NPC default appearance

[jdoran]

Thanks, but I'm wondering if there is a way to set this in the database. I have a Perl solution already, I just don't want to create Perl scripts for a bunch of new mobs just so they can be dead.

A lot of appearance-related information is already kept, I am figuring this must be as well.

i don't think it's stored in the database anywhere. otherwise, there wouldn't be scripts that set appearance periodically like in tutorialb.

(maybe this would be something that lua would be ideal for?)

regardless, you don't have to set individual scripts for every npc you want to change appearance like this. just use the zone's default.pl or the global_npc.pl in the templates folder.
