[GUIDE]Other way of changing .dat .ini .int files

[bourbouli8ras]

well everybody knows that with l2fileedit you can do these things but its really pain in the ass to figure out what you have to change in order to make a new weapon or modify an existing one,so ppl with not much experience find it hard.

This guide is going to give onother prospective but i have to admit that the decrypt and encrypt is a bit difficult as a process but after that,you can easily modify and alter things in .dat,ini and int files.

 

lets start:

firstly you must upload this file,has every program you will need.

L2encdec

l2clientdat_en

l2clientdat

http://rapidshare.com/files/121902423/l2clientDat_encdec.zip

 

1.open the l2encdec.exe one time

2.Now we will decrypt the desired file.Lets say for example systemmsg-e.dat

Opem cmd.exe and type: l2encdec.exe -s systemmsg-e.dat

 

 

and u will get this

Now u will have a file named dec-systemmsg-e

 

3.Delete the systemmsg-e.dat and rename the dec-systemmsg-e.dat to systemmsg-e.dat

 

4.Now from the following part there are 2 ways to decode/encode the dat files,one with l2clientdat and other with l2clientdat_en

 

way 1

 

We will do this with L2Clientdat_en or L2Clientdatfull (its the same thing)

 

a) Open the L2ClientDat_en (of the pack folder) and do Decode of systemmsg-e.dat.Now u will get a txt file with name systemmsg-e.

 

 

b) Open the txt and change whatever u want

c) Do your changes and save the txt

 

d) Open again L2ClientDat_en ,choose systemmsg-e and press encode

 

 

way 2

 

On way 2 we will use L2ClientDat.exe.

 

a) With the pack there are 2 folders with names "cn"and "en".There are the txt of some .dat files.Lets say u want to change something in the systemmsg-e.dat.

 

b) Open the txt inside the en folder and change the thing u want in the systemmsg-e.txt and save it

 

c) Open now the L2ClientDat.exe and choose from english the systemmsg-e.dat

 

 

d) Now press restore and u are done

 

THE END

 

Hope i helped enough,as you can see the result is much better than l2fileedit.

As you can see next to each number and all these things that are hard for someone to see what is what,there is an explanation,in fileedit there is only in the top of the file and that makes the thnings hard to modify.
