[Tutorial] Starter NPC

oh noes he revived an old thread, let's have him killed.

umm, could you reupload the link, it doesnt work anymore, and i dont know how to use the dattool, so i really need a good description in the readme file, because if i download it from the internet they are for specific games

edit: i got something from another guy, but now how do i insert the .dat file back into the e.pk

perhaps you should be more clear about this in your tutorial

Great thanks for the information!

There is no error, I just click on "start" on my updater, updater closes but the game doesn't start...

What I dont get is why all these servers still use the click on class image/link to get your welcome pack..

Simple.. quest thats looks to see what class you are then gives the class items :/
Once you done the quest to cant do it again.. :) Also the quest wont take the starter weapon like most starter NPCs do..

E.pk

Code:

---

(filechk file_ver (country_type ENG) (filename A))
(background
 (font 12)
 (wrap 270)
 (link system ( param ( width 270) ( height 255) ( style title edge system vscroll) ( caption "Talk") ( layout script) ))
)
( frame ( font 12)
 ( line "[b] Do you want to start?")
 ( line "")
 ( link ( text "Yes Thankyou") ( param send quest 8750 1 ))
 ( link close ( text "[Talk End] I dont wanna start!"))
)

---

Note: You will need to edit the items in the quest as its from my old server an some of the items are custom
