HeroesContents.db3 not editing...

[Fabio Maroso]

I've been changing stuff in heroesContents.db3 like drop probability for items, item quality multiplyer and other stuff.. yet the changes does not work at all..

Yes im editing the HeroesContents.db3 located in my "C:\xampp\htdocs\zh-tw-x-gm\Bin"

i've also tried editing the one in the MabinogiHeroes Folder even if it is not used by the server..

Any idea on how to get it working?

Edit: somethings does actually work some others does not..Like the droprate and the quality Multiplyer.. but like the VIP Core Extra does work. so im aiming at the right HeroesContent.db3 but it seems something just can't be modified, or atleast it can but it wont apply.

Some changes require the server to be rebooted. Stop your heroes tool services and restart the RCClient and RCServer services in either task manager or services.msc. I had this same occurrence, before learning you had to reboot services for some changes to take effect.

drop rate works well,I think you edit in wrong way.

You dont need to restart RCClient and RCServer, just stop all services in heroes op tool and start again.

you should not have "zh-tw-x-gm/bin" folder in your web server thats only for endpoint.txt and cashshop server. game server doesnt use that folder thats why it is not working. Read the setup guide again. I guess its all working since you have tested changing it, you just didnt understand how it works. but your real heroecontents.db3 should be in a folder like c:\development\vindictus\server\zh-tw-x-gm\bin(dont take this path as good one its just indicative, just find yours)and edit this one.
that's why you can't see any changes you do.

I did everything in the forums but I can't change anything in this file. I'm editing C:\MabinogiHeroes\server\zh-tw-x-gm\Bin\HeroesContents.db3 but when I open the server no changes are made.

Tried:

- Sell price of hero belt lvl10 to 9999999
- Armorsmithing can craft everything with 0 cost
- All characters can wear all equipment (this one is also in a tutorial, however doesn't work)

Any help? its the only .db3 in my entire computer aside of LocalizedText.db3

try uninstalling the service using these bat. just create new .txt file in your "server" folder (c:\MabinogiHeroes\server\) and rename it to uninstall.bat then copy this:
UninstallService.bat

@echo off
cd /d c:\MabinogiHeroes\server
cd RCClient
sc delete RCClient c:\MabinogiHeroes\server\rcclient\RCClientService.exe
RCClientService.exe -uninstall

cd ..
cd RCServer
sc delete RCServer c:\MabinogiHeroes\server\rcserver\RCServerService.exe
RCServerService.exe -uninstall
NET STOP "Remote Control Client Service"
NET STOP "Remote Control Server Service"

InstallService.bat

@echo off
cd /d c:\MabinogiHeroes\server
cd RCClient
RCClientService.exe -install
cd ..
cd RCServer
RCServerService.exe -install
NET START "Remote Control Client Service"
NET START "Remote Control Server Service"

run UninstallService.bat and InstallService.bat then check again if your changes to db are working
and when you open HeroeOPTool.exe select all services and hit update, not sure if this realy do anything but works ok for me... hope this help you.

Thanks but the problem fixed by itself after using EU db. Now for some odd reason the client doesn't update correctly in the displays, for example the lvl 90 belt gives 10kk gold when sold, but it's displayed as 0 gold, I'm missing some step to update the db in client I guess.

Even if you change the db for the server and heroes.db3 in the client, it won't affect how things are displayed in the UI. For example, you can change ShopInfo so that Ferghus sells you white dye ampoules instead of metal solvents, but it'll still show metal solvents in his shop. Trying to buy them will just send a dye ampoule to your inventory instead. Additionally, even if you change ingredients required for expertise crafting you'll still need the original ingredients to attempt to craft it. It will simply remove the new ingredients from your inventory instead.

I'm not sure what you have to change to update the UI, but I'd like to know.
