I could not find a way to fix the glows in this file, all glows seems to be capped at the +6 or +9 glows forever, those swords are +27, anyone know how can i unlock the other glows? like the wave effects.

If it's simple, then take the ItemRefineInfo.txt and ItemRefineEffectInfo.txt files from another client that has a glow. If it's complicated, then read the following spoiler:
# CItemRefineSet and CItemRefineEffectSet Tables
Two client-side loadable tables that control **visual effects for weapons and equipment** during forging and gem enhancement. They define item texture glow and particle attachment to the model.
---
## 1. CItemRefineSet (ItemRefineInfo)
### Purpose
Maps **item ID** to a set of **effect IDs** and **scales** for different character types. Indexed by item ID (nItemID).
### Data Source
- **File:** `scripts/table/ItemRefineInfo` (txt/bin)
- **Loading:** `GameAppInterface.cpp`, during client initialization
- **ID range:** 0 … `g_Config.m_nMaxItemType`
### CItemRefineInfo Structure
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `Value[14]` | short[ITEM_REFINE_NUM] | 14 effect indices. Each index is an ID of a record in ItemRefineEffectInfo. The index is chosen based on gem type combination (see Lua `Item_Stoneeffect`). |
| `fChaEffectScale[4]` | float[4] | Particle scale for 4 character types (Lance, Carsise, Phyllis, Ami). Used in `SetForgeEffect` when creating effects. |
### Table Format (ItemRefineInfo.txt)
- **Columns 1–14:** `Value[0]` … `Value[13]` — effect IDs from ItemRefineEffectInfo
- **Columns 15–18:** `fChaEffectScale[0]` … `fChaEffectScale[3]`
Example row:
```
4 Serpentine Sword 3 9 0 12 26 0 25 0 24 0 0 27 0 0 0.6 1.0 1.0 0.7
```
- Item ID: 4
- Value: 3, 9, 0, 12, 26, 0, 25, 0, 24, 0, 0, 27, 0, 0
- fChaEffectScale: 0.6, 1.0, 1.0, 0.7
---
## 2. CItemRefineEffectSet (ItemRefineEffectInfo)
### Purpose
Defines a **specific visual effect**: texture glow ID and particle IDs for each character type and attachment point (dummy).
### Data Source
- **File:** `scripts/table/ItemRefineEffectInfo` (txt/bin)
- **Loading:** `GameAppInterface.cpp`
- **ID range:** 0 … 5000
### CItemRefineEffectInfo Structure
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `nLightID` | int | Texture glow set ID (ItemLit). 0 = no glow. Used in `LitResetTexture(item_id, level)`. |
| `sEffectID[4][4]` | short[REFINE_EFFECT_CHA_NUM][REFINE_EFFECT_NUM] | 4×4 matrix: [character type][effect slot] → base effect ID. Final ID = `sEffectID * 10 + Level` (Level 0–3). |
| `chDummy[4]` | char[4] | Item model dummy bone indices for particle attachment (0–5, etc.). |
| `_sEffectNum[4]` | int[4] (private) | Number of active effects per character type (computed at load time). |
### Table Format (ItemRefineEffectInfo.txt)
- **Column 1:** Record ID
- **Column 2:** Name (not used in code)
- **Column 3:** nLightID (Glow ID)
- **Columns 4–7:** Effect ID 1 for Lance, Carsise, Phyllis, Ami
- **Column 8:** Dummy 1
- **Columns 9–12:** Effect ID 2 for four characters
- **Column 13:** Dummy 2
- … same pattern for Effect 3 and 4
Example:
```
1 Staff Bonus 3 0 0 300 300 4 0 0 301 301 4 0 0 302 302 0 0 0 0 0 0
```
- nLightID = 3
- Effects: 300, 301, 302 for Phyllis/Ami, dummy 4
---
## 3. Usage Chain
### 3.1. Effect Selection by Gems
Lua function `Item_Stoneeffect(Stone_Type1, Stone_Type2, Stone_Type3)` returns 1–14 (or 0 if no effect). This is the index into the `Value[]` array of ItemRefineInfo.
Gem types are defined in `CStoneInfo::nType`. Combinations determine which of the 14 effect slots to use (single type, two types, three types, etc.).
### 3.2. Data Retrieval in Code
```
SItemForge::Refresh(nItemID):
1. Item_Stoneeffect(nStoneType[0], nStoneType[1], nStoneType[2]) → nEffectID (1-based)
2. nEffectID-- (convert to 0-based)
3. pRefineInfo = GetItemRefineInfo(nItemID) // by item ID
4. pEffectInfo = GetItemRefineEffectInfo(pRefineInfo->Value[nEffectID]) // by effect ID
5. nEffectLevel = (nLevel - 1) / 4 // 0–3 by forge level
```
### 3.3. Applying the Effect (CSceneItem::SetForgeEffect)
1. **Texture glow:**
`LitResetTexture(pInfo->nLightID, Level)` — replace item texture with animated glow by level (0–3).
2. **Particles:**
For each active effect:
- `nEffectID = pInfo->sEffectID[nCharID] * 10 + Level`
- `pEffect->Create(nEffectID)` — create effect
- `pEffect->setFollowObj(pItem, NODE_ITEM, pInfo->chDummy)` — attach to dummy
- `pEffect->SetScale(Forge.pRefineInfo->fChaEffectScale[nCharID], ...)` — scale from ItemRefineInfo
- `pEffect->SetAlpha(SItemForge::GetAlpha(Forge.nLevel))` — alpha by forge level

## 4. Constants
| Constant | Value | Description |
|----------|-------|-------------|
| `ITEM_REFINE_NUM` | 14 | Number of effect slots in ItemRefineInfo |
| `REFINE_EFFECT_NUM` | 4 | Maximum particles per effect |
| `REFINE_EFFECT_CHA_NUM` | 4 | Number of character types (Lance, Carsise, Phyllis, Ami) |
---
## 5. Code Usage
| File | Usage |
|------|-------|
| `SceneItem.cpp` | `SetForgeEffect` — glow and particles on world items |
| `GameAppMsg.cpp` | Handling `left/right` and `forge` commands — effects on character equipment |
| `UIItemCommand.cpp` | `SItemForge::Refresh`, `GetForgeInfo` — hints and forge level display |
| `GameAppInterface.cpp` | Table loading, binary export |
---
## 6. Relation to Other Systems
- **ItemLit (lwItemLit):** glow textures by `nLightID` and level
- **CEffectObj:** particles by `sEffectID * 10 + Level`
- **CStoneSet / CStoneInfo:** gem types for `Item_Stoneeffect`
- **SItemForge:** structure combining forge, gem, and effect data

I still could not find the way to use the last tier effect, in the scripts i could see it has 4 tier as usual on 1, 5, 9 and 13 but the last one is different, i just want to use the same effects as in the original like this
with this clear wave effect but in the server it just looks like this
same app and the most obvious just to see how different it looks x.x
