[Tutorial] Creating Custom Mobs

[SiPex]

Okay i know a lot of people don't know how to do this (I didnt). I just figured it out from messing around with the tables in the database. So here it goes.

Step 1.Connect to your database with your database tool (SQLyog, Navicat, heidi etc..)

Step 2.Click on the Creature_names table and go to your table editor.

Step 3.Make a new row. For entry id, use something thats not already taken by an other npc (this will be .additem <id you chose>)

Subname is the text you see under the creature name in <brackets>

Set flags1 to 0

Type = 0

Family = 0

Rank = 0

unk4 = 0

SpellDataID = 0

For display id, go to www.wowhead.com and type in the name of the npc that you want your custom mob to look like. Once you've found the NPC you like, look at the number at the end of the url it should be something like 5858 (Greater Lava Spider). Next go to your database tool and look in creature_names for the entry id that you found on wowhead. Once you've found it, look at the display id that it has, and put that same display id (in the Greater Lava Spider's Case 7510) into your custom mob's display id column.

unk2 = 1

unk3 = 1

Civillian = 0

Leader = 0

Whew! where done with creature_names :D

Step 4.Go to the Creature_proto table in your database tool.

Step 5.For entry ID, put the same number you put in for the entry id in creature_names(If you dont do this, it wont work)

Level = Your desired Level

Faction = 14

Health = Your desired Health Ammount

Mana = Your desired Mana Ammount

Scale = Your desired mob size

npcflags = 0

attackTime = Your desired attack time

mindamage = Your desired Minimum Damage

maxdamage = Your desired Maximum Damage

rangedattacktime = Your desired attack time

rangedmindamage = Your desired minimum ranged damage

rangedmaxdamage= Your desired maximum ranged damage

**NOTE** I havent found the ranged attack speed/dmg to affect the damage of the mob, but I would put it in just in case.

Mountdisplayid = 0

All of the itemslot/displayid/info = 0

Respawn time = Your desired respawn time (miliseconds i think) Default is 360000

All resistances0-6 = Your desired mob resistances

Combat reach = 0

Bounding radius = 0

Auras = Leave it blank

Boss = 0

Money = Your desired ammount of money dropped by the mob

Wewt we're done with creature_proto ;)

Step 6.Now we will add the mob's loot.

Index = Use 9999999 To be safe (Yes, that many 9's :p)

Entry = Your Custom Mob's entry id (999999)

Item ID = Entry id for the item you want your mob to drop. (For mulitple drops, use the same creature id but a different index number)

Percentchance = Your desired item drop rate.

mincount = Your desired minimum ammount of how many times the item drops per kill.

maxcount = Your desired maximum ammount of how many times the item drops per kill.


Woot we're done

I hope you enjoyed this guide, sorry if I didn't make myself to clear at times xD Post any questions you have. :)

Nice Work ...

[Golepa]

It's amazing how people can't make custom mobs. If you can create a vendor, you sure can create a custom mob. Anyway, excellent tutorial SiPex. :)

Thx. Well I'm sure a lot of people just download vendors, and don't really learn how to use the database.

[Golepa]

Just like me. :D (I can use db and know SQL though)

I could make my own vendors. Once I actually make like 20 or so.. Though, nowadays I'm too lazy to make any vendors, since I have school and other stuff going on. I can always make like one vendor per day but that's it.. :P

ok i fallowed step by step carefully and i cant get the mob i created to drop the loot i made i even made it like in the guide with all those 9's.. and im using ac repack and i cant find mincount and maxcount..

[SiPex]

It could be the revision you are using. For revision 1071+ you need to execute these (It should still work if you are under 1071, and it will add mincount and maxcount. ALTER TABLE creatureloot DROP heroicpercentchance;

[killer60106]

kk im a noob so can u help me and tell me where i put that code and how pls:(
also i forgot to put that im using navicat.. if its just putting into a notepand and executing batch i keep getting error

[Err] 1091 - Can't DROP 'heroicpercentchance'; check that column/key exists
[Msg] Finished - Unsuccessfully

[SiPex]

if you're using navicat, tell it to continue through errors.

[killer60106]

cant u tell me how to continue threw errors cause i cant seem to get it working :confused:

[ironbuns]

this is easy enough, but there seems to be a problem with actually displaying the names correctly. i set up the npcs but the names don't show up on the npc itself. same goes for displayIDs. the thing is, when you check it with <.npc info> it checks out fine. the correct name is displayed. So why doesn't it do the same for the displayed name? (on the health bar)

Delete the cache folder in your wow directory.

