Most zones post GoD are rather incomplete in regards to faction setting and stats. You can make changes to the NPCs in OoW and any other zone you choose through the npc_types table. I would highly recommend taking a look into georges tools though. The interfaces make editing the database very user friendly. To make NPCs aggro however you will want to edit their faction id. An ID of 79 is a general KOS faction.

As far as getting to WoS through the guild porter, I believe your normal accounts cant get their because OoW+ zones have a minimum status setting by default since PEQ has not reached those stages, so they keep those zones off limits to their players. You can change these settings in the zone table of the database by editing the min_status to 0.

Here are the only errors that were reported in any of the logs.

I have redownloaded and redone the server a few times already, and I have not found these .path files in any folder or subfolder. I don't know if these missing files would cause quest npc's to intermittently answer hails, or seeing incorrect graphics for particular mobs, or having an incorrect image in the guild hall or not.

Thank you MarioMario. I tried it with my 250 flagged account and the guild portal still didn't work. I can only go to pre pop zones. I can set the teleporter to another zone like dragonscale hills, but when I step into the porter nothing happens. Again that is with a 250 flagged account, not gm flagged and xp and level set to 65. I found the gm commands and leveled the character up to 65, without being gm flagged, just to try the porter as a level 65 toon.

Inside of the guild hall quest folder, the player.pl is where your problem lies. This is where the answer for the pop up occurs.

Code:

sub EVENT_POPUPRESPONSE {
  if ($popupid == 666) { #hateplaneb
    quest::movepc(186,-393,656,3);
  }
  if ($popupid == 674) { #airplane
    quest::movepc(71,539,1384,-664);
  }
  if ($popupid == 15891) { #dragonscale
    #quest::movepc(442,-1954,3916,19);
  }
  if ($popupid == 2708) { #northkarana
    quest::movepc(13,1209,-3685,-5);
  }
  if ($popupid == 4176) { #ecommons
    quest::movepc(22,-140,-1520,3);
  }
  if ($popupid == 534) { #lavastorm
    quest::movepc(27,460,460,-86);
  }
  if ($popupid == 2707) { #tox
    quest::movepc(38,-916,-1510,-33);
  }
  if ($popupid == 2706) { #gfaydark
    quest::movepc(54,-441,-2023,4);
  }
  if ($popupid == 2709) { #dreadlands
    quest::movepc(86,9658,3047,1052);
  }
  if ($popupid == 2284) { #iceclad
    quest::movepc(110,385,5321,-17);
  }
  if ($popupid == 2031) { #coboltscar
    quest::movepc(117,-1634,-1065,299);
  }
  if ($popupid == 3615) { #twilight
    quest::movepc(170,-1028,1338,39);
  }
  if ($popupid == 3794) { #stonebrunt
    quest::movepc(100,673,-4531,0);
  }
  if ($popupid == 6180) { #wallofslaughter
    #quest::movepc(300,-943,13,130);
  }
  if ($popupid == 5733) { #barindu
    quest::movepc(283,209,-515,-119);
  }
  if ($popupid == 8237) { #eastkorlach
    #quest::movepc(362,-750,-1002,48);
  }
  if ($popupid == 8967) { #arcstone
    #quest::movepc(369,1630,-279,5);
  }
  if ($popupid == 999) { #mesa
    #quest::movepc(397,-85,-2050,19);
  }
  if ($popupid == 1000) { #guild banner
    #not implemented yet
  }
  if ($popupid == 416) { #kattacastrum
    #quest::movepc(416,-2,-425,-19);
  }
  if ($popupid == 20543) { #potimea
    quest::movepc(219,0,110,8);
  }
  if ($popupid == 21986) { #brellsrest
    #quest::movepc(480,-23,-619,36);
  }
}

The # before some of those quest::movepc means that line is commented out so perl wont execute those particular lines. This is why the porter wont send you to those zones.

I will remove the comment's from the lines. Thank you for your help.

Don't worry about the .path files. The .map files are the important ones.

When you say intermittently respond to hails, I assume that you are not standing close enough to the NPCs.

Incorrect graphics for mobs may be the client for the era of zone you are going into. Not all zones are complete.

I am standing close enough. I will go to the npc, and hit the H key to hail it, and nothing will happen. I will then rapidly hit the H key a number of times and after 15 to 20 hails will get a response. This happens to the npc standing near the soulbinder in PoK. None of the other NPC's in any of the other zones will respond at all, no matter how close I stand to them.

I am using Secrets of Faydwer Client, not updated. I believe that one has all of the updates to the new zones. The old Freeport West doesn't have the correct graphics, which I can understand, since the SoF client has the new graphics, but the new Steamfont zone doesn't have its graphics correct, the old zone does.

Ok, that is fine with me. If it can't be used, then it can't be used. I still have issues with a missing guild hall door, which came out with PoP, the clicky portal to Jagged Pine Forest, located in the cave in Surefall Glade. I believe that came out before GoD. Also with bad graphics in old Feeport West. All the mobs there look human. Outside of Freeport west things seem to be pretty normal except with a few quest NPC's that don't respond to Hails, like the exterminator in Queynos. Again, thank you for your help.

If you want to do a bunch of work you can have post GoD zones working. (Basically they need db/quest work done)

Thank you demonstar, I looked at that a while ago and didn't do it because I used a different version of the client. As a test I reinstalled an old version of EQ (Everquest Trilogy), I have older versions, but that seemed to fix the UI problems I was having in Freeport. There is a minor detail though, I had to copy all of the Freeport files from the older client to the new one to get it to work. When I selected the files he pointed out I still had the same problem so I just copied everything that said Freport on it. That worked. Still looking around in the forums to find solutions to my other problems. Thank you for your help.

SoltanHeatwave · #12 12-07-2013, 04:07 PM

I got everything on the server side running except for the Mercenaries. I attempted to follow some suggestions on this forum for incorporating them, but the files they mention don't appear in any of my server, sql, or source folders.

Instead I think I will just give up on the idea of Mercs on the server and re configure the whole thing without the bots. Thank you for your help guys.
