Adding A New PetI didn't like the idea of replacing an existing pet, so I sought to add in pets. The process is a little similar to replacing a pet. Instead, you create a new line in pet_db.txt with your new pet information. As an example, we will add a Succubus to the pet_db.1370,SUCCUBUS,Succubus,739,9031,0,537,80,20,20,100,250,20,150,200,1,0,800,400,200,{ petskillbonus bLuk,20,10,90; }I made the Succubus's taming item a Rouge(739), her food Pet Food(537), her capture rate 1.5%, and her pet skill +20 Luck for 10 seconds every 90 seconds.Add the above line to the end of pet_db, and you are done. Now we have all the original pets AND a Succubus.The next step is to create a taming item and an egg for this Succubus. To create the taming item, go to item_db, and pick an item you want to use for the taming item. I suggest using an ETC item, as they really do not serve much purpose. Edit the values accordingly to follow the pet taming item format. An example of Rouge for the Succubus taming item:739,Rouge,Rouge,11,,5000,10,,,,,0xFFFFFFFF,7,2,,,,,,{ pet 1370; },{},{}Do not forget the bold part. This signifies which pet this taming item will capture. Also, count properly the number of commas you need. Map Server will give errors if the syntax is incorrect.Next, we need a pet egg. This, you will have to actually create. Choose an available Item ID. I suggest starting from 9028, if not already used, and work your way up, for pet eggs. Add a line to item_db.txt with the values for a pet egg. For example, a Succubus egg:9031,Succubus_Egg,Succubus Egg,7,,10,0,,,,,,,,,,,,,{},{},{}The egg ID is 9031, as you can also see from the entry in pet_db.After doing this, you now have added a Succubus into the database, with her own taming item and egg. Everything is now ready on the server side.[edit]Egg Sprites and Item DescriptionsIn order for your client to not crash, you must have information and a sprite for the pet egg. Go to your idnum2itemdesctable.txt, idnum2itemdisplaynametable.txt, num2itemdesctable.txt, and num2itemdisplaynametable.txt, and create a new entry for the egg. I will not go into detail on how to do this; there are other guides for this. You may also choose to edit the item description of the taming item, though this is not necessary.Next, you have to give the egg a sprite, or else your client will crash. To do this, edit idnum2itemresnametable.txt and num2itemresnametable.txt and add in an entry for the egg. Refer to this topic for what to use for egg sprites. If you have no clue how to work with resnametables, then search the forums.I will give examples of the values I put in my tables.idnum2itemdesctable and num2itemdesctable:9031#An egg in which a Succubus Cute Pet rests. Can be hatched by using a ^33CC33Pet Incubator^000000.Class :^777777 Monster Egg^000000#idnum2itemdisplaynametable and num2itemdisplaynametable:9031#Succubus_Egg#idnum2itemresnametable and num2itemresnametable:9031#Áö¼Ó¼º¾Ë#[edit]PettalktableBy default, your pet will talk like a Poring. If you wish to change this, edit the talk_convert_class value in pet_db to the ID of one of the original pets. For example, to make our Succubus talk like a Zealotus, edit her talk_convert_class to 1200. Now she will talk like a Zealotus.If you want to edit what she says, then you may. However, note that if you edit this, both the Zealotus and Succubus will say the same things. It is not currently possibly to add in talk for Succubus and not replace anything. I recommend choosing a pet that you or your clients may never use, and replace that pet's dialogue.

Client Side

For your mob to exist in the client, you need to add it to a few Lua files.

[edit]datainfo/npcidentity.lua

Example at the end of the file:

["JT_4_F_TAEKWON"] = 644,
["JT_4_F_SWORDMAN"] = 645,
-- Custom Mobs
["JT_JACOB"] = 2500,
["JT_AQUARING"] = 2600
}

The number after the = sign denotes the mob's database ID number. Other sprites in this file have their view ID e.g. NPC sprite number.

[edit]datainfo/jobname.lua

Example at the end of the file:

[jobtbl.JT_GIBBET] = "GIBBET",
[jobtbl.JT_DULLAHAN] = "DULLAHAN",
[jobtbl.JT_LOLI_RURI] = "LOLI_RURI",
[jobtbl.JT_DISGUISE] = "DISGUISE",
-- Custom Mobs
[jobtbl.JT_JACOB] = "jacobmob",
[jobtbl.JT_AQUARING] = "aquaring"
}

In this file, the value after the = sign is the name of the actual sprite in your data folder/GRF

Did you diff your client Read Data folder first? If no, Did you merge that sprite in yourData.grf?

 

then did you edit Data.in and add yourData.grf on it?

 

because your Client cant read the location of your sprite.

^ Please avoid double posting.

 

You must include it on yourData.grf using GRF tools, because I think client on ossi is not diff with that way.
