This pertains to the rankup quest for the Prs. The first part, getting the vamps etc works just fine, the 2nd phase where you get the level 37 Skull Staff "Ghost" has a glitch. The player is given the weapon but it disappears immediately. I prefer to fix these problems rather than use the tools to bypass the actual quest. I just need a little push in the right direction, where do I start the investigative process?
"Ghost" is supposed to disappear 7 days after the quest is complete... but I've worked on a server where it never disappears, and getting rid of the thing is a pain in the backside.
yes its supposed to vanish, however the player never gets the chance to use it
He means that the model image is missing..it's happening to me 2..
@bobsobol why arent you connect to IRC? I need you!!! :)
Upadated information:
ATA, AS Mech finished the lvl 40 rankup quests with no issues
I know the prs cannot do it so I will assume that the Mgae will have the same problem.
The 2nd part of the quest in which 50 Bargons must be killed
the Skill Master gives you the "Ghost" weapon to get started
this is where it goes wrong. You never get the weapon in your inventory so use.
How do you check for a weapon of this type? Pritator shows it as
2_WM109 it the item list and a 2 in the quest box.
WM109 is shown in the server exe and game one also, my first thought is that the image has a lot to do with why this issue is happening.
On the client I look in the image/Sinomage/items/
and the server also in the same directory structure?
The only thing I can read in there is the names the files themselves not so.
I would like to fix this with guidance
I usually use Windows Full Text Search on the term "Ghost" to find files using that term.
If the only thing I find is the .zhoon, then I can full text search for that Zhoon file, because it will be quoted in the item file.
My full window search turned up over 300+ references, ill have to try and narrow it down.
There is a "Ghost" a "Big Ghost" and so on in monsters... But if you are only searching the "OpenItem" folder, they shouldn't show. IDK where you get over 300 references to the word "Ghost" in the OpenItem folder.
I get 1 "2_WM109.txt"
Which tells you the same as Pritator. WM109 is the items inventory code, so it looks just like a "Skull Staff"? Which is the "WM109" in the executables, and what a true "WM109.txt" file says.Code:// 아이템 정보 // *이름 "고스트" *Name "Ghost" *코드 "WM109" *유니크 2 *이펙트설정 1 /////////////// 공통사항 //////////// *내구력 100 100 *무게 7 *가격 30000 /////////////// 원소 ///////////// *생체 *불 *냉기 *번개 *독 /////////////// 공격성능 ///////////// // 추가요인 최소 최대 *공격력 16 16 22 22 *사정거리 175 *공격속도 8 *명중력 100 100 //*크리티컬 4 ////////////// 방어성능 ///////////// // 추가요인 [/COLOR] *흡수력 *방어력 *블럭율 4 4 ////////////// 신발성능 ///////////// // 추가요인 *이동속도 ////////////// 저장공간 ///////////// // 소켓공간할당 *보유공간 ////////////// 특수능력 ///////////// // 추가요인 *생명력재생 *기력재생 1.5 1.5 *근력재생 *생명력추가 *기력추가 *근력추가 *마법기술숙련도 15 19 ////////////// 요구특성 ///////////// // 사용제한 요구치 *레벨 40 *힘 *정신력 *재능 *민첩성 *건강 ///////////// 회복약 //////////// // 추가요인 최소 최대 *생명력상승 *기력상승 *근력상승 ////////////// 캐릭터특성 ///////////// // 캐릭터별 특화성능 //**특화랜덤 Priestess Magician // Prayer Shaman //**마법숙련도 4 6 //**기력재생 1.0 1.399 //**공격속도 1 *연결파일 "name\2_WM109.zhoon"
So, if your "Skull Staff" is not missing any images, then it's nothing to do with skins or inventory icons.
More likely there is a timeout parameter which is wrong in the 2_WM109.txt. Look at the other quest weapon files, and translate the commands in the file above... I think you will find it. ^_^

Thanks I will give that a try.
Btw how do you get your files to display a clear language?
all I get is scrambled eggs. I think you touch upon this subject some threads ago.
Nvm I got it figured out...

I did... I now have a guide >here<.
The "syntax highlighting" was added manually for the post, using the default colouring that Notepad2 uses for INI files, though it doesn't recognise PT Server files. There is some syntax highlighting in MadEdit, but it doesn't really recognise the files.

I used MS word to clear up the garbled txt. it automaticaly displayed it in Korean, MS word also contain a translator its a lot better that using notepad. Back to the battle at hand
I spent quite a few hours trying to determine what is wrong with this particular Rankup Quest which affects the Mage and Prs.
What I know so far:
On the server exe the WM109 code is there as well as on the client. I can also search by the name and it shows up.
The Zhoon files are correct, Item also has entries in the Dropitem folder and the Weapons one as well in the clients Sinimage path.
Wjile in game I tried to drop just the Skull Staff and all I got was an acknowledgement in the chat window but no Staff.
Next I did an @put of the staff this time I got different results
A messgae that said item was not prepared (same as no Image I believe)
and in my inventory up in the left hand corner but outside of where I can click was a
no image thing that I could not touch at all.
Most of the no images I was able to handle, this one is difficult.

I finaly was able to get this rankup quest to work..it took a lot of changing the item codes on both the server and client to relect what their default item codes Pritator came in handy for that task. I dont understand the reasoning that went behind the item code swap outs, it was totaly wrong imho to do that, made for a big mess to cleanup. Bottom line is that the prs and mage can do their quest using the "Ghost" weapon.
Like the recent Spcute server files, I think many server repacks have deliberate sabotage in them so devs can see when their files are just stolen by others who don't understand them... I also think that some "customisations" are not compatible with others, and many repacks include multiple "customisations"... not all of which should actually be implemented together.
Glad to hear you got it sorted.
