Way to mass weaken monsters

[Randymarsh9]

I'm not sure if there is already a way to do this, but I haven't been able to find anything. The monsters in the planes are really overpowered and I want to be able to lower all of their stats without having to individually edit them.

I don't think this belongs in Feature Request section - more like in "working with mysql" =P

update peq.npctypes set hp=level*10;

this will set hp of a mob =lev*10 for all mobs in db

you can make it more complex if you wish with soemthing like that:

update peq.npc_types set
attack_speed=0,
hp=level*8+(level-1)*(level-1)/4, ac=(level-1)*(level-1)/5+8,
mindmg=(level/10), maxdmg=(level/2+1),
str=(48+(level*2)),sta=(48+(level*2)),dex=(48+(lev el*2)),agi=(48+(level*2)),
wis=(48+(level*2))+25,_int=(48+(level*2))+25,cha=( 48+(level*2))+25,
mr=level/2, fr=level, cr=level, dr=level, pr=level,
hp_regen_rate=(level/10), mana_regen_rate=(level/5);


this will set hp, ac, resists etc for all all mobs based on the their level

Haha, maybe they should make a tool for doing that simpler.

[ChaosSlayer]

you can't realy make this more simpler other than editing specific mob by hand

if you WANT to affect 100s of mobs at same time- you will have to enter crap load of spec data anyway - which means specifying actual formulas and stat increase progression - so no there is no real way to make this any more simpler

[Randymarsh9]

Alright, I will probably just do it in the database. It's mainly only the planes that are overpowered.

Get one started for us then! As ChaosSlayer pointed out, this would be clearly out of scope for the eqemulator project as it is a MySQL topic. There is a tool development forum as well.

A lot of people are complaining about mobs having too much AC, so is there a way I can minus like 200 AC from all mobs 50+?

[cavedude]

update npc_types set AC = AC-200 where level > 49;

Thank You!
