I seem to be having a bit of an issue creating 2 opposing factions (a guard faction and a mob faction).

Here are my rows from faction_list:

Code:

|id     | name   | base | Rest |

|1001 | Guards | 250  | 0     |

|1000 | Mobs   | -750 | 0     |

Here are my rows from npc_faction:

Code:

|id       | name  | PimaryFaction | ignore_primary_assist |

|40000 | Guards | 1001            | 0                            |

|40001 | Mobs   | 1000            | 0                            |

Here are my rows from npc_faction_entries:

Code:

|id       | faction_id  | value  | npc_value |

|40000 | 1001         | -1000 | 1             |

|40000 | 1000         | 100    | 1             |

|40001 | 1001         | 10      | 1             |

|40001 | 1000         | -10     | 1             |

What I am trying to do is create guards and mobs, I added 40000 to guards under npc_faction_id and they work, they con correctly to me everytime. now I added 40001 to the mobs and they do not con correctly. also I made my faction with guards -2000 (ready to attack) and made their aggro radius 100 and they con correctly but don't aggro me even though they are the same level. Help is greatly appreciated.

i don't know why mobs are not agroing - perhaps you don't have map files? But there is an error in your npc_faction_entries value_setting.
For factions to be opposite, this needs to be changed to:

|id | faction_id | value | npc_value |
|40000 | 1001 | -1000 | 1 |
|40000 | 1000 | 100 | -1 |
|40001 | 1001 | 10 | -1 |
|40001 | 1000 | -10 | 1 |

note the (-1)s, otherwise your guards will end up assisting the mobs against you =)

That was more or less a last ditch effort to try anything that could possibly be the problem heh.

Also, agro is a problem, but the big one is the mobs don't even spawn with a faction even though they are set to -750 they still con indiff. if I can solve that I think everything will work it self out

Thanks, that did get the guards on good faction and the mobs on a bad faction, but they still wont attack, I am sitting in front of one who is threatening and it wont touch me. any ideas?

Actually, I just tested, they will assist me! Thanks a ton. But for some reason mobs wont agro me when they spawn.
Edit: DOH! I was set to lvl 255 when the mob was much lower, thanks again.
