Moving NPC's Anyone? [added links, updated 4/15]
 

This is my first test release, based on Drawdes DB.
Only 4 zones so far , check it out and give feedback (too fast, too slow......) , I'm getting more zones ready and will have an updated version in a few days. The moving zones are west commons,east commons, north qeynos, and qeynos hills.
I'm including the EXE's I have been using , they are stable and aggro is working. (Note: the DB is complete , just add account and character info)


Well, seems i can't add attachments right now, I'll try later.
ARRRGGG!!!! still won't let me add attachment :(

can anyone else post attachments?

The first link in your post is wrong, but other than that, awesome work!! I played around in East Commons for a while and the moving mobs are just awesome! Very nice work!!

Having no luck with links
 

I would love to see you work, but I am having no luck with either or your links. Just looking forward to giving this version a spin.

Thanks,
Griston :D

Would love to help
 

I'd be more than willing to try it out - i've been looking for a wandering mob DB for a while, but neither of the links work!

update those links pleeasse I'd love to try it out :0

Wow, even better than before!!! I hope Drawde can keep this stuff included when he releases his updates! Or at least we can export/import this into any updates. This is some awesome work! Keep it up!

Btw, if you do work with grids, please dont use 1-4. These are reserved for the boats I added to the next version of the emu.

Just send Drawde a note and ask him if he can incorporate them into his databases. He's a great fellow, I doubt he would mind a bit.

Thanks for the heads-up......
 

I started my grids at 1000 , so should be plenty of room for grids before these :)

I'll load it up on Paranor tonight and give it a shot. Sounds like you've done a great job with it !

You didnt happen to flesh out the newbie zones a bit more have you? I've noticed that most of them are a little dry on 'filler' material...

I didn't add any npc's but.........
 

I'm just activating movement in the zones , but that makes a world of difference in newbie zones, they walk right up on you in the middle of a fight , gets interesting :)
Hope to have 2nd line in a couple days , and should have some more updates soon.
Let me know what zones you'd like activated (preferebly populated in Drawdes DB) and I'll work on those.
There are a couple zones with some wild waypoints, still trying to find them , but for the most part , it's very playable.

My 1st requests would be all newbie zone areas (Field of Bone, Everfrost, Misty, the freports, qeynos hills, innothule, etc.) , then the outlying areas. Most of those I think you've done, but I havent checked for sure yet.

Then would be the karanas, and the various remaining old world zones.

I'd like to see the old world zones 1st + the Luclin newbie zone, then Kurnark. Since those are my favorite 2... (Dont care much for Velious).

Just my 2 cents. I think starting at the low level areas and working up makes sense...

Very nice to see a pathing db starting to form. I'll see about trying to incorporate some of it into the Evertorn DB to give it a test on the waypoints and pauses and such.

5 more zones moving......
 

Here's the 5 you mentioned in post Trump (link on 1st post updated with new zones).
I really don't know all the starting and newbie zones , I only played EQ Live for about 2 months total :)
But............
If you could make me a list of the newbie and starting areas , I'd be glad to get them moving A.S.A.P. , the movement adds so much more to the game .

Is this an add on or do I have to dump my old database? Whichever it is good job on it. Bringing Emu one step closer to reality :lol: .

Scruffdog

you can dump you chars and accounts...
 

Just dump your accounts and chars and faction_values from old DB
create new DB source the .sql file in zip , source in your dumps and go :)


instructions on dumping that info here -
