Help
I got a problem with the Arena Quest Npc
--------
Code:
18:55 Your last visit was on Fri Jun 20 18:50:03 2008.
18:55 [B]Fiko Rivi [214][/B]: hi
18:55 [B]Maningas:[/B] Hello competitor! Do you want to fight in the arena or shall I explain the rules first?
18:55 [B]Fiko Rivi [214][/B]: fight
18:56 [B]Maningas:[/B] So you agree to the rules and want to participate in the challenge? Which difficulty do you choose, Greenhorn, Scrapper orWarlord?
18:56 [B]Fiko Rivi [214][/B]: greenhorn
18:56 [B]Maningas:[/B] The fee is 1,000 gold for one try. Remember that if you die, it is YOUR problem and you won't be able to get back to yourcorpse and your backpack. Do you really want to participate in the arena in the low difficulty?
18:56 [B]Fiko Rivi [214]:[/B] [COLOR="Red"]yes[/COLOR]
18:56 [B]Maningas:[/B] [COLOR="Red"]As you wish![/COLOR]

Seems like you don't have the arena monsters. You need to add them in your monster directory aswell as in the monsters.xml file.

No, you are wrong...

Those errors are because the player is nil so the function cannot get his storage nor name. This NPC wasnt meant for TFS, you should wait for someone to do it.
