I've been coding my pserver for a while now and I've started to create NPCs for quests and stuff. the only problem i have at the moment is that i don't know how to edit NPC names (i can only use currently existing NPCs and duplicate them.)
I was wondering if anyone could point in me the right direction as to how to edit their names or show me a thread that gives a walk through(and i don't need my hand held through it just a brief explanation will do xP).
NPC names are client-sided. Whenever you send a show-NPC packet to the client, it contains an NPC ID and the client then gets the name from npc.ini using the ID.

I believe as I'm not sure if TQ removed this functionality of not, but you can extend the structure of the NPC Spawn packet so that you can explicitly send a name of an NPC to the client too (which will override looking up the name in the *.ini file).

. Never tried/knew that. You remember what byte location the NPC name starts at? I wanna try it out .

Wow, this is useful information.
Never knew this.
Thanks for sharing

It works for all.
Open your client and ini folder.
Then click on NPC.ini
Then copy a npc and edit name and UID.
I know that part is right. What I need is to know how to change it in the database. Because if I put in a type that doesn't exist(i created) it turns into a shopkeeper. Any ideas?
Is what your looking for, what your struggling with is the last part in this guide.
which part? step 6? were it says:
Code:
Step6. Time to know what ID you are going to use for the NPC, the ID you just put in step above is it, but you gotta multiply by 10. So I am going to choose the ID 1987. And the Type ID I would use would be 19870.
i have tried that but i still think im doing something wrong. pls tell me what the subtype should be cuz i think thats my problem
