[HELP] Adding custom buff pickup pets to the server [V16+]

[RodZ]

Hey guys.

I've searched a lot and I still have got a very relevant doubt.

How can I add a custom (buff) pickup pet to my server? Like a baby Clockworks that we've seen in many servers?

I already got full models (O3Ds/DDSs). I question this because even thou I did a lot of research, I can't figure out if that would be like adding a regular item to the server (which I think that the answer is no, to me pickup pets seem to be way more complex than regular itens, such as a shield, for instance).

So, what is the step by step to add a custom buff pickup pet to the server?


Obs: I know that my request may involve Spec_item.txt, propItem.txt.txt, defineItem.h, mdlDyna.inc, defineObj.h, propMover.txt and propMover.txt.txt. I took this information from an uncertain tutorial (which gave me no answers at all but the files list tbrh), because I can't see the connections among these 7 files, like, for instance, refering the O3D models to the pets. In short: I am very lost and unsure on how to add a new (buff) pickup pet to my server / is a buff pickup pet a monster that I turn into an item?

Could you guys please help me?

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance. :laugh:

Edit:
Obs: I'm using Ketchup's VS19/v18 files.
Obs2: I did a long research job on this, but I can't find any tutorials on how to add new monsters to the game using my own 3d models. I found some little incomplete info, but I just CAN NOT understand the mechanics on where the Model files link to the coding. No clue at all.

Use an existing buff pickup pets and copy it.. The files you mention that has to be edited are correct.
Edit the ItemID and MonsterID, o3d files loads in mdldyna.. the animations script is written (Don't have the resource on this computer so can't really show.)

the models are "bound to coding" in the mdlDyna.inc.

Thanks for the info, kloklojul.

However, I still can't make it work. Imma do a detailed post below.



I'mma do a very detailed post, so you guys can see every step that I'm doing.

First, these are the model files that I'm using and how they are named.

Obs: I copy them and paste on Resource/Client Model folders, the inventory icon on Item folder, the Texture on Client Model folder. These Texture Low and TextureMid folders that are shown in the image below, I don't know what to do and I simply just let them there.

Now, to the coding:

IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_025928 A golden legendary unicorn that follow it's owner and pick up the dropped itens from the floor.

And still, I can't create the pet using /ci or visualize it ingame.

Help plz! :

 

[Xakzi]

Everything do look correct, do you get any error logs when trying to use /ci "Legendary Mythich Unicorn" ?

 

[n0tso1ee7]

did you simply take the spec_item data for the pet from somewhere else or is it of your own making perhaps you Version ID scanner is lower than 22?

just a random though?
perhaps give this a try

Nope, the item just isn't created when I try to create it with /ci.

I wonder if it's something to do with mdlDyna, cause with the code I posted I created the "monster model", but did not create the item related to it, and I figured out that pets have two types of coding on the same mdlDyna file. Is that right?

I changed to 22 to differ the original file itens from my custom added itens. Tried changing to 15, didn't work thou mate.


I tried changing the model from an already existing pet, as the Supervisor Kim for instance (that nerdy lil guy hehe) and it worked. Now I know how to change the model of an already existing pet succesfully, but I don't know why I can't create mine copying the data from other ones >.<.

And trust me, I've been studying and testing the files for days. I can't find out where the error is.

Ah..

Did you add

"GenMatSuitbox"      II_PET_UNICORNY        MODELTYPE_MESH "" 0  MD_NEAR 0  1.0f 0 1 ATEX_NONE 1

in mdldyna?
