check you have set them up correctly in your npc.txt file or whatever it's named, try experimenting with other numbers etc. I had this problem once.

they are the normal 2.3 ones with with a few npcs added to them.

OK m8 but still sounds like the images are outta line or even missing

it's probably not called npc.txt. It's the text folder where you add npc's and their numbers IE "npcname 306 215 0 9 0 0 1." You might have the npc appearances wrong in the text file which causes them to flash, the same thing happens with mobs if their appr is wrong. It would be in the mir200 folder somewhere, sorry i'm at work and have a bad memory so i can't find where the file i'm talking about is lol.

yep its very annoying.

theres no mir200 in the 2.3 client lewis, its mostly sql and i used the same image numbers on my server with the same wil's and it worked fine. im stumped as to what is causing it..

is the npc flashing happened after a long time? or right away?

are you using a different exe? maybe the WIL has to be certain type?

its been happening for along time, but it starts straight away after a reboot.
usually an npc will turn 3 directions, the npcs will stay in the same direction for all 3 turns, then go invisable for 10seconds and restart at the same direction again.

iv tried using the same exe on another server and it works ok, and Iv tried using a fresh exe on the problem server and the problem still exists.

the only thing i can think of is the m2 server is not loading the npcs correctly.

some times its a lag prob

other then that it can be with the exe

i think iv pin pointed the problem down to npc_def or TBL_NPC . as npcs in merchant_Def / TBL_MERCHANT dont flash..
