NPC's Won't attack even when KOS? - Page 2

I did the #gm off and then i put my status and the status of everything i can see to 0 but they won't attack me, even restarted the server and relogged. =(
Any other ideas or something I could do? It's just not everquest without tons of mobs all wanting a piece of me.

Did you download the maps file and extract it to the maps directory for your emu install. (make sure that it didn't extract to /maps/maps/) I did that once and nothing would attack me then I found that my maps directory had a maps directory with the files under that.

But I've been playing with a status of 250 at lvl 65 and have the decaying skeletons attack my in Nektulos Forest, and the two Skeletons on the way out of Paineel to Toxxulia Forest attack me (but I was lvl 1 going to tox).

Yes, recheck your maps folder. I'm level 70 on my server and the skeltons in west freport always attack me if I get near them ... as they do in live as well. So, something is not where it should be...

Ahh yes, maps. I keep forgetting those, since I don't think they change much.

I'm sure faction is not an issue, if they are scowling. Could it be aggro radius? I notice some NPCs do not respond to Hail until I am standing square on top of them.

Well I had that problem originally and I could not attack any mobs because of line of sight. I still can't cast attack spells but I had moved the maps into my eq emu and bang attacking npcs worked everytime except some flying mobs i have trouble hitting....

the only thing i did do that "might" have an effect is i had all the maps from eq toolbox in there as well. would that have any reason to interfere?

Ok I tried using just the basic maps and that did not fix it either, i tried starting 100% over with the server and mysql nd everything and still npc's will not attack.
Here is the lowdown....
i am using:

EQEmu-0.7.0-845.zip

ActivePerl-5.8.8.816-MSWin32-x86-255195.zip

mysql-4.0.23-win.zip

EQEmuServerPack-3.52.exe

EQEmuServerPack-Config.exe

1. The npc's have faction and are kos
2. #gm off is used and server restarted
3. status in db for that char is set to 0, server restarted
4. maps are placed in the correct folder. furthermore the maps are strictly the ones you start with so I could see if the toolbox ones were the problem.

Results are npc's that con KOS but will not agro by radius. They will however attack when provoked.

help please I am really trying and this is the most info I can offer.

Ok I had used a tutorial that didn't explain the maps I stupidly thought the txt file maps were what was called for but now I get it... yeah this fixed the problem...yes I am stupid. I would like to thank everyone for putting up with me and helping me get this working. I DO try to research how to fix the problem I just misunderstood what was really needed.

I only slept 2 hours and 5 hours the next day because I spent so much time trying to get all this together.... =(

Dear god I am obsessed with this game... I keep comming back.....

Don't be so hard on yourself bro, we all have done it and will do it again.....

You sort of tipped me off when you mentioned that you also had the maps from Mapfiend in there....
