I have been experiment with packet collector, everything is working fine. Does it collect the npcs hp and damage rate? If so I am useing merths world builder but it generates all npcs to have 100000 hps and 400 maxdmg anyway to get the correct vaules to make a complete database for everyone or do i have to do them manual?

Thanks for help inadvance

It can't packetcollect damage. We don't know the equations yet, and they are stored and processed inside the server. That means that it doesn't send the equation to you; it sends only the answer.

So damage can't be PC'd. I don't know about HPs.

hp is only sent via a percentage, they stopped sending the real hp a while back to stop showeq presumably

I knew they sent something, LE. Otherwise we'd never know the percentage of a Mob's HP left over. I just didn't know if it was a total or a percent.

IIRC when they made mobs with >32768HP they started sending mobs HP as a percentage. I imagine it was to cut down on the client/server bandwidth rather than to foil showeq.
