1 Let's get started! - Making a Custom NPC

Open your Database, it could be Navicat, SQLyog or Heidi SQL.

Go to the one called Creature_names, open it and press the last page button. Scroll down, and click the + .

Entry: The ID you want to enter to add the NPC, I will put 600029.
Name: The name of the NPC. I will put Welcome NPC.
Subname: The name underneith the NPC's name, you don't have to add anything here, but it looks better with a subname. I will put Welcome to the server!
Info_str: Set this to 0
Flags1: set this to 0 as well. ( 3 is hostile mob )
Type: 3 or 7. I'm gonna put 7.
Family: If the NPC belongs to a family. I'm gonna put 0 here.
Rank: The rank of the NPC ( Elite, Rare Elite etc ) i'm gonna put 4 here.
4 is the strongest, 1 is the weakest. This has no affect on the damage or anything like that though. So it doesn't matter.
Unk4: Needs to be set at 0.
SpelldataID: If you want the NPC to use a spell. I'm gonna put 0 here.

6 How to change maxlevel.

Go into your Ascent files, open up the file called Ascent.
Scroll down until you see this:

# This variable controls the level that stats will be generated up to internally.
# Beyond this level players can still see a higher level visually but their stats won't
# increase beyond this point.
# Default: 99Once again, change the green numbers to your maxlevel.

That's all, restart your server and login.

7 How to make an Admin/GM account.

Go into your database and click the ''Accounts'' table.
Write in the table:

Acct: The number of the account. Since it's your first your gonna want to add ''1'' there. (Without the '' )
Login: The account name you will want to login with. I'm gonna put Romis here.
Password: The password to the account. I don't wanna display mine here
GM: Here is the tricky part.
0 - No GM privelegies at all. Normal account.
1 - Very few GM powers, only .summon and .appear.
2 - More powers.
3 - Full GM.
4 - Admin, you have access to all the GM commands.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

8 - How to change game object names.

First open your database, and go to the table called '' gameobject_names '' open it and search for the name of the item. In this guide I will change the name of Imperial Throne to Throne of Arthas.

The entry id for Imperial Throne is 170592 .
Your gonna want to find the '' Name '' column.
Change the name to whatever you desire.
Save, and exit. Go ingame and type .reloadtable gameobject_names . Then add the game object by typing .go spawn 170592 1 .

--------------------------------------------------------------------

9 - How to add a newly created item in-game without restarting the server.

Go ingame and write .reloadtable <name of table here>
i.e: .reloadtable items .

There you go, you will have to remember, some tables can't be reloaded in this way.
