question for spawn modifying

[el_fatal]

Heyas! I have some problems modifying spawns. What I want to do is:
#npcspawn xyz --> spawn an existing NPC

then modify him with a new name, and some other behaviour.
Remove or add loot isnt a problem.
Problem is that with #npcspawn update i never get variables to fill in.
I know, that when I did all the changes I want I add him with #npcspawn add to the database, then repop to take effect.
But how to change name? maybe ai behaviour (can that be done "online"?) and maybe a new #gassign?

Thanks in advance for the help and forgive my questions - I just started to deal with all that!

First off , repopping the zone wont have the changes made you need to reboot the server.

Second, you can get the NPC ID# after you reboot the server then go into the DB and edit his name there, once again reboot server to see changes.

You can edit just about everything inside the DB, the Grid, hp, name ect ect ect.

You can actualy go to the end of the line and add mobs right into the DB, then spawn them and npc spawn add.

so there is no way to edit the name of a npc online?

Thanks

The best way i have found to Mod NPC's is with the Command Center from Mysql found here...

www.Mysql.com

Its really easy to browse through the tables and change what you wish...
