item_db.conf to item_db.txt

Hmmmm total newbie. After i converted the item_db.conf into item_db.txt

How can i put that into hercules? Should i just copy and paste? Or should try to rename it to .conf. Coz either way it is giving me a way LOT or warnings and errors.

=== EDIT

It seems the server is bound to read .conf for item databases. How to change that?

Server software has stopped reading that messy txt file for the new, more readable conf file. You should use the new format on your server if it runs an Hercules version newer than when the update was introduced. However, you can use this Dastgir tool to convert back to .txt and Haruna's converter to conf whenever you find it convenient.

Yeah thats the problem. I want to use the latest pull from hercules git but want to use the old item database. So i guess that there is no other way around to revert back to the old item db. Thanks anyways!

 
You should actually give a chance to it, since it's more like a win-win situation. Only drawback is that it's possible (not sure) that item parsing will be few milliseconds slower, but gives lots of advantages worth to give a test in.

You should actually give a try to use item_db.conf, since its easy to use + easy to understand..

 
Can someone help me? When I open the conf2db.bat the CMD window opens but immediately closes. AM I missing something here? I already copied item_db.conf in the folder containing the rest of the conf2db files.

Another request, can some pls provide a.zip or .rar of the program? I'm using SVN and not GIT so I can't get the program directly from the repository.

Thanks in advance!

ZIP File: https://github.com/dastgir/Scripts/archive/master.zip

hmm.. did conf2db.bat asked something to put?(filenames?)

 
Thank you very much for the ZIP file Sir Dastgir. I was finally able to convert item_db.conf to item_db.txt because of you.

Regarding your question, no. Before you gave me the ZIP the .bat file automatically closes leaving me no window to type anything into. Maybe it has something to do with some missing files since before I only downloaded the conf2db folder and not the master folder.

Thanks again!

I downloaded and clicking Scripts-master\Lua\multi-tools\conf2db.bat and it said:

'lua53.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
 
Which lua53.exe should I use? I tried to download lua5.3.2 from web and now it said:
Enter .Conf FileName: item_db.conf
Enter Output FileName: item_db.txt
Enter Format("RE",Or see README.md): RE
lua53.exe: multi-tools.lub: size_t size mismatch in precompiled chunk


 
I forgot to mention here,

I have merged it with other programs, and the itemdb conf to txt is now (almost) scriptable by tables.lua file

@AnyThing

I changed from lua 5.3 to 5.2 (reverted one version) due to some compatibility issue
