How would I go about changing the requirements for certain equipment?

[PrettyPrincessPotato]

Would it be supported in the associated .toml? I see other skills have that option but I'm a little confused on how it's all put together.

Say, for example, I wanted to remove the attack requirements for the magic weapons on my server, how would I go about that?

Took me a bit to really understand how everything is put together, but now I do! (Somewhat.)
Everything you need is stored in the cache, and GregHib has created a tool that you can run to see inside it. See Cache Viewer
Now all of this information is actually able to be freely edited! In this example I used Ahrim's Staff which has 70 attack requirement.

First the two values:
equip_skill_1 = 0
equip_skill_2 = 6

These determine what skills are required to equip the weapon. For the sake of compatibility (and simply not knowing how to open a cache file and edit it) I left these values alone and focused on the next two:

equip_level_1 = 70
equip_level_2 = 70

Now I don't remember where exactly, but somewhere I read that the value of attack was 0, so I knew to turn equip_level_1 (which the skill is assigned to 0) to = 0.

And this can be edited without recompiling the client under barrows.items.toml - Simply add the value and it will override it!

Yes exactly, glad you figured it out. You can override most parameter values in the toml files, the only caveat is interfaces that use these values directly from the cache (equipment screen uses server side values so in your case this would be fine) won't be updated; so you would need to update those values in the cache.

Thanks for the quick reply and further explanation! I've been having a lot of fun poking around the insides but I'm self-taught so sometimes I run into silly hiccups like that.

One thing I haven't quite figured out yet: how do you edit the cache? I've managed to create a shop using a (technically I think?) custom NPC using Bob's model, but I can't appear to change the name at all and had to use one of the unused inventories with enough space already inside the cache, which will cause problems later down the line no doubt.

[GregHib]

Not a problem always happy to answer questions! Either you change it with code by writing some kind of script, you can see some examples in tools. Or you'll need a GUI cache editor built by someone else (I believe there's an experimental one in 2011scape's discord)

Hey, so I attempted to edit the cache directly with success, this is quite a powerful tool you've made and I'm impressed good job!

I'm having a new issue with what you've stated above: the gui isn't reflecting the changes even if I've changed the cache directly. Namely when I go into skills, press magic, go to staves, and look at the weapon equipment, it still states a 30 attack requirement. Where is all of that determined?

Thank you for your time. :)

Namely when I go into skills, press magic, go to staves, and look at the weapon equipment, it still states a 30 attack requirement. Where is all of that determined?

So the skill guides are a bit of a special case as they use client scripts to populate the data (in newer interfaces this would typically be stored in enums/structs which are easily editable). Specifically for magic would be script 996:

996 - [proc,skill_advance_guide_entry_magic].cs2.txt

You'll need a special cs2 editor to modify that.

It can technically be done with a script but is a real pain to understand, see DumpStyles.kt as an example where I parse some cs2 for some values
