[Guide] Placing Monster Spawns

Busman · Aug 27, 2012

This Guide will be compatible with 2.1.5-2.2.3.2

Placing Monster spawns can be a lot of work depending on the number of new spawns you wish to make.

Lets start with elf_skyA02 for an example

You require a elf_skyA02-[BLOCK].dat

This should have all the monster you require and it will load the elf_skyA02m01.dat.

For me elf_skyA02m01.dat contains a monster code and the elf_skyA02-[BLOCK].dat will contain spawn times and secondary dmm monsters to call that you can set in the spt file.

You also require a elf_skyA02.spt

The spt file contains the monster.dat name that has the mob code inside and then the spt will spawn it ingame depending on the cords you set.

Code:

Copy a map that already has working monsters then copy its monster m.dat files and Block.dat

Rename the Block.dat like this

mapname-[BLOCK].dat

rename the m.dat if you want but it isn't necessary the m.dat files as it will be simpler this way you can rename them on a later date.

Open up your spt file and start filling in the cords a long with the m.dat name and dmm name.

This is how the Block.dat should look like with only 3 m.dat files linked

Busman - [Guide] Placing Monster Spawns - RaGEZONE Forums

This is how many mobs should be in game if you have set it up correctly

The number can change randomly depending on how the zone spawns every thing. Restart your zone server a few times and you will notice it will spawn 0-8 randomly if you set up the server to load 3/6 mobs.

If you see any errors with this please let me know and i will correct it.

Here are the files for this map elf_skyA02 for the few mobs i did. They will spawn flems ^^

Re: [Guide]Placing Monster Spawns

yeah don't like writing out big guides lol always seem to forget something and it was around 4-5am when i made this.

If you combine this with http://forum.ragezone.com/f479/release-2-2-3-map-841755/ you will have 2 maps with spawns. Tho if i recall i never got around to adding a portal for one of them maybe i will revisit this on a later date to enhance the map pack.

lol it's fine, was messing with you, you know i do it slightly differently. I truly am lazy, and i fill that dat up all the way with 7 or 8 mobs
so save me lines

Busman · Aug 28, 2012

Re: [Guide]Placing Monster Spawns

lol yeah prob is the best way to do it if you have a few types of mobs on 1 map.

spawn times are in the individual dat files where you place the actual mob code.

in the above guide he calls them the " m.dat" files

EXAMPLE:
in your Elan map folder you'll see like

Elanm01.dat
Elanm02.dat
etc. etc..

In Exile_Land you see
Exile_Landm01.dat
Exile_Landm02.dat
etc. etc..

inside those are the mob codes and the respawn times

Re: [Guide]Placing Monster Spawns

What strs files do I need for this? And in the server map folder I can't find the folder for elven map, even though the elven map works in game.

Busman · Oct 20, 2012

Elven map is called Cora and for editing the m.dat files you can simply use hex. For the block.dat you need the [block].strs. The spt file you can use notepad

DevAnonymous · Oct 27, 2012

1 more question for this i can use other files like Cragmine and rename all the files

the m.dat and the block?

Busman · Oct 27, 2012
