How to make NPC Models Load in Any Zone.

[Richardo]

I will fix it the link soon, unfortunately Custom Chemical Services exceeded its monthly bandwidth transfer rate...

I tried testing this out. I could make it work for any single zone, but not globally. Does this work for 6.0 Perl /w Kunark db?

Has this ever actually worked? I couldn't get it to work with multiple versions of the EQ client.

Hmm kept on testing, only got models to load in individual zones, this is for the 6.0 client

I am not having any luck force-loading globally. I first created, loaded and tested a txt file for a single zone to ensure that the process was working for the model i intended to use. I then tested with the following txt files globally, each time restarting the client completely, but have had zero success.

global_chr.txt
global_chr1.txt
global_chr2.txt
global2_chr.txt
global2_chr2.txt
global3_chr.txt
global8_chr.txt
global19_amr.txt
global19_chr.txt
globalbaf_chr.txt
globalbaf_chr2.txt
globalhom_chr2.txt
gequip2.txt
gequip2_chr.txt
gequip2_chr2.txt
gequip6_chr.txt
gequip6_chr2.txt

I know some of these either have no corresponding s3d file and/or do not make sense, but i started grasping at straws. Now i'm about out of ideas for this one.

I read a new guide, and it said global forceloading no longer works.

There are a couple files that load globally according to my knowledge and you can attach a chr.txt to them, im just searching for them...

As far as I could tell global loading NEVER worked, the only forceloading possible is local. A while back I found a file that looked like it told the client to load the froglok(guktan) model which is not in any of the global .s3d files. No one ever cared to look into what I found however so I have no idea if it was what I thought it was or not.
