Item creation

Fridgecritter · #1 06-10-2012, 06:25 PM

I was wondering, instead of reinventing the wheel, if anyone has found a simple way to create new and unique items to the database for use in custom servers?

For instance, if I wanted to create a set of starter gear for my server, those of you who have done this before, I was hoping you would share your method. Is there a key somewhere to the different fields in the item database, and which ones not to mess with, how to add spell effects to the item, right click spells, etc...

I have performed a few searches here, and I have messed with GeorgeS tools, but maybe I am just missing it and it's right in front of my face? Thanks in advance.

GeorgeS tools are the key you're seeking. I believe Akkadius is working on a different editor, but I haven't heard anything on it in a while.

Which tool specifically? I downloaded the suite, but I don't see a by-field editor or a tool that created NEW items.

The tool titled EQITEMS:

Use the search bar to find an item similar to the item you want to create. Click the item, hit new edit, while inside the editor window click the copy button. You now have a new editable item with it's own unique itemid.

Still being worked on and will be finished, D3 just came out is all. And since it is kind of worn out it shouldn't be too long

Good to hear. Definitely highly anticipating the new tool.

It really wasn't taking long to make either I just had one Saturday to possibly work on before the summer hit and then I went on vacation and D3 came out at the same time. Trevius went down the same path

Either way I will try to get back to revisiting this. Work and life has been extremely busy which doesn't help either.

I feel you on that. No rush or anything. I too have been consumed by not only D3, but also Skyrim.

DOwnloading the latest eqitems from GeorgeS. Hopefully that is what you are talking about.

Here is the link to the other thread where they discuss it.

OK I finally figured it out by reading this thread:

http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/sho...ariables+table

He talks about the same error, and how it wouldn't work because he forgot a \ in the path name in the db.ini and when he fixed that, it worked.

I am on my developer machine remoting into the server, so I didn't have EQ installed on the machine. I installed EQ SoD and now the item editor works fine.
