Adding races to zones/global?

[AdrianD]

I was reading this thread below...

Good info, instructional...

My question is what do the file names translate to. For example, the file rtn.eqg is the rat model. Which file is for dragons? And so on...

I want to enable models in various zones or globally for all zones where certain models are default to human.

Thanks

I think I did a FAIL!

I found this link in another recent, very recent thread...

Nice! Thank you.

Question:

How will the game/computer run if I add many/all of the models to the GlobalLoad file that I want available?

UF and lower clients will load every single model into memory, regardless of actual use in the zone or not, not very efficient. Slows loading.

It's also a good practice if you're world building to manually build the zone's character file that it uses to load models. This tool is available here:
