3dEffect Bible?

[killerbyte]

Hi everyone,

What I want to do:
Reduce lag by editing ini files
In particular, I'd like to turn off effects things such thunder, hercules, heaven blessing/lucky time, garment effects, weapon effects, custom garments, custom weapon cosmetics, etc. 

What I need help with: 
1. Where can I find an index that lists all of the skills/effectsin the game itsef, and corresponding terms in the ini files?
For example, if I want to find Fast Blade, I would have to look for the term 'swordgas'. Where can I find a full list? How do I know the terms for garment effects, weapon effects etc?
I have also noticed that I may need to edit more that just 3dEffect.ini. I found arrow effetcs in 3dFlyingObj.ini etc.
2. Which files will I have to edit and is there a tutorial/index that says which files contain which documents?

I would like to say that I am quite a noob when it comes to editing files and reaping my desired outcome. I may not be as experienced or intelligent as many of the people here, and I appreciate any lessons and references - I do not ask to be spoon fed, but would be grateful for ALL learning opportunities and learning resources (even corrections in the type of language I use). I am using my interest in Conquer to develop my I.T skills. A big thank you to Spirited - I used your guide to run my own server locally and learnt about the different types of serves, and how they work in tandem with databases. 

Thank you!

I think you only need the Magic3DEffect.ini that's what the effectname stored.

not sure if this will help you much but here is a no effects file for players to use on startup if they dont want effects on, it is for a 5695 server/client. you can use a wdb manager/tool and decrypt it and look at the files to compare it to the client you are working on and so you get an idea of how disabling effects works. you can also edit "Action3DEffect.ini" or make it blank and that will kill all effects on garments, mounts, weapon accessories and iirc other effects like dragon souls and what nots. If you are trying to make things load in quicker then i would look into making mesh and texture files on all the files in the c3 folder smaller, the smaller the files the quicker they load for example most conquer online garms are around 30-60kb for the mesh and texture files but most garms made by other people are around 150kb up to 1mb for the mesh and texture files. if you have one person wearing a garment that has a mesh file over roughly 250kb it will cause everything to take longer to render/load in. lets say that player is sitting in twin city square and is wearing a garment that has around a 300-400kb .c3 mesh file size, when you first teleport to twin city or start up the client it will take longer than normal for everything to load like npcs, players, guards, monsters and what nots.

in terms of trying to actually optimize the conquer client itself you will be doing a whole lot more than editing a couple ini files. I suggest looking into the mesh and texture file sizes in your client and using blender to make them smaller. "factory" conquer online stuff loads in for the most part instantly and there really shouldn't be any lag at all in game unless there was something "aftermarket" causing it like heavy files, unstable host or maybe even a shit source. everything related to figuring out step 1 is looking through the c3 folder, there are .c3 files and .dds files the .c3 files are the mesh and the .dds files are the texture. its all controlled in the ini folder through 3DEffect.ini, 3DEffectObj.ini, 3dobj.ini, 3dtexture.ini and then Action3DEffect.ini is how you attach the effects to an items ID and then there is other files like weapon.ini and armor.ini that are for adding gear in game along with the other files i stated in this message.  sorry if my messages are a bit messy or difficult to read i tend to carry on and go all over the place but for the most part that is 99% of the info needed to look around at how its all controlled or handled in the clients and that is on any patch.
