How to make a NPC. (Tutorial)

:smilie_xpHey goes heres a tutorial on making a npc:smilie_xp

• log into pt admin client
• go to the place you want to put a npc
• after that push F9 on your keyboard
• white writing will come up on your screen (top left)
• in the first part of the white writing it will say x= (there would be number here),y= (there would be number here) z= (there would be number here)
• x= y= z= , write the numbers down
• then go to your npc maker in your ptserver folder and add the numbers for the x,y,z outlines then choose a model you want for the npc

and then you go back in the game, go to where you put the npc and it will be there.

PICTURE TUTORIAL DOWN BELOW

Any problems add them here.

All credits to me (shabeb) for this tutorial Thanks.

Umm what file type is the model supposed to be? And where can i find the models?

Server Folder\GameServer\NPC

there all the npc's u can use pick try it and if u dont like it change it to another.

but it says i need to open a .spc file

The spc file is the files in server folder\GameServer\Field
so if u wanna put it into to ricarten pick village-2.ase
and check the rest u have to read it carefully so if u pick ruin-1 read the npcs in it and it will tell u whats in it

NPC Editor 1.0

The spc file is the files in server folder\GameServer\Field
so if u wanna put it into to ricarten pick village-2.ase
and check the rest u have to read it carefully so if u pick ruin-1 read the npcs in it and it will tell u whats in it

and a note for people.
the co-ordinates (x,y,z pos)
have both positive and negative numbers so if y is eg. -2314 then write it wif the - or it will end up somewhere weird.

It either says "The File is not existing" or gives me a runtime error about the path being wrong or something.

This Tutorial need to be redone as most if not all the images are gone. :O:

I doubt that would help. There are many NPC managers available now, and the one this tutorial refers to is largely not graphical, and largely idiot proof.

The only part that takes a little visual queuing is finding the X, Y and Z co-ordinates in game with a GM client.

I posted a screenie of this not so long ago (a month or two) someone could trawl through my posts to find it... I CBA TBH.

The original post did not have screen shots, and was easy enough to follow IMHO.

I will do that. I followed this thread from the begining and I saw what looked like screenshots not available anymore.

here is what is in the editor
Crystal Store
GameServer\npc\yura-store.npc
char\npc\TN-007\TN-007.INI
x 473 y 205 z -18504 angle 0
Enabled checked

I must have tried to add the napc a dozen times follwing this Tut.

Try using Pritator. It ownez. :wink:

I have used every editor thats available and the same results no npc at the speified location. What I did notice when using the editors most of them unchecked the enable box and the file save works very wierd. If saving from within the editor it gives a msg of OK...however when you exit the editor it complains that the file has not been saved. I know that npc editing does work cause I see the results of it ingame. Ill continue fighting my way thru this, at some point I may get results. lots of trial and error.

The NPC editor I last released has a documented feature that it doesn't remember what that you have saved the file.

I have since fixed that, but had already developed past that point, changing the entire internal (in-memory) structure of the NPC table, and have not yet re-implemented the saving of the table... so despite that "unusual behaviour" that older version is still the better one to use.

The one made and released by Sandurr is more competent (I think) and his source code is now shared, so I may be adding new features to the one I'm working on based on what I learn from dissecting that.

Sumomos PriTaTor is very very good... But yea, I sometimes get confused as to whether I am saving the changes to an NPC (record) or to a field(file). And changing the file associated with an NPC either server side or client side can be a pig to get it to store.

If the NPC is not "enabled" they will not show up on the map. This is used for things like Event Girl and Xmas Guy. That way you don't have to delete and reinstall the NPC between events, you only need to enable and disable them.
