The 3rd column in world1-mmap.scp is the X co-ordinate of the spawn not the 4th It tells you at the top of each column what the column is. Post the line so we can see what you have done wrong as i suspect you are putting things in the wrong columns.

Don't bother with /_csummon as it doesn't do what you think it does. It is not a GM command it is a client test command. Only you can see the summoned mob, it won't move and if you attach it you will crash.

thanks chumpy...im adding like this
216 789 79 78 64 11 18000000 1 <null> <null> <null> 0 0 0 0 0 0

whend smthing goes wrong means im unable to c the login server... again i need to delete the lines and try smthing again....im only changing the 4th and 5ht columns as its mentioned there X and y AXIS...when we will monster it shud spwn immedeatly wht lines we shud add in the spawn time


and another thing is the monster after killing dropping nothing i wana make a good drop outa it...can u suggest me hw to edit drop rate for specific monster and where can we get the item codes of all items in cabal

i actually double posted this topic...plz sm moderator delete the new one

[chumpywumpy]

After editing and you can't log in do you see "ace assert" errors in the worldsvr logs? This sounds like you are editing on windows and doing that will convert the file from unix format to dos format and the server does not like dos format files. I use Crimson Editor (look at the bottom of the topic in my sig) as it supports unix format and will not convert the file (you can do so under Document->File format if you need to). I must do a little Crimson tutorial soon.

To set the drops for a specific mob you have to change the [MobsDrop] section of world1-terrain.scp (or whichever world). Add line and use your mob ib in "speciesidx" and edit the itemkind (item number) and itemopt. If the world file doesn't have anything in this section take one from another world file.

A list of all items is hard to do because of itemopts but i like fabby's list for basic things. http://forum.ragezone.com/f459/more-...m-list-460104/

I deleted the other topic.

i didnt c any of tht kind errors in worldserver...im opening the file thru win scp,its opening thn im editing the file and thn restarting the server and trying logging in.....im unable to c login server...u saying tht i shud open the file in crimson editor and thn save it to linux instead of tht notepad or smthing???

i will try that and post the result here..im copy pasting tht lines directly into the world1.mmap..if im trying to edit and save it means im unable to c login server at all....i didnt find ne error in login server and also in worldserver,take like i wnt to swpn the monster immedeatly so im taking of 1800000 and putting 12000,and thn save it means it nt working....may b editor i willl chk tht also....thanks chumpy for time


EDIT:- i shud install crimson on windows or on linux? can u post ne guide on editing files on linux with crimson editor....

[mod]vamsi.krisk: do not double post, use edit[/mod]

[chumpywumpy]

The edit itself looks ok. I woudl set the min level to 1 instead of 0. I have never tried a rate like 100.00000000000000000 as i always stick to .xxxxxx like the rest of the files have.

Crimson should be installed in windows. Open the scp file and click View->Tab Size->Custom tab size and set it to 32. All of the columns should now line up properly which makes things easier. Make sure the file in in unix format using Document->File format and then make you edit. Save and copy back to centos.

100.0000 works.. and after some repeated testings with the above given configs Server is working fine.. 100x = each kill u get drop........... But problem is as soon as u finish editing.. nothing shows up in the server select screen ( that is after u restart the server)... So.. service cabal reload ( like 5 times repeatedly.. ) then channels show up..

[vamsi.krisk]

Thanks chumpy...problem solved now....i edited mob drops and also spawned monsters in the server...

I made a Channel wid premium,war and Trade...i cleaned all the creeps in bloodyice and thn spawned only monsters and made custom drop for thn seperately only for premium members.....this is also done with the help of ur guide....

Finally another problm is tht i wana change channel names,but there is no guide or so on hw to change channel names....if nething u could help us on this....

CABAL=CHUMPY=GOD=PRIVATE SERVERS=CHUMPY=CABAL

[chumpywumpy]

Channel names are something we can't easily change because the names are in the client enc files and we can't edit enc files. You can patch it in memory whilst the client is running if you can code that sort of stuff.

[vamsi.krisk]

thanks chumpy we cant edit the memory and all...not tht pro in software field....another problem in our server is recently players getting dc in when they doing basic crafting...and come getting dc in dungeon quest its tping bak to town...some getting error code-6.....wht could be the reasons?

[chumpywumpy]

Almost all d/c problems are due to the client enc files not matching the data in the server. The 2 sets of data must match exactly so you cannot support any client version you want, you must all use exactly the same enc files at least in your login patch. My patch is in /etc/cabal/docs on the server.

D/c bugs are still a big problem though and none of the patches here are perfect and fixing the bugs without decoded enc files is almost impossible. The only decoded enc files we have aren't much use. I am decoding 3 sets today so i can post them so other people can help me find the bugs and get rid of them for good.

[vamsi.krisk]

oh oki..plz post the decoded encs so we can help in som way chmpy...waiting ahead

[chumpywumpy]

I just posted 4 sets in the unified client topic (development section).

[KuyaEarl]

Since this post is about monsters. Maybe I could also ask about how to change the level of the monster?

I asked ur question in another topic started by you.
