default.pl

well if someone could actually write such filtering code- would be much appreciated.

However, would nice, of our dev could include few more option in code:

-default.pl - affects npcs and pets
-default-npc.pl - affects only mobs
-default-pet.pl - affects only pets

I'm no script jockie, so keep that in mind BUT:

I did read through the wiki again real quick and came up with a working filter method for rejecting (or selecting, your choice) pets based on npc id.

sub EVENT_SAY
{
	my $mob = plugin::var('$mob');
	my $npcid = $mob->GetNPCTypeID();
	if($npcid < 1000)
{
	quest::say("I am a pet!");
}
  plugin::defaultSay();
}

With this, only pets (based on peq db distro) will respond.

If you want to have all NPCs automatically return no drop items, you could update to rev1144 or later so you can use the rule NPC:ReturnNonQuestNoDropItems that I added. It basically causes all NPCs that don't have an EVENT_ITEM to return all No Drop items handed to them. It also includes pets, but it still allows tradeable items to be handed to all NPCs and pets, so giving pets weapons still works fine. I added this to prevent players from turning in quest items to their pets or to non-quest NPCs by mistake. Seems to help a lot so far lol.

I do agree that it would be nice to have more default type script options. If you want to exclude pets from default.pl for now, the only way I know of is to make a script for every pet and put it in your templates folder. You just name them something like cleric_hammer_67_.pl or BLpet47.pl and so on. Just all of the ones in your pets table should do it. It is a bit of an annoying way to deal with it, but should work ok I think.
