I have added custom sprites into a .spr .dat. The server and client load them fine but im trying to add them to my RME to place them on the map. I copied over my edited .spr & .dat to my client directory i also replaced the RME item.otb with my item.otb. When i load my map now i get the following error, its all the same directory nothings moved just replaced some files. Any idea?

I can still load the map with a normal .spr & .dat, the second i add my one with the custom sprites it spits out that error.

EDIT: Progress

When i replace just the items.otb in RME i can load my custom items but the sprites are completely wrong, i assume thats because it cant see my new .spr or .dat but when i add my .spr and .dat i get the above error

RME checks Tibia data file signatures, including the SPR. It's under preferences on the Client Versions tab. you can uncheck it.

You can also just edit the XML file RME reads the sigs from to update the sig to match your edited file.

Na could never fix it, had to use some other map editor and I could place the items they were all red squares, it would never load the sprite visually in the editor, but still worked.

I can't check either PC blew up about a month ago and I lost pretty much everything lol

why are you using such an old RME?

here are a few tips:
  • use newer RME
  • make sure to edit the RME Tibia.otfi file to enable extended sprites
  • make sure you are using your custom items.otb in your respective RME clients folder
