So...

to get back on track with this topic, has anyone figured out how to get NPC's into the database who spawn as the correct race?

To reiterate the comment earlier... they (in 4.4DR) can be added via database (SQL or Admin Tool) or in-game yet they will always pop as human models. The size seems to work but as an example, in PoTactics I can create boars and rallos ogre classes yet they list as Race 62 and 69 when I check the info on them in game (the database, however, shows the correct class numbers),

Does anyone have a fix for this? And where is the problem? In how the emulator is reading the database?

GMs/guides (and us) can only use models available to them for that zone, or those that are in the global model file.

You can become Innoruuk in any zone becauase he is in the global model file.

You can't become Fennin Ro unless you are in pofire because he is only found in the zone model file for pofire, not the global model file.

If the client can't display a model because its not in the global file or is not in the current zone file, it will display as a human.

Becoming an NPC
 

Not true the GM's NOT guides have a batch file when they use /become that pulls character models off the Database (oracle / SQL in there case) boots them off the screen reloads there zone file and makes them a character (PC) to play as that person which there lead makes them delete after the quest incase of loading too quick when you goto work *yea yea sure who doesnt just keep pressing enter* and I know atleast in my short term with Sony they usually have to get a Quester (Quest Team person) who will make a file ahead of time which does all the talking and attacking so they load it up and sit there or you will have the GM who says 'haha I dont care if the warriors agro me I am killing wizzy's clerics chanters first I know I dont need charmed or Manaburned' btw all of Sony is evil the first thing they did when Verant sold out was force Jeff Butler to resign and leave since he wanted to INCREASE the CSR Base and hire more GM's and phone techs, instead they fired 43 CSR's (another name for GM) and took guide privlages away then started in on Name changes, character moves, etc since they were being offered WITH items for free if you quested it. Brenlo himself (Alan Crosby head GM/CSR) said were nerfing guides/gm's move commands and name changes we need more money.
