Well I setup my server and got lurkers database installed, and have been tinkering with the EQAdmin Tool. Now I'm trying to figure out how to create some custom NPCs, just simple human texture guys in qey2hh1 that would say something back if you hailed them, give you exp/skills etc.
So what I'd like to learn is:
a. how do you input a new NPC into your database? Is it best to use the admin tool or could you do it manually? How do you do it and what do the numbers mean? By numbers I mean something like this: (1,'Aagron',35,1,1,2010,0,3,3,0,9,37,5,0,2,123,' ',' ',0,110,1,6,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0);
I can see some of them represent level, material, gender, HPs etc. But how do you specify location? How do you assign a script to them?
b. how do I get the maps to work for the admin tool? It said it uses the showeq maps, those were from mapfiend right? I saw that his site was gone but he had the master .zip file of maps still around so i downloaded that and placed it in FQAdmin\maps but I get a floating point error when I am on the map screen. Any ideas what to do?
Thanks for any help :)
