WZ Import v17x hair to v83, only 40000+ doesn't work

[ainideren]

Hi guys, i tired to import the latest hair into v83. all of them works expect hair id 40000 above + it gives me blade hair. anyone knows why?

blade hair or bald hair? lol. ID's > 40000 aren't valid hairs in the v83 client, you'll have to modify the cap.

Hmm I was thinking it might that problem too. Tired to change the id to < 40000 and it worked. Any idea where can I start with if I need to change the cap in the 83 client?
If not I have this idea where to rename all 4000 above to unused id below 4000 D:

Also, I'm using sorlax as source. I found out that multiply effect didn't come out after I equip 3 penguins or dragons. I checked the forum about this, read and understand it it might be the effect from wz file. Can I ask where is the effect handled in the server side? Because of limited post regarding it, I can't seems to understand about the pet effect.

Uhh you'd need to look around the client. I think I found it in v62 a year or two ago, but I forgot where it was.

As for the pet effect, all pet effects are a Set Effect and you need to add it into Effect.wz/SetEff.img. If you have 3 valid pets for the effect, it will display.

Hmmm. Thanks! Can you further explain how did you find it? I'm a guy which is more interested in the process

Since a few people asked, I've decided to release the client fix here: http://forum.ragezone.com/f921/v62-v83-wz-edits-hair-1125064/

So I've got 40k+ hairs to work which is immensely helpful, however when changing hair colors I instantly crash.




Any thoughts on why this might happen and whether or not this can be fixed?

If you can view hairs 40k+ in the NPC, then the client can register them just fine because Hair and Hair "Color" are sending the same OnAskAvatar packet, just two different HairID array arguments. I think your issue then is actually related to your NPC Script and the way it calculates a list of hair colors based off of your current hair. You can always confirm this by calling a sendStyle with a list of hairs and include the hair color ID's not just the base hair. If it doesn't crash you, then it's definitely the way it calculates the list of hair colors

Yes, you can import nearly anything from higher versions. However, the higher the version you go, the more changes/fixes you'll need to apply in order for things to work. Pets in order to work only need their item added (within Item.wz/Pet), their name/desc added (within String.wz/Pet), and their actions/responses added (within String.wz/PetDialog). For a Pet that uses special effects (or when combined with other pets), you can add the necessary effects into Effect.wz/SetEff and Effect.wz/PetEff.

I however haven't touched up-to-date wz files in quite some time, so I couldn't tell you what all you'd need to change besides the possibility of source/inlink properties. If I remember correctly, they had also modified the way effects had rendered in Effect.wz to use body actions, but i'm not 100% sure. If so, you'll usually just want to use the 'default' or 'stand' nodes.

Feel free to look at old WZ Editing tutorials if you're new and a little confused. While the tutorials available may be old and outdated, the idea of how it all works and the process behind it hasn't really changed.
