Feel free to copy things of my tutorial but do not forget to give credits.
Writing this tutorial took me lots of time.
Respect this hard work as I respect yours.

________________________________________________________________________________



1. Itemdata Editing

Spoiler!

open Itemdata.txt
/Media/server_dep/silkroad/textdata/itemdata.txt

Code: Select all

WEAPON CODES:
BLADE=CH_BLADE_XX
GLAVIE=CH_TBLADE_XX
BOW=CH_BOW_XX
SPEAR=CH_SPEAR_XX
SHIELD=CH_SHIELD_XX
SWORD=CH_SWORD_XX
DAGGER=EU_DAGGER_XX
CLERIC ROD=EU_STAFF_XX
STAFF=EU_TSTAFF_XX
HARP=EU_HARP_XX
WARLOCK ROD=EU_DARKSTAFF_XX
CROSSBOW=EU_CROSSBOW_XX
AXE=EU_AXE_XX
TWO HANDED SWORD=EU_TSWORD_XX
ONE HANDED SWORD=EU_SWORD_XX
SHIELD=EU_SHIELD_XX

CLOTHES:
GARMENT=CH_Y_CLOTHES_XX
PROTECTOR=CH_Y_LIGHT_XX
ARMOR=CH_Y_HEAVY_XX

ROBE=EU_Y_CLOTHES_XX
LIGHT ARMOR=EU_Y_LIGHT_XX
HEAVY ARMOR=EU_Y_HEAVY_XX


XX = Degree (01,02,03....08,09,10)
Y = Gender (Male = M ; Female = W)

Expample:
changing Blade 8th (2.tier) to 9th (3.tier) to 10th
Search for CH_BLADE_08
[screenshot]

in the middle you will find bsr and ddj codes
bsr is that what you can see ingame
the degree changes
and ddj is the icon of the weapon

now change the degrees
[screenshot]




You also can change clothes and job suits

for job suits you need to know that codes:

Code: Select all

- White Flag: ITEM_CH_M_TRADE_TRADER_02 ; ITEM_CH_W_TRADE_TRADER_02
- Red Flag: ITEM_CH_M_TRADE_TRADER_03 ; ITEM_CH_W_TRADE_TRADER_03

- Identity Card: ITEM_CH_M_TRADE_HUNTER_02 ; ITEM_CH_W_TRADE_HUNTER_02
- Special Identity Card: ITEM_CH_M_TRADE_HUNTER_03 ; ITEM_CH_W_TRADE_HUNTER_03

- Black Suit: ITEM_CH_M_TRADE_THIEF_02 ; ITEM_CH_W_TRADE_THIEF_02
- Devil Suit: ITEM_CH_M_TRADE_THIEF_03 ; ITEM_CH_W_TRADE_THIEF_03



KOREAN SPECIAL SUITS:
JUST INSTERT THE NUMBER 4 INSTEAD OF 2 OR 3
ITEM_CH_W_TRADE_THIEF_04

[screenshot]

2. SoX Editing

Spoiler!

open itemrare.txt
/Media/resinfo/silkroad/itemrare.txt

first you need this codes

Code: Select all

Normal weapon:
A=1Tier
B=2Tier
C=3Tier
SoX:
A_RARE=SoS
B_RARE=SoM
C_RARE=SoSun
Honor:
A_RARE_HONOR=Seal Of Honor Star
B_RARE_HONOR=Seal Of Honor Moon
C_RARE_HONOR=Seal Of Honor Sun

[screenshot]

these are the codes for honor
if you delete the _HONOR of the code _C_RARE_HONOR you will change Seal of Sun to Seal of Honor Sun

[screenshot]

if you put _HONOR to the code _C_RARE you will change Seal of Honor Sun to Seal of Sun

[screenshot]

you can change normal weapons to sox or soh too
you need to delete _RARE_HONOR to get soh
and _RARE to get sox

if your edited weapon is a normal weapon you also need to edit the itemdata.txt

open your itemdata.txt

look for your item
my item is the BLADE_08_C
in that line you will see the number "180000"
there are 2 zero's after that number
just change the second "0" to "2"
[screenshot]

result:
[screenshot]

that step is important because this will show your weapon as SoX ingame
but the bad thing is that your weapon is show as sox in your inventory too and the name of the weapon is yellow.
but i think that isnt a problem

WARNING:
If you want to change sox of blade , there are 2 codes

[screenshot]
you need to change both to get the full sox glow
otherwise you will see the half glow or just the sun
its just for sos and sosun

3. Glow Editing:

Spoiler!

open itemtypenumber.txt
it is in the same folder as itemrare.txt

[screenshot]
standard glows


[screenshot]
changed to +9

i think the picture tells how to change the glows

Notice: Copy only the color codes, not the whole line!!!


