Spells aren't being cast

[7teendev 2]

Hello everyone,

hope you had a nice day!

I came here to ask what could be causing that if I cast Aura spell for example, the animation is performed but I don't get any effect or Affect on the character.
It's happening to me across the board on all my characters and I'm not sure where to look next.
I've tried new skill_proto.txt(db no longer in use), however even with the default 40250 version I can't get this effect.
Would anyone know anything else I could try to debug?

Thanks!

skill_proto definetly fcked. You don't get the correct affect from the column setAffectFlag. It's possible that the .txt and the source's structure is not the same.

Hello @Matteo, you might be right.

Would you know, where I could look into the src and find the structure of this table?

I even tried exporting skill_proto from db and exporting it for skilltable.txt, but it's still the same  Even got "find strange game data"

Thanks for any info!

To be more specific, I found my tokens but, I'm not sure, where it translates to specific "tags"?

Check the function which loads the .txt file, its splitting it at tabs so data <tab> data is token <tab> token etc etc.

I'm trying to find anything, that could tell me, which tokens are actually being checked/used but nothing other then this function I found

If I understand it correctly, it should only need these:

dwVnum,
szPointPoly,
szSPCostPoly,
szCooldownPoly,
szDurationSPCostPoly,
dwTargetRange,
szDurationPoly,
bMaxLevel,
bLevelLimit

But even if I export it, client still end up on "Find strange game data"..

This export will not brick the spells, but still won't get me any effect

• dwVnum
• szName
• bType
• bLevelStep
• bMaxLevel
• bLevelLimit
• szPointOn
• szPointPoly
• szSPCostPoly
• szDurationPoly
• szDurationSPCostPoly
• szCooldownPoly
• szMasterBonusPoly
• szAttackGradePoly
• setFlag
• setAffectFlag
• szPointOn2
• szPointPoly2
• szDurationPoly2
• setAffectFlag2
• szPointOn3
• szPointPoly3
• szDurationPoly3
• szGrandMasterAddSPCostPoly
• prerequisiteSkillVnum
• prerequisiteSkillLevel
• eSkillType
• iMaxHit
• szSplashAroundDamageAdjustPoly
• dwTargetRange
• dwSplashRange
