Problem with custom items [WhyDB]

[Myuu]

When I make a weapon with WoW-V and add it to the server it dosn't count as a melee so I can't use most of my spells. I tried going into the database to see if I could fix it there, but when I try to open up the items table it gives an error message that says: "Duplicate name 'Field 41' in TFieldDefs". How can I fix this?


I'm running the latest rev of Arcemu and WhyDB (downloaded them yesterday).

Also, is there any easy way to delete every mob in Outlands?

Oh the dreadful red question mark. How I hated thee.

It's not a problem with your database. It's that the item id of the custom weapon you created isn't in the item dbc. So the client doesn't know how to use it. Try using the search feature next time. There are threads all over the place concerning this issue.

You need to modify the item.dbc if you want the weapons to be enchantable and be able to be used for special attacks.

Method 2.
If you are not confident with dbc editing a must more simple solution is to modify a pre-existing weapon (Worn Shortsword for example) to your custom weapon, the bag icon will still be the worn shortsword, but the world model it uses will be the one you selected.
It will also be able to be used for special attacks.

Method 3.
Zoho Sheet - Online Spreadsheets These are unused ENTRY IDs, they are in the DBC already so they can't be locked out, just modify one that has the same type as a weapon you require.

If you decide to go the dbc editing route, read this guide.
