Hi everyone,
I’m trying to generate a client-side item_proto (binary) starting from an item_proto.txt exported from the database for a Metin2 client.
My goal is simple:
convert item_proto.txt → item_proto so the client can correctly load a new item (vnum 165800, “Prestige Ring (1d)”).
What I’ve done so far
I correctly added the item in the server database (item_proto table).
The item works server-side, but the client cannot load it:
CPythonPlayer::SetItemData(...) - Failed to item data
I verified that the problem is client-side (item_proto / item_list.txt).
Tools I tried
Online proto converters → not working / outdated
DumpProto tools found online → same result
So I decided to compile DumpProto from source.
DumpProto compilation attempt
OS: Windows 10
IDE: Visual Studio (latest)
Opened DumpProto.sln / dump_proto.vcxproj
Set configuration: Release | Win32
Problems encountered:
Missing toolset (v142) → fixed by retargeting to latest MSVC
After that, compilation fails with errors like:
Cannot open include file: ../../../Client/GameLib/StdAfx.h: No such file or directory ../../../Client/GameLib/ItemData.h: No such file or directory
The DumpProto source depends on client source headers that I do NOT have in this environment.
Because of this:
I cannot compile DumpProto.exe
I cannot generate item_proto
The client keeps failing to load the item
What I’m asking
Is there a working, standalone DumpProto build that does NOT require full client source?
Is there a reliable way to convert item_proto.txt to item_proto for modern clients?
Or am I missing a required step / file (item_list, proto structure mismatch, etc.)?
Any help from someone who already solved this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
