How does client tell betwen 1h and 2h weapons?

God i hope this is right forum for such questions, since nothing realy fits the category directly.

anyway, how does client/server EXACTLY knows what type of weapon you using?

First i thought this was assigned skill based.
For exmaple:

2handed sword uses 2HS skill. even if you assing Secondary slot to the item you still need both hands free to hold it.
So this is simple.

HOWEVER, when it come to Piercing... there is no such thing as 2HP!
And as we know those spears and daggers come both as 1h and 2h, and they both have same skill assigned to them... so how does it work so client/server KNOWS that this specific spear is 2handed?

thanks =)

Possibly by itemtype. Itemtype 2 = piercing. You can use this list to make your own items.

Here's a list.

Code:

0 = 1HS

1 = 2HS

2 = piercing

3 = 1HB

4 = 2HB

5 = Archery

6 = Unused

7 = Throwing

8 = Unused

9 = Unused

10 = Defence (Armor)

11 = Involves Tradeskills (Not sure how)

12 = Lock Picking

13 = Unused

14 = Food (Right Click to use)

15 = Drink (Right Click to use)

16 = Unused

17 = Common Inventory Item

18 = Bind Wound

19 = Thrown Casting Items (Explosive potions etc)

20 = Spells / Song Sheets

21 = Potions

22 = Unused

23 = Wind Instruments

24 = Stringed Instruments

25 = Brass Instruments

26 = Drum Instruments

27 = Ammo (In most cases, Arrows)

28 = Unused

29 = Jewlery Items (As far as I can tell)

30 = Unused

31 = Unused

32 = Ussally Readable Books and Scrolls

33 = Keys

34 = Odd Items (Not sure what they are for)

35 = 2H Pierce

36 = Fishing Poles

37 = Fishing Bait

38 = Alcoholic Beverages

39 = More Keys

40 = Compasses

41 = Unused

42 = Poisens

43 = Unused

44 = Unused

45 = H2H (Hand to Hand)

46 = Unused

47 = Unused

48 = Unused

49 = Unused

50 = Unused

51 = Unused

52 = Charms

53 = Dyes

54 = Augments

55 = Augment Solvents

56 = Augment Distillers

And also, I'm almost 100% positive it's matching up the itemtype from the database with the client. That's why when we used to source in the 13th Floor database, we'd usually have to wait for them to fix the SQL file on some items before we could use it. Client says okay, but server says no - basically.

I don't remember which file it was, so I can't say. I recall there was a discussion about it a long time ago.

I find all of my info on the wikki, btw.

Thank you for answering

I think I got it

The 2handed spears use ItemType 35
I just haven't seen it before, cuase there is no such skill as 2 handed piercing and I guess its hardcoded that 1hp and 2hp both use the same skill

I was hoping I could get rid of 2hs and 2hb the same way, and split weapon skills difirently, like all Swords, all Axes etc.
