monsters not moving

[jyaku]

there are a few zones where some monster NPC's will not move unless attacked. they all just stand in a line. how do i fix this and is there a way to make MORE monster npc's in a zone, cause a few are very empty

you most likely have problem with .map files
when they missing mobs effectivly BLIND - they unable to measure distance to the target or travel around

[jyaku]

how does one go about fixing that?

[ChaosSlayerZ]

redownload entire map package - its fairly big- about 1 gig
I think its hosted on Angelox site

i have done this and they are still not moving. and now the models are turning up as human

[ChaosSlayerZ]

the model turn as humans when their model is not listed in zone file to be loaded. If you haven't touch the files- then they may have got corupted - they are client side, so reinstall of EQ is recomended.

otherwise, list a few zones where your mobs are not moving then go and see if you actualy have .map files for those zones.

if they are SoF zones- most likely there are no .map files for them yet

the only zone i really know of it nro, and we do have the map file from the angelox download.

If you are talking about the newly remodeled North Ro in Secrets of Faydwer, then unfortunately, that is one of the zones that we don't have map files for because it uses the new .EQG version 4 file type. Many of the good new outdoor zones in SoF use that type and Azone can't create maps for them yet. It may happen eventually, but I doubt anytime soon.

we're using the titainum client so it's the old north ro. It's not all of the mobs only the baby scabs and taran's