XXXX XXXX XXXX
Red Green Blue

4. Character Editing

Spoiler!

open characterdata.txt
its in the same folder as the itemdata.txt

now i will edit Wolf into a Genie

first you need to search for the wolf_02
if you have done just look for the lvl of your pet you want to change

[screenshot]

now paste wolf_02 over with jinn_02 (the code for the genie)
ddj is the icon of the pet

you also can change the growth of the pet
on lvl 80 your pet has got the growth 120
dunno what unit it is but its the growth xD
if you change the 120 to 180 your pet will be bigger

5. Removing Itemall and Event Windows

Itemmall Window:

Spoiler!

open mall_notify.txt
/Media/server_dep/silkroad/event/mall_notify.txt

Code: Select all

Open = "1"

change to

Code: Select all

Open = "0"

Event Window:
open event_interface.txt
/Media/server_dep/silkroad/event/event_interface.txt

Code: Select all

Open = "1"

change to

Code: Select all

Open = "0"

6. Skill Editing

Spoiler!

Well, I've seen a lot of wrong tutorials referring skill editing
I've decided to make my own tut which will work for 100%

now, first of all you will need the skilleffect.txt (there are 2 skilleffect.txt)
you will need both files


open skilleffect.txt
1. - /Media/server_dep/silkroad/textdata/skilleffect.txt
2. - /Media/resinfo/skilleffect.txt

after you've opened you will see after exploring the files that there are two parts
first part there are the FALSE which means while doing the skill there will be effects like the blue effect of anti devil bow or the yellow effect of strong bow
second part there are the SHOT or ACT which means that there is an action while doing the skill like hawk summon or Soul spear soul

at first i will show you how to edit the lightning hawk (Lv 76) to fire hawk (Lv 100+) (bow skill)
search for the string:
SKILL_CH_BOW_CALL_D
you will see that there is the false line
search again after you see the ACT line

[screenshot]


then scroll to the side and you will see the skill name:
res\npc\animal\ lighthawk.bsr

[screenshot]

change it to:
res\npc\animal\ firehawk.bsr
which stands at the last line of the skill tree SKILL_CH_BOW_CALL

[screenshot]


Notice:! You need to edit both skilleffect.txt files to get the new skills as a result


Now i will edit the Anti Devil Bow - Strike (Lv 71) to Anti Devil Bow Dunno xD (Lv 100+)

coz its only an effect while doing the skill (Blue ray of Anti Devil Bow) we only need the 1. part of the skilleffect.txt file

Search for SKILL_CH_BOW_CRITICAL_D

[screenshot]

Scroll to the side after you see that string:
skill\china\force_bow_critical_b.efp

[screenshot]

edit the "b" to "c"

result:
skill\china\force_bow_critical_c.efp

[screenshot]


Notice:! You need to edit both skilleffect.txt files to get the new skills as a result


After editing both Files you can import the files manually*

*If you have got 2 files with the same name there will be a conflict which Drew_Benton's Pk2-Editor cannot deal with

∞. Importing the Files to the .pk2

Spoiler!

open Drew's Pk2 Editor:

open Media.pk2:
File -> open -> Media.pk2


Automatic Single File Update:
open your file which you want to import (my file is itemdata.txt):
Automatic Single File Update -> Select File -> itemdata.txt -> Import


Manual Single File Update:
this function is used if there are two or more files with the same name but in different folders:
Example:
skilleffect.txt
\Media\server_dep\silkroad\textdata\skilleffect.txt
\Media\resinfo\skilleffect.txt <--- this is what i will use

Manual Single File Update -> Select File -> skilleffect.txt (Folder: \Media\resinfo)
Entry Name: skilleffect.txt
Entry Folder: \Media\resinfo
-> Import!

I also support the codes for items in the pk2 files
Just ask for the item i will give you the codes!

Useful Tools:

[PK2-Extractor // PK2-Editor]

PK2-Extractor - Basic Tool

This is a PK2 file extractor. It allows you to open up the PK2s and extract the files. Unlike the existing PK2 Extractor, this one has a few extra features. There are two modes: Explore mode and Search mode.

Explore mode allows you to navigate through the PK2 structure and selectively extract folders or files. A simple tree view control is used so when you click on entries you can see details on the file name, file path, and file size.

Search mode allows you to perform searches on the PK2 entries to find the files you wish to extract. You can search by a string found in the path or title of an entry, the file size, and entry type (file or folder). In addition to being able to just search, you can Filter results. This means you can search for all ".ddj" files of a size less than 1kb that have the phrase "skill" in them for example.

PK2-Editor - Basic Tool

This is a fully functional PK2 Editor. With this tool, you can import in modified PK2 files as well as import your own new files into the PK2 archive. The files you import can be larger or smaller than the original, the functions used will take care of everything. However, it is important to remember that the PK2s expect files in certain formats, so trying to import a dds in place of a ddj will result in a Silkroad crash.

