Find infos about Corbett Schneider spawn

[geo-tp]

Elaine Trias display_id and location were updated. We need to find information about Corbett Schneider.

See discussion below.

Seems like she also was spawned a bit more on her left. Also... that NPC next to Ben Trias might be Elling Trias, right? Maybe he was not spawned up there.

Image is likely from 0.5.5, considering there appears to be a dwarf player by the name Thorgrim in the general chat. However it might be a human player with a dwarf name, who knows.

Another image from the same location, taken most likely from the same patch: You can see the two NPCs from your picture in this image as well.

Appears Elling Trias was in his release position in patch 0.5.5, whatever NPCs are on the bottom floor is unknown.

Unknown NPC seems to be Corbett Schneider (entry: 1433), we can se on the frame that he is near Elaine Trias/Ben Trias

Good find. Another mystery solved.

[GrenderG]

I actually think Corbett Schneider was never permanently spawned. In Vanilla that NPC spawns in another house after completing quest 333 https://classic.wowhead.com/quest=333/harlan-needs-a-resupply and then proceeds to walk to some other houses, including the Cheese house. Then walks outside and despawn.... So the screenshot might have just captured the moment where that NPC was talking there?

This image is from Vanilla, I just did the quest to check:

EDIT: Now that I'm thinking about it... it's weird that two different screenshots captured the exact moment where Corbett was spawned after finishing that quest, so maybe during the early days he was actually permanently spawned? I'm confused now. :thinking:

[geo-tp]

We have 3 pre release screenshots that show him actually, so i think he is spawned permanently.

Yeah it seems very likely that that was the case.

The text used in the above screenshot is at low enough broadcast text entry to have been a scripted event in alpha. Between entry 283 and 287.

('', 'Hi Corbett!  Here, you go!  I trust business is faring well at your clothier shop...?', 287, 7, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 31727),

Uh, indeed. I'm more confused now.

Here's a listing probably from 0.6 patch. We can't see Corbeit Schneider (we assume, guy who made the listing forgot to go upstairs cause Elling Trias is sureley spawned in this house)

See part of hand at right

Another screenshot where we can see Corbett Schneider spawned

[geo-tp]

This guy seems most likely spawned permanently.

• He is on every npc list from various sources (WoWCentral, Allakhazam, WorldOfWar...)
• He is on 4 pre releases screenshots we have
• It appears on every WBD files we have

This can be closed as well.

As I wrote in #839 he's not a permanent spawn but part of an ambient event that only occurs when a player hands in the quest "Harlan Needs A Resupply" to Corbett's wife, Mara:

First, the quest end script terminates itself if Corbett Schneider is already spawned in a 100 yard radius. If not, it spawns Schneider next to his wife, they talk about him having to deliver goods to Harlan (that's what the quest was about), then the script sets Schneider's movement type to waypoints. Now, the waypoint movement script takes over: he'll go upstairs, fetch his stuff, walk to Harlan, deliver the goods and then go shopping at Trias's Cheese. Then he returns and despawns.

[GrenderG]

Yeah that's the expected Vanilla behavior, but we were unsure if the same happened in 0.5.3. Most likely it did and this Issue can be closed.

[mindphluxnet]

As Daribon commented the entire broadcast text has extremely low IDs so it's extremely likely this was present in 0.5.3
