Difference between files?
 
What's the difference between quest files that are NPC_NAME.pl and #NPC_NAME.pl and even __NPC_NAME.pl

does the leading # or __ make a difference ?

Thanks

you can have
Tunare
#Tunare
and
_Tunare
and even
#_Tunare

as 4 different mobs
but in game they all appear as Tunare

thats what the different script files are for

So, how would the game know what script to link to each mob ?

tunare = tunare.pl
_tunare = _tunare.pl
#tunare = #tunare.pl

Well, there are a few reasons to add a symbol or number in front of the name, but one is for when you have 2 NPCs that you want to have the same name in game, but want to have 2 separate scripts for them.

So, #Tunare may have one script, while Tunare has another, and _Tunare could have a 3rd different one. The script names have to match the NPC name exactly, other than apostrophes, which become dashes I think.
