item db won't load

[Blinzer]

so i have hercules and it's renewal

but everyone knows renewal is shit so i turned renewal off by putting // in front of the stuff as indicated on forums

recompile

all the sudden no items exist and i'm getting like 10000 errors about items when i launch my server as if the item db doesn't exist

so i tried to look for a solution on my own and saw the script checker in the folder

so i ran the pre-re item db in the script checker and it said UNKNOWN SYNTAX LINE 1 (

nice

so i run the item db that works(in the re folder) in the script checker too

UNKNOWN SYNTAX LINE 1 (

tried deleting line 1

UNKNOWN SYNTAX LINE 42 { or some shit

either i have down syndrome or this program does

and it can only be one of us

script checker is for npc scripts, not for item_db, to solve your problem just move re/item_db.conf to pre-re/item_db.conf

maybe you commented only 1 line and not the whole item entry, that's whyparsing errors

this works

upon closer inspection it seems that me modifying the file in notepad corrupted the format somehow

i tried doing a single modification and the file no longer worked, and when i tried using wordpad the error no longer occurred

guess i have to do my 300 changes all over again LOL

since i'm an ignorant baboon i might as well ask this too

is it as simple as this to cheat the monsters in renewal into a prerenewal server as well? if so, what files would be required to be moved? if not, wat do?
