Editing Newbie Equipment

[fathernitwit]

As far as I can tell, it should work. You will want to make sure that the containers have a lower `id` number in starting_items, and then set the `slot` field appropriately based on that wiki page. Be sure that all conditions for the new entry are being satisfied: race, class, diety, zoneid, and gm.

Here is a quest I made up for each class that gives the test server starter items on the test server when /testbuff command is used, this is the one for Shadowknights but you just need to replace the name and the item IDs for each other class, although this is not perfect as any class can hail any class and get the armor but it is unusable to them and unsellable, I tried to get it to only work for each class but no matter how I formatted it any class is still able to get the armor , anyway it works and if anyone would like to fix it up be my guest...to find the items for all other classes just do a database search for test.

sub EVENT_SAY{

if($text=~/Hail/i)
{
quest::say("Hello there $name, I am here to help all new Shadowknights to armor themselves , Are you a [Shadowknight]?");
}
if(($text=~/Shadowknight/i) && ($class == "Shadowknight"))
{
quest::say("Well then lets get started, What items are you in need of? [Armor] [Weapons] or [Accessories]?");
}
if(($text=~/Armor/i) && ($class == "Shadowknight"))
{
quest::say("Well then here is some Armor to get you started.");
quest::summonitem("38079");
quest::summonitem("38078");
quest::summonitem("38077");
quest::summonitem("38076");
quest::summonitem("38075");
quest::summonitem("38074");
quest::summonitem("38073");
quest::summonitem("38072");
quest::summonitem("38071");
quest::summonitem("38070");
quest::summonitem("38067");
quest::summonitem("38065");
}
if(($text=~/weapons/i) && ($class == "Shadowknight"))
{
quest::say("Great then, here is your weapons.");
quest::summonitem("38082");
quest::summonitem("38081");
quest::summonitem("38080");
}
if(($text=~/accessories/i) && ($class == "Shadowknight"))
{
quest::say("Ok then here you are $name. May this help you in your fight.");
quest::summonitem("38063");
quest::summonitem("38064");
quest::summonitem("38066");
quest::summonitem("38068");
quest::summonitem("38069");}
}

@ Sakrateri: I'll definitely keep that script in mind, it's something quite similar to what I've had in mind today.

@ FNW: Most of that thoroughly confused me, but as I post this (mind you, it's taking a while to post since I'm rewriting as I go), I'm going over the DB double checking everything you listed. So far, the only starting items I've replaced are the weapons, backpack, and light source, and I can get the backpack, light source, food, and drink to appear in the proper inventory slots just fine. So far, it's only equipped slots and slots inside the starter backpack that aren't working. I've shifted a few things around tho, so I'll test it out again and go from there.

Thanks again everyone for the pointers and tips, I'll let you know how it turns out.

i found far easier way to give out newbee items =)

simply have a merchant selling then for price of 0 =)

If FNW's requirements are correct, then the default newbie backpack (itemID 32601) wouldn't work well because most of the newbie gear is down in the 4-digit range. Looking at my PEQ download, none of the backpacks are lower than the basic starting gear. I can change the ID, of course, but can anyone confirm if this is still an issue?
