Question regarding lookfaces

[geekbar21]

i have pets in my client that arent in my db i am trying to add them but i dont know how to find/relate lookfaces to the correct pets.

[DuaSelipar]

ani/petface.ani just follow the eud id and the dds location

[geekbar21]

i meant more as db side in cq_monstertype
example below:

 Spoiler

what determines bloodphantoms lookface being 295?

3dobj

 Spoiler

317000000=c3/monster/289/1.c3

3dsimpleobj

 Spoiler

[ObjIDType317]
PartAmount=1
Part0=317000000
Texture0=317000000

[ObjIDType295]
PartAmount=1
Part0=295000000
Texture0=295000000

when checking 295000000.dds in client that is one of the peppys

im trying to understand the relation of where 295 comes from for the lookface.

I think it should be from 3dsimpleobj for the lookface. What type database did you use? Classic one or db 2.0?

[geekbar21]

classic with classic client using tears client and has alot of pets but not in db

Hi there! Not sure if this will help you or not, but just a heads-up: the classic lookface for monstertypes only works within the range of 1–1000.

Whenever you set a value in the lookface field in cq_monstertype, you need to check the following:

3DSimpleObj.ini – This is where you define the lookface entry that the client will use for the NPC or monster.

For example, lookface = 295. You would look for:

 Spoiler

[ObjIDType295] ; Lookface ID
PartAmount=1 ; Amount of Texture/Mesh
Part0=295000000 ; Mesh ID
Texture0=295000000 ; Texture ID

3DSimpleRole.ini – This controls how the object is displayed in the eudemon bag, such as its size and position.

For example:

 Spoiler

Look = xx ; ObjID
Size = xx ; Size
XPos = xx ; Left / Right
YPos = xx ; Up / Down

armor.ini – This is where the actual monster appearance is defined.

The three-digit number from the lookface field acts as the indicator. So if the lookface in cq_monstertype is 295, you would look for the corresponding 295000000 entry in armor.ini.

For example:

 Spoiler

[295000000]
Part=1
Mesh0=295000000 ; Mesh ID
Texture0=295000000 ; Texture ID
MixTex0=0
MixOpt0=0
Asb0=5
Adb0=6
Material0=default

This is where you define which mesh and texture the client should use for that particular monster appearance.

The important part is that 295 is the lookface indicator, which leads to 295000000 in the client, and the armor.ini entry is what defines the actual mesh and texture used to display the monster.

Hope this helps answer your question!

Warm regards,

so theoretically i could use any number as my lookface regardless of what the .dds/.c3 are
as long as the client points to the right direction like so:
lookface 999

[ObjIDType999] ; Lookface ID
PartAmount=1 ; Amount of Texture/Mesh
Part0=112500000 ; Mesh ID
Texture0=112500000 ; Texture ID

and armor.ini would be like so:

[1125000000]
Part=1
Mesh0=112500000 ; Mesh ID
Texture0=112500000 ; Texture ID
MixTex0=0
MixOpt0=0
Asb0=5
Adb0=6
Material0=default

As long as the LookFace ID is between 1–999 and is not occupied, you can use any available number.

No. In armor.ini, you need to use the 3 IDs that you set in the cq_monstertype lookFace field, not the texture ID. The texture ID is the .dds file that you call from your client. So, in your case, it should be 999000000 in your armor.ini.
