I made a change to my server awhile ago and forgot to commit the changes when I recompiled the server. I added beastlord as a playable class to gnomes but I forgot how to change the base pet they get to a custom pet. any thoughts where I should look to make the change?

Check line 335 in pets.cpp:

Code:

if(record.petnaming == 2)

{

    switch(GetBaseRace())

    {

    case VAHSHIR:

        npc_type->race = TIGER;

        npc_type->size *= 0.8f;

        break;

    case TROLL:

        npc_type->race = ALLIGATOR;

        npc_type->size *= 2.5f;

        break;

    case OGRE:

        npc_type->race = BEAR;

        npc_type->texture = 3;

        npc_type->gender = 2;

        break;

    case BARBARIAN:

        npc_type->race = WOLF;

        npc_type->texture = 2;

        break;

    case IKSAR:

        npc_type->race = WOLF;

        npc_type->texture = 0;

        npc_type->gender = 1;

        npc_type->size *= 2.0f;

        npc_type->luclinface = 0;

        break;

    default:

        npc_type->race = WOLF;

        npc_type->texture = 0;

    }

}

For a moment I was scratching my head and wondering why the Beastlord pet appearances are hard-coded, instead of coming from the database pet entry / NPCType, but then I remembered that all Beastlords cast the same spells, referencing the same pet entries, so the server -has- to do the appearance choosing based on the caster's race.
