[PRIMO12]

How do I go about changing the names of an npc??? I cant find anything on it in my commands & I've looked on the site & another site in the forums on renaming an npc & cant find anything but post I've made so.....

So how do I change an npc's name???

ok still showing the names that i edited so I tryed to spawn so see if I had to redo & still showing npc names how do I change the npc name??

Once you changed the name, you need to delete your cache folder.

where is the cache folder. at??? in my wow directory?

[PRIMO12]

& do I like delete the hole cache folder or just delete whats in it

[Ballwinkle]

The whole folder

isnt the folder needed by wow to run properly I mean it wasnt part of the repack & its needed now for the names will wow remake this folder & whats the folder for anyways?

& do I like delete the hole cache folder or just delete whats in it

YES deleting the content sounds better.... wow needs folder to run properly I didnt make the folder & it didnt come with the repack so I'm not deleting it
HA HA... I am tryin it now let you know how it gos

[Gastricpenguin]

Doesnt matter, you can delete the whole folder if you want.
Wow creates a new cache folder if it isnt in place.

ok so I did it & it worked but Is everyone that plays on my server gonna have to do the same thing now??? cause thats some bs if they do cause they still see the old names

or will it reset when they next login??

The cache folder will auto create after deleting it! No worries! And that is the only way to for example: see name changes on go's and NPCs! Also need to delete Cache when you have re-made a portal!
You can delete it safly!
Enjoy!

ok nice but what about everyone who plays on the server do they need to delete? how do those changes take affect??

they still see old names?

[Gastricpenguin]

They need to delete their cache folder aswell.
