I am editing a fresh install Hercules. I made a skill-related source edit and after I recompiled, the server no longer had any items. During recompiling, it didn't trigger any errors, and on the map server window there are so many "item no found" errors that I can't even scroll up and check what's wrong near the top.

Where should I start looking for problems?

 
are you running your item_db with sql or .txt? 

Make sure that if you are running renewal/pre-renewal that you uploaded the correct item_db from the sql files

Probably you did a mistake editing item_db, and all item entries beyond that is not been read

if using linux you can type

./map-server > map-server.log
or in windows

open cmd, go to hercules folder, and run 

map-server > map-server.log 
and it will save warnings/debug on map-server.log and errors will be displayed on console.

so you can get the top error message.

 
if this problem cause is after editing item_db,

then my recommendation is:

reset your hercules to latest working commit, then re-edit item_db with WordPad.

(don't use NotePad, NotePad only good for small file)