The main functionally implemented for the PK2 editor is: automatic single file import, automatic multiple file import, and single file manual import. The automatic imports work by searching the PK2 for the file you are importing, if only one etrny exists, it can update that entry. If more than one entry exists, it will fail and you will have to use the manual import.

-Thx goes to Drew_Benton and Tray

[Rakion]

Bookmarked... tnx dude! i'm gona try the skill edits

[penfold1992]

i think having to click on the screenshots is a neusence, do you think it would be ok to put all the screenshots in the post?

[/Pi]

WinHex is licensed. @_@ You should double check that because I don't think this forum allows links/downloads to crack/keygens to licensed software. The same goes for Camtasia Studio.

Just a heads up.

It's good to see people from 0x33 share their work in this community. Though I hope we won't get into that inevitable conflict soon.

[raphaell666]

While downloading the PK2.TEAMEXiT.rar file, my anti-virus found:
Win32:Neptunia-LU [Trj]
And then it stopped downloading the file.

Looks like a good guide though, lol.

EDIT: Do NOT download it, my anti-virus programs are having problems to delete these files. And, there are viruses on both files actually.

EDIT: AVG Free got rid of them.

[Skayunor]

Nice guide.

ok then download the files from another sites
at first you wont need the winhex/camtasia package

the first tools are enough
later i will add some more tutorials and you will need them...

[Jaapii]

AVG found a keylogger and other mal- spyware..
Imo, don't download it..

[crYstaL_xT]

these arent my tools...
we've just uploaded the files...

[ranger4life]

it'd be great if we didnt have to click screenshots o.o

[crYstaL_xT]

it'd be great if we didnt have to click screenshots o.o

oO?
if i put the screens as images it would be a huge post -.-

[penfold1992]

im confused about editing 2 skill txts.

when i changed my bicheon chains im sure i only changed one?!?

why do i have to change both?

[ranger4life]

it'd be great if we didnt have to click screenshots o.o

oO?
if i put the screens as images it would be a huge post -.-

then just put a 56k warning on the topic.

[crYstaL_xT]

im confused about editing 2 skill txts.

when i changed my bicheon chains im sure i only changed one?!?

why do i have to change both?

there are 2 skilleffect.txt files
i dont know which one affects on the game
havent tested it yet
both files are nearly the same
you need to the same edits @ both files

then just put a 56k warning on the topic.

why?
if someone has got a 56k connection he wont be able to learn s.th!
thats unfair!
i dont want to disable the chance for learning s.th coz some guys dont want to click on pictures?

[penfold1992]

ok then, if your not sure on that...

if i want to edit nukes, say... the cold ice rain. i want to edit it to little meteors and lightning bolts (cruor did it a whilst ago) what part would i need to change.

im going to be trying it soon

trust me, tahts for the elite editors. that gets to be extremely time taking cuz of server traffic. just ask cruor or the other poeple who have done it

[penfold1992]

OK L! i was just asking what to edit,

[William-CL]

i think having to click on the screenshots is a neusence, do you think it would be ok to put all the screenshots in the post?

Better yet, you should put each section into a spoiler so ppl can sort through them really fast rather than scroll a bunch and maybe miss it. As for the guide, it's ok. But many guides have already showed this and I think some are more specific to each Kind if edit. All my pk2 edit skills came from the abundance of what is here already.

To extend Blackdragon6's post, here's the code:

[crYstaL_xT]

done
dl-links fixed

[Enuration]

Can I add glows to +0 items ? and there is no new skills codes or 10th degrees items.

[crYstaL_xT]

yes you can
every single + can be filled with glow!

what do you mean with new skills and 10th deg?

(no, they arent in the isro pk2 files)

[Enuration]

Then why did you posted new skills codes if I can't even use it.

Mind Bow Series - SKILL_CH_BOW_SPECIAL_X like this code.

About Fire/Cold/Lightning River series latest I can use is C ? Because when I used D I got error.

[crYstaL_xT]

what are you changing can you write the code?

[crYstaL_xT]

Tutorial Added!
7. Stall Network Fix

Thanks goes to NHEnglish

[Enuration]

Whats doing that Stall Network ? and later I post few screen shots of the codes I change. When I'm doing that "Removing Itemall and Event Windows" I don't see any changes what exactly it supposed to remove and is it possible to remove the windows which keep opening once I die ? like help window and the other one.

Item mall pop up is at right bottom of screen. Its enabled by default.
Event window is for only one event and its disabled by default.

For help and welcome msg window I have no clue how to remove it and I was looking nearly everywhere.

[MoneymakerR]

wow, this realy helps and, now i know why my skills didnt change IG but anyways, try to make the images visible in the post itself not by clicking on it ( [img]blahblahblah[/img])

[penfold1992]

i think u only need to edit the one in server_dep. correct me if im wrong.

also does ny1 kno what to change in the ice nuke to make it meteor?
