gm command .npc spawn isn't working

[dominikid07]

i just added an npc to my database and i can't spawn it when i use the code even though it shows as an npc when i do the lookup command. but when i try to spawn it says "Invalid id".. can anyone help me

just in case i'm using the "best teleporter npc" search it in forum if you want more info on it

[AfterMidnight]

Is it just this one NPC you can't spawn or all NPC's?
If just one) Have you reloaded the appropriate tables?
In case your emu doesn't support it) Have you restarted your server?

[dominikid07]

it's all of them, i can only summon mobs, but npcs don't work at all.

how do i know if i have the appropriate table???

and how do i restart my server??

[Gastricpenguin]

What do you mean? npcs are the same things as mobs...
If you don't know how to restart your server, please do yourself a favor and re-read every single guide on this forum. Then come back and answer your own question, this is blatant common sense.

[dominikid07]

ok restarted server and still nothing...

[dominikid07]

ok i still can't them to spawn, only monsters spawn but no npcs..

anotehr problem i am having is everytime i try to use a level 80 epic item (ulduar) it says "You Can Never Use That Item"...

i need help plz

[Exacute]

First; provide more info
Second; "monsters", "mobs" is the same as NPC's...

I would suggest reading everything to do with emulators...You don't seem to know much.

[dominikid07]

i know that but it's weird that npcs don't spawn if they are the same thing as mobs... what more information do you want???

@Hunterplay i'll do that, maybe it can fix my problem

Dominikid: The problem is that you added your NPC to the creature_names table and not to the creature_proto table.

If an entry is in creature_names, it will show up in the .lookup npc, and will even be able to be used for some... small uses... however it won't be able to be spawned in-game until it has an entry in creature_proto.

[dominikid07]

ok this is what i ran as a query and i still get nothing

INSERT INTO `creature_names` VALUES ('99899', 'Nemesis Taxi', 'WoW', '', '0', '0', '0', '3', '0', '0', '20177', '0', '0', '0', '1', '1', '0', null);
INSERT INTO `creature_proto` VALUES ('99899', '255', '255', '35', '100000', '100000', '100000', '1', '3', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '360000', '2002', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '1', '100', '0', '0', '2.5', '8', '14', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0');

Try a shorter ID number. Even though a 5 digit ID should work for ArcEmu atleast.

But yeah try a different ID number. And when your world server is building try to see when it loads a DB. Maybe it's not loading the database you are executing it to.
