ItemCombinationData Decode/Encode utility

Hi guys,

the other day I was looking for some way to solve the "cler" glitch and ended up messing with ItemCombinationData.

After looking around in forum using google & site:forum.ragezone.com/f98/ I ended up with no tool to help do the job.

Well here is the first beta for you to try.

What the tool does:

a) Decode the binary stuff to CSV file

Code:

---

itcombi.exe -D ItemCombinationData data.txt

---

b) After changing what you want you can encode it back to binary.
ATTENTION: There is no error checking of any kind!!!!

If you enter wrong item codes, wrong % rates, etc. the utility cannot verify them.

Code:

---

itcombi.exe -E data.txt ItemCombinationData

---

ATTENTION: ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL FILE !!!!!

Let me know if this works!

I suppose that "no replies" means that the stupid thing is not working?

Haven't run my server from long time but now i think i will have to.. will check your utilities and let you know if they work or not and any improvement that can be done.

Thanks, also if you have any information on the various binary files, monsters, items, etc. pls pm me.

I need this info in order to make everything "editable" from my A3CharEdit utility.
