Faction not working on new mobs

I have the latest server with the latest DB and latest SQL updates.

I first cleared the entire "freporte" zone by dropping all entries in the spawn2 table with freporte as their zone. I then created two factions, assigned them to two mobs, but both con indifferent and give no faction hits when killed.

Here is the entries in faction_list:

Code:

| id   | name                     | base | (mod rows)|

| 4000 | Justicars_of_Rodcet_Nife | -750 |      0 |

| 4001 | The_Unholy_Bertox_Guard  |  250 |      0 |

Entries in npc_faction:

Code:

+------+--------------------------+----------------+-----------------------+

| id   | name                     | primaryfaction | ignore_primary_assist |

+------+--------------------------+----------------+-----------------------+

| 5000 | The_Unholy_Bertox_Guard  |           4001 |                     0 |

| 5001 | Justicars_of_Rodcet_Nife |           4000 |                     0 |

+------+--------------------------+----------------+-----------------------+

Entries in npc_faction_entries:

Code:

+----------------+------------+-------+-----------+

| npc_faction_id | faction_id | value | npc_value |

+----------------+------------+-------+-----------+

|           5000 |       4000 |   100 |        -1 |

|           5000 |       4001 | -1000 |         1 |

|           5001 |       4000 |   -10 |         1 |

|           5001 |       4001 |    10 |        -1 |

+----------------+------------+-------+-----------+

4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Section from npc_type (the faction numbers are wrong probably because I was changing numbers):

Code:

| id     | name                   | lastname | level | race | class | bodytype | hp    | gender | texture | helmtexture | size | hp_regen_rate | mana_regen_rate | loottable_id | merchant_id | npc_spells_id | npc_faction_id |

Any ideas?

You wan them to aggro each other? Did you set npc_aggro to 1 in the npc_types table?

Agro each other or me, right now they both con indifferent and do nothing. They don't even give a faction hit for killing them.

Just tried editing an existing faction and it worked fine, still no go on custom factions.

Just tried editing an existing faction, I thought it worked, but it did not. I tell it to use faction 1070 and it shows 1070 when I do #showstats, but the faction hits are that of faction #843. There is definitely something wrong here.

So, I tried dropping the entire contents of factions_list, factions_values, npc_faction, npc_faction_entries and what I get from it is that the factions do not update even after a world reboot. I created a faction of id 2, with a default of -100, yet the mob is still apprehensively with an empty faction_values? Even when you kill the mob, there is not faction hit even when npc_faction_entries is populated?

I'm at a loss for why this would not update after a world restart.

Shortly after editing the factions in real time, zone crashed with this:

[Debug] [ZONE__INIT] Loading npc faction lists
SharedMemory->datasize(409360) != iSize(200656), or 0x7f684da72000==-1, We can rebuild him faster better STRONGER!
Or not.. restart all servers on this machine

I also checked the logs I see errors from when I initially setup, but nothing since then.

Every time a zone boots up I see "[Debug] [ZONE__INIT] Loading npc faction lists" but even with -2500 faction rating faction 1 shows indiff and faction 2 apprehensively

Fixed it, needed to compile cleanipc and run it.
