change boss text

[MrktsGame]

I would like to change the text left by the chefess when they are attacked


any way for me to do this?

It's on the client side.
or server?

Customer use epi 6

it is handled from the server side, if you have knowledge in simple programming you can easily to this.

Go here:
..ShaiyaServer\SERVER\PSM_Client\Bin\Data\Lua

Create or edit a new *.lua file

Attach the lua # to your monster.

PS:
If i am understanding you question correctly, you may want to play around in this area

-- //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function OnAttacked( dwTime, dwCharID )

end

As i remember some of strings also contained in PSM_Client/Bin/Data/cn_string.DB file (it is used for some mobs/bosses which are not use the LUA)

The actual filename may be different since the first 2 characters designate the country of players.
More precisely: the file contains plain text encoded with a given codepage and the default system codepage of the players shall be the same or the game client will display garbage.

The cn_string.DB uses CP 936; other packages posted on ePvP include tw_string.DB, kr_string.DB, a de_string.DB containing English, and so on. NotePad++ is usually able to find out the right codepage when you open a ??_string.DB with it.

The beginning of (one) cn_string.DB is:
1 把异端者彻底赶出去!!（至尊红颜）
2 Li laka Amon-Ra!!（至尊红颜）
3 我让你骨肉分离!!（至尊红颜）

which translates to:
1 Drive the heretics out!! (Supreme Red)
2 Li laka Amon-Ra!! (Supreme Red)
3 I let you separate your flesh!! (Supreme Red)

Better English translations attached.


The structure of the ??_string.DB files is:

repeat until EOF
index (1 or 2 digits, ASCII (or any) encoded)
CRLF
sentence (encoded with a given codepage)
CRLF
end

The name of the used file is stored in plain by the end of ps_game.exe.

Alternatively, the Lua engine (not for clients ep.3) offers 2 methods to have a mob speaking.
The first uses immediate msg and thus rely on msgs defined server-side.
The second uses msg read from the sysmsg-uni.txt which is client-side.

LuaSay(message, distance)
Say a message, defined as an immediate string
message a string
distance only players within this distance from the mob will heard the message

LuaSayByIndex(index, distance)
Say a message, defined by its index within sysmsg-uni.txt
index the index of the string to say
distance only players within this distance from the mob will heard the message
