GM NPCs Last name problem
 

Hrm, my eyes are blurring over from this...

Where is the titles(last names) for the GM NPC's, ya know, the ones that are classes that say "GM Enchanter" etc...?

I don't like that they say GM, I would like to change it to Grand Master or Trainer or honestly anything other than GM because its not correct in my eyes as is.

Any help? which table is it that controls that tag? because when I changed the NPC's last name to "Grand Master Class" in the npc's table, it doesn't show that, it shows "GM Class" instead and I cant seem to find that part of the database that controls that tag.

There is only so much you can take when reading through the database going on hunches.

Thanks for the help in advance.

It is the npc_types table. Did you restart your server after changing the name? I seem to remember running into that GM (Class) issue before.

note: all gm npcs will AUTOMATICALLY show GM CLASS in their sub name, if you force repop them. Even if you have changed their sub name to something else.

Yup, that was it. That's why you just should restart server rather than #repop

you just zone out =P

That makes too much sense!!

yes, but is there a way to change that?

what the last names? sure- in the same table where all other data about npcs are: npc_types

Yes. Don't change the name while the zone is running.

ok, let me rephrase that lol...

where do you change that "automatic" population of the default name "GM Class" to always show even when you #repop the zone, i dont want that to show EVER, or is that in the source and I should start looking there?

btw, you CAN change the lastname while the zone is running, just #repop pulls the new info from the database and shows up just fine for other NPC's that are not GM's because GM's are pulling that default name, which is what I want to change not just change the lastname, I know how to do that.

Ah, sorry. Should be in the server code.
