Ok, hi i'm new here so don't say "Wow its so easy you noob, you do... blah blah" Ok? Good

. Now i've been following the guide http://www.silkroadforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=42811&highlight=pk2+edit+monster<<Here
. I want to change the ice nuke to the skill 'Cold Wave Arrest' but i dont know where i can find 'Cold Wave Arrest' in the list of skills in 'skilleffect.txt'. Can someone tell me where i can find the location of it or the name of it? Thanks

Wow it's so easy you noob

j/k

It is easy but only after you have seen it and read it several times, if you are not familiar with it, it's confusing, so i understad people don't get it at first.

Cold Wave Arrest:

SKILL_CH_COLD_BINGPAN_A
SKILL_CH_COLD_BINGPAN_B
SKILL_CH_COLD_BINGPAN_C

As far as i know there are only 2 books of cold wave arrest, but the file has 3 strings, maybe it's like the fourth book of fire nuke... hidden skills ftw hehe

Oh no! It came up with the ??????? error! How can i fix this? My skilleffect.txt file is the same size as the backup i made of it and I put the whole contents in the media.pk2 file correctly... Is the media.pk2 (edited version) ment to be the same size as the origional? or doesn't it matter if theyre different file sizes's?

Edit: wow, post at same time. Yes, it have to be the same byte or you'll get ?????.

Yes the size must be the same...

Good luck in your edits.

Hellzowner · Post by **Hellzowner** » Sun May 27, 2007 5:10 am

no messages from him... ummm.... so are you saying that the media.pk2 is ment to be the same file size as the origional? Thanks for all the help ^^

This sounded like if you had talked to him other than in this post haha, that's why i thought you had pm'd him...

Yes, the media pk2 have to be the same byte (file size) as the original. JM like to make PK2 hard for us, that's why.

Not just JM... almost every game has an "unmodyfiable" file, but, of course, it can be fooled...

SCArchon · Post by **SCArchon** » Sun May 27, 2007 5:25 am

*shrug* and JM is the one who makes us D/C to start the client over and over... :roll:

. JM likes to make everything hard, IMO xD. but true the fact about the unchangable files...

Hellzowner · Post by **Hellzowner** » Sun May 27, 2007 5:36 am

Ok i have just found out.. when i made the modified pk2 (with the skill mod) i checked to see if the size was the same, it was EXACTLY, but it STILL comes up with ???????? error.... A lil help?

SCArchon · Post by **SCArchon** » Sun May 27, 2007 5:39 am

2 o clock a.m.
1st= When you inject your skilleffect.txt, did it end at FF, FE?
2nd=I hope you added nullbytes using 00 00 00 00
3rd=Replace media.pk2 and start from scratch.
4=Replace skilleffect, and media.pk2. and start over

I hope you replced your media.pk2 with backup the first time u got ???? error...

It's no use... the files change constantly, the mod would stop working soon...

Hellzowner · Post by **Hellzowner** » Sun May 27, 2007 6:26 am

just to try anyway?

I guess he could make a guide. Maybe if you looked in skilleffect and changed some of the .efp files that go along with cold wave arrest. It should work - if you take a look at my guide in editing imbues.

Hellzowner · Post by **Hellzowner** » Mon May 28, 2007 3:37 am

so would someone be able to change the Cold Wave Arrest lvl 1 skill to the first lvl Ice nuke just for me to try, because i might have only edited the skilleffect.txt wrong.. so, if you could do that, and if it works, ill try to find what went wrong with my one

Hellzowner · Post by **Hellzowner** » Wed May 30, 2007 4:37 am

can someone please either upload a skilleffect.txt with the ice nuke modified so that when you cast Cold Wave Arrest (First lvl one), it looks like the ice nuke? Thanks, then i can edit my mistakes ive made ^^
