NPC Loot Editor Update

[Mariomario]

Is there anyway to get this tool updated with the new special_abilities column that was changed from npcspecialattks please?

[Mortow]

GeorgeS, I have to second this. Your NPC editing tool is my most used piece od software for my server. I made the leap and recompiled with the new Lua additions and can no longer use this great tool. Please, when you get the time, put in a patch for the new special abilities that Lua uses.

Thanks.

[Drakiyth]

Aye, please George. Get your editor fixed up to the newest build. The special attacks reverted to special abilities is very inconvenient. Currently using an SQL to copy NPCs. It's ridiculous.

Give the PeqEditor a try or akkadius's.
Or you could just create npc / edit npc and leave that field blank and then just run a query later to assign abilities you want npc to have.
Not sure on that last part as I don't use G-Tools

[Nerdgasm]

Agreed. This needs a fix, <3 you George. xD

That will help (FOR NOW)....

Okay, to create your own C# Program to do what you want to do you will have to follow these instructions:

1. Have some basic C# knowledge, Intellisense is REALLY helpful, so you don't need to be a professional.
2. Have Visual Studio 2008, Visual Studio 2010, or Visual Studio 2012.
3. You will need this: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mirror.php?id=414335
4. You will need to open that and look for 'Applications' and install 'MySQL for Visual Studio'.
5. Next time you open Visual Studio, create a new Project.
6. Go to 'Data' on the menu at the top, click 'Add New Data Source'.
7. 'Database' -> 'Dataset' -> Click 'New Connection...'
8. You should now see MySQL Database as a choice.
9. Choose it.
10. Put in your Server Name, which should be localhost, your Database Username, and Database Password.
11. Then choose the database.
12. Click 'Data' again, 'Show Data Sources'.
13. 'Add New Data Source...'
14. 'Database' -> 'Dataset'
15. Choose 'Yes, include sensitive data in my connection string.'
16. 'Next >'
17. 'Next >'
18. Choose your table(s), click 'Finish'.
19. You're ready!
20. Enjoy!

Should see this under 'Data Sources' on the left side, if you chose 'npc_types': http://prntscr.com/1ll3j2

That sure comes across as rude.

[GeorgeS]

I am working on it now.

Thank you very much, GeorgeS. I really appreciate all the hard work you have put into your tools and I know there are many others that do also.

Could not agree more. This is my favored editor. Allows me to see things grouped in a much easier form for zones.

[GeorgeS]

Ok, finished the update. Also updated the special attacks editor.
I hope this help you all!

Great work GeorgeS :)

[Mariomario]

Awesome! This is great work. Thanks George.

[ChaosSlayerZ]

George, half of the servers would not have ever existed without you ;)

[Mortow]

You have my undying gratitude. Thanks for the quick fix.

[Mariomario]

George, half of the servers would not have ever existed without you ;)

Isnt that the truth. I did a lot of editing through just SQLs while the editor was unusable but found myself missing that tool more and more. If I had to do things through SQL constantly I definitely would not be where I am in progress with the server.

[GeorgeS]

Glad to hear - it's music to my ears!
