plugin::ScaleTrash

[Akkadius]

Township does work with me directly, if his plugin didn't make sense from a practicality/use standpoint I would have been straight open and honest about it before it found its way here.

The DB field in npc_types only affects the inital spawn, this is only to scale on the fly via script to set the key for my scaling system.

It is a simple addition, to use or not to use is up to the end user.

I am looking for a way to scale only certain NPC's. I dont want to scale the whole zone.

Is it possible?
if so how?

yeah.. you can use default.pl to control any npc in the zone provided they don't already have their own script.

Here is a very simple example of doing that.

quests/zonesn/default.pl

sub EVENT_SPAWN {
	$nn = $npc->GetCleanName();	
	
	if($nn=~/skeleton/i) {
		$npc->SetLevel(60);		#:: Set all npcs in the zone with 'skeleton' in their name to level 60
	}
	
	if($nn eq "Fippy Darkpaw") {
		$npc->SetLevel(75);		#:: Set any npc with the name 'Fippy Darkpaw' to level 75
	}
}

If Akk's scaling system would work for only certain NPC's then that would be what I need.

This is a special event so the NPC's in question are only spawned during the event.

NPC's are all named A_Thief
no other NPC's contain that name.
So the above script could work IF I could get Akk's leveling system to work.

I have dug around a bit and the links to Akk's leveling system seem broken, I keep getting error 404..

Another issue is he posted that it wont work with some DB.

I guess what I need is a walk through on how to install the system on my DB
I am not a super coder, I know perl but not alot else.

Yeah my scaling system is definitely out of date - I can look at refreshing the documentation tonight or tomorrow potentially

[Aardil]

That would be great!

Thank you

Not trying to sound pushy but any progress on this?
