How to determine if entity is an offline shop?

[Drenden]

Hello everyone,

i want to write a small utility script that counts offline shops on server.
I have entity list in my python script but offline shops have the same instance type as NPCs or player pets. How to differentiate them? Is there a function in some module that returns true if a specific VID is an offline shop? If not - what would be the best way to do it? Thanks

get the base adress of entity then use that address dissecting windows on cheat engine,
then 1st offset (not from the top, metin2.exe+1234e,first,second) is the main entity, and usually mob ids 8 on the second offset(you can go 4 bytes further or backwards to double check), that will return the mobid rest is your imagination.

so look for: metin2.exe+1234e, first,8
