There are only .path files for some zones available on the SVN, but don't worry about that as it is not related to your problem.
The problem with Windows (as opposed to Linux) is that it doesn't flush the logs to disk very regularly, so sometimes you will only see the log messages after you
have shut the server down and the logs have been flushed to disk.
You can confirm if the .map has been loaded correctly by typing the GM command #bestz, it should give you a Z value very close to what /loc or #loc
reports. If the .map hasn't loaded, it will say so.
That being said, I tested pulling the two mobs you listed, from the location you specified, and everything worked fine.
I then deleted all rows relating to Maps from my rules_values table (and therefore used the hardcoded defaults) and tried again. This time the mobs hopped
vertically as they were running to me (but didn't disappear or warp backwards).
Some of the rules I am using seem different from the default values. These are the rules values that worked for me:
Code:
You say, '#rules values Map'
[Sat Dec 04 19:13:23 2010] Rules & values in category Map:
[Sat Dec 04 19:13:23 2010] Map:FindBestZHeightAdjust - 1
[Sat Dec 04 19:13:23 2010] Map:FixPathingZMaxDeltaMoving - 12.000000
[Sat Dec 04 19:13:23 2010] Map:FixPathingZMaxDeltaWaypoint - 20.000000
[Sat Dec 04 19:13:23 2010] Map:FixPathingZMaxDeltaSendTo - 45.000000
[Sat Dec 04 19:13:23 2010] Map:FixPathingZMaxDeltaLoading - 45.000000
[Sat Dec 04 19:13:23 2010] Map:FixPathingZWhenLoading - true
[Sat Dec 04 19:13:23 2010] Map:FixPathingZAtWaypoints - true
[Sat Dec 04 19:13:23 2010] Map:FixPathingZWhenMoving - true
[Sat Dec 04 19:13:23 2010] Map:FixPathingZOnSendTo - true
[Sat Dec 04 19:13:23 2010] Map:UseClosestZ - false
All the values are positive, the ' - ' there is just a separator. If you change them in your database you will need to either restart the server or do a #rules reload.
Other than that, I am out of ideas.
