So i'm making a private server and i successfully get it to run, I attempt adding custom items like every tutorial out there says but when i rebuild the server and try running it, it just crashes and won't let me run either Server or WServer. I'm using Club559's source and i've attempted doing this a couple of 10 times or so and nothing works, any help please?
Just follow exactly what a tutorial for your specific source says, if you do everything correctly it will work.
You probably put it in item.xml. You put it in additition.xml
If you're still having trouble paste your code on here. Theres a lot you could be doing wrong. You need to check the id of the item and make sure it's not the same as any other item. You also need to make sure it's loading the correct texture from the correct file. If it's a weapon you need to make sure that the projectile it's using is a valid projectile and that it's correctly defined. The best way to debug is to copy and paste another item already created and change variables one at a time. For instance;
1. Copy an item already pre-existing.
2. Paste it at the bottom of addition.xml
3. Edit the id of the item to something unique that no other item uses.
4. Change the name of the item to whatever you want.
5. Save the page, and rebuild your server.
6. Launch the server and run server as administrator.
Continue steps 1-6 changing one variable at a time until the item is fully in the game as you want it to be. If when you reload the server after changing one variable and it doesn't work thats your problem. If you do those steps you should be fine and the item should work. Projectiles are defined in either Dat 30, Dat 32, or Dat 28, I forget which. Just make sure you copy and paste the name of the projectile where it is needed, I'm not sure if caps matter but you may want to make sure they match to be safe.
