co ordinates

[Atarian]

Hi all

going through the database i have noticed that the co ordinates int he DB dont match the cords you get with /loc, and so i cannot use /loc coords to place a npc in the correct space.

are there 2 sets of cords, or how do i find the ones i want?

for ingame locs you use /loc couse those locs are based upon the map in client if you use /gloc its the loc in database and is based upon code wise zone parameters ( gloc means GameMaster location)

thats what i have been trying to use, but i have noticed coords inthe database arent the same and when using the ones for /loc i have no been able to jump to them or when i have moved an npc, they havent moved to that position.

i am working through the quests as i found some that do not work, and i cant have that , which suits me as i will learn a lot of the programming and stuff and it looks a lot easier than programing asm by using pen and paper using binary. My aim is to have the quest working as the text script says.

the one i am working on atm, is "frontiers" and the npc are not where they suppose to be, found out why master v etc aren playing game, thery are somewhere else, i replace those coords with /loc ones and they dont move they are still there, if i duplicate the coords with the other master v, non quest one, it moves. i have been moving my toon to th eplace i want the npc to be, i have found if you duplicate, put both master v nps on the same spot, it it touch n go whether the quest will continue.

lots of trial an error, but fun.

you will notice in Planars post he said /loc and /gloc

now go in game, and type /loc then type /gloc
you will notice two different sets of co ordinates. As he mentioned above, the /gloc are the coordinates the databases uses, and any GM command such as /jump to x y z region

/loc is used by players, for /faceloc etc
