Killing creatures who wander

[owen_a]

Hi all!

Note: Sorry that I have not been around lately. I've been ill 

Now for my question.

I was playing world of warcraft, and I've noticed that all the time theres creatures just wandering about near paths. So what I was thinking, could this be done in planeshift?

So If I were to go up to one of them, I could attack them and earn XP.

If this is possible, could someone tell me how I could acheive this?

Thanks!

being able to kill creatures just needs to set them not impervious and have an npcclient running.
for them wandering in paths you need to make a path network and script them to use it in npcbehave.xml

That reminds me on Bug #2669 (which is reported to be fixed): NPCs on a walking path once used to take that path so serious that they returned to walking it just after a short battle.

not exactly. you can make them "wander around" (i.e. not going to any target, but walking a bit), too.
iirc there's some example for it in the svn NPC behaviours, too

I've took the 'Fighter1' from the NPC room and put on the map "ojaroad1".

Everytime I try and attack it, I never do any damage to it, and it does not fight back. Any ideas?

[owen_a]

Right.

Before I mention anything I would like to say I'm getting annoyed in Mirc that no one is really active. Theres about 20 people in the channel, and only 1-2 people are active? :/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now to say, that someone did say something about "psnpcclient". I've tried my best at configuring it, but since I cant find no tutorial (Suprise) I cant get any help.

Now I'm posting it in here hoping someone might actually help me.

Heres my config (only important parts)

Planeshift.NPCClient.host = localhost
Planeshift.NPCClient.userid = superclient
Planeshift.NPCClient.password = superclient
Planeshift.NPCClient.port = 13331

Planeshift.Database.npchost = localhost
Planeshift.Database.npcuserid = root
Planeshift.Database.npcpassword = test
Planeshift.Database.npcname = planeshift

I'm presuming .Database is the MySQL details so I've entered my credentials on there. I have no idea what .NPCClient is so I left that asit was. Now for my problem.

Everytime I load up the PSNPCClient.exe It closes after 2 seconds, after alot of messages. These messages (I think) are the same from when the server loads about logs. but then it closes.

Any Ideas?

Could you paste the output? It took an eternity to work correctly when I tried it some time ago, but it didn't crash.

[owen_a]

How do I get the output? It immediately closes. Unless theres a text file somewere? 

[owen_a]

I've managed to take a photo before it closes.

[weltall]

looks like you miss that table

[owen_a]

Which table? It kinda confuses me its output.

[LigH]

What is confusing about the output in the second-last line?

Table 'planeshift.sc_tribe_resources' doesn't exist

[owen_a]

Well, planeshift.sc_tribe_resources

Planeshift must be the database?

and...    sc_tribe_resources   must be the table i'm missing?

[owen_a]

Ah. It doesnt matter, I just used the .sql file from the SVN. Now when I run PSNPCClient, it connectsand works, but what is this all about? ::

It crashes, Seems to be that yellow text. By the way I copied the whole ART folder from the client, so I'm using the orginal art.

[weltall]

those are data errors in the art and are normal your problem can be found only with a debugger
