Description:
This guide covers the basic checks needed when adding weapon icons and item_proto entries for custom Metin2 weapons.
Icon checklist:
- Use the same vnum in icon paths, item_list.txt, and item_proto.
- Keep icon size and transparency consistent with your client style.
- Place icons in the correct icon/item folder before repacking.
- Clear client cache after replacing old icons.
Client-side configuration:
- Add the weapon model path in item_list.txt.
- Confirm the item type matches the weapon category.
- Use clean names for every upgrade level.
- Test the item in inventory, equipment window, shop window, and trade window.
Server-side configuration:
- Match the vnum with the client files.
- Set subtype correctly for sword, dagger, bow, fan, bell, or two-handed weapon.
- Balance damage values before releasing the item to players.
- Check sell price, antiflags, wearflags, sockets, and refine settings.
Quick debugging:
If the weapon appears in inventory but not in hand, check item_list.txt and the model path.
If the weapon appears in hand but the icon is wrong, check the icon path and vnum mapping.
