how to properly implement a custom misc item and npc

[quakeman00]

i have set items whitin the id 57000 and 57004 and 2 npc with 57000 and 57001

the sprites , .act , and even description and npcindentity file have been edited for them but i dont know wtf to do now , even witha  patch they dont show up in the game "unknown item and invisible npc" but they exist in the grf file

 

also the items are misc , not armor

What's your Client Date? Clients since 2011 ~ 2012ish uses a new method of item listing.
I guess all info you need can be found here. Look for New Clients.

that answered for the items but  not for the npc

[quakeman00]

i have added the .spr and .act in the npc folder on my grf.

then i edited

jobentity.lub

    JT_4_F_GENEROSITYWORKDONE = 7000,

jobname.lub

   [jobtbl.JT_4_F_GENEROSITYWORKDONE] = "4_F_GENEROSITYWORKDONE",

and npc.identity.lub

    JT_4_F_GENEROSITYWORKDONE = 7000,

 

what now? i dont get whats missing for it to show in the game

and no its not entity limit , i can spawn monster and npc with entry beyond 10000

Change this:

 [jobtbl.JT_4_F_GENEROSITYWORKDONE] = "4_F_GENEROSITYWORKDONE",

To this:

 [jobtbl.JT_4_F_GENEROSITYWORKDONE] = "JT_4_F_GENEROSITYWORKDONE",

its not that tho :/ and now that there is an answer nobody will look at it and help me so ill have to reopen another question

[Haziel]

Since I know you already figured about LUA files, the thing with your trial on adding a NPC is the ID.
7000 is reserved for Homunculi if I'm not mistaken, from 0 to 100 are NPCs, and over 10000, check the list here.

dosent work with 17000

 

is there anything i sould do on server side to make them apear?

and these .lub goes in datainfo folder or in the lua file fodler , some grf have them in datainfo but other grf have them in the lua file

The MAXID for NPCs is around 10200 ~ 10300 til now.
You're most like to replace an official one or add it as a MOB.

GRF structure varies according to client date, that's why you should use an data/GRF accordingly to your Client Date.

i edited the max npc number to 30000 on the server side.

 

but yet there has to be a step on the server side to confirm that the npc exist

and the question about the lua still stand , where do i put them?

Well, never heard of anyone using a so late 2016 client, but I'll take your word for it.
luafiles514/lua files/datainfo it is.

NPC ID are hardcoded, limited in client.

src/map/npc.h#L107-L111

[quakeman00]

what would be the changes id have to make if i wanted to take a mob instead ? there seem to be more room for it and mob id can also be used as npc. so i need all the animations in the act file or just1  front and 1 back still frame be enough for idle.

Server-side, you said.
It doesn't changes nothing on Client limitations.

There's no server-side confirmation.

And the question, again, turns back to you, depends, on, client, date.
