New Spell: item description info "Not working"

[demonstar55]

One of the various spell fields named something like "desc" is probably wrong.

I want to be clear. I actually think you are right. The spell I copied is spell 666. My new spell ID is 45000. I suspect when you right click it tries to find a link to somewhere that gives info about spell 45000 "using the ID" and I have not put that info in. When you click the old spell it uses the ID of "666" so it finds the right info.

Now I have gone looking where this info might link to there is an items_us.txt but its not in there I dont think (infact I dont think this is even used?) but I cant seem to find where this "structure" of the Description pane is even stored.

Watch your maximum Spell ID per client.

You will also need to edit the dbstr file to include the descriptions and information regarding that spell.

100% it. Just looking into how it works on the client and it sounds like a spell isn't loaded client side.

The max spell ID on the client side is < 50000. I know as it created the id 50000 for my spell originally and I couldnt cast it. Once I changed it to a free ID of 45000 it worked for the GM to cast.

There are a LOT less that 50000 spells.

Tit has a much smaller cap.

I have been doing a LOT of digging on this and no closer.
I tried replicating my results by making a second spell. For some reason I cant make that one into a scroll as it is failing somewhere I must have changed the first time.

However I have found back to my first problem some more info that narrows down where I am having problems.

My spell scroll is missing the "grey text" which I would suggest is part of the "Spell" not being correct. Grey spell text

Does anyone know how this grey text is generated / linked to?
