editing npc names
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).
much thanks,
killerdiggs

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).

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?
thx

Somebody already posted that guide, this isn't really adding anything useful.

Appart from the fact that i mentioned that the bit hes having difficulty with is the last stage in the guide.
So hopefully he will revisit and make changes accordingly.

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
