[[-- GIVING THE NPC A NAME --]]
message-e <<-- Client side (inside config.pk)

PHP Code:

---

(npcname A "Starter-NPC") 


---

A : Should be the same as the number you gave the NPC in InitNPC.txt
( Open config.pk extract message-e.dat and make a .txt file off it with DatTool )

[[-- CREATING TEXT FOR THE NPC --]]
E.pk <<-- Client Side :

PHP 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 and i'am a Knight") ( param send quest 8703 4 ))
 ( link ( text "Yes and i'am a Archer") ( param send quest 8703 2 ))
 ( link ( text "Yes and i'am a Mage") ( param send quest 8703 3 ))
 ( link close ( text "[Talk End] I dont wanna start!"))

Put this into a text file and save it with a non existing name (something like s000502.txt)

A : Should have the same name as the the one you gave the file!
B : Name of the NPC showed wenn you talk to him
C : You need to make a .Dat file of it with DatTool

[[-- CREATING THE QUEST LOAD --]]

Quest.txt <<-- Server Side :

(case (then (html A)))
) 


---

A : Should be the number you gave the file in e.pk if you used s000502.dat then you should name it in here 502

(case (if (class 1) (item (90 1)))

Means if its a class 1 character ( a mage ) and got item 90 1 time

(then (contribute 70) (supoint 77) (item (out 90 1)(in 114 21 1).....so on so on

Means if the case was in ure inventory then give 70 CP / 77SP take item 90 out 1 time put in item 114 1 times


HOPE I DIDNT FORGET ANNY THING PLEASE TELL ME IT CANT BE RIGHT IN 1 TIME :eek:

)
( frame ( font 12)
( line "[Narutaru] Do you want to start?")
( line "")
( link ( text "Yes and i'am a Knight") ( param send quest 8703 4 ))
( link ( text "Yes and i'am a Archer") ( param send quest 8703 2 ))
( link ( text "Yes and i'am a Mage") ( param send quest 8703 3 ))
( link close ( text "[Talk End] I dont wanna start!"))
)

Euuhm, i just wanna point something out here, if your users are stupid (or smart) and kill vulgars and shit till they drop a g1 weapon they can use your npc multiple times...
I haven't checked what items they get but they would get a shitload of contribution (who cares) and su points ...

Better use a clear in your quest.txt or even better, remove g1 drops from your server

Otherwise ppl will abuse your npc (it still isn't totally abuse-proof but it's a start)

You have Right,but First i need the NPC,but I make Fatal Errors and i Need Help^^

well... you can delete the su points... and the it is class so.. if you are an archer then you need a bow if you are an archer and you have a g1 stick you cant get anny thing... and on most servers you will be in 5 kills around lvl 15 then they dont even dropp weapons anny more...

or they just keep making chars and delete them till they get g1 drops and stuff ...

believe me, ppl WILL always try to abuse any system u make, no mather how good or bad it is!

You can delete the su points yes, but eehm, let's say u run a small server with +-50 ppl on it, that's 50 potential abusers, are u going to check all the accounts?
The whole idea behind a starter npc is to automate things so that gm's have less work.

And as i said, just use a clear in your quest.txt and the problem is (partially) fixed.
Don't know how to do it? ... U got a whole Quest.txt full of examples, look at em!

# Max. allowed Attack Points per Player (Default 1500 / 0 = Disable)
AllowedMaxAttackPoints = 300

i got that in KOSP and well i get notice wenn they have more points

your point being?:scratch:

thx this is good

Very good indeed i could make a monster on start where you would die. lol

@darkdeathfox thank you now it works=)

OMG dude thats awesome^^ now i have a starter NPC yay^^

lol.. you just revived a 1 yeard old+ thead. gz.

Rofl. Wow. That old?
