Hello,
First off id like to wish everyone a happy Easter, and hope you all had a wonderful day with family/kids.
I'm trying to add World Buffs to my server, as a permanent server buff. I'm not having any luck with it, Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction, or maybe even willing to tell me what to do. Thank you for your time

Buffs did not start to work on my servers until I ran the billing SMP fixes.

e.g.
normal code for naga s5 :
/run insert_item(540059,1, 5 , 0, -2147483648,"charname")
/run insert_item(itemi_d(card_id),Quantity, stage , 0, (tamed),(Character_Name))

You can use this method for the old pets (not soul pet).
For soul pets you should use one of the following commands:
1.insert_summon_by_monster_id(monster_id)
2.insert_summon_by_summon_id(summon_id)

Or simply download SoulPetHelper.exe from here:

Is there a tool or an easy way to activate and deactivate event boxes like the rain drops or lucky boxes? Or do you have to add them into the drop groups and then remove them when your event is over?

I am now getting a new error.

2015-04-07 12:11:17 Failed: DB_GetCommercialStorageInfo(0x80040E57) PendingTime: 0.000317(s), WorkingTime: 0.003285(s)

I ran the sql's that ismoke posted to fix the billing smp's. Old accounts still got this error but new accounts didn't. I just had a new account get this error. Do I need to add something on the account to fix it?

I have done more testing on this error. The error is being caused by a character and not the entire account. If the account has 2 characters on it and I move the bad character to another account, the good character will work and not receive the above error.

Anyone else having a problem with custom npc's, I cannot get my npc to show in game on the 9.1 server, I had no problem with older servers, using an existing npc, change the local flag to 0, insert my x and y and all worked fine

Might be same thing Thndr helped a guy in my guide with, are you using Arabic SFRAME or 9.1 stock SFRAME?

Using the current US live SFRAME

Then it is most certainly a local_flag issue, make sure to read my how-to closely.

[bluedev]

Have you run the smp billing fix ismoke posted?
Is this setting:

T:game.cash_usable_server:1

set to 0?

If I set it to 0, I couldn't see certain NPC's even if the local flag was correct.

If the local flag isn't the issue try to change your file name(db_npcresource.rdb) to db_npcresource(ascii).rdb or hashed ===> h;Jb}xSTbREZAoEm-d^&2csTgS0 then copy this file to your resource folder.
