Structure

First, let's take a look at the item_db.conf in the db folder, and its structure:

item_db: (
{
  // =================== Mandatory fields ===============================
  Id: ID                        (int)
  AegisName: "Aegis_Name"       (string, optional if Inherit: true)

  // =================== Optional fields ================================
  Type: Item Type               (int, defaults to 3 = etc item)

Some commonly used values:
All Classes               : 0xFFFFFFFF
Every Job Except Novice   : 0xFFFFFFFE
  • Upper: Specifies whether the item can be used by normal, baby or reborn classes. Values below can be combined, i. e. 1|4 -> 5 (Normal+Baby Classes)
    • Note: Setting 2 enables the item for Transcendant and 3rd classes. Use 8 to enable the item for 3rd classes only.
Normal jobs:      0x01 (1)
Upper jobs:       0x02 (2)
Baby jobs:        0x04 (4)
Third jobs:       0x08 (8)
Upper Third jobs: 0x10 (16)
Baby Third jobs:  0x20 (32)

Under pre-re mode third classes are considered upper, making use of
the 8 and above masks is therefore not necessary unless in renewal
mode. When no value is specified, all classes (mask 0x3f) are able to
equip the item.
  • Gender: Gender restriction for the item.
0 = Female
1 = Male
2 = No restriction (both)
  • Loc: Equipment location of armor and arrow-type items. Values below can be combined, i. e. 136 would indicate both accessory slots (typical value for accessories).

(2^1)        2 = Right hand
(2^2)        4 = Mantle
(2^3)        8 = Accessory 1
(2^4)       16 = Armor
(2^5)       32 = Left hand

(2^21) 2097152 = Shadow Accessory 1
  • WeaponLv: Weapon level of an item (1-4), Becomes 0 when not specified.
  • EquipLv: Base level required to be able to equip. It is possible to specify two values, if an item has a maximum level, by using the following syntax:
EquipLv: [minLv, maxLv]

   If only one value is specified, maxLv becomes the current server's
   MAX_LEVEL. If no values are specified, minLv becomes 0.
  • Refineable: Whether the item is available for refining (1) or not (0). If no value is specified, it defaults to true.
  • View: For normal items, defines a replacement view-sprite for the item
  • (eg: Making apples look like apple juice). The special case are weapons and ammo where this value indicates the weapon-class of the item.
    • Weapon-type items:
      1. Daggers
      2. One-Handed Swords
      3. Two-Handed Swords
      4. One-Handed Spears

    • Headgear-type items: Please see the View IDs section of this guide.
  • BindOnEquip: Whether the item will automatically bind to the character when it is equipped for the first time.

  • An item that has this field set, will display a confirmation dialog the first time it is equipped, and, if accepted, the item will become character-bound.
  • Script: This is where you put your item bonus. Whether it's an usable item or an equip item, it will take effect according to the item type.
  • OnEquip_Script: Script to execute when the item is equipped. Warning, not all item bonuses will work here as expected.
  • OnUnequip_Script: Script to execute when the item is unequipped. Warning, not all item bonuses will work here as expected.
  • Inherit: This can be used only in item_db2.conf, and if set to true, and the item already exists in item_db.conf,
  • all the missing fields will be inherited from there rather than using their default values.

In the doc folder look for a text file called "item_bonus", it shows all the scripts items can have and how they work.

For more information about this structure read Item DB file structure overhaul

Defining Item clientside (Renewal Clients <

2012-04-10a & Main Clients <= 2012-07-10a) = After you make your item, put it in your item_db2.txt, so that you will not run into conflicts when updating your repository later. Then go to your data folder and modify the following files, one after another.

idnum2itemdisplaynametable.txt

This file holds the item names, as displayed inside the client. Each item added as:

ItemID#ItemName#

ItemID is the number from your ID column inside the item db. If your item name contains spaces, replace those with _ (underscore).

idnum2itemdesctable.txt

This file contains the description of your item, when it is right-clicked. The syntax for an item is:

ItemID#
Item Description Line 1
Item Description Line 2 (And so on)
#

You can use any amount of lines for the description. If your description contains a #, make sure it is followed by a space character. You can look at existing items for an idea of how to format a description.

idnum2itemresnametable.txt

This file sets the inventory and drop-sprite for the item. Item is defined as follows:

ItemID#SpriteName#

The SpriteName is the name of the files in collection and item folders inside texture and the ones inside sprite folder. If you want to use the look of an another item, search for it's id and copy the sprite name from there.

itemslotcounttable.txt

In this file you set the amount of visible slots for the item. You do not need to add 0 slot items or items, which do not have slots at all (i. e. usable items). Syntax:

ItemID#NumberOfSlots#

NumberOfSlots should be a number from 1-4, larger values might have undesired effects.

