client dont show config.pk/message-e.dat changes in-game

there are nice tuts how to create own npcs, blaa blaa
the only problem i got is that my npc names i added in config.pk/message-e.dat everytime ends in NULL npc names in-game. all other worked fine (quests, ...)

here is the part of my message-e.dat file and i did it how all tuts describes it:

Code:

---


....
(npcname 473 "Cannon Position")
(npcname 474 "Cannon Position")
(npcname 475 "Cannon Position")
(npcname 476 "Mix Stone")
(npcname 477 "Mix Master")
(npcname 520 "Start-Center")
(npcname 530 2nd Job Changer")
(npcname 540 "Hidden Job Changer")

---

my InitNPC.txt got this lines at the end:

Code:

---

im using those "clean" server files from pacd with clean client installation of kal online (KalOnlineSetupEng060523.exe) and changed only the config.pk for the custom names and the e.pk for the quests i added for my npcs.

also, if i try to change names from standart npcs like "Demon Vulgar" to "Demon Vilgartest", in-game his name is still "Demon Vulgar".

i used BakaBugs pk-editor, AyleNs Advanced PK-editor, tried it by hand using Bakabugs DAT tools (all containing in that server-tools package Dopestar gave us to download), this simple config/e.pk editor gumby used in a video tut and tried the cmd version of swordcrypt just to know that not one of this proggis may be bugged or just damaged...but,... same result, same confusion, same anger:49:

do i need to change something in my server/client files that my client read my full config files?

does this start command (also containing in Dopestars Server Tools DL package)

Code:

---

@echo off
start engine.exe /load /config debug
exit /b
echo on

---

through that "/config debug" command override my config.pk datas or whats wrong?

if any1 know how to solve this problem, give a statement, ty

(npcname 530 2nd Job Changer") <- rong you forgot a "
(npcname 530 "2nd Job Changer")
so check iff you forgot more of those
and check iff you yus the right pk paswoord when you added the file back to the config

Edit the LanguageM_en.txt.

what message did you edited?
message-c.dat
message-e.dat
message-k.dat

you must edit message-e.dat xD

O.o since when do you have to edit languageM_en for npc's? thats only for items lol...

btw decryse you cant have 2 config.pk's in the conifg folder, even if its named config554.pk...
only have 1 .pk file in the folder..

and GERmarco..he knows he has to edit message-e.dat...he even showed us he's message-e...

lol? config554.pk??
my config names config.pk

I was referring to the Demon Vulgar. But I guess he has that as a npc too so nevermind.

look...if you have 2 config.pk's in your data>config
then the engine or w\e is going to decrypt everything in there and if one of those two configs dont have what the other one has it will just pick up the old one not the one you changed,

example:i wanna change message-e.dat!! *changes message-e.dat*...*gets on game*
wtfzor my custom names arnt there!?!?... thats cause the engine or w\e picked up the other .pk and not the one you change? get my point...

my friend told me this :]

*edit* the name of the config.pk can be w\e if its a pk and its in config folder its going to get decrypted...i couldn't get mobs to work then friend told me this then i deleted the other pk file and it worked :-P

lol..
did you tested it??
or he has an update server..
