Npc models to use with forced zone loading

Ok Ive been goin thru the sd3 files and matchin models from em with the race id used ingame to display em. Since you can forceload models into any zone its useful to know WHERE the model is stored besides its race id.

Ive got quite a bit of em so far. Ive tested some of em some of em I havent. Heres my running list. It also contains all of the ones from the latest guidebook that already had the model id and set its found in for quick easy reference.

Code:

The following models can all be force loaded into any zone.

Where the line is skipped between the models is where I started findin em myself from the s3d files. The number beside em is the race ID pretty much everything has to have gender set to 2 or youll get a human male. The ones above the skipped line are the ones straight from the guidebook I didnt put the race id with them 1) because I havent gotten around to it yet 2) you can just search for the name in the guidebook. Ill add to this anymore I find also if anyone else knows some not listed plz post em cause itll make my work easier and itll be useful for anyone forceloading models =)

box_chr is well...the box object race
uni in lfaydark_chr is a unicorn I would assume
coc in dreadlands_chr is most likely a cockatrice
yet in dreadlands_chr is a yeti
rap in dreadlands_chr is most likely a raptor
goo in goo_chr is...a goo
ser in sseru_chr is most likey lord inquisitor seru
pus in pus_chr is a pusling
emp in emp_chr is most likely emperor ssraeshza(or shissar in general)
vek in vek_chr are the veksar version of iksars
mmy in mmy_chr is...a mummy
gbl in gbl_chr is the new goblin
tbl in tbl_chr is a table object race most likely
brl in brl_chr is probably a barrel object race

Speaking about Model Forceloading, i wonder if someone found a solution to the non animated models. Because when you forceload an EQ Beta/Old World Model, it will appear, but wont be animated at all (Well, never was for me and some friends), some examples are ARM, PUM.

Ive never run into it as of yet. Im not usin old world models tho my whole point in findin this stuff out was to use new models (LDoN PoP GoD some Luclin) in older zones. My start zone on my server is Stonebrunt and everything Ive tested there so far works just fine. Your talkin about pri the Prismatic Spirit or whatever it is. It has its own s3d too called pri,pri_chr I dunno if thatd made a diff in it not animating or what maybe try it that way?

Any chance you'd expand a bit on it by comparing the model names/numbers to actual EQLive mobs? :)

I know that's a lot of work, but that'd be extremely hot.

Well I could just to centralize all the info but if you got the guidebook you can just search for the ###,###_chr as listed above the skipped line and find a pic of the model and what is right in the guidebook. On the ones below the skipped line just search for the number after the _chr listing and youll find the pic and name of the mob in the guidebook if its in there. Some of the things like what I think is the kunark boat and shuttles arent in the guidebook.

hsn,nightmareb_chr 297

this is incorrect.. not sure what it is.. cause i have no clue .. but i have tried this many times.. but i have went to nightmareb and summoned them no problem.. and all my other force loads work.. so im not sure why this one does not work at all

Well, it's not the Shissar's in general, and the emperor suposidly uses the same prefix as the shissar. The one for the shissar's are as followed, but keep in mind, only seem to be able to load 2 of the 4 models, sence texture for this race model doesnt work for force loading, but only for the specific zone that are suposted to be in.

shn,thegrey_chr
or
shn,ssatemple_chr

both these display the same models as eachother, but when viewing in EQinside, you see there are 3 head versions for thegrey, and 4 head versions for temple. So it makes sence that all 4 should be loaded from temple.
Also, this model is currently only displaing with gender 2 (netrual) and they are frozen (no animation)
Hope that helps.

Speaking of the EQEmu guidebook, I wanted to download that but I noticed the link isn't working anymore. If it's still a valid resource for 6.0 DR2, I'd like to know what a valid link is so I can get that.

You can get it over in the downloads section of peqserver.com if I recall correctly.

I just gotten a server up and running, using recent Kunark release, woundering how I cna get all the models to load using #race, most just set as a human male. Been searching fro model forceloading also, and nothing.

Here's a quote from the Guidebook v1.3:

Quote:

If you view your EverQuest directory, you’ll notice a few files named:

zonename_chr.txt

Typically, the _chr.txt files will only be listed for the latest zones (LDoN, revamped zones, etc.) What I have discovered is that the only apparent “check” made against changing these files is a first line of text that tells eqgame.exe how many models it should be loading.

Great news! You can customize the newer zones - or at least that’s what I first though. Once I started playing around even further I really got excited. I discovered that eqgame.exe is apparently hardcoded to accept a *_chr.txt file for every zone even if they don’t have one now! This means that even though global_chr.s3d and freportw_chr.s3d are loaded when you zone to West Freeport, IF freportw_chr.txt exists the client will force load any and all models specified in that file!

How to add models to any zone

A zonename_chr.txt file contains the following type of information:

6 <---- Line 1 tells the client how many models will be loaded.
gol,qeynos_chr <---- Lines 2+ specify which models to load and
gia,commons_chr from which _chr.s3d file(s).
bet,ecommons_chr format: model_id,file_id (no spaces!)
spi,ecommons_chr
gob,butcher_chr
imp,steamfont_chr

It is this file that you can manually change to force load any model(s) you wish to be available in that zone as long as you know the model_id and file_id for loading them (EQEMu Guidebook 1.3 will have a listing). the s3d file extension should not be used when specifying the file_id. Also, I cannot stress enough, do not use spaces!

NOTE: If you use an incorrect model_id, file_id, use spaces, use a period instead of a comma or type anything incorrectly, you will crash any client zoning into the zone with a bad zonename_chr.txt file. Because of this, I highly suggest you only add 2-3 models at a time (even if using the Guidebook's information) to ensure everything is correct. It's much easier to locate a problem in 3 entries than it is in 30.

Example of use:

Open Notepad or any text editor.

On Line #1 type the following: 3
On Line #2 type the following: skb,skb_chr
On Line #3 type the following: fgh,fgh_chr
On Line #4 type the following: scr,scr_chr

Now save the file (as ANSI text) into your EverQuest directory as freporte_chr.txt

The next time you zone into E. Freeport, you will be able to spawn and see Kunark Scorpions, PoNightmare Banshees and LDoN Froglok Ghosts in East Freeport. It’s that easy!

As mentioned previously, you can also add/remove files from pre-existing zonename_chr.txt files. And remember, the zone will still load all global models as well as any models in its zonename_chr.s3d file (providing it has one. Later zones do not).