Files for non-identified items

The following files specify the name, description and look for items, which have not yet been identified. Their syntax follows the same rules as for the files with idnum prefix. Normally the same text is entered for non-equipment and generic description (which can be copied from official items) is used for equipment of all sorts (weapons, armor, headgears).

  • num2itemdesctable.txt
  • num2itemdisplaynametable.txt
  • num2itemresnametable.txt

accname.lub

accname.lub can be found with the other lua files under RO folder/data/luafiles514/luafiles/datainfo. If you do not have these folders or this file, see this topic and download the latest translated data folder. It points to the item's sprite file. It is as follows:

 [ACCESSORY_IDs.ACCESSORY_ITEM_NAME] = "Item_Name",

accessoryid.lub

This is where the view ID for your item can be found. It can be located in the same folder as accname.lub. It is as follows:

 ACCESSORY_ITEM_NAME = ViewID#,

Defining Items clientside (For New Clients)

If your client date is newer than specified above then you need to specify all the above item information in 1 file.

System/ItemInfo.lub

Syntax:

[<item id>] = {
  unidentifiedDisplayName = <item name to show when not magnified>,
  unidentifiedResourceName = <file name prefix used for all the images and drop sprite when not magnified>,
  unidentifiedDescriptionName = { <comma separated list of strings>,<to get multiple lines>,<in item description> },
  identifiedDisplayName = <item name to show when magnified>,
  identifiedResourceName = <file name prefix used for all the images and drop sprite when magnified>,
  identifiedDescriptionName = { <same format as unidentifiedDescriptionName but for magnified items> },
  slotCount = <number of slots>,
  ClassNum = <View ID - yes the same one that was there item_db>
},

For Weapons, ClassNum = View ID specified in Weapon_IDs table (inside weapontable.lub file). Look below for details.

You can also put the different values in DescriptionName in separate lines.

Example: Lets say I want to add a weapon to item id 25000 - a One-handed sword named Devastator with 3 slots and the image/drop sprite files are all named Black_Sword.* . Also I want to display a Sword when not identified.

[25000] = {
  unidentifiedDisplayName = "Sword",
  unidentifiedResourceName = "¼Òµå",
  unidentifiedDescriptionName = { "Unidentified item, can be identified with [Magnifier]." },
  identifiedDisplayName = "Devastator",
  identifiedResourceName = "Black_Sword",
  identifiedDescriptionName = {
    "An Unholy Sword that was created with the sole purpose of destruction",
    "Class :^777777 Sword^000000",
    "Attack :^777777 325^000000",
    "Weight :^777777 80^000000",
    "Weapon Level :^777777 4^000000",
    "Required Level :^777777 100^000000",
    "Applicable Job :^777777 Novice, Swordsman Class, Merchant Class, Thief Class^000000"
  },
  slotCount = 3,
  ClassNum = 2
},

The unidentifiedResourceName is the Sword item's sprite name, so the client will show it as a sword when not identified. The ClassNum is also 2, for a one-handed sword. If you want to use another sprite for your unidentifiedResourceName, simply search (ctrl+f) for the item's name in iteminfo.lub and copy the identifiedResourceName value for that item and apply it to your custom item's unidentifiedResourceName value.

Allocating Items on Client Side

Most custom items will have 6 files (if yours does not, see Less Than 6 Files):

1) Drop sprite -> Helmet_drop.spr 
2) Drop act file -> Helmet_drop.act
3) Item Inventory image -> Helmet_item.bmp
4) Item Collection image -> Helmet_collection.bmp (the one you see on its description window)
5) Headgear View sprite -> Helmet.spr
6) Headgear View act file -> Helmet.act

Lets say I downloaded a custom item called Helmet which serves as a headgear and the above six files were in them.

