Making NPC's

okay i want to make npc's have their own names
like when i make a new npc an use his type as 88
which is WHman
so his name comes up Warehouse man
how cann i make his name come up VIPStoreKeeper?

Npc names are all Client sided.
npc.ini

Edit the NPC.Ini in the client ini folder. Simply change the name to what you want ingame, and it's done. Make sure to patch all clients with the new NPC.Ini. You can also change the image used for the NPC, etc... Very handy when you wish to create a custom NPC for a quest or w/e. You'll have to mess around to find the proper numbers for that though, I don't have a list, and doubt anyone else does.

Edit: Damn it, you posted while I was typing, lol.

+k to both you guys
thanks alot!

Guards are Mobs, so it would be in the database.

I strongly don't recomend changing the guard name unless there has been a fix found.

As soon as you change their name they will go berserk and kill you the second you spawn even if you aren't flashing... fun fun.


Still looking for a fix for that but so far I just see everyone just changing the name back, no solutions with keeping the name diff.

In such a case, I'd simply recommend going into the source, searching for every line that holds the old name for the gaurd, then replacing them all with your new name. Perhaps that would fix the problem.
