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.
010 editor, google it
Oh and just thought I would point out noone has managed it before...

afaik the only think that can be edited is a cooldown of the skill in xml char sheet, although i haven't try it (useless)
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?
My list71:

Weird isn't it? :mellow:
Anyone know what the aggro in col 24 on roms ss does?
Might be useful to put barbs higher or something...

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 :P:
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. :mellow:
Forget hiding my Weapon for Plume Quill. I will just make a magic bow!
Thats pretty cool!
How did you manage it? o.O

this is only texture edit so u could have more fun than u think ;)
kristkos, how are you editing the colour? are you using a specific program?
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 wellQuote:

- 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...
.gfx can be opened with notepad if u want text
and u can edit texture with .dds plugins for Photoshop or Gimp
Ohhh coolQuote:

That's odd :mellow:
EDIT: Nvm I found why... You have strings instead of bytes... :blink:
Where abouts in the gfx.pck are the DDS for the skills? I have looked and looked and can't find the blimin folder path that they are in, probably doesn't help that my compter doesnt read chinese and I have to rename every single folder and file..
But yeah is there like a main folder with all the skills in it with the DDS of the skills?
use search function in gfx.pck.fles and look for a folder named textures :DQuote:

I can't get language packs on my computer from what I can tell, I am running Windows 7 Home Premium and according to the Microsoft website and the control panel you need Ultimate :S
Alright so after doing some research I discovered every skill in eldata points to a .ecm and from there you can find the gfx file.
So I looked for Plume Shot, found the ecm and then the .gfx of it.
Spoiler:
What I don't understand is the DDS that it points to, 粒子\xing3.dds

What the hell that has to do with plume shot I'm not sure, but kristkos, what exactally did you have to edit to get plume shot to be different colours? A DDS somewhere that I have overlooked or the .gfx file I posted above? Was it something to do with this:
CheersCode:Color: -1

If you are using Vista or 7 you don't need it, the language pack thing only applies to XP. Vista and 7 already have Asian character support w/o having to do anything special (Vista and 7 use UTF-16 as default encoding instead of ASCII like XP did)Quote:

Textures\粒子\xing3.dds if u look on the ground when the skill is activated some sparks start to appear(1 sec or so) actually on every skill this happens
So there is no actual dds for the plumeshot, only for the sparkles? It is the .gfx and .ecm that make all the pretty skill pictures?
Sorry if I am a little noob at this haha, I appreciate your help :P

the ecm should have multiple gfx or the gfx should have multiple texture look into it
Any developments on editing skills at all?
I didn't even have the desire until now, but it would be great to know even merely how to edit their cooldown timers...
I doubt that skills have fixed cooldown time in GS, if u give 59 culti skill to a mob, it will spam it...Quote:

I didn't even know you could do that... Giving a boss bids seems quite interesting now that I think about it...Quote:

hmm, that would certainly be a good starting point... although would become quite tedious to have to do it that way for an entire server... I wonder where it would be (stored, that it could be) edited. So that every character that learns that skill will now have ex. a 30 second cooldown instead of 15 or visa versa... There are a few skills I would like to edit at least in that respect...Quote:

What i am wondering is, can i make a skill useable with any weapon. If list 73 has all the animations for each weapon that the skill uses, can i just add the other weapons in to make it usable with any weapon?
All i did for the plumequill with a bow was i made a mold bow that is actually a magic sword.
anong file open dyan haQuote:
