Item Proto
The Item Proto is a crypted file that contains all informations about the items included in the game. This file is both present in the client and the server.
In the server, this file is used to process all the item (such as when you equip an item, if you can actually equip it).
In the client, this file is used to perform several client-side checks (in order to reduce the amount of data sent to the server) and what actually is displayed in the item information.
The Item proto must be in one of this two formats, MIPX format or MIPT format.
Deployment
Although the client is able to load a MIPT Item Proto (as references exists in the binary), no MIPT proto has ever been found.

MIPT format
While references of this file format still exists in the executable, no public client that ships a MIPT proto has ever surfaced.
It might have been used during development of Metin2 or in very old clients (like 2004 or 2003).
The CryptedObject format is the same as a MIPX proto.
