How can I create a greeter NPC or Buff NPC?
Hello There folks! I created my own server, "Adventure Unlimited".
I compiled it to allow for #bot commands and I edited the Veteran AA "Steadfast Servant" to be able to re-use every 25 minutes and he lasts for 30 minutes so that is my version of an all around merc if you prefer to use a merc instead of OR with your bots. I was able to figure out how to make some custom merchants so I made some to sell each type of defiant armor and I created a merchant to be a greeter and to sell epic 1.0 items. Veteran AA's are free at lvl 1 like any PEQ type server and the server supports clients up to Underfoot. I will also allow players to use Macroquest if they choose to.
My problem is I want to make that greeter that I created in the guild lobby to be able to offer new players this information when they hail him. How do I add dialogue to the NPC I made?
I was thinking of adding some buff NPC's to the lobby also but I am thinking with the bots and the Steadfast Servant Merc, they should get all the buffs they would need anyway unless they choose to totally solo without bots or npc's and then that is their choice.
I would like to be able to add some custom quests and maybe trade skills in the future but my knowledge of how to accomplish this is limited at the moment.
Also, I don't know how to do it or if it is going to be possible but I really liked the #seller (bazaar seller bots for players) that I saw on the EQ Titan server, but it is custom code and I doubt they will let me have it. I would like to know if anyone has a solution like that AND would also be willing share the code with me, to allow for offline player bazaar sellers.
I used the PEQ Database Editor to do what I have done so far. Is there a tool some where I can get to help make custom quests and such?
As always I appreciate any support you folks can offer me. If not for this forum I would never have been able to get my server up and running at all!
Sincerely,
