what is that supposed to mean????

this means what it says it means duplicate entry for id ##### that means its already taken... and you either need to change the id or delete the old one or use the old one and change the stats to the item you want to use
as a note mysql errors are very descriptive of what the problem is if you ever get an error it will say what the problem is and often times how to fix it if you look at it right

why are you trying to add it though you dont need to as i mentioned before.. your client and database most likely already have several different versions of chomskey atoms and if you want one that is +8 and there isnt one already just go into your cq_itemtype sort acending or descending by name
now go in and search for the itemtype for a version of chomskey that you know the id for
then look every item in there with the same name (they always translate strange or are in chinese) are chomskey atoms you can award yourself them to verify this anyways all you need to do is find one thats not in use and make the addlevel to 8 and viola you got a +8 chomskey, but i reccomend you look purhaps u have them in there already

[mysteryho]

by now... searching and testing...
so far i found pistols weps in the DB i use...

still searching and testing...
searching for [chomskeyAtoms+8]

searching and testing<results>[failed]
there's no +8 chomsky in my DB..
by the way am using Apocalypse server files..
can not find there any +8 atoms..
i only found a pack of +3 atoms...
what shod i do...????

youre looking for the name chomskey which will not come up with anything search for an id
look in the gm commands maybe and find a chomsky or any chomsky you have for instance your +3 chomskey pack award yourself it as a [PM] character watch the actions as you use it and take note of the item id in the action parameters as you award it search this in your database
you will find a item(probably in chinese) if you sort ascending by name you will notice there are many items with exactly the same name(probably in chinese) all of the items with the same name are most likely chomskey atoms...
ok now lets go back to your +3 chomskey atom once you find it in the database you will notice "the name" doesnt say chomskey or anything else +3 but if you look along that entry for that item keep going till you get to the collum that says add level you will see that there is most likely a 3 there
ok now that you have found the addlevel colum and the name of the chomskey atoms comes the fun part
find one of these items and search for the id to make sure that iit snt in use (meaning you need to look in your actions and shops) if it isnt in any of these places then you can most likely use it
ok now you remember where you saw the 3 before in the addlevel colum this is where the 8 goes in the item id u are editing to make it +8
juat out of curiosity though u said u used an id that was already taken for +8 chomskey have you tried awarding yourself that item? purhaps what youre trying to add is already in the game

[mysteryho]

so far..i still didn't get it... but am still on the process how do i get it work...

 Spoiler

0	1	0	502	72030102	
1	2	0	501	51000010	1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 8
2	3	0	1010	2005	You~recieve~a~+8~chomsky~atom.
3	0	0	1022	0	gmlog/action2_log 320,%user_name,0,0,0,0,103,51000000,8

assuming 51000010 is the id for a normal chomskey atom and 72030102 is the box that holds them you can use this or find the action lines like this that are in your cq_action if you look you will find that it is probably already attached to the id 72030102 in your itemtype if you look under id action and follow that in your action it should look like this
the gmlog/action records them using it for you in the logs (pay attention to the ids used to make gm logs they will come in handy)
ok disecting this action

0	1	0	502	72030102

this part being the first line requires and takes a item by that data colum id
72030102

1	2	0	501	51000010	1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 8

this is the opposite and will award the item 51000010 with the addlevel collum being 8 thus making the normal chomskey a +8 chomskey

2	3	0	1010	2005	You~recieve~a~+8~chomsky~atom.

this tells the player what they got in a system message

3	0	0	1022	0	gmlog/action2_log 320,%user_name,0,0,0,0,103,51000000,8

this records in your gmaction log the username and itemtype of the item that is awarded as well as the addlevel amount so that you can have a record of it in your gameserver folder

as i said you can also go into cq_itemex and search the id for the chomkeys on your userid and change any chomskey to a +8 chomskey by changing the addlevel colum to 8

there is not any plainer way that i can explain that one

[mysteryho]

i think I mentioned back at the very begining of this post that you should look to conquer or eo discussions for your questions .... all of your answers are there I swear

[Alex06052]

Oh so now your done? I thought you were going to just help him. Since this is supposed to be a supporting community.

[idlemonkey]

i did help them .... lol better than by telling them just the answer to that one question lol
by searching those other forums as well as this one they will learn a lot more
for instance go in and search for "change npc name eudemons" viola first answer you get is on exactly that and responses to that post with different views and second answer you get is the "" which has it in it as well as more information about other parts of npcs and "all things eudemons" (which is very similar in setup to zero) which will help you a lot in trying to figure out how this works as well as answer your questions better than any "one" person could
as well I can suggest this with a clear conscience knowing that someone cant accuse me of lying or giving false information or any of the other things some people try to do to make this harder for everyone
I dont see any need to reply to things that are as easily found as this one if you can find it by search dont waste your time asking its faster just to look

[Alex06052]

I'm not trying to fight but. You finally see what I am talking about.

Yes you can give them help but when he kept asking you the same question. You kept answering which is what I find pointless he wants you to do it for him.

[idlemonkey]

people take the easiest solution thats human nature ... not saying at all that i wont give anyone help lol .... just trying to make it "easier" to look first then ask... Im sure they didnt realise it was quite that easy to find out considering its a different game.
soon they wont have to ask any more questions and will be able to find their answers themselves , at least to the easy ones such as this

and we/i will keep on asking until time comes that we/i will stop asking when i learn all the knowledge i want to learn...

i'd like to ask a BIG SORRY for being a NOOB..

i am having a OS compatibility issues...
am using win7 ultimate...
the game run but it's kinda laggy...
i tried it in compatibility but it's stays the same...
any suggestion??

[idlemonkey]

run your game on a server instead of a home operating system not only will it work better and be more stable but you will not use un needed resources

[mysteryho]

i wont run it on a server...
my knowledge is not yet so stable...
am still learning,testing and experimenting...
that is why am full of asking info's. of how to do's...
