Creating NPC's

[chozsun]

No matter what I do for the PC and give the NPC a level 1, my character keeps missing the NPC while the NPC occasionally hits me.

What am I doing wrong with the NPC's?

I am using EQ Emu Admin Tool. There is not a place for AC so is that a field in the NPC tables that the Admin tool is not reporting. Also, I do not know the guidelines for size, texture, helmtexture, hp regen rate and mana regen rate.

Nothing wrong with the NPCs, but the melee skills of your GM (I assume) char sux0rz badly.. use #setskill [skill#] [skilllevel] with yourself targetted to fix it.. Skills range from 0-74, skilllevel from 0-255. Enjoy!

You can get a list of skill id's from the Windows_Install_Guide.txt along with a lot of other nifty commands. :)

i have found, that most certainly on non-player races, the higher the material number, the harder they hit and the less dmg they take. I spawned a laval dragon of level 60 w/material 0 and its max hit was 200, i then respawned the creature with a material of 999 and it hit me for 1500, then 5000. this may help :D I havent tried it on player races, seeing as when im poping zones I would like them to look right, rather than just be hard.

wonder if maybe material has something to do with a damage factor or strength on the npc.. because I noticed in code that the material for the npc struct has a comment next to it that says //materal ?? -- so either it's still an unknown value - or maybe it's just a code error.
