If you +come across any errors or would like to leave comments and/or +suggestions about this program, please feel free to notify the +author of this program at spamrat42@gmail.com. + +Please make sure to create a backup of your current database +files and your data folder prior to using this program. + +============================================================== + +This package contains the following files... + +ADE.ini +Athena Database Editor.exe +history.txt +ID Helper.txt +readme.txt + +sample data (empty folder) + +sample db (folder) + card_labels.txt + item_descriptions.txt + +sample mobs (empty folder) + +============================================================== += NOTE: All packages from 1.4.1 and newer will not include the += files from the latest eAthena server distribution. So += make sure to copy your current files from your server += into the appropriate folders listed above, or set the += correct paths in the ADE.ini file. +============================================================== + +Thank you for downloading this tool I wrote for the eAthena +817 Text based server, but it should work even with the more +recent versions like eAthena 1.0 RC5. I hope you find this +tool to be useful. + +The files in the db folder that come with this program are +custom files that are to be used with ADE. To change the +directory that this program looks in when opening or saving +files, open the ADE.ini file and enter the full or relative +path. The ADE.ini when first installed will already be +pointing to the relative folders listed above. You can also +simply copy your current db files to those folders, allowing +you to edit them without editing the db files you're +currently using. + +All entries that have been commented out will not be read, +and won't be carried over into the new DB files. So please +make sure to back them up before using this program for the +first time. I will eventually add support for handling +commented lines in future versions. + +One of the main features of this program will let you create +updated files for the client's data folder as well as update +the other relative db files for the server. When using this +feature, the following files will be created... + +DB Folder - Server Files +================================ +class_equip_db.txt +item_value_db.txt + +Data Folder - Client Files +================================ +cardpostfixnametable.txt +cardprefixnametable.txt +idnum2itemdesctable.txt +idnum2itemdisplaynametable.txt +itemslotcounttable.txt +num2itemdesctable.txt +num2itemdisplaynametable.txt + +Note: There is a checkbox that will say to click it if the + descriptions are garbled. Please only check after + trying the default description files it produces. + +If there are any files you think that were left out +that should have been updated as well for the client's +data folder, please let me know at the email address +provided above. + +The item_descriptions.txt file is where all of the +descriptions are stored. Please note if you're manually +changing something in it, that you should the » character +for a new line. (Use ALT + 175 to type it.) It should +currently have the majority of the basic descriptions. +You won't need to add how much defense or the attack +power of equipment, as it will automatically be added +when the files are created. (It gets the values directly +from the item db files.) + +The card_labels.txt file is where all the card labels are +stored. If you already have a custom set of card labels, +just copy the cardprefixnametable.txt file from your data +folder into the db folder and rename it to card_labels.txt. +Any missing labels will or blank labels will result in the +default label of "Carded" as a prefix. + +I will eventually try to update this program to try +including other db files as well as to help make sure +it works with all versions of the eAthena text based +server from 817 to the current version. I'll also try +to add more support for other files that are also needed +to be generated for the client's data folder. + +============================================================== += NOTE 2: The item_descriptions.txt file that comes with this += package has incorrect and blank entries. Please make += sure to go over all the descriptions if you plan on += using it to generate description files for your += server's data folder. +============================================================== -- cgit v1.2.3-60-g2f50
