How to make Mobs Aggro?!?

[R3P0]

Little lost here, I opened Mob_Pools.sql and am trying to make mobs aggro on my server. According to what I saw 11 spaces down should be the Aggro toggle switch and 12 should be links. I tested this with 2 mobs on a level 1 character, Orcish Fodder which aggros by sight to a level 1 and Wild Rabbit which does not aggro. Slot 11 was set as 257 on Fodder and 256 on Rabbit. When I saved the changes to rabbit making it 257 and bounced the server Rabbits still will not aggro. I found the following settings.

0 - passive
1 - agros to sight
2 - agros to sound
4 - low hp aggro
8 - true Sight
16 - true hearing
32 - magic agro
64 - unknown
128 - unknown
256 - unknown

In another thread but it also did not work, I am lost as to what I am missing here. As theoretically making the same change should work. Help please!

all the static data in the database is only read on startup (so you have to restart the server), and if you edit a .sql file you have to reimport it into the database

I made my modifications here and the mobs now aggro as they should, is there any way to extend the aggro range? As of right now you have to be practically on top of them for aggro. I used mod 24 which should be True Sight and True Sound

there's a mob modifier called MOBMOD_SIGHT_RANGE that controls that, you can either modify the default in mobentity.h::41 or add that modifier to specific mobs to overwrite the default

Kj I added MobMod_Sight_Range to the initialize portion of the mob scripts sometimes it seems to work other times it does not. True sound definitely does not seem to work, is the modifier actually 16 or is it something else?

Mob Pools

Code: Select all

INSERT INTO `mob_pools` VALUES (3092,'Pantokrator',54,0x0000370400000000000000000000000000000000,4,5,12,240,100,0,16,1,2,0,0,7,159,0,0,2,1);

Pantokrator.lua

Code: Select all

-----------------------------------
--  Area: Abyssea - Uleguerand (253)
--   Mob: Pantokrator
-----------------------------------
require("scripts/zones/Abyssea-Uleguerand/MobIDs");
package.loaded["scripts/zones/Abyssea-Uleguerand/TextIDs"] = nil;
require("scripts/globals/status");
require("scripts/globals/magic");
require("scripts/globals/monstertpmoves");
-----------------------------------
-- onMobInitialize
-----------------------------------

function onMobInitialize(mob)
	mob:addMod(MOBMOD_SIGHT_RANGE,50)
end;

[kjLotus]

mob:addMod(MOBMOD_SIGHT_RANGE,50)

should be setMobMod

[R3P0]

mob:addMod(MOBMOD_SIGHT_RANGE,50)

should be setMobMod

Worked like a charm thank you
