Solved How to edit item stats?

[ecounlimited]

I looked everywhere but can't find a tutorial to editing the stats of items. I thought it was as simple as going into items.xml and adding

<item id="2490" article="a" name="dark helmet">
  <attribute key="weight" value="4600" />
  <attribute key="armor" value="6" />
  <attribute key="slotType" value="head" />
     <attribute key="skillSword" value="1" />
  <attribute key="skillAxe" value="1" />
  <attribute key="skillClub" value="1" />
  </item>

or something, but that only makes the item read "club fighting +1" without actually changing their skill. I downloaded NoxItems and OTItemEditor, but neither of these programs edits stats; or maybe I just don't know how to use them. I'm using TFS Crying Damson 8.6. Help!

You need to register the item in movements.xml.

<movevent type="Equip" itemid="2490" slot="head" event="function" value="onEquipItem"/>
<movevent type="DeEquip" itemid="2490" slot="head" event="function" value="onDeEquipItem"/>

Thanks! It works now. If you could answer another question that'd be great:

Why are the IDs for items sometimes split up? Is there a purpose, or were the developers just sloppy? Here's what I mean:

As you can see where I highlighted, this item "11114" that came with the distribution is this:

I'm not a programmer so forgive me for not using correct terminology, but the boots equip movevent is in the top part, but the deequip movevent is in a separate </movevent>. Both are for the same vocation ids though, 3/4/7/8 - p/k/rp/ek. Do I need to split my movevents up like that when I add new ones?

It's for vocation wielding which you can see at your second image (It can only be wielded properly by paladins and knights)

Not necessarily, only if you want to restrict the item to a certain vocation.
