NPC and loot editor - update2

[xxarthurxx]

have a question about this tool, is there a way to make npcs unattackable? that is to make sure that when a player attacks them it does nothing and spells dont hurt them and the do not agro... cause this be done with this tool or do i need to do this some other way?

Body Type 11 is untargetable. Then, NPC Special Attacks "ABH" make it immune to magic or melee and will not agro. You can also set speed to 0 so it won't run just in case.

That is about it I think.

A huge update for the NPC and Loot Editor

08.20.00 - Tonnes of changes and enhancements. Now Incorporated in Loot editor is Grid Editing and SpawnGroups. Many Many features added...

A graphical editor for NPC creation (total re-write) and quick edit and reference tools added or updated.
Since the tool's scope is large, I would recommend trying it out and seeing all the changes. Remember back up your DB since changes are for real.

If you have any quenstions or feature requests - please send them here.

The tools are all great and the new changes to this one are exceptional!

One minor thing though; it appears we are no longer able to move columns around to arrange them as needed. You can still size the columns, but it is hard when you have a few certain things to adjust for an entire zone and have to scroll from left to right to see the name and then make the change. I liked the old way where I could just put AC, STR, HPs, Special Attacks, etc all right next to each other and just adjust the ones needing adjustment at that time. But, now it seems like the columns are all locked in place in the order they are already in.

Another simple idea might be an option to lock the ID and Name columns in place so they stay on screen when you scroll left to right. This would work similar to an excel spreadsheet and would make it easier to edit the fields in any part of the list without having to double and triple check to make sure you are editing the correct NPC.

I just added the newest version with moveable columns. Somehow they were locked before.

Hello George!
The latest version looks very nice.
One little thing i noticed that could be usefull - in the ShowNpc Spell list - could you add sort by ID? could come handy

not teribly important, but whenever you will have next big update perhaps you would consider adding this.

thanks
=)

PS. one more thing - in TradeSkill editor- could get the same black back ground and golden letters as in NPC editor? white background realy hurts the eyes =)

Added ChaosSlayer's ShowNpc Spell list sort request and a few minor bug fixes.
