MonsterSetBase Configuration

Monster Set Base Config
- Guide -

Hey everyone
The last 2 past years I have always noticed in the MuOnline community that many people do not know how to properly place monsters and NPCs the way they want to and instead search ready made MonsterSetBases.I used to do that too but the last server I had I made it from 100% scratch,custom.
So lets get started :

1.NPC

Lets see how we place an NPC.They are placed one by one unlike big monster spots.Lets take this example :

241 0 0 130 137 3 // Guild Master

241 is the code for the Guild Master.Each Monster and NPC have a similiar code which is always placed first.For example,if you wanted to place Lahap(he is a npc) at the same position(coords) instead of the Guild Master you wouldn't put 241,you would put 256(its Lahap's code).
0 is the map number.Each map has a different number.Lets have some examples:
0 = Lorencia
1 = Dungeon
2 = Devias
3 = Noria
4 = Lost Tower
And so on.Therefore if you changed map number to 2 for example,the Guild Master would appear in Devias instead of Lorencia at the same coords(130 137)
0 here is the movement range.The only NPC able to move in standard Mu Online files is the Guard.So therefore for all other NPCs put 0 in movement range.This topic will be explained more in the 2nd part with monsters.
130 137 are the coordinates on the map.On your main screen ingame when you are playing the coordinates are written on the bottom left.Each spot on the map has a coordinate,x for horizontal and y for vertical.Get the proper coordinates to place NPCs properly.
3..the devil of the devils...so many people don't know what it represents and yet it is so vital for NPC placement.This number represents the direction your NPC will face.3 here means your Guild Master will face downards to the right.
1 = Downwards to the left
2 = Straight downwards
3 = Downwards to the right
4 = Straight right
5 = Upwards to the right
6 = Straight upwards
7 = Upwards to the left
Its all in an anti clockwise movement from 0 to 7
// GuildMaster is optional (recommended) as it makes it easier to analyse and modify your MonsterSetBase(MSB).

2.Monsters

This is where things get pretty sweet and serious.Lets get started straight away :

Group Monster Placements
3 0 10 183 126 184 128 -1 15 // Spider

3 is yet again the monster code.3 is for the spiders.If you wanted,for example,to place a Kundun Demon instead you would put 275 instead of 3.
Yet again the map number.The codes for different map numbers are located in the NPC section above.
The movement range.This is where it gets important.The movement range decides how far monsters can move from the place where they are spawned from(which are the coordinates,in this case 183 126 and 184 128.Here is is 10.They can move 10 x and 10y axis from the coordinates,which isn't much.Therefore for a tight spot for fast leveling I recommend you use 10 or 5(10 better).For monsters to fairly move around I recommend 20.If you want monsters to move a lot so that they fill up well a map so that no spaces are left empty I recommend 30.
Coordinate #1 : This is the first coordinate for your 15 spiders.In this mode you need 2 different coordinates.Here they are 183 126(183= x axis ; 126 = y axis)
Coordinate #2 : The second coordinates.
-1 means you enable them to move.You need to keep -1 here so that they don't stay stuck on the coordinates from which they spawn.If you put 0 for example,they won't move and item drops will fall on top of eachother.So -1 is a very important factor for good monster spots.
15 is the number of spiders that will spawn from each coordinate.Therefore there will be 15 spiders at 183 126 and 15 other spiders at 184 128

Single Monster Placements
Here its to place 1 single monster at a specific coordinate(spot).It is slightly different from the group monster placement but more simple to make :

300 8 10 22 206 -1 // Exe Mutant

300 is the monster code for the Exe Mutant
8 is the map number for Tarcan
10 is the movement range.Since 10 is rather small this means this monster is placed for a rather tight spot for faster leveling up.(Remember,this is only one monster).
22 206 are the coordinates where the Exe Mutant will spawn from(appear).22 is the x axis and 206 is the y axis.
-1 here again,means you enable him to move around in his movement range of 10 .Remember,its important to always have -1 and not 0.

I hope this guide has helped you.If any questions or problems post here.

Good guide brother .

thank you for the guide... im just starting to learn how to edit this things...

If need any help or some already done coordinates or monster/npc codes feel free to ask me!

Nice Work Bro

thx for this.. there was another similiar, but it was old :)

10/10

Some cool monster codes (make sure your DB supports these before you add to your msb) :
Daredevil : 295
Shadow of Kundun : 267
Exe Crust : 301
Exe Mutant : 300
Cursed King : 66
Gigas Golem : 303
Fire Golem : 291
Shriker : 274
Kundun Demon : 275

Recommended for Stadium/Arena , Lost Tower 1,Devias 4 and any spots of your choice! :flex:

Nice little recap

Well done

very good guide for the noobies :)

Thanks
Newbies need guides like this..I still can't believe I figured all this out myself..after months of work! ^^

When I add the one with the 2 coords. The multiple one it does nothing. I made sure the Monster Number was correct.Map correct, Radius Coord 1 and Coord 2 EVERYTHING. Any idea why it isnt working?

I had that problem too
You just gotta add the mobs first as an NPC, then you add it as a spot with the same first coords :)

Really useful, keep up the good work Crystal-X!

is very good is guide is good ...... but for n00b :D

nice guide :)

No problem.Group placements are very useful as:

Keeps your MonsterSetBase organised
Makes text less long
Easier to locate where you placed monsters
Place more monsters in one text string > Space efficient

i understand where to put coordanates e.t.c but i want to make a spot which the monsters will stay there ;)

I want orc warior monster to be in one place without to move ...

i have this :

120 6 10 42 111 0 30 // Orc Warrior

what change i have to do to work?

could u help me?

i use ur server files Dboyz 1.2 Q-)

120 6 10 42 111 0 30 // Orc Warrior

-------------->

120 6 0 42 111 0 30 // Orc Warrior

ok and that but one question more how i can do this to have more mosters?

120 6 0 42 111 0 30 // Orc Warrior

30 is for the monsters but i want to increase for more moster if u understand what i mean;)
then how i can do that?

can ne one give me code for kundun mobs PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the tutorial!

i can't set monster in silent map.Moaster can't walk.I don't understan.Why not?.help me please.:ehh:

Hi Alex

Do you have already done monstersetbase file with LOTS of big monsters everywhere and in all maps

Code:

---

1 = Downwards to the left
2 = Straight downwards
3 = Downwards to the right
4 = Straight right
5 = Upwards to the right
6 = Straight upwards
7 = Upwards to the left
Its all in an anti clockwise movement from 0 to 7

---

-1 is random

what does 0?

Code:

Good day master,

I just want to learn how to add an NPC for Reset Character level, which they've called "Reset master" however, I don't have any Idea about that, can you teach me how to start? and where to start? If you just have time to consider me as your student hehehe, Im a newbie here trying to start my clean server, with my nephew, I hope you can help me, your quick response is highly appreciated, Thank you.

Thanks for the guide. Nicely explained. It'd be good if you could add a list of mob IDs here too though ;-) (Although it is super easy to find online)
