Essential Items in Source Code

[Ace 4629]

Are there any items that are required in the source, so that if they are removed, it could 
cause problems? For example, 'Yang' is required, so it’s not possible to remove it as an item.
Is there a list or any idea of how to list all such items?

 

best regards

Hello,

The answer is yes and no. Metin2 is really hardcoded, or at least some parts are and it suffers from some technical debt from being passed down to at least two to three teams. You can find a list of items that are deemed "essential" for some features in "unique_item.h". However, you will find stray vnums here (some duplicates from unique_item that use the vnum instead) and there. Your best bet to find some specific hardcoded items would be to look for "dwItemVnum" or "GetVnum() ==" in switch cases or checks.

As for REALLY mandatory items that will deeply affect the game, except from yangs, I do not see anything close to this.

Best regards,
