Event and NPC problems

[McVinster]

I'm running hrace009's pw server release (which is frankly awesome) but I did something stupid because I was distracted the other day when I was editing NPCs.

I made a copy of the npcgen.data that I wanted to edit so that I wouldn't mess up but then I pasted it back in to the server files in the wrong place thanks to some noob tester needing constant attention.

Does anyone have a clean npcgen.data from the gamed/config folder (not any of the other maps) that I could have?
The only other way I can think of to get it back is to rollback my server BUT I'm not sure how. I used the backup button in PWAdmin and I've found the archives that it created but I have no idea what to do with them.

Another problem that we've been having lately is that the ADC Invasions have been stopping automatically after a few minutes and we don't know why. They were working fine when I first started the server and I hadn't changed any NPC behaviour when it happened.

Thanks for your time, let me know if you need any more info.

Strange... i got the same problem...

And i can't find a working npcgen for this

Tried few release (and some old where the invasion worked fine).

Thanks Zorno, you're a life saver.

I have no idea what went on with the invasions, especially because they were working just fine at first and I didn't change anything as far as I know, now they stop after a couple of minutes.

I've tried summoning the various bosses in case it was them not being there that triggered the stop, but even with all bosses none of the ADC waves stay longer than a few minutes.

I'll have a play about in ronny's NPCEdit but I'm really not sure what a lot of the parameters are because they only show up as "?".

Wish me luck for adding the Boutique Agent later...

EDIT: Ah poop, apparently just adding a clean npcgen.data didn't do anything, my TT forges (and loads of other stuff) is still missing.

2ND EDIT: Nevermind, rolled back to last week's server image. Good job I remembered to do one just before every attempt at an update!

are you sure talking about this file: /gamed/config/npcgen.data
i think npcgen for world is locate in /gamed/config/world/npcgen.data

In a way I was talking about both. I took the one from "world" folder and copied it to make changes, but then because I was distracted, I accidentally overwrote the one in "config" and loads of NPCs disappeared.

Tried replacing it with a clean one but there was no change in game.

I've fixed it with the rollback, and my testers will just have to cope with losing 4 days of work.

From now on I will ignore everything and everyone while doing updates.

i think this file /gamed/config/npcgen.data isn't used...
someone may have copied it accidentally here, i've deleted this file some time ago...

Hmm is the Boutique Agent working with this version?
It's the only NPC I've tried to put in atm, and I think I'm doing it right (the only guide I could find was for another NPCeditor and not ronny's), but I don't know if the NPC is working with this client version.



No idea if I'm doing this right or not, but that's what I've got atm.

[Kripter]

the important ones are labeled xD it worked for me. i dont see any thing wrong. then again i havent done that in months.

[McVinster]

Well, in other news my ADC invasions are working fine now!

Romulan, maybe like me you accidentally deleted an NPC record. I couldn't tell you which one it was but looking at my NPC list now from the one that wasn't working there's loads more records.

[Romulan]

Nah... I only added the Nirvana forges and the Warsoul Spirit on ADC...

I think the npcgen I got was already corrupt before I modify him.

Can you share me yours?

[McVinster]

The one I'm using is the one from hrace009's server files release.

It has Nirvana forges in south west ADC and Warsoul Spirit in the middle of ADC.

I remember somewhere someone saying that npc is bugged anyway...

My converter says you want it to spawn at 528, 650 and after restarting w/e map its on it should be there....

The Forge: Item Exchange in 1k does basically the same thing as the Boutique agent anyway (since all of her other functions basically don't work)

Try setting the NPC to Free 3D though... I have all my NPCs Ive added set to that and they are fine I think ground doesn't always work for certain areas

Same here (I deleted mine in /config/)

I presumed "ground" would work because that's the setting on the banker right next to where I wanted to put her.

Item Exchange forge in 1k has a lot of stuff that's pointless from the Anniversary Packs (Tokens of Luck trades) and we've had quite a few tokens that we can't trade at the Forge from Anni Packs.

Meh it's not crucial but it's something I'd like to have.
