WZ Why is it invisible?

[anlam]

So I followed the tutorial on how to add in new items since I have access to the source files..

Ill show what i did.

1. Opened up v140 Character Wz.
2. Dump/Export the item I want to my desktop
3. Open up v117 character.wz
4. Import the XML then save.
5. Placed the xml in source --> wz --> character.wz --> weapon
6. Dump items then launched

Its still invisible, what have I done wrong?

Wz editting does not always work. Do it all over again for a chance for it to work correctly. Happened to me all the time.

I believe you would have to export it as an IMG file, not as a XML file.

Edit : XML is just the base of the actual item (the stats, the level, job required, origin etc...)
The IMG file contains the actual image of the item also including everything in the XML files.

Also keep in mind, depending on what item your exporting, there can be other things you'll need to add. If you were attempting to add an item that comes with a set effect, it will be "invisible" in game, until you include the set effects file along with the item.
