A real world example working with factions

[So_1337]

There isn't too much consistency, unfortunately. Using an example most people would be familiar with, check out one of the giants in Kael. (You may have to click "login as guest", then try the link again.)

Killing one will give you +10 faction for Coldain and Claws of Veeshan, and -30 to all of the Giant factions. That's usually the scale used, if not the exact values. 10 and 30 are pretty big hits. I'd drop a zero off each if we were worried about using a more Live-like faction. However, having negative hits weighted 3:1 over positive hits seems to be pretty accurate.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I will start using that web front end, it looks pretty friendly.

If you need a hand installing it, VeteranWizard wrote a great guide over at PEQ's forums.

Well I am running a different setup than any of those listed so the guide did me no good, does anyone know where in the NPC table / which NPC table the "faction hits on death" are stored?

[So_1337]

The "npc_faction" and "npc_faction_entries" tables.

And I'm unsure what you mean about running a different setup. The PHP editor that you seemed to like requires Apache and PHP to run under Windows. Are you using Linux?

I am running it in IIS.

We are developing more of a web frontend for the server that might get shared out to the community but it uses ASP.NET with C# backend.

Ah, okay. Yeah, I ran into issues trying to run Apache and PHP with IIS, so I wound up disabling the IIS until there's something I really want to use with it. Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on that, I'll leave you to it =) Sounds like your knowledge trumps mine, haha.
