2017/1/20 - Dress NPCs

[Kretol]

Throm'ka!



With the restarts earlier this morning, I implemented the [url="http://rochet2.github.io/Dress-NPCs.html"><s></s>Dress NPCs patch into the Freedom code. This allows us to create NPCs completely from scratch so long as it's a race that would normally allow customization (take a look at [url="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pmkCOSDyCflbo9avwYgmAR60_cVV0Dk-t6p_Ec8AyRE/edit?usp=sharing"><s></s>this spreadsheet). Back in the days of CotH, I had created another spreadsheet that folks I had given edit access to could input requested NPCs and the appropriate queries would be generated, making my work easy. I've made a copy of that spreadsheet that can be accessed [url="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18R-E_zRKTxQQfUlvwLGNVeQ0xaIo2XZYVWzFJB-jBD8/edit?usp=sharing"><s></s>here, but right now you will only be able to view it. I'm still working on some minor changes in some of the formulas on there.

I imagine that we will formulate some process for NPC requesting and granting access to add in NPC requests, but announcements for that will come later. I just wanted to let folks know of the ability for it now!



For GMs:

Inserting the creature_template and creature_equip_template values work as normal, in the wod_world database. The creature_template_outfits table is in the freedom database, so insert queries will have to be run there.



Lok'Tar!

Hey so, my question is, if I'm having a morph, could I recustomize that look, aswell? :3

Oh hey. Someone else asked a question I'd dared not on this threat yet.



My gut feeling is this -should- be viable.



Right Kretol?



Riiiiight? <E></E>

Although that would be totally awesome, regrettably not. We aren't using a display ID in the traditional sense for the mobs but instead using code that ties into the Mirror Image code. Perhaps with some further code editing and/or DBC modifying it could be possible, but not with this patch. <E></E>
