EverQuest Tutorial
 

Does anyone know the name of the xxxxx_chr.txt file that corresponds with the TestEverQuest zone known as EverQuest Tutorial, shortname tutorial?

i would take a WILD guess and say its tutorial_chr.txt :D

If this file is NOT in your eq folder, is it posible it simply does not exist.
not all zones have _chr files, simply cuase they never had any EXTRA models added to them beyond the default load.
So if you trying to load a model, simply make the file yourself

Thanks for the the Chaos, I'll give that a try. I'm sure quests work the same way right? Just make a tutorial folder in quests?

aye, worked for me :cool:

tutorial_chr.txt (in game folder)
4
cst,cst_chr
skt,skt_chr
btn,btn
rtn,rtn

Jana_Dawn.pl (eqemu/quests/tutorial)

sub EVENT_SAY{
if($text =~ /hail/i){
quest::say("Hail, young traveler!");}
}

Non of this seems to be working, any ideas?

they seem to be correct...

just make sure they are in "tutorial" folder, not "tutoriala" or "tutorialb"

I also have an npc in my "tutorial" zone and it works fine.


your tutorial_chr.txt also looks right.
try checking those npcs race, gender and texture settings. for most models
try gender 2, and texture 0

It was the gender not being "2" as far as the global models go, they now work, but no luck on non-globals, and quests do not work either

i am goingIto check my own tutorial zone right now to see if its working with current builds

Woot! Got the quests working but the non-globals are still being difficult, if you figures it out let me know! Thanks for all the help Chaos.

well my tutorial zone runs fine.

i used

tutorial_chr.txt
1
rtn,rtn

and #race 415 turns me or npcs into new rat model =)

so it must be some small syntax error you have soemwhere, a misspelled letter in a file name or soemthing.

I figured it out, dumb mistake, it was named tutorial_chr.txt.txt haha thanks for helping me.

And one more question lol, the correct way to add spawns is to create them via the query browser, #npctypespawn xxxxx, and #npcspawn add with them targeted. Correct?

umm... I never do that manualy =)
I use George Tools =)
He has tools for just about anything

Thanks for the link. I can get every npc spawn to stick but 3 and i am reapeating the same process for all of them =(. My mind is full of errors today lol.

Also, man I have more problems than I thought, When my friend tries to zone in to tutorial I get this error:

[CLIENT_ERROR] Kicking char from zone, not allowed here

I suggest using Georges npc/loot, and spawn editors. You can easily make copies, locate npcs around with it.

not sure what thsi error is. It is posible that zone is set to min lev req, or gm rank req, and you friend does not have sufficient level or gm rank.

That's correct, ProjectEQ comes with a default of 150 status requirement for zones that are not used.

You can run this statement in the MySQL console to allow your friend inside the zone:

And he will be able to enter.

Do that for any other zones that give you the error (minus planes zones, which in that case swap out min_status for min_level)

Hope that helps.

Check the zone table and see if there is a min level or min account status set for that zone.
