    How to edit skills

    I have been searching the forum for a guide or tool or something on how to edit skills.
    What i have found is many ways to change what skills your character has and what level they are at, but i havent found anything on how to change the skill itself.
    For example, i want to edit the damage of charged blast at level 1, so rather than it doing somewhere around 150% damage, it does 300%.
    Does anyine know a guide or a tool that would show me how do do this?
    Thank you.

    You'd need to edit gs (server side) and elementskill.dll... have fun hex editing!

    What program should I use to hex edit these? I can't edit these files using note pad cause it just opens as a mess, and, if I were to try, I would likely corrupt the data.

    Re: How to edit skills

    I have actually had some luck in editing skills, but its very difficult, and i think i might be in over my head. I have noticed that skill information is in the Elements file as well, in list 71 for sELedit. What i don't understand is, what information is here. I know that the first 70 or so IDs are emotions and actions, and starting around id 87, you get to your General Attack. Id 94 is Tiger strike, I just can’t match any of the data to anything about the skill.
    Its just weird.

    Does anyone know what information is in this list?

    It's agression given by those particular skills, if you notice in PWI assassin and psychics have very low numbers there because they do crazy damage. Barbs have some skills with it being higher up to gain agro quicker.

    Re: How to edit skills

    Your list 71 is my list 69. In my list 71 you have all the skills, including emotions and actions. Even though they are in Chinese, I still can read them, and they are obviously the skills. My problem is matching the hex data to anything about the skill. There doesn't seem to be damage or cool down or mp cost or anything. I want to know what the values are for.

    List 69 (your list 71) was really helpful at making the game harder. I changed the values to make casters weaker, by causing them to get less hp per level up and more per constitution point. The melee classes got twice as much hp per level and point. This was great for balance, instead of changing every monster’s damage.

    The reason why the fields for critical rate and movement speed are so weird is probably because they are percents. I found this out when I was changing properties that involved percents. It’s probably best to leave these values alone, unless you understand them (I don't).

    But back to my list 71, (Probably your list 74 or what ever list has 772 Ids in it) I want to figure out what the hex values for each skill are tied to. Could some one help me with that?

    Thanks

    It has nothing to do with skills stats. But you are right it has something to do with emotions and actions.

    Btw the field "Hide Weapon" can be used to show or hide the weapon when you char does an emotion

    The rest I don't know but i'm sure it has nothing to do with skills stats.

    It’s not just emotions, I can read all the action names, and all the skills are here. You sure none of the data has anything to do with the skills.
    At least I can make plume quill hide my weapon, cus it looks dumb as heck with most weapons.

    It's just Player Action Infos ... So yes you can hide your weapon for certain skills but that's all you can do with that list.

    It's only a texture, so I'm pretty sure it's only a .DDS

    That's actually a neat idea, a magic bow suits clerics rather well

    Re: How to edit skills

    list 73 is for generating the unique combine act names from characters ecm file...

    • the list contains the action, i.e. walk
    • the fields contains the act name + some prefixes for different weapons
    • the combine act name is somewhow composed from the act name and the weapon
    • you may get different combine act names to use from the ecm file for different weapons (which make sense, because hit with bow must be different animated then hit with sword, so they need to be linked to different combine acts in the ecm)
    • for further investigation use sACTedit...

    Re: How to edit skills

    Ronny? Why my list73 looks different than your?



    =/=



    That's odd

    EDIT: Nvm I found why... You have strings instead of bytes...
