Many things in here are very outdated including the adding new items into lower versions guide.
Hello People, I realized that recently, many people have been posting the same questions about wz editing:glare: So I decided to make a guide for them.

Each main WZ file and what you can do with them:
Character.Wz
Effect.Wz
Etc.wz

Map.Wz
Mob.Wz
Npc.Wz
Skill.wz

These are the MAIN wz files. These are not all of them. If you would like the know about the rest, tell me.

Common Errors:
Error: "When I import a custom map, I keep getting respawned."
Solution: "Check your Spawn points, Foot Holds, and if your xml in your server directory is correct"
Error:"When i use a custom Map.wz and try to start my game. i get a Error "error code: -2147287038(Unknown error 0x80030002) after the Wizet Screen"
Solution: "Don't replace login.img In Map.wz>Objects unless you're changing the login screen."
Error: "When i import a map from a newer version to a older version and go to the map, i crash.
Solution: "Consider the other factors, such as mobs, tiles, background, etc. and add those in as well.
Wz Editing Restrictions:

Common Questions:
"How do we add new GMS jobs"

Each main WZ file and what you can do with them:

Etc.Wz contains some text/strings and some effects. You can change some text in here. Picture of a Etc.wz File

Mob.Wz
Mob.Wz Contains all the mobs/monsters. You can add mobs inside, Boss monsters are more complicated. Picture of a Mob.wz File
There are more mobs than this. Obviously. But you get the idea.

There are more npcs. Couldn't fit them into that image.

Tutorials(Mine):
Adding Newer Version Items Into Older Versions
1.Open your Newer Version Character.wz Where you want to take the item from.
2.Now go to the item you want to take. I will use 2 hat for this tutorial
3.Select the Item(s) you want to add
4.Go to Tools>Export Selection>XML> Classic
5.Save it Somewhere
6.Open your older version Character.wz, The one you want to add items into.
7.Go to your directory, it would be Character.wz>Cap.Img for me. Select it and go to Tools>Import>XML and select the ones you dumped earlier.
8. Now save your Character.wz file. You're Done 
Notes: This can be used for other Wz files as well such as Item.wz>Install, which is Set up Items/Chairs. You can also Dump the entire "Caps.Img" "Coat.Img" Etc. to save time.

Best way is probably to make the map in a v117- and then export>Import it into the v117+
