Custom NPC Spawn and Quest

[Apoc.Index]

Ok, so I seem to have everything up and running smooth and DL'd Georges tools. However im falling flat on my face when it comes to making custom NPC, I don't know if there is a really super cool tool im missing or if Its just a learning curve for me.

I am making custom items stats, etc just fine. I could really use a tutorial on making custom NPC's and Quests.


Thanks!

The only way that I know how to create NPCs (Aside from manually doing it in the DB) is in game using the command #spawn (To spawn it) and #npcspawn create (To add it to the DB). Here is a link that should help you learn How To Create NPCs. (http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=CategoryCreateNPC)

Hope it helps.

A little visual aid might help or confuse you even more.

That will spawn an npc named Server Greeter in PoKnowledge beside main bank. It should appear as a large red sporali or as a human depending on your client.
The delete statements are optional it just helps clear out anything currently using those id values.
