Modify spawn rate of event monsters

[Phatkone]

Does anyone know how to modify the spawn rate of event monsters?
My santa goblin spawns in mass, (like easily 20+ in a field at any one time) and I want to drop that down a bit.

Check the map file that contains the spawn information. The rate of the spawn should be there

Have checked them SheenBR,
There is nothing in there about the event monsters.
morif spawns at normal rare rate, just santa goblin spawns all over the place.

hmmm... why dont you check the source? doesnt need to compile, just search the code.
Maybe their rates are hardcoded, i dont remember..

Which event monsters?
There are two ways to have event monsters in game.

***Pre-Set Hotuk Events***
Event monsters are set in the server hotuk
*EVENT_SANTAGOBLIN 5000
This will set santagoblin to spawn at a 50% rate in ALL active maps.
The number at the end is the % rate (can be 1 to 10000 100=1% 1000=10% 10000=100%)

***Summon Monster In Current Map For Event with GM Commands***
/event_monster "Santa Goblin" 1 500
Will summon Hopy monster in the current map you are in for 1 minute at 50% chance (can be 1 to 1000 10=1% 100=10% 1000=100%)

Thanks @SunnyZ

[STRIKE]I had it set in hotuk at EVENT_SANTAGOBLIN but no numerical value, so it must default to a high percentage. [/STRIKE]

Just checked, it is set to 500, as is morif sheltom, but morif sheltom spawns a lot rarer than santa goblin, i've dropped santa goblin to 50 to see how that goes.


I presume mollywolf and morif are the same?

Mollywolf and morif are diff model mobs, but they were always kinda the same drops if not a little different on each server i played.
