Check if there isn't another Mysterious Robed Girl in character.txt.txt
Also, I recomend you to start the ResEditor as admin... so check if there's another MR Girl and try to replace the character.txt.txt in the datasub1.res again.

Run the ResEditor as Admin, extract the character.txt.txt to your desktop and check if it is updated (with the new NPC names). I had problems with a ResEditor not saving the files properly.

EDIT:
Got it. Check your character.txt.txt again, you are editing it wrong. Delete the following:
IDS_CHARACTER_INC_000666 char_axel.tga
IDS_CHARACTER_INC_000667 Axel
IDS_CHARACTER_INC_000668 char_Kariri.tga
IDS_CHARACTER_INC_000669 Kariri

and replace with:

IDS_CHARACTER_INC_000666 char_RedRobeman.tga
IDS_CHARACTER_INC_000667 Axel
IDS_CHARACTER_INC_000668 char_RedRobegirl.tga
IDS_CHARACTER_INC_000669 Kariri

Then save it and replace the character.txt.txt in the datasub1.res again.

Don't touch the .tga lines unless you are going to edit the NPC files name which is pointless and you have no reason to do so. Edit only the NPC NAMES, leave the .tga as it is!

why i don't have any cpp files? like NeuzMsgProc on my Blessed flyff source?

 

[chicorafael]

Why are you talking about cpp files? They're supposed to belong to the source folder... you don't have to edit any cpp file in order to change the NPCs names. Just do what I told you to do and it will work fine.

Unless you know C++, don't put your hands on cpp files.

 

[EJ Peralta]

i don't have in my source files then and about changing the NPC name is not working which you've said

 

[chicorafael]

Attach a picture of your new character.txt.txt so I can take a look on it.

If you don't have cpp files in your source, it's not complete.

 

[EJ Peralta]

thankyou and don't worry im going to change my source files

 

[chicorafael]

Just in case, why are you so concerned about your source files? Again, the Soure files have nothing to do with NPC names at all.

If you want to edit your NPC name, you just have to edit your Resource files and .res files in your client. If you want to put your hands in the Source, you better know C++ coding and you're probably looking to edit an in game system... do you at least know how to compile the source?

 

[EJ Peralta]

anyway is that alright if i change my source files and leave behind the program files, and client files or do i have to download a new one?

 

[chicorafael]

Ok here's the thing...
The Source is the heart of your server, it is composed of many files with C++ codes that makes your server run when compiled. When you compile the source (a.k.a. put all that files together and make .exe files) you get, as output, the accountserver.exe/databaseserver.exe/loginserver.exe/cacheserver.exe and so on. You will edit the source if you know C++ and you want to fix/add stuff in game, like for example, Transmutation System, Colosseum, Consignment Shop and etc.. but you will only succeed if you know C++.

The Resource is where you're going to edit most of things in game, like items, npcs, monsters, drop/exp rates, upgrading chances. To edit those, you don't have to touch your source.

You don't need the Source folder to make your server work, if you have accountserver.exe/databaseserver.exe/loginserver.exe/cacheserver.exe/etc already.

You can even delete the Source folder if you don't know how to code in C++.

If you are really going to make changes in the Source folder, I recomend you to download another server.