Sprite Locations

We place the six files in the following folders

  • Copy Helmet_drop.spr to [RO Folder]\data\sprite\¾ÆÀÌÅÛ\Helmet.spr
  • Copy Helmet_drop.act to [RO Folder]\data\sprite\¾ÆÀÌÅÛ\Helmet.act
  • Copy Helmet_item.bmp to [RO Folder]\data\texture\À¯ÀúÀÎÅÍÆäÀ̽º\item\Helmet.bmp
  • Copy Helmet_collection.bmp to [RO Folder]\data\texture\À¯ÀúÀÎÅÍÆäÀ̽º\collection\Helmet.bmp
  • Copy Helmet.spr to [RO Folder]\data\sprite\¾Ç¼¼»ç¸®\¿©\¿©_Helmet.spr (Female) AND ¿©_Helmet.act
  • Copy Helmet.spr to [RO Folder]\data\sprite\¾Ç¼¼»ç¸®\³²\³²_Helmet.spr (Male) AND ³²_Helmet.act

If the process confused you, here is an example folder, the sprite is done by drkangel. The folder is virus free.

Specifications of the files

1) Drop sprites - ideally have 1 frame & its act file will be just an empty act (only header will be there inside)

2) Equip sprites - typically have 3+ frames to show images for various orientations & its act file will have the info on where to place each frame and movement animations.

3) Item bmp - 24x24 size 256 bit bmp file. Magenta (FF00FF hexadecimal value) background.

4) Collection bmp - 75x100 size bmp file (usually 256 bit but there is no restriction)

How to differentiate between sprite files?

Open both sprite files in Spr Conview. The number of frames in the files can be seen at bottom (Sprite: /). If it says Sprite: 1/1 then its a drop sprite and the other is equip sprite.

Sometimes what sprite authors do is they simply copy the original sprite itself to make a drop sprite. In this case you will see both of them as identical when opened in Spr Conview & we don't need to worry about which one is which (since they are the same).

Less Than 6 Files

In rare cases or for garment and accessory items, you may have less than 6 files to place. For a garment or accessory, you do not need a .spr and .act because these items are not visible on a character, therefore they do not require a .spr or .act file. For weapons, headgears, and shields, you should have 6 files. If you do not, you will have to create the missing files yourself. Especially for old sprites, the spriter may have just made the sprites and made no collection image, item image, or drop sprite. See Spriting on how to create these yourself.

Modifications

Sprite Replacement

To replace a headgear with your customized headgear, just delete one of the items you want, and replace your customised item ID with that id.

Lets say you have something like this:

15000,Angel_Wing,Angel Wing,4,,10,10,0,,1,0,0,3,0,0,0,0,0,{},{},{}

And there's an item you wont need, such as:

2220,Hat,Hat,5,1000,,200,,2,,0,10477567,2,256,,0,1,16,{},{},{}

Well, to replace it, just delete everything in the hat line but its ID, and paste there your custom item, all the line but the ID. Should be like this:

2220,Hat,Hat,5,1000,,200,,2,,0,10477567,2,256,,0,1,16,{},{},{}
15000,Angel_Wing,Angel Wing,4,,10,10,0,,1,0,0,3,0,0,0,0,0,{},{},{}
2220,Angel_Wing,Angel Wing,4,,10,10,0,,1,0,0,3,0,0,0,0,0,{},{},{}

All you need to do now is changing the View ID to the Hat, and change your file names to its name. You can find them on the idnum2resnametable.txt Search for 2220 and the gibberish besides it, w/o the # # is the file name, then rename it to your custom item name.

Remember to add the files to data\sprite\¾ÆÀÌÅÛ (Icon sprite) and both data\sprite\¾Ç¼¼»ç¸®\³² (Male Item Sprite) and data\sprite\¾Ç¼¼»ç¸®\¿© (Female Item Sprite). Remember, these 2 last item names, must have either a ³²_ for male or ¿©_ for female, at the beginning of the name, both .spr and .act. Also, don't forget to change the other files:

idnum2itemdisplaynametable.txt , idnum2itemdesctable.txt , idnum2itemdesctable.txt , num2itemdesctable.txt , num2itemdisplaynametable.txt , num2itemresnametable.txt and itemslotcounttable.txt

Use these files if you want to replace sprites, they will be useful.

  • actOR: with the actor you modify the act file, which is the one who tells the client where does the weapon go and what does it have to do and at a certain moment.
  • SPR Conview: you can use these to view which sprite is which, and also see sequence per sequence.

Item Restrictions

Look on your db folder for a file called item_trade.txt and open it

Now, the pattern for a flag is:

Item ID, TradeMask, GM-Level Override

  • Item ID: the ID of your item.
  • TradeMask: Testrictions the item will have, such as being dropped, stored or traded. These values can be combined to achieve multiple effects.
1:Item can't be dropped
2:Item can't be traded (nor vended)
4:Item can only be traded with wedded partner
8:Item can't be sold to NPCs
16:Item can't be placed in the cart
32:Item can't be placed in the storage
64:Item can't be placed in the guild storage
  • GM-Level Override: This is the minimum GM level a player must have to avoid these restrictions.

Item Script

Okay, I'll update this as I go; otherwise, I wont have anything new to show. First with usable items.

Well, there are 3 types of usables:

1.- Healing items, they have in the type field a 0.

2.- Other uses items, such as fly wings and so, which doesn't heal, but does have an instant effect, they have in the type field a 2.

3.- Usable items, which are skills that requires a target selection, therefore they have a delayed use, and in newer versions the item wont be gone until the target is chosen and the cast has finished. Means, you wont lose the item if the skill hasn't been done. They have in the type field an 11.

Now, for an item skill, the pattern for a skill is:

itemskill ,;

Without <> of course.

Now, we go to our db\skill_db.txt and search for the blessing ID, searching for AL_ or blessing, but first, the structure of a skill:

id,range,hit,inf,element,nk,splash,max,list_num,castcancel,cast_defence_rate,inf2,maxcount,skill_type,blow_count,name,description

Now, the AL_BLESSING or Blessing Skill:

34,9,6,16,0,0x1,0,10,1,yes,0,0,0,magic,0,  AL_BLESSING,Blessing

We grab the ID and put it on our code:

itemskill 34,;

Don't mind the actual level of the skill_db.txt for the skill level part. You can actually put the level you want here below 99, so lets pick 4:

itemskill 34,4;

And finally, insert it on the code.

,{ itemskill 34,4; },{},{}

There, we have a Lvl 4 Blessing item skill.

Remember, one space before and one after the script, NOT TAB!

And so on with other skills. Just remember these steps and they should be fine. And remember, itemskill is NOT the same as skill. itemskill will make you CAST that skill, while skill will GIVE you the skill. If you give an item, whether delayed use or normal usable two itemskill commands, only the latter will come into effect, as you cannot cast two skills at the same time.

Now, for Potions.

Instead of using itemskill, we will use itemheal:

,{ itemheal 100,0; },{},{}

The green is the HP, the blue is the SP. To add that random heal amount effect, just pick a set amount, let's say 120, then pick 1 or 2 numbers, up to you. Then, add the rand() command, like this:

,{ itemheal rand(120,9,49),0; },{},{}

Explanation: This item will heal about 49~120 hp and 0 SP. To heal SP you change the 0 to a number. Like this:

,{ itemheal rand(120,9,49),50; },{},{}

It will now heal 50 SP. Now, for skilleffect and sc_start.

Okay, let's see. Here's a example of an item casting a skill and simulating a skill.

,{ itemskill 34,10; skilleffect 29,0; sc_start 12,140000,5; },{},{}

skilleffect will display on your client a skill visual effect. The pattern is:

skilleffect ,;

  • skill ID
    Self-explanatory.
  • number
    Have you seen those skills that shows up numbers upon casting? Such as heal? Well, putting a number there will display it. But only works on skills with numbers floating.

sc_start has the following pattern:

sc_start ,,[,];

  • status id
    Refer to const.txt in your db folder for all effects. Open it with a text editor then search by either clicking edit, then find, or press and hold the ctrl key, and while still holding it press the f key, then release, and search for "SC_ALL -1". Everything below this is an effect. The effects stop at "e_gasp 0" which are emoticons.
  • duration
    Is the amount time in milliseconds (1000 msec = 1 sec) that the status will be active.
  • val1
    Typically it's the level of the skill, associated with this status.
  • unit id
    Allows to start the status on an other unit, than the attached player. For players this is account id. This parameter is optional, and can be omitted.

Now, for the item I said, it will show you the visual effect of Blessing and cast on you a lvl 5 Agi-Up! skill for 140 seconds.

For more item scripts see script_commands.txt in your doc folder, as well as item_bonus.txt in your doc folder.

