I have been working for awhile on giving mobs more 'default' behavior which is like that of players. Mobs kill each other, mobs loot equipment from corpses, mobs use better equipment they pickup. Mobs scavenge without a flag. Etc...but never messed with anything in the taunting area :) > A. I don't want to give xp to mobs, they end up level 35 and crash >the >mud. This is strange. Just remove the level gain checks for mobs. They could (can) still gain xp, but just don't let them level. (I, on the other hand, want to make my mobs level. I just haven't gotten around to it yet). Alternately you can modify the level gain procedure to stop them from leveling past, say, level 30. > B. Having them gossip everytime they kill eachother creates spam and >is >truly annoying.mobs Extra flags for some of these behaviors, IMO, is needless overhead. You have to train new builders, people forgot to put them on etc... I would just make a % chance they would taunt after killing some thing. (NPC to NPC, 100% of taunt on killing PCs) >I just changed if (!is_npc) to if (is_npc) the funny part about it is >they >do gossip after the extraction, with a ton of side effects (blush) Where does this code sit? extract? die? somewhere in mobact.c? --Ziz _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
