Are you trying to put the file back into the .pack file?

This is NOT how it works.



You extract the file from the .pack file, rename it what you need place it in the same filepath in the data folder (not in the .pack, recreate the .pack location in the data folder)

Data pack it to make the mod work.

I'm editing a file that already exists within the .pack files.
Basically, just replacing the current skillinfo.xml with a modded one. The name is correct, and yes, I recreated the .pack location in the data folder. After that, I repacked it. That's when I started the edits of my original post.

I successfully replaced it, but for some reason my client now believes that I have no skills. Not sure why.

Didn't notice the new page of posts, so it took a while to respond. e_e

I have been trying to mod broadswords into cleavers, but i've been failing at the steps of finding the files. what kind of files are we looking for? Could u possibly tell me the locations of the files? i might be looking at the wrong places, but no files that looks like broadsword is showing up :/

[Lady Playtime]

Go search "PMG" or something similar, there is a guide to finding ANY PMG file.

I made a guide how to do the changes, Hei (I think) made the guide to finding it.
Merging them would make WAY too long of a post.
So I'm not including it here.

Here's a suggestion, take out the newest skillinfo.xml again from the .pack and then re-edit it. Then copy -> paste it in C:/Nexon/Mabinogi/data/db/skill/ and make sure the names of the folders are exactly right. Then as you know, just remove mods with DATA PACKER and re-mod.

This has been really bothering me... everytime I do the steps... I follow exactly what is said, but a error of Hackshield keeps popping up.. what could be causing it or how can I fix it?

Ok first off if your trying to get full mods then you need to do this.
Step 1: make sure you don't have any earlier mods cause these won't work any longer.
Step 2: Get fresh files. You can either redownload or use mabifresh. (not sure if this step is 100% required or not)
Step 3: The only two things that are working right now are unofficial tiara and MNG. Unofficial Tiara only has working data mods while MNG has the .dll's.
Step 4: Download these things if you don't have them already Unofficial Tiara, Data Packer, and MNG.
Step 5: Install Unofficial Tiara (this will create a data folder if you don't already have one inside of your mabinogi file)
Step 6: Drag Data Packer into your Mabinogi (follow this path C://Nexon/mabinogi)
Step 7: run data packer. Click Find. Then click modify.
Step 8: Drag dbghelp.dll and dbgorig.dll to your mabinogi. Again follow the path.
Step 9: There was another file that came with the two files in step 8. We'll put that in the Mabinogi file later. Right now click on that MNG.ini and change all the mods you want to have on to 1. Also if there are other options like choosing your text it will tell you your options and what to put for what you want.
Step 10: Drag that MNG.ini into your mabinogi folder using the path earlier.
Step 11: If you did all this right you should have working mods.
Notes: If this fails be sure to post exactly what your problem is in here so that people may assist you. Also when you are downloading MNG be sure to choose the right download based on your operating system whether it be Pre windows 7 or Windows 7. I hope this helps =)
P.S. kind of going off of memory if I named something wrong I apologize.

You did well and I'm surprised you bothered doin all that instead of just pointing them back at the OP.

Now for some correcting:
- You CAN re-download, you CAN use MabiFresh, or you can just rename the ".dlx", ".dllx", etc. to ".dll"
- There are alot more mods out there which work, for example, [Insert Chinese Characters Here]'s data folder mods, all those Auto Skill Training .XML's, not to mention self-modding.
- not "dbgorig.dll", it's "dbghelp.orig"

Thanks so much I don't understand how people have a hard time with your guide o.o it's pretty straight forward.... took me about 2 mins to do all of it. To bad my favorite mod isn't working..... the zoom mod.... Also I read a post from someone on here saying that the view CP mod isn't working but mine is working just fine O.o Anyways thanks agian now just to wait for the zoom mod to come back XD (Off topic but I heard that nexon is going to give us this in G14 S3 has anyone else heard this?)

If you want help, don't tell me you got an error, paste me the error code so I can see it to help.

Could've just asked me, Timmy. Some of your XMLs are probably outdated.

[shadowelite]

Well this is probably my own fault but i'm kinda confused.  I did all the steps that were listed when I ran mabi i got this.

Now, what mods are you using?

Tiara, MNG, Gerent, Sinner's, etc?
I really can't help too much without know what files are in use.

[No one.]

Now how can it be Gerent?

[Lady Playtime]

Now how can it be Gerent?

I get PM'd from people who still are trying to use Rhapsody.

You'd be amazed.

[shadowelite]

I'm using Tiara
and i think maybe Mng but is not for sure

[Lady Playtime]

ONLY Tiara?

If that's the case, you need to download the data packer, place it in mabi folder, run it.
Hit find, modify, close the packer, run mabi.

[No one.]

ONLY Tiara?

If that's the case, you need to download the data packer, place it in mabi folder, run it.

Since Tiara is just a data folder, it shouldn't receive a error just being in the mabi folder. There is more to it then just that.

[shadowelite]

Well i did that and it said no new mods found.  So i looked in the folder more closely found that MNG was in there so i must of put that in there

[Lady Playtime]

Okay, I'm going to ATTEMPT to break it down a bit here.
Try to follow along, I'm not totally awake right now, so bare with me,   I may have missed something...

UNDO EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FIRST (Sorry if this is a total pain the , but it's better to start off clean, to make sure you get it right)
Download tiara.
Download data packer.
Download MNG.
Open MNG.ini, set what you want to 1, 0 is off, make sure read data is off.
Install tiara to the mabi folder.
Run data packer now (place it in the mabi folder first)
Now move the MNG files (all 3) into the mabi folder.

Run mabi, post results to me.

Thanks for the help there Chris =) I was aware that there are obviously more mods working, but I was unaware what they were so I mainly went off on how to get full working mods the way that I did it. Thanks for the assist and correcting any of my mistakes =).
Also... If you would look at what I said when I made that step by step guide for you.. It tells you exactly what to do to get it to work... Also on the front page of this thread is HOW TO MAKE YOUR MODS WORK AS OF G14 step by step. -sigh-..

Wonderful now there's 3 guides on how to do this on this thread (maybe more?) I can only hope that's enough

[shadowelite]

Well actually before i download MNG. Could i ask would it matter what operating system I'm running?

[Lady Playtime]

MNG has two versions, 7 and pre7.

From the picture, you're pre7, thus, you will go get pre7 version.

Aside from that, it doesn't matter all that much.

Darn, you beat me to it. I was just typing this up and clicked post when it showed that you posted, but yes as Playtime said there are two downloads so you must know your operating system to download the correct MNG. Other then that they both run the same.

[shadowelite]

Would i want to move and replace the files? Sorry is kinda new at modding >.<
