Yea I hate the way they move too. You will need VB6 and a copy of the source to change the way they walk.

i have both, but i just can't fix it… i know it's (probably) very simple, but i can't can come up with the solution

[PD]

Take a look in modServerLoop > UpdateMapLogic and find the comment 'Lets move the npc' and take a look at that. You should be able to change the way NPCs move in there.

I think there's a 1 in 4 chance the NPC won't choose any direction during path finding. Remove that. Increase timer on movement checks. Done.

I know I'm going to get yelled at for this but what is the name of the timer? I thought it was the walk timer but that's for npcs and players movement… Sorry if this is a stupid question I also looked at updatemaplogic in serverloop and didn't see it :embarrassed:

or help me find one, that would help too :)
