Npc Names

[NonStopCoding]

Hello i have been having some problems with the npcs there is still a couple things i don't understand

The mesh in the npc table ??

when i try to use a mesh lets use the tokenawarder for example the mesh was 1337

when i open up the game and look at my new npc it has the same name as the tokenawarder

i know there is ini folder in the client with a npc.ini but i don't quite understand that either

sorry if these are stupid questions but i am quite confused so many numbers lol

Unless the packet contains a specified name, the default name will resort to the one given by its mesh.
The end of the packet contains offset for the name, check the structures.

i gave the npc a name of General West in the npcs/twincity folder i added him in using visual studio but i dont know what to use if i wanted a custom npc name do i just hit a random number for mesh or do i need to do something different in the ini/npc.ini

[NpcType133] (whats this?)
Name=Helper
SimpleObjID=1 (?)
StandByMotion=999001100
BlazeMotion=999001190
RestMotion=999001101
Effect=none
ASB=5
ADB=6
FixDir=0

Reading through that thread should give you enough information on how to do custom NPC names.

still learning these words by packet i am guessing you mean the npc file

npc -> twincity -> [10189]General West.cs

what i need to know is do i need to touch the inf folder in client side to make new npcs?

i did manage to get my npc name to change but it did not show a picture and also if i wanted a custom npc what do i set mesh to i think i tried the same as my npc id
