Creating Custom Mobs

hey,
I'm working on making some custom zones for my server and I ran
into a problem. I want to put some crabs down along a beach but just
found out the model for the crab is not included in the zone file, nor is it global.

Is there a way to extract a mob model from a zone and make it global, or am I
limited to only global / zone included npcs?

Thanks

I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it, but you can force them to be available by adding a line to your globalload.txt file.

You can find this in everquestinstallfolder/resources/globalload.txt

If these are the first few lines of globalload.txt, you can add a line. Replace the zonename_chr with the zone which actually has the crab model. This will only work for whomever has this modification to their globalload.txt.

Code:

1,1,TFFF,zonename_chr,Loading Characters

1,1,TFFF,GlobalFroglok_chr,Loading Froglok

1,1,TFFT,GlobalPCFroglok_chr,Loading Froglok

1,1,TFFF,frogequip,Loading Froglok

1,1,TFFT,GlobalSKE_chr2,Loading Froglok

1,1,TFFF,GlobalDRK_chr,Loading Froglok

...

Hope that helps

Hmm... well, I'm hoping to make a custom server that is completely different
from Live. I'd like it to be public and would rather not have to do any client changes. I looked at the client files for the zones I need and found where I'd have to make some edits.

now, if I was to make something and had to get people to make some client changes, would people be willing to do that ?
