Tibia: Data File Structure

[Casky]

Hey Jo3, I just back to work in the .dat reader that I was having problems and it still, I can't find the error.

I tried to use your code too and it still not working, it crashs saying index out of range, probably because its reading wrong somewhere in the code, but I revised it using the flash client and I trully can't find the error.

Can you help me please? Am I too blind to see that? Hahaha

Here's my code in C# and it works on the most recent client (10.72): http://pastebin.com/YgL99fwg

That's exactly how mine is, I just tried to run it again and it worked, something is wrong in my spr reader I guess, already fixed all changes but still getting error, gonna try to find out.

Thank you!

Your spr reader code looks fine. However, I don't recommend getting, and creating, a bitmap for every single sprite for every single object. I would create and destroy sprites/bitmaps as needed. Your current approach is taking up too much memory. It will cause memory issues, and possible crashes.

Yeah, I just fixed it and you are right, it was taking a lot to read all sprites, so Im just storing the SpriteIds.

Thank you again!

Have they added a flag "useable" = 254?
And multiuse is no longer that common?

cuz this seems to work, but I am not sure if its correct

Scanning over your code, it looks correct: http://tpforums.org/forum/threads/50...ll=1#post54669

Hey Jo3, I was looking around the forum about an outfit changer, are the outfits ID's hardcoded in all those programs? Or there is a way to "link" a monster/outfit name to an ID?

Like:
Citizen - ID XXX
Quara Scout - ID YYY
Etc

Creature names are not stored anywhere in the client or data files. They are stored on the server, and sent to the client as needed. However, I believe, The Forgotten Server has all new creature, outfit, and mount IDs. So you can get them from there. Otherwise, you will have to do it on your own.

Ok then, thank you, as I suspected, it was hardcoded, no problem, thank you!
