Hi all

i am trying to implement some low level dragons, although the spawn is there, it just looks like a human character.

I changed all the spec in the database to match vox for example, texture and size and everything, but it still looks like a human. All the other dragons like vox, gorenaire DO look like dragons, even though I have copied their spec.

If there is NO Dragon in that specific Zone then you can't use a Dragon in there, because the models are not implemented into the ***.s3d. Thats the Problem why you get a Human Character instead.

So the graphical model in the s3d for each zone is linked to an object in the SQL database for each mob monster?

can you, and would you want to, edit the s3d?

Well, im not sure how the s3d is made, and where the models are.
This files must have been analyzed before you could do any changes on them....

btw. every player that goes on your server, must have thoose changed files also to see the models right if playing on your server

I read this somewhere on the message boards. I hope it helps.

The zone .s3d file determines what MOBs are available in the zone.
There is no way to tell what _all_ the MOBs in a zone are. There are too many combinations to try to get them all by trial and error. You can look in DBs to find MOBs that are already known to be in the .s3d file for a zone.

Actually, you can put any mob in any zone, but only you can view it or those who do the same change as you.

Take global_chr.s3d and rename it to whatever. Take a zone with a monster in it that you want to mimic in a zone that normally dosn't have it, and rename the file to global_chr.s3d. So if you want a dragon, take soldungb_chr.s3d and rename it to global_chr.s3d.

Thats all, now you have your dragon in any zone. If you seriously wanted it that way, you could make players download a new global_chr.s3d from a website or have them make the change themselves.

As was said (but only in subject), most npc's that don't show a gender are gender 2 ( #gender 2 ), otherwise, you see a blank human...
