Need help badly spawning Kael!!

[Ariak]

Okay, this is the list of giant models.


1 - Berserkers (Includes gladiators)
2 - Frost Giant (big cloaked ones)
3 - White Tunic Frost Giant.
4 - Yellow Tunic Frost Giant (Vindi)
5 - Statue of Rallos Zek
6 - Avatar of War

I have only found out how to make #1 and #2.

How do I make 3-4 using eq emu? :(

[Ariak]

Horrible luck spawning Kael. I can't get any of the models to work, pretty much.

[Trumpcard]

Heres my spawnlog to anyone that can use it..

Its got a bunch of different zones in it, but hopefully should be worthwhile.

If anyone needs a spawnlog from a certain zone, let me know , I can zip my druid over there and decode the zone, and post the spawnlog. I'd like to get dumps of Warrens and Stonebrunt, and get them populated. Warrens is actually a really cool zone, with lots of fun mobs and items in it.... :-)

Spawned about 100 kael Mobs.

The Z coordinate on the emu is really wack. I don't know how to fix it.

Almost all of them appeared at the safe spot in the zone. Bah!

Handwork is the Key Ariak.

Run up to the proper x,y cords and take gm loc #loc

Insert them into the DB and voila no more giants at savespot.
(i suggest using access to alter such datas)

Takes some time but works.

Btw. How did you calculate theyr HP ?

[Drawde]

Sorry about this but the EQNPC program I released along with the 0.7 data doesn't work with Velious or Luclin zones and NPC types, it doesn't have any code to recognise their names and convert them to short names/race numbers. However I'm working on this (have already added the code, just need to test it). An updated version should be up in a day or so.

[Trumpcard]

As far as the z axis code goes, what seems to be the problem?

The order out between spawn logs and the emulator use? Is it off by a constant factor? (ie, can you just add +255 to the showeq data and get a zaxis value useful for the emulator?)

If you can detail the nature of the zaxis problem, I'll see if I can come up with a solution...

[Ariak]

I have no idea how it's off, but the z-axis seems to be offset.

Ex:

z:Derakor_the_Vindicator00(2339):70:1377,2367,-212:14.05.54:3:kael:21.06.03.15.3172:(0)

Vindi's Z axis is -212. His actual axis in the emulator is -34.


I have tried adding 178 to all Z-axis coordinates, but that didn't work. (Ex- Vindi -212+178 = -34, but other locs do not work.)

z:a_temple_guardian01(2110):60:1469,2412,-237:14.05.55:3:kael:21.06.03.15.3172:(0)

Temple Guard's Z-Axis in the emulator ranges from -34 to -44.

Just some thoughts, try dividing by 10 and see what you get, and also check the z value in the emu if you reverse the x and y locs.

[Lyenu X`Arie]

PS... we set x/y back to normal for 0.2.6, I'm going to be working on fixing Z soon(tm).

[Lurker_005]

Dividing by 10 worked for some locs I tried, it doesn't seem exactly right, but should be within about 10 of the correct Z

On another note, Ariak your bad spawn in sleepers is
INSERT INTO spawn2 VALUES (10323,20317,'sleeper',478,65,0,180,400,1);

Should be

INSERT INTO spawn2 VALUES (10323,20317,'sleeper',478,-65,0,180,400,1);

[Ariak]

212/10 doesn't equal 34

[Trumpcard]

No, its 21, thats not too far off though... Maybe move it down a bit, a scaling factor so to speak... 221/6.4 = 34

I would think if they were off, they'd be off by a constant factor..

[Ariak]

I will just wait for the fix.

[Trumpcard]

Thats probably a much better idea.... LOL

How do you get a zone to spawn using the Spawnlog.txt? The supplied DB does not have any pops in the zone using the #repop command. Do you have to do something special to get a zone to pop normal mobs, or do you have to individually spawn the mobs, or do I just need to wait for an updated db to get the proper spawns in a zone? Thank you in advance and sorry for asking simple questions but that info wasn't in the readme files. I am using the mini-login just fine to run a home lan server. Thank you.

[Ariak]

Use the info. in a show-eq log to make a list of spawns in EQ EMU ADMIN, and then add the spawns.

You can't use the #spawn command in-game to make a database.

BTW if you haven't gotten it yet Ariak, I haven't been on emu for a while, other things to do, but if I remember right change the gender of giants for other models, I don't remember if it was just the material difference, but I'm pretty sure I changed the gender on them also.
