[Guide] Adding Custom Homunculus

[ossi0110 200]

 

Hello Hercules,

 

Here is a Guide on how to ADD a Custom Homunculus into your Server and Client .

Special Thanks to "Neo" for helping me and providing me the xDiff file for it

 

The Hardcoded Client Limit of Homunculus are 6052,  The xDiff file raises this 

limit till 7000. So we can use many Custom Homunculus now

 

For this Guide I'm using the IDs 6080 and 6081, you can use any ID between 6053 - 7000.

 

 

 

Server Side Configuration.

 

 

First we need to ADD our Custom Homunculus in the db/homunculus_db.txt

Simply follow the existing format. 

 

In my example here I am using ID 6080 for my Custom Homunculus ID and 6081 will be the Evolved Custom Homunculus ID

 

 

6080,6081,Hercules,537,60000,0,1,7,0,700,150,40,17,20,15,35,24,12,60,100,4,9,5,19,5,19,5,19,4,20,6,20,6,20,1,10,10,20,1,5,1,4,1,5,4,10,1,10,1,3 

 

 

Now let add some skills for them. Open db/homun_skill_tree_db.txt

Here we need to set all Skill for our New Homunculus , in my Example I Used the Skill from the Vanilmirth Homunculus.

 

 

//Hercules Custom Homunculus6080,8013,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 //HVAN_CAPRICE6080,8014,5,8013,3,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 //HVAN_CHAOTIC6080,8015,5,8013,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 //HVAN_INSTRUCT 

 

 

Server Source code Modifications

 

 

Now lets move on to the SRC folder.

Open mmo.h (SRC/COMMON/mmo.h)

 

search for this  line

 

#define MAX_HOMUNCULUS_CLASS	52 

 

 

Currently this limits usable IDs to 6001-6052

 

Change to 

 

 

#define MAX_HOMUNCULUS_CLASS	1001 

 

 

now we can use IDs from 6053-7000 as well for Homunculus.

 

Remember the xDiff only raises till 7000 now so if you add it beyond that range you are out of luck for now.

 

Next we open the homunculus.c (SRC/MAP/homunculus.c)

 

here we search for

 

// Normal Homunculus

 

you will see a few case statements following this line. We need to add our Regular Homunculus here

In my example I am adding case 6080: (it should look like this)

 

 

	// Normal Homunculus		case 6001: case 6005:		case 6002: case 6006:		case 6003: case 6007:		case 6004: case 6008:		case 6080: 

 

Same way below it you will see the cases for Evolved Homunculus so we add ours there.

In my example I am adding case 6081: (it should look like this - you can skip this step if you dont have an evolved one)

 

 

	// Evolved Homunculus		case 6009: case 6013:		case 6010: case 6014:		case 6011: case 6015:		case 6012: case 6016:		case 6081: 

 

Now save the file. Source code modifications are done so recompile the server.

 

 

 

 

Client Side Changes.

 

First what you need is a client that supports the addition of custom Homunculus. 

Make your patched client (better to have official patches already patched up first).

Download the xDiff file for your client date from http://sourceforge.net/p/neocustoms/code/HEAD/tree/xDiffs/

Patch your client with the downloaded xDiff File using xDiffPatcher (Select Enable Custom Homunculus) 

 

You are Ready to Rumble.

 

Now that you have the client, let's make it use our homun sprites.

First we add the Homunculus ID to npcidentity.lub at the end. (dataluafiles514lua filesdatainfonpcidentity.lub)

Mine are as follows.

 

 

JT_MER_Water_Ghost = 6080,JT_MER_Water_Ghost2 = 6081 

 

 

You will also notice the following line in the same file

 

JT_MER_LAST = 6053  

 

 

 

Now that we have more 6052 it would be wise to set it to the max value + 1 = 7001 to avoid confusion i.e.

 

JT_MER_LAST = 7001, 

 

 

Save & Close npcidentity.lub

 

Now we add the sprite information in jobname.lub at the end (dataluafiles514lua filesdatainfojobname.lub)

the same way you would add for a mob or npc.

 

 

[jobtbl.JT_MER_Water_Ghost] = "Water_Ghost",[jobtbl.JT_MER_Water_Ghost2] = "Water_Ghost2" 

 

 

Now that the Lua files are done we can add the sprite files into the appropriate folder which is => data/sprite/homun

In my example I will add the following files to that folder : Water_Ghost.spr, Water_Ghost.act, Water_Ghost2.spr and Water_Ghost2.act

 

All the files are set . Now you can start your client and test out your homunculus.

Fastest way to check => use @makehomun 6080

 

Enjoy your Custom Homunculus!!

Thanks, now I guess a deal is a deal, I will start converting my Pokemon Sprites into custom Homuncs and releasing them in sets

[sbk_ 30]

to add abilities have to be added to a patch file? I'm trying to add more not appear on the skill tree