==Weapon Sprite Solution (Renewal Clients <= 2012-04-10a & Main Clients <= 2012-07-10a)== For these clients, Weapons are limited to use a range of Item IDs hardcoded in the clientn for each type. For e.g.

1265,Bloody_Roar,Bloody Roar,4,,10,1000,120,,1,0,4096,7,2,34,4,75,1,16,{ bonus bIgnoreDefRace,RC_DemiHuman; bonus bFlee,-160; bonus bFlee2,-160; bonus bNoRegen,1; bonus bNoRegen,2; },{},{}
1266,Test,Test,4,4000,2000,10,165,,1,0,4096,7,2,34,3,33,1,16,{}

// 1-Handed Axes
1301,Axe,Axe,4,500,,800,38,,1,3,8803555,7,2,2,1,3,1,6,{}

Here the item 1266 is a custom katar and it does show up as a katar (if you have the proper sprite files ofcourse). but if i use some id like say 22000, client wont display it. So what is the range of item ids you can use? Look below:

  • One handed Swords = 1100-1149, 13400-13499
  • Two handed Swords = 1150-1199, 21000-21999
  • Knives, Daggers etc = 1200-1249, 13000-13099
  • Katars = 1250-1299 ; Has 35 free IDs
  • One handed Axes = 1300-1349; Has 43 free IDs
  • Two handed Axes = 1350-1399; Has 32 free IDs
  • One handed Spears = 1400-1449; Has 34 free IDs
  • Two Handed Spears = 1450-1471, 1474-1499
  • Maces = 1500-1549, 16000-16999
  • Books = 1550-1599 ; Has only 2 IDs.
  • Knuckles = 1800-1899 ; Has 95 free IDs
  • One Handed Staves/Rods = 1600-1699; Has 79 free IDs
  • Two Handed Staves/Rods = 1472,1473,2000-2099
  • Bows = 1700-1749, 18100-18499
  • Guitars = 1900-1949 ; Has 32 free IDs
  • Whips = 1950-1999 ; Has 130 free IDs
  • Handguns = 13100-13149
  • Other guns = 13150-13199
  • Ninja weapons = 13300-13399

The number of unused Item IDs left known for a range has also been mentioned above. Best practice to follow check in your range in official db before adding custom weapon.

Weapon Sprite Solution (For New Clients)

For new clients the view id system is also applicable to client. To add a custom weapon you need to first edit a file called weapontable.lub in your data folder

data/luafiles514/lua files/datainfo/weapontable.lub

I will be adding Oriental_Sword which will be a 1-Handed sword. Open weapontable.lub. First you will see a table called Weapon_IDs. Take note of the first 30 values in this table - these are the only available Weapon types in the client right now.

Anyways go to the last entry which should be for Wizardy Staff = 97. You can use a view id after that like shown below

 WEAPONTYPE_Oriental_Sword = 98,

Come down and you see the next table called WeaponNameTable. Here is where you add your sprite name suffix.
What do i mean by that? Its the last part in your weapon sprite & act file. Before it used to be _.

data/sprite//_.spr

OK Back to topic. so I add my entry like shown below.

[Weapon_IDs.WEAPONTYPE_Oriental_Sword] = "Oriental"

Lastly come down further in weapontable.lub and you see the last table called Expansion_Weapon_IDs.
Remember the 30 types i told you to take note of ? here we assign one of those to our custom (like a mapping or connection).
Since mine is a 1-Handed Sword I specify it like below.

[Weapon_IDs.WEAPONTYPE_Oriental_Sword] = Weapon_IDs.WPCLASS_WEAPONTYPE_SWORD 

Now for the most important part. For our client to actually pick up all these details we need to provide the view id which we used in Weapon_IDs table as the ClassNum value in ItemInfo.lua. Check the ItemInfo.lub format shown above for details.

With this your weapon sprite will become visible while attacking.

Troubleshooting

File Not Found "Cannot find File : path\to\file\filename.extension"

As the error states, the client cannot find the file required to display the sprite, act, collection, or item image for the item. Make sure you put your file in the right place and that it is named correctly.

Unknown Item

If your item's name is unknown item and it has an apple icon, refer to Defining Items Clientside and make sure you added the item to each and every file, or just iteminfo.lua for a newer client.

Files Configured Correctly, Sprite Still Does Not Show up In-game

If you do not have your sprites and files compressed into a GRF, you will need to make sure your client is diffed to read your data folder first.
