The map server just can't read the whole item_db so the mob drop items keep alerting the error of missing item. The errors flows extremely quick and I can't even can't the first line of the error. In addition, I am from Hong Kong so the item names are all in traditional Chinese. I've changed the item_db.conf to utf8 but it still can't solve the problem.
Item DB file structure overhaul

Thanks! I would show it tonight. It's 17:04 in Hong Kong right now.
By the way, I think Hercules is a wonderful emulator that has optimized resources usage with other useful features.
Sorry for my poor English.
This is my item_db in general format:

This is my item_db in hercules format:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6vPpRo3AQpIS3lSMGhHQ194ejQ/edit?usp=sharing
Could you kindly help me? Thanks a lot!

You shouldn't use utf8 for your files (Hercules and *Athena don't really support it, nor does the client). You should save it with the same file encoding as your original file (which seems to be Big5, but it also seems to be broken, my text editor warns me about issues on line 3389 (item #5571) and line 4481 (item #7156) of your .txt file)
You might want to fix those names in your .txt file first, then try to re-convert it, and save the .conf file as Big5 as well.
Please note that your item scripts contain errors though (wrong case, wrong arguments, non existent functions, etc), so you'll also need to edit it in order to work with Hercules.

Thanks for your explanation. I just used the default coding(ANSI) before and it didn't work. I don't know how to convert the item_db.conf to BIG5 since there are just 4 options (ANSI/UTF-8/Unicode/Unicode-Big endian) when I use notepad to open it. If the coding really matter, does users from any non-English counties need to convert their item_db.conf to suit their languages? Besides, I've checked item#5571 and item#7156 and it seems that there is no problem with these two items. Below are the converted item scripts :
{
Id: 5571
AegisName: "Rasta_Wig"
Name: "拉司塔的假髮"
Type: 4
Buy: 20
Weight: 100
Def: 1
Upper: 63
Loc: 256
View: 552
Script: <" bonus bStr,1; ">
},
{
Id: 7156
AegisName: "Broken_Shuriken"
Name: "破舊之手裏劍"
Type: 3
Buy: 470
Weight: 10
},

I don't have a chance to check Notepad (I'm not on windows, so I don't have that), but I guess with "ANSI" they mean "the appropriate local charset for whatever language this computer is set to", which would produce Big5 or some variant of it in your case, so that's what you should use. Again, this is just a guess.
The broken lines from the .txt file you posted (if I load it as Big5) are:
5574,Pencil_In_Mouth,叼在嘴?媢]筆,4,20,,100,,0,,0,0xFFFFFFFF,63,2,1,,10,0,555,{ bonus bDex,2; bonus bHitRate,3; },{},{}7156,Broken_Shuriken,破舊之手?媦C,3,470,,10,,,,,,,,,,,,,{},{},{}(I wrote #5571, but I meant #5574, sorry).
The questionmark is there to say that it wasn't able to load some character, I'm not sure why it happens.

I finally find the reason of the errors. I use script-checker.bat to check the item_db.conf. I find that hercules's system can't read a bunch of Chinese words. Maybe it's because of the coding. In addition, the item_bonus have a big different to Rathena in lower cases and upper cases. Other than that, Rathena item_db allows duplicated AegisName but Hercules doesn't. Item #5574 and #7156 doesn't get any problems in my case.
Therefore, if a Rathena user wanna convert there item_db to Hercules format, they need to edit all of the item_bonus first. Otherwise, it will show a lot of errors though they don't face any coding problems.

rAthena is not using case-sensitive, while we are using CaseSensitve Words.
Also AegisName should differ from other. because , hercules sets item AegisName as ID, so you can call it via script also, like
if (countitem(Red_Potion) > 1){ //do anything}
same applies to mob_db, they are also CaseSensitive and should not be duplicated.
(I agree to the point that, we lack many item_bonus, that rA have like the Class_* one, which is also in Aegis)

@mysterious, I think he meant, can server read txt files.
@Azul, Emulator don't read txt.. but you can convert conf to txt via (http://herc.ws/board/topic/5363-item-dbconf-to-item-dbtxt/) and then convert it back to conf when you are done with editing via (https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules/blob/master/tools/itemdbconverter.pl) or (http://haru.ws/hercules/itemdbconverter)

Is there any tool can translate the Name field of item_db.conf by reference to idnum2itemdisplaynametable.txt (my country ro still read txt file )? Becoz my player's native language isn't English, I need to translate them to my native language .I have a tool can translate old format item_db.txt ,I can convert it to old format and did translation and convert back item_db.conf like Dastgir says, but after this update 8dc6717 , itemdbconverter.pl or online converter seems no longer compatible with new format of item_db.conf , so if there is a tool can translate the Name field of item_db.conf directly, non English country users would be appreciated

It can be made. (I think you should post on database request, less people see this topic)
but after this update 8dc6717 , itemdbconverter.pl or online converter seems no longer compatible with new format of item_db.conf , so if there is a tool can translate the Name field of item_db.conf directly, non English country users would be appreciated
Cannot understand what you mean.

I mean In future, non-English country user did new item_db.conf translatoin
by following these steps:
convert to old item_db.txt --> did translation --> convert back item_db.conf
It will lose some new fields(BuyingStore、Delay、Nouse 、Stack... so on) ,
So that's why I ask a tool can translate item_db.conf directly.

https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules/tree/master/tools -> item_merge.lua adds those buyingstore and all fields.
I will try to make the tool you requested.