You might not have set the drop percent high enough. Or you might not be using the right core.

If U Use Ascent Hisgher 1071 And Hav Applied Update This Guide Is Out Of Date!!!!

[SiPex]

If U Use Ascent Hisgher 1071 And Hav Applied Update This Guide Is Out Of Date!!!!

I use rev 1142 and it works fine.

[kingdrani]

where can i find table editor?

[SiPex]

where can i find table editor?

You need to use a database tool like SQLyog or navicat.

[kingdrani]

y im use heidsql

can u plz tell me where the table editor is plz?

[Takeover]

Heidisql will work just as good for a table editor, you just need to run the MySQL from your antrix folder first, then setup a connection using heidisql.

BTW, i also have a question about this guide. how can i make the monster non agressive? (I.E. yellow name, and wont attack until you attack it). i know its just modifying a flag, but i dont know which one, or what to put as the value. Also.. AMAZING guide, works great, i have my first 4 custom mobs going, 3 bosses and 1 trash mob, thx soo much for it!

[mitch07]

im lost with step 6 what table do i go into to add alll the info for step 6? cause its not in creature_names or creature_proto
nvm i found it ty
if u want ur custom mobs to drop more than 1 item how do u make that? just add a new line in the creatureloot table with the same info except different itemid thingo? kind of like wat u do with a vendor
y when i go to edit my mobs info like name and subname i type it in search something random then go back to that mob the info hasnt changed it just went back to the original name i gave it

[dagsvik1]

i know a more esey way :P to make NPCs items and quest...

[brooky]

can i use the ascent DBE editor to do this ???

[kilijan]

Step 6.Now we will add the mob's loot.

Where is step 6 ... ? where to open which table :SSSSS???????

[dragoon478]

It's amazing how people can't make custom mobs. If you can create a vendor, you sure can create a custom mob. Anyway, excellent tutorial SiPex. :)

I think most people use wow-v to create there vendors

Edit:
acsect database editor works for this.

[LordJedi]

yeah i did it works nice thx guys

and i wanna ask something umm how can i create boss or elite??

and last kilijan at step 6 :
open "creatureloot" table and create a new row then
Index : 9999999
Entry : I did same number like step 3 and it works
Percentchance : 50 (mean %50 ^^ )
Mincount : 1 (how many drop min)
Maxcount : 5 (how many drop max)

if u r not idiot u can do it i think lol

[Blackboy0]

If you guys want to create Custom Mobs, just go to WoW-V Vendor Creator (http://wow-v.com/create.php?tool=vendor) but when its done creating the Mob and the Query comes up, find the 'Faction' part and change it from whatever it is to 14 (Monster Faction). You can also change the Level to every time you spawn it its between 70 - 80 or 41 - 52 or whatever you want. Its a VERY cool site, its for Custom Items/Jewels/Bags/Ammo/Vendors and Armor.

-Blackboy0

Btw, you would wanna keep the Entry ID (Spawn ID) below 5 digits (Highest being 99999) because for some reason AC-Web Ultimate Repack 7.5 doesn't take higher than 6 digits in the Item and Creature Spawns.

[Necrofrost]

Thank you SO MUCH.

+repness

[xlazarusx]

how you make them elite?


And why wont my mobs respawn? I made them and spawned them but they never respawn..is there something i need to change? I have the respawn time set to 2000 to test it, i had had it set to 30000.. but they dont respawn either way.

[paco]

Alright I do EXACTLY as you said but when i go back to look at the information i just put in... its all gone X.X

[Blackboy0]

Wtf lol, I came out with a Guide on Vendor Creation AND this, and nobody Posted in them! :( Good job though...

[dagsvik1]

why can't they just use EDB editor?

[cholzzon]

Thx for the custom mob loot +rep

[dragonseto1]

[dancoolman]

can anyone give me a npc sapwn liek lvlv 70 to 80 my sever 80 sever and im gonna put the mobs in hyjal can nayone give me like code please?
thank you

anyone plz 70 to 80 mobs ty

[lookapally]

Simple, easy-to-read guide, props to you sir.
Two questions, though.
1)
go to your table editor.
I'm new to SQL DB editing. I've only imported stuff from WoW-v. So, i'm not quite sure how to do this. (Nothing is labeled 'table editor'). Can you direct me to a Heidi/whatever guide?

2)
Your guide presumes a particular type of mob (hostile trash mob). Is there a guide somewhere to understanding the flags, and how to make other things? (I'm designing a Welcome NPC)

Thanks for your work, and for sharing your knowledge with us peasants.


EDIT: Okay, used Navi, figured out #1.
