Optimizing for solo play

[ernie]

I am trying to make an Aion server which is better suited for solo play.
I have only been at this for a week, so still finding my way around what is required.

Two things which are not obvious to me so I have to ask.

How do you change an instance eg. Fire Temple, Aethergenics Lab, Indratu Fort etc. to allow a single player to enter?
The instances keep insisting on a group.

How do you change the rank of the spawned mobs?
eg. To convert all the elite rank 2 Balaur mobs around Nute Warren, to regular non-elite versions of the same mobs.

Currently working with Aion-Emulator-4.7.5

A quick way is to modify the packets on the server side so when the client tries to enter, the server will let you in even without a group.

The ranks might be hard coded into the game, so i'd check the packets first to see if you can change the rank when they spawn.

Going into game, attempt to enter an instance that requires a group, see which packets process that functionality.
Look at the body of the packets the emulator sends(SM PKT) and look at the body of the packets the emulator receives(CM PKT) and see what bytes do what.
