Help Problem with FileEditor / dat-files (H5)

[Avanael]

Hello,

 

I've stumbled on a really weird problem with editing files which I never had and after several tries, I don't know where to look anymore. Maybe someone hopefully had this problem before and can help me out?

 

First I want to say, that I've a working itemname-e.dat from my old server and wanted to copy some of those custom items to a new itemname-e.dat in order to assign them specific ID ranges (like 30000 - 30500 for armors and so on). To my surprise, l2.exe crashes when I want to start it. There's nothing different between the old file and the new one, just different IDs, how could it even crash?

 

So I tried to detect the problem by adding those customs step by step because I thought maybe some line could cause the problem but that's even pointless for the fact, that I didn't change anything outside the IDs. Oddly enough, l2.exe crashes when itemname-e.dat somehow exceeds the number of letters. Now let me say this: The old file has way more(!) lines than my new one and it's working like a charm.

 

Am I missing something or is the client literally trolling me?

Sorry for doublepost, but I fixed it.

 

In case someone tries to change several IDs within itemname-e.dat, don't forget etcitemgrp.dat which needs to be adapted to these IDs too. I thought this file wouldn't matter in the first place so I could change it at a later time, guess I was wrong.

 

Can be closed, thanks for reading anyway :)
