to be honest we set it up so that anyone could get ingame straight away aslong as they have set up sql and restored the DB correctly.
someone asked to a post
"may i ask whats been changed and added please. cept all the file's in one and added al lthe updates from UPDATE.DOC"
and his reply was
"some of the inis changed, originally some were left at 192.168.*.*, old gate exes removed, !setup said (local) dbsrv said localhost, line 14 in mapquest removed, old dbs removed, folders added for online inis, shows where to put online ip. generally anything where people were confused and posting the same help request over and over. if you have set up sql correctly, and changed the password in !setup.ini and dbsrc.ini to what you used when creating the sa account, and restore the db correctly then these will run."
this is the case as we set it up as an offline server and both tested that we could connect on his server and on my server which we did . and this is the end result, a set of server files allready to go with all offline ips set and new folders with online ini's ready to be swapped with offline ones .
- How do i add myself as GM?
- I dont have Mobs on my server... Why?! what do i have to change so that Mobs spawn?
- How do i add/remove NPCs? And especially, how do i change the Stuff they sell/repair/buy and how do i change the prices?
Thats it for now. Im sure more Questions will follow.
I can try to explain a bit.
to start at the top of your list of questions
-TBL_ADMIN for GM in the DB or use the m2server options .
- check that the mobs are set to enabled in the TBL_MONSTER in the FLD_ENABLED
or make sure there are monsters in the TBL_MONSTER
- write the scripts think what map and co ords you want them placed on and then add the info to the TBL_NPC or TBL_MERCHANT for each npc or merchant you wish to add , removal is simpler just look for the FLD_ENABLED in both merchant and |npc tables.
as for prices they are in the db aswell in TBL_STDITEMS and the FLD_PRICE but the items for sale are in the text files u need to add what each does at the top like this
(@buy @sell @repair @s_repair)
(npc script)
and then the list at the end of script.

could a MOD sticky this post as its a fully working updated set of TD's files including updates (well as upto date as we can have them according to the releases) of the exes and basic files.
me thinks we need to look at the mongen and maps etc on ida's DB .
even though its the same as TDs db but just updated
EDIT:- well i just installed the same files and restored the db and went ingame and within a few minutes all mobs were spawning allover the maps that spawn that are included in the STANDARD DB(included) so i really havent got a clue why urs arent except for the fact that if you were to look at sql ud notice that PB, Easter, hI, Fox and a few other maps are the only ones that have mobs spawning from the TBL_Mongen.
sorry but you will need to add mongen from other files or add ur own to get them to spawn.
havent a clue what u are looking at but these are the only maps that have mobs spawning, its basic files so if you want mobs on 0,1,2,3,4,5, all caves so on and so forth then i suggest you add them, this database was supposed to be the one TD released with his 2 sets of files (my new exes and basic set)
View attachment monsters.txt
this file is in alpabetical and numerical order of all the MONGEN thats was standard and not every map, so if you are after hens ,scarecrow,yobs,omas wolf,visceralwom,sandworm, frosttiger etc etc then you need to add them to SQL .
If you notice the text file it only has a few maps and not the whole of mir maps included .
well yes BP and all others are supposed to spawn but like i said this DB was the standard included with TD's releases in the stickys in this section . (Single DB not the Double DB)
if you want more mobs spawning then its gonna need adding by your selves.
you could d/l the my new exes and check the included non FLD and TBL updated DBs in there just incase they have more mobs spawning on other maps.
