I havent seen a guide yet on how to equip NPCs or Mobs with a weapon or shield on the newer NCDB databases. So i decided to write one just in case people havent figured out how. This may be just common sense for most.
Most guides that i saw refer to the old database where you equip NPCs and Mobs in creature proto table and you enter in the weapon or shield Display ID. If you look in the creature proto table on the newer NCDBs, the area where you would enter that information is no longer there. So the previous guides are almost useless.
What you have to do now is have a record of the NPC or Mobs sql entry number. You can get that by targeting the NPC and type .npc info. Once you have the sql entry number you have to go to the creature_spawn table and search the creature by using that sql entry number.
bytes2: enter the number 1 (if you dont enter at least 1, the weapons wont show in game)
Slot1item MainHand enter the Weapon ID Number(not display id)
Slot2item OffHand enter the Weapon/Sheild ID Number(not display id)
Slot3item havent tried. Not sure what its for.
