Add an Npc
 

hello, I need help to add an npc because i can't do it with admin tool.
I'm running the 0.5.3Dr2 serv.

http://www.everquestserver.com/forum...pic.php?t=8225 hope that helps at the bottom tells how to add the npc to the db.

Tks work good, but now I want add loot to them and I don't know how can I do this ?

erm theres a program around here that makes loot tables for monsters not sure what its called.

mysql....

mysql-front is useful.. all you do is define the loottable id, then the item ids that are in that loot table... then assign that loot table to the npc (all in mysql-front)... it's not hard if you search a little.

im not talking about mysql im talking about a program that makes the loot table for you all you have to do is know the id number of the item and then it adds the loot for you, not sure if its compatible with 5.x. if you cant find it on the forums send me a pm and ill send you zip witht the proggie.

I m currently working on such a 3rdPT, its not fully finished by loottables and spawn control is implemented yet, i ll post a link to it once back at home tonight.

L8rs.

ok tks muss !

I go try it !

Back at home, you can dl the editor from that link :

Muuss... yet another very useful tool you've released. Thanks a lot man. :D :D

Ok tks I hope that this tool can help me ! :P

Here's an issue I had...

Trying to get npcs to wield things. I #spawn them with the itemid in the primary/secondary slots, and it spawns with way different things in its hands.

Is there a different item db for npcs to hold stuff or what? /boggle

Oh yeah, also, when I #spawn, then #npcspawn create then #npcspawn add, if I depop and repop the zone, the mob doesn't repop :( what am I doing wrong?

when i was trying to unzip this file i kept getting a this is not a valid archive. anything i can do about this?

You have to reboot the server to have the new NPC's spawn

yes, you can get the list from a texte file eqadmin source pack or perhaps from that very good pdf file distributed by Magick i think.

ah rebooting the server worked great. Pain in the ass to have to do that every time, but hey.

Now lemme see if I can figure out merchants :P

I got this error too because it didn't download the whole file. It quit after about a third of it because the speed slowed to nothing. I guess just try to redownload it...

nevermind i got it now
