player.pl is there npc.pl?

[Irreverent]

Don't see a default.pl in the templates folder. There is one in the quests/plugins directory but it looks more like a setup than an action file.

Tried using quests/zone/default.pl but the mobs aren't taking to it.

There is a default.pl in tutorialb with a hail = "Shh, I think I here the kobolds."

But, to test I hailed Guard Kaikachi and he doesn't respond to anything.

Is this the right file name or is it supposed to work?

Tried default.pl, did not work. Anyone have any insight on this one?

I don't believe that there is currently a way to access a default.pl file. Player quests were implemented by KLS to access the player.pl file, so I'd imagine something similar would have to be created for this case.

The templates folder is a way to place a single file for an NPC in all zones, such as the Nexus Scions. Rather than having to place the file every zone with a scion, one file can control them all.

This is a good idea, though, and I believe it's been talked about in the past. I'd be interested to see it so that return plug-ins could be created for every NPC easily, so that they'd return items. However, there would of course have to be an exception set so that pets wouldn't use the same file.

Good thinking, didn't even think about pets trying to use the same file.

Hopefully this is an easy thing to implement. It looks like someone wanted to do it since there was the default.pl in the tutorialb zone.

Any takers?
