Yeah that is my problem too.

Regarding the error, I added error checking. Now you get the npc id of the problem NPC. A problem would be a null field, or a problem with a field on the npc id.

If an error still exists (i.e program crashes) then the error is occuring somewhere else in the code.

Dl the newest ODBC drivers from my site and give those a go.

Okay I get the error on every single npc, after I finish clicking okay through all of them they seem to be loaded in.
I see a column called, Is_Bot, but I don't have this column in my database. Could this be what's causing it?

Ya, if you don't have all of the columns it is looking for, it will fail.

A pretty massive update is looming around the corner - just am spending a few days testing it before release..

Inlcuded are:

Slightly changed interface for quicker editing!
Merchant editor - now fully integrated with the NPC & Loot editor - finally!!!
Ability to view and edit loot on an zone wide basis!
Ability to change a NPC into a Merchant with real merchant ids on the fly!
Ability to Wipe a zone of all npcs!
Much enhanced Item search with a buffer and a special advanced search!
Ability to search for all npc's by Level!!
New control buttons made by Trevius!

New Loot assignment feature -
-- This allows one to import a list of items and assign them as loot to the npc's in the search criteria, It's NOT random loot, but assigned by an item list that you control. So, let's say you load in all 60-75lvl npc's which have not loot. You can now assign specified loot to them. Great for zones with npc's with no loottables! You control # item/npc and % drop.

Ability to FIX ALL bad merchants (i.e no merchant id's or merchants with class=41 and missing merchant links!!!)
Change NPC to FULL aggro to all
and more features I forgot..

Coming soon..

Hopy cow man! That sounds awesome!

I was thinking of a minor addition the other day that might be good for the NPC loot editor. Basically, I think it would be nice to have a field to adjust how much faction each NPC gives. You can already set an NPC to a faction, but it would be good if you could set it to give -30 or +10 or something directly from the tool. It might even be nice to have a simple feature to create new factions. Though, creating factions in the database is already pretty easy. But, I think the most important thing is a setting in the tool to adjust how much faction you get from killing each NPC. It is just 1 less thing to have to use anything outside of the tool to adjust.
