Majour Guide on PK Editing

[er1c]

Oh thanks. I have a problem. I deleted Media pk.2. Now what do I doe? I tried downloading the program again but nothing shows up in "C:\Program Files\Silkroad"

[HyorunmarouZ]

Reinstall SRO, and when you install it it will ask you the directory, which is "C:\Program Files\Slikroad" by default but you can change it by clicking in "Browse".

Lol thx dude, i'm just trying to help whenever i can, because there are people who helped me too. I'm scared of Karma you know? j/k

I see no good in denying help when i am able to give it, unless the person who asks does it in a wrong-idiotic way...

[er1c]

Since you left iSRO, well, I dont know. They might come for you

[HyorunmarouZ]

I'll face them

[er1c]

Its just a cat . Your Death Face pretty much knocked it out By the way, can I do this? I have 2D armor. Could I Pk2.Edit it into 8D garmet? It needs .bsr after it on clothes too?

You can but it goes farther than just replace, "heavy" (Armor code) hasn't the same lenght as "clothes" (Garment code)
So if you replace: heavy_02 with clothes_08, your file will be messed up and your game won't run.

To be able to do this:

Replace "clothes_08" with "heavy_09"
Then, Replace "heavy_02" with "clothes_08"

It should work.

[er1c]

So you mean:

Find:
\heavy_02

Replace:
\Clothes_08

Sorry, I didint really get what you were trying to point out at your last post =\

EDIT: I think I get it now

Find:
Replace "heavy_02" with "clothes_08"

Replace:
Replace "clothes_08" with "heavy_09"

[HyorunmarouZ]

So you mean:

Find:
\heavy_02

Replace:
\Clothes_08

Sorry, I didint really get what you were trying to point out at your last post =\

First do this:

Find:
\clothes_08

Replace:
\heavy_09


Then, do this:

Find:
\heavy_02

Replace:
\clothes_08


You need to keep the file size of Media.pk2 the same. Just do this and it should work.

[er1c]

Thanks =]

[HyorunmarouZ]

So you mean:


Find:
Replace "heavy_02" with "clothes_08"

Replace:
Replace "clothes_08" with "heavy_09"

Don't do this, if you replace first heavy_02, you will have 2 sets of clothes_08, and you will mess up the file and your game won't run, do this FIRST:

Find: clothes_08

Replace: heavy_09


THEN

Find: heavy_02

Replace: clothes_08

You can, but browse for the post (i'm a bit tired to explain it in a detailed way), it's easy but you need to do it manually, the Find-Replace method doesn't work here.

this doesnt work for me i try and it sais string not found it never works i tried alot

[HyorunmarouZ]

Everytime the program tells you "string not found" mean that the words you wrote in the "Find" slot do not exist in the document, so you might have erased them or something. Follow the instructions closely and you should not have any problem.

If you edited your pk2 file with HexEdit121 more than once, the file becomes useless and SRO won't run. I think that's what is happening to you. And please, i know you are mad but try to not use cap letters, we are here trying to help people there's no need to insult them/us.

[ChronicTokes]

so how would I go about fixing this issue then?

[lynxz]

Boy, people. You need to read closely to the guide. Especially where it says to have the game CLOSED. Why would you keep the game open when you're modifying the content???????

If you corrupt your pk2, you should have saved a BACKUP. Always BACKUP everything you do with pk2. If you didn't you need to completely re-install the game again and reboot your computer.

I'll try to answer some questions now, I haven't been around much lately but I am right now. So anyone have any questions?

I saw someone do this...

BTW, Nice pk2 edit

[HyorunmarouZ]

so how would I go about fixing this issue then?

Reinstall SRO one last time, do not run the game (as lynxz suggested). If you want to edit your armor/weapons use XVI32 that program doesn't have any restrictions. However, there are edits like the wolf, which are more complex and are better made with HexEdit121.

Now the downside of this is that if you edit your file once and save, then do another edit and save, the file will corrupt, hence the game won't run.

So, in order to prevent this, be sure you will only edit it once, do the changes, save and run the game. If you want to edit again, take your backup with no changes and edit again. It's annoying sometimes but it's the only thing i can think about to help you right now.

i can't find the pk2 files!!!

[HyorunmarouZ]

i can't find the pk2 files!!!

Umm "C:\Program Files\Silkroad"

Or... do you mean you know where to find them but they are not there?...

[William-CL]

this doesnt work for me i try and it sais string not found it never works i tried alot

click unicode also Also i haven't tested this , but heard it works, what would happen if u deleted data.pk2 from isro and replaced it with ksro data.pk2? i heard that only media.pk2 had to stay the same size that it was , true?

Unicode and ANSI are two sifferent kinds of information in the file... depending the edit... for example, in the Seal Glows editing you need a lot of ANSI searching, while weapons/armor switching is Unicode. So it's not a bug, it's just searching for the wrong thing if that was the case...

Aboutpk2 files... yes, you can overwrite all except Media... that way i switched every char in iSRO to Euro once. It was weird... Euro chars are not designed to hold Chinese weapons... they hold bow as crossbow hehe

Only if you chnage Media to show them. Replacing the line of an existing mob with an Euro one or something.
