How can you make bixies KOS to guards?

[EQstarr]

I've been messing around with faction tables to make those annoying bixies KOS to the guards like some of the other animals, but it doesn't seem to work. Bixies are on a Primary Faction of Stone Hive Bixies.

What I've tried doing is adding Stone Hive Bixies as Aggressive to the guards faction list at 0 points (like KOS animal, etc. already are). No luck.

0 Points is for player faction only. You want the npc_faction and npc_faction_entries table for what you are trying to do. You can read up on them on the wiki here:

These are the tables I'm messing with actually. Here's what I have. Maybe I'm missing something?

INSERT INTO `npc_faction_entries` (`npc_faction_id`, `faction_id`, `value`, `npc_value`) VALUES (218, 313, 0, -1);
INSERT INTO `npc_faction` (`id`, `name`, `primaryfaction`, `ignore_primary_assist`) VALUES (218, 'Hamburglars', 133, 0);
INSERT INTO `faction_list` (`id`, `name`, `base`, `mod_c1`, `mod_c2`, `mod_c3`, `mod_c4`, `mod_c5`, `mod_c6`, `mod_c7`, `mod_c8`, `mod_c9`, `mod_c10`, `mod_c11`, `mod_c12`, `mod_c13`, `mod_c14`, `mod_c15`, `mod_c16`, `mod_r1`, `mod_r2`, `mod_r3`, `mod_r4`, `mod_r5`, `mod_r6`, `mod_r7`, `mod_r8`, `mod_r9`, `mod_r10`, `mod_r11`, `mod_r12`, `mod_r14`, `mod_r60`, `mod_r75`, `mod_r108`, `mod_r120`, `mod_r128`, `mod_r130`, `mod_r161`, `mod_r330`, `mod_d140`, `mod_d201`, `mod_d202`, `mod_d203`, `mod_d204`, `mod_d205`, `mod_d206`, `mod_d207`, `mod_d208`, `mod_d209`, `mod_d210`, `mod_d211`, `mod_d212`, `mod_d213`, `mod_d214`, `mod_d215`, `mod_d216`) VALUES (313, 'Stone Hive Bixies', -1000, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
INSERT INTO `npc_faction` (`id`, `name`, `primaryfaction`, `ignore_primary_assist`) VALUES (736, 'A_Bixie', 313, 0);

If I'm reading this correctly, the "Hamburglar" halfling guards see Primary Faction of 313 as -1 which is Ready to Attack. Stone Hive Bixies has a faction ID of 313. And 313 is set as the primary faction for "a_bixie". What did I miss?

You're correct, that's how it's done. 0 is used when you want an NPC to be KOS/Assist another, without having a faction hit when you kill that NPC.

But, which database are you using? (I assume PEQ since I created the Hamburglar faction.) Bixies already are KOS to the guards in the database. I just tried it out in-game and worked fine. Do any NPCs attack others on your setup?
