Item Visibility question

[ionhsmith]

So i have run across a couple helmets so far in the game such as ... Great Helm of True Vision and Malevolent Helmet of Suffering and they do not show up visibility wise on the character when I put them on ... I get the stats but no visuals ... I am running UF client ... any ideas what could fix this ?

The model for the helmet needs to be updated in the database.

[ionhsmith]

ok how would I got about doing that ?

You're looking for the material column.



If you have a database editor like HeidiSQL or Navicat it's pretty simple. If not a simple SQL query like this:

UPDATE items SET material = 'XX' WHERE id = 'YY';

XX is the material value and YY is the item id

Materials primarily range from 0-24, but there are a few that fall higher than that, like custom helm graphics (Custom Cowl of Mortality) and some kunark helms. There's no complete list that I know of.

I use Heidi ... so how would I know what graphic its suppose to be? if there isnt a list i guess I can just pick one to see if it works ?

[chrsschb]

The simplest way is to copy the material of a helmet that works and has the graphic you're looking for. For custom helms you'll need to find it. There's a little data on these forums but it's old so I dunno how relevant it is at this point.

The basics are:

0: cloth
1: leather
2: chain
3: plate
4: monk
10-16: robes
17-23: is velious, but I don't know if these work for the helmet graphics

240: custom velious helm
