mobs don't aggro

Even when I attack a mob in the middle of a bunch of others which would assist and attack me the mobs still just stand there oblivious.
The onlt mob assists I have encountered is when I kill Cazic Thule in PoFear. He calls for Fright, Dread and Terror who come running across the zone.

I can't stress enough that this _is_ a problem with the maps. Check all the walkthroughs/tutorials/wiki carefully. Check the names of the Directories. Check that there is a map file for the zone(s) in question!!! Make sure that you have logging turned on in your server and check there - I seem to recall that you get a log message if maps can't be loaded.

And when you get a fix post it both here in this thread AND in the wiki!!

Yes, It was extra maps folder. I had changed this the first time and nothing happened. After reinstalling everything, it works. No idea what I did.

If you're using a unix/linux-based server, you need to make sure your maps directory is proper case, as unix file systems are case sensitive. It must be named "Maps" and the map files underneath need to have the exact case as their short_name in the `zone` table of your database has.

I've been having a lot of trouble with my spells and mob agro lately. I couldn't figure it out. I've tried everything except wiping my folders completely and starting over. Today I tried opening a map file to see what was in the file and access was denied. Then it hit me, my maps were downloaded and extracted on an admin account (windows 2k) and I play on a non admin account. So I went to the admin account and checked and sure enough, the files themselves were set to only have admin access. I reset the folder and all child objects to be accessible by all users and logged onto my nonadmin account and everything works perfectly now. If you keep getting "your spell is interupted" and "you cannot see your target" messages, this could part of your problem
