me the Character load error.

Thanks Tnelis for the response you posted regarding shStudio.

But I'm not agree with that direct change.
The four first bytes "74 01 00 00" (or in natural order 0174h = 372d) are the number of skills present in the file.
If you manually change it for a figure smaller than the actual skills count, the last won't be loaded; if you put a figure bigger than the actual count, the client crashs during characters loading.

The only way to change that number is to let shStudio or the LPH Python scripts defines its actual value.

Regarding the initial question related to skills levels, you can not (without changes in ps_game.exe) have more than 3 (4 for a few) levels per skills, but you can define the levels 1,2 and 3 to whatever you want; the management of the levels simply result of the order in which skill-levels records are loaded (they are loaded sorted by SkillID and SkillLevel), so to replace skills levels "1", "2", "3" by "1", "3", "5" simply set the SkillLevel field of the levels "2" and "4" to 0, they won't be used and the "3" and "5" will take their place.
(it's the purpose of the "skill level workaround" thread).
