Question on models /textures

Just curious when making an NPC, can you control anything other than gender, race and texture ? Can you control stuff in their hands and such ? I am going by the old guide in PDF format.

You sure can. Follow http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...egoryCreateNPC and at the bottom it shows you how to add an NPC in-game with items in primary and secondary slots.

You can also use Georges Tools http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=32282 and add just about anything to your NPC after you have made him and used "#npcspawn create" to add it into the db.

Oh crap, I did not know the plus sign in George's tools did anything.

Going to try to ask this in the same topic, should be an easy question. What is the general rule on making certain race sizes ? Like is a Vah-Shir a 6 or 8, a gnome a 4 or 5 ?

Code:

SELECT distinct race, size

FROM

npc_types

WHERE (race >= '1' AND race <= '12') AND (size >= '3' AND size <= '9')

ORDER BY race ASC;

Would just have to poke in race= for iksar, vah-shir and drakin if you needed that info.
On my test db this returned interesting values so I inserted id in the select line so I could go check out what each odd sized npc was doing.
I limited my search to sizes between 3 and 9 because I remember reading on the wiki or a post how short races should be around size 3 and I know there are some custom npc in the stock peq db with size values greater then 15 and did not think I would see any large race over size 9.

Interesting post, gave me a chance to google up sql stuff and figure out how to do this search. Might not be useful or the best way but at least I learned something, hope it helps you.

I am sure it will help me. Hopefully I will have some time today to do some more research.
