tivo444 Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Hello. I noticed that Jagex randomized the NPC ID's. No NPC's ID is what they should be. Is there any way to get the real ID of the NPC? Thanks

Khaleesi Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 You can turn on entity debug and then hover over an entity in the game to get the ID. He means an Id that doesn't change But most of them / all of them change every thursday I think.
Dreamliner Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Assuming they make a Map of NPC's -> ID at loading the game, you could try to reflect that variable. Each ID is stored in a static location in the cache, so there needs to be some way to tracing it back to what it really is. A brute force approach to this could be to find the NPC models in the cache itself and compare ingame model to cache model. If they match, you know what NPC it is. (but there's easier ways - like names for instance)
Dog_ Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Why not use names instead? Ids will change frequently as you have seen. Names tend to be unreliable.
tivo444 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 Names tend to be unreliable. Yes. There are atleast 10 different "Guards"
Dreamliner Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Yes. There are atleast 10 different "Guards" L2Filter

(but there's easier ways - like names for instance) This is relevant to me. I actually need a way of telling ea dragon from the other. If the model of ea dragon is the same, but the coloration is different, will I still be able to tell the difference in the dragons based off the model? Edited July 13, 2014 by Deffiliate
