if I try to change the appeariance through the database (NPC Resource),
it don't take effect...
in the table NPC Resource I can only change the the position of the npc, contact_script-name... but not the appeariance
may anyone tell me why there are splitting like face, hair_id, weapon_id... although my changes in this splitting don't take effect?
in my oppinion should the appeariance of an NPC be stored in the client resource... like the like the stringresouce is (!PWS)3rDAd3O'`dU+O}deN)

i cheked the client recource twice and I didn't find a file were I can change the apperiance of a NPC...
if there is such a file... may you tell me the name of it?

Also i am playing with the mind that some tables are made for easyer exporting client ressource files like this tool do...

you can chnage the npc names (and more) in you database and this tool create a client ressource file (!PWS)3rDAd3O'`dU+O}deN) out of it.

Thank you ALL

There are many DBs on the serverside with no purpose. maybe those are left-over cause their were serverside before but as is said: Many things which are clientsided are in the server two. Maybe for GamGuard issues.

Hey guys,

I'm having the same problem as this guy, tho I did everything correct. (I think) he solved it, but didnt add how O.O

I selected a NPC in dbo.npcresource with flag NOT 0, set it to 0, edited the X & Y coordinate and edited the contact script to: NPC_custom_one_contact()

then i picked a .lua (npc_buff.lua) and made this function:

function NPC_custom_one_contact()
dlg_title( "customnpc" )
dlg_text( "hello" )
dlg_menu( "Menu", 'open_market("lalalalala")' )
dlg_menu( "close", '' )
end

when i login the npc is where i wanted him, but when i double click nothing happens. no error in chat window nothing.

anyone knows why ? O.O

[→Striker←]

function NPC_custom_one_contact()
dlg_title( "customnpc" )
dlg_text( "hello" )
dlg_menu( "Menu", 'open_market("lalalalala")' )
dlg_menu( "close", '' )
dlg_show()
end

maybe you forgot that line

[rappelz4u]

YES worked, thanks mate !!

Hello,

i've a question about a .lua code.
in an .lua-function of an NPC_Event_** there is this code

	dlg_title("@90605648")
	dlg_text("@90605672")

so i think 90605648 is a string_code for the dbo.StringResource

if i search this code (90605648) the dbo.StringResource.value is ??? ????

(in another Resource db)
if i search this code (90605648) the dbo.StringResource_de.value there is no entry

Now my question:

How can i change the text which is linked behind 90605648

Edit:
And where can i find it?

Or is the only way to set the text of a character in the Lua like:

dlg_text("I am just a NPC text")

[Minotaurus-Rappelz]

It's not the only way but it's much simpler

[asthos]

Ok sry it was too late and i had to look first at these 2 links,
for updating my string.Resource:



with using the Database Manager by Raskim


hm but now i am not shure if i edit a value in the DB if this is then editing the text of my server.
I think i have to edit this at the client, but how?
adjust me if i'm wrong.

[ThunderNikk]

If you make edits in the DB for most tables you then need to create a new rdb for the client.

Raskim's database manager can do most of the rdbs but the string resource has a lot of functions in the skill tool tips that may have to be edited manually.

Last I knew the database manager still caused client errors if you exported the string resource rdb to the client.

You do not have to reference a string number in the lua file like that though, you can also use your second method where you just quote the text...

dlg_text("I am just a NPC text")

And that will be your text.

Nope, the error's were caused of wrong importing way. :P
