Copying zones
 
Is there a way I can make copies of existing zones? Like having 3 different Rivervales all with their own spawns, items, etc. I've tried adding new entries to the zone database table but it didn't work.

No tool exists for this, and this is extremely hard if not nearly impossible.

copies
 
what you are looking for isn't really copying zones but is instancing (which had in the past and continues to be a rather large obsticle). but what you can do is is delete a zone file you dont plan on using ie mmca and copy rivervale and rename it so it says mmca. this is client side only but you can place in your own custom spawns.

Actually in theory it is possible. Would require a lot of work though.

Have an NPC manually hand out instance flags to Rivervale
Have a spawn condition set when someone enters the zone
Spawn condition would be based on what instance flag the player has

NPC would need to be setup for each spawn condition of Rivervale

Side question, and I don't mean this rude just wondering. Why do people keep saying instancing is an obstacle?

oblticle
 
apparently no one has ever been sucessful

Instancing works great for me :)

If people give me feedback on where they get stuck or what is not working I am more than happy to tweak the code or explain the process.
