Hey, is there any way to disable all npcs on a city? It seems town npcs are usually scattered among many files. 

 

For instance, an alberta npc is located in... npc/merchants/icecream.txt

 

Is there a faster way at disabling all npcs on a map(mapflag or otherwise) then only allowing npcs from "npc/custom_albertanpc.txt"?

 

(Looking for solutions without duplicating the map)

Are you against instancing the map?

Instancing would allow you to make a 'duplicate' of the map, without adding a separate rsw. It literally makes a mirror of the map and you are able to specify which NPCs (or none) carry over.

Otherwise check this thread: https://rathena.org/board/topic/99924-remove-all-npc-in-mid-camp/

It shouldn't be that hard :)

That's an interesting feature. The limitations seem to be that only a single party and members can enter though.

 

I'd like the map accessible by anybody, as if it were any other map.

 

If I were to use instances, would it be possible to do that?

Instances are unique only to a party currently

Yes and no. It would have to create an instance for each person who enters. If this is for something other than a quest or something that is only done once every so often it wouldn't really be a problem, but, it might be taxing on your server to have 50-100+ instances going on at once. I'm no expert when it comes to instances. I can tell you that they aren't as easy to set up as adding a duplicate of the map.

Thank you all for your suggestons.

But it's obvious I can only do either: a) remove alberta npcs from various files or B) duplicate the map
