Creating Custom NPCs

[Viriatha]

I apparently suck at this because I can't even get an NPc to just show up and talk ><

It's a pretty simple file and if anyone can write a guide for this, or point me at one, I'd appreciate it. I don't know what information you might need, so please ask and I'll answer asap.

Thank you VERY much. I've looked all over for something similar. I apparently suck at searches, though. I'll look at this and try some more and if I run into trouble, I'll come back and ask again.

Thank you again!
Posted on: Oct 10, 2010, 03:31 amOk, I followed the guide and made something truly simplistic, added it to custom NPC directory, added a line for it in scripts_custom.conf and no joy at all.

Here's the code for it:

Code: [Select]

prontera,164,83,4 script Test NPC 58,{
mes "Hello, how are you?";
mes "I am a Test NPC.";
close;
}

It just doesn't seem that difficult to create an NPC who does nothing but stand on the map and talk and yet, I fail.

I'd say make sure the file path is correct in scripts_custom.conf

Otherwise your script is just fine.

Also, do try and ask these things on eA, as they can help you more.
