Yeah, I was messing with 770 a little and found that my client crashed if I attacked the NPC while it was invisible.
Good find on the special i-codes. I totally forgot I'd turned off spell effects for something or other. I totally missed them because of that!
The only thing I haven't found that I've been looking for is beard color, and I'm kicking myself for not having the foresight to make sure my test NPCs had beards while I was looking for hairstyle and haircolor. Bonehead.
I also figured out that some races (high elves for one) get their facial hair not from the beard field, but from a tens-digit offset to the face field. This also appears to be the way Barbarians get their woads.
Checks for these should probably be put into the OP_ZoneSpawns area there to check the race and (if necessary) dynamically adjust the eq->face field by (beard * 10) for beard-face races. I'm guessing we'll have to add some fields to npc_types to allow for face decorations like woads (if race == Barb, face += face_decoration*10) and Drakkin spikes, as well as Drakkin tattoos and heritage.
