MabiPro: The Authentic Old-School Mabinogi Experience

So as you might know, metallurgy spots can be difficult to see sometimes with the sunlight blur on the beach or because of the water in courcle waterfall area.
A mod can fix this issue by showing the name of the metallurgy spot on top of it.
This mod is usually a part of mod packs like tiaras moonshine mod but it can raise some compatibility issues with the custom content from mabi pro (like the tailteann balloon to go to the altar).

So how to make your own mod to show metallurgy spots fully compatible with mabi pro ?

This mod is quite simple to make, you just need to change few characters in a text file (propdb.xml).

First you need to extract the original propdb.xml from mabi pro which comprises custom contents.

For this, use mabi unpack tool (you can find it on mabimods) and unpack the .pack files in your mabi pro folder
e.g. C:\Mabinogi Pro\package
It will be found under the db subfolder in the .pack file. You need to get the most recent version. Currently, it's located in mabipro1-1.pack because it wasn't updated in the 1-2 and 1-3 packages.


Now open the propdb.xml file with something like notepad and look for the lines
<PropClass ClassID="41126"
<PropClass ClassID="41127"
<PropClass ClassID="41378"
<PropClass ClassID="41916"
<PropClass ClassID="42343"
You'll see a bit further on each of these lines the part of code
ShowName="false"

Change it to
ShowName="true"

Save the file and put it in the data\db folder of your mabi pro installation folder (you might need to create it)
e.g. C:\Mabinogi Pro\data\db

Start mabinogi and there you go, you can now see the name of the metallurgy spots.
