[GUIDE] Adding New Items without itemInfo.lub

[Dastgir]

Hello Community,

Once Again, I was doing something and found something unusual, the kRO have other methods of loading Items too....

They also load some idnum tables but with different names

Unidentified items goes to

eventnum2itemdisplaynametable.txt ,
eventnum2itemdesctable.txt ,
eventnum2itemresnametable.txt

Identified items:

eventidnum2itemdisplaynametable.txt ,
eventidnum2itemdesctable.txt ,
eventidnum2itemresnametable.txt

(Just add event prefix to all file names

)

Points to Remember:

• This file is loaded before itemInfo, so if you have same item in itemInfo, resname and displayname will be overwritten with one on itemInfo, while both Description will appear one below one.
• It Works, and I have tested.
• These Files go inside GRF(data folder) as idnum tables used to..(before)
• Works on All clients with itemInfo.lub support

How it Looks When Overwritten:

Spoiler

Description: Till first Weight, is one on eventidnum, the below part is itemInfo one

ResName/DisplayName: the one on itemInfo is displayed(as mentioned above)

ah i saw those in client but i thought those parts of code weren't being executed ... guess not.

Holy shit those still work???? Im guessing the one for card slots also works if this is the case. Would be a great thing for those wanting to keep custom stuff in the text files while having official stuff in the iteminfo.lub.

 

[Neo-Mind]

well there are also these other files read by client.

itemSlotTable.txt

itemParamTable.txt

CardItemNameTable.txt

BookItemNameTable.txt

maybe the itemSlotTable.txt also works similar to itemSlotCountTable.txt?

this brings tears to my eyes and makes it easier to add in customs so in theory i can just have an emty file with my own custom ids in it? or does it need all of the old items as well?

I always wondered why the txt files were still there and not deleted in a patch on official servers. So what lub\lua files need editing? None of them?

official patcher can't delete files but overwrite ~

@@hemagx I never wrote the patcher >.> lol. But anyways interesting find Dastgir! Going to be more useful now to add items quickly (hope it never gets removed in future updates on the client executable)

While using this method, what should I write on the View section of item_db? Do I still need to use accname and accesoryid?

I have it like this

It does appear in-game, but just in the inventory tab, the sprite is missing

EDIT: Yeap, I still need to use accname and accesoryid
