There are a couple tuts that I wrote in the Guide section along with some other really helpful stuff.
You need to get a server running locally that you can fully log into.
Then get a feel for pol in general as an admin it is a HUGE switch if you are use to runuo.
Next gimme a yell at runtest.druid@hotmail.com MSN. Once you have done all the steps above so.

1. Download pol 95 distro.
2. Log in locally all the way, that means walking around with admin char.
3. Get a feel for the commands and directories.
4. Take a look at the docs folder and then at the tutorials.
5. Give me a yell and I will help you start out. Also there are alot of people here that will help you alot. Believe me I know.

Happy POLing

If you want to make a chaos guard you could simply take a look into the townguard ai script. Instead of lines like

Code: Select all

if (npc.criminal)

you change that to:

Code: Select all

if (!npc.criminal)

A little work here and there and you have a chaos guard which attacks only people who are not criminal

Now that I think of it. I will have to make an opposite world shard where it hard to become criminal and red and the only way to survive is to be criminal. LOL
