New Adventure Tool Request

Yep, you can think of versions like spawn_conditions, except you cannot change them on the fly once the zone is up. Also, a bit off-topic but while I am thinking of it for the time being, spawn_conditions won't work in an instanced zone. I imagine what will happen is it'll work fine in the first version, but once the second version boots the conditions will effect both zones simultaneously.

Hmm... if Version 0 of spawns appear no matter what version of a zone you have loaded, and the default is version 0, then making a blank instanced version of a normal zone sounds like it could be rather difficult.

I suppose you could move all of the existing NPCs to Version 1, and load Version 2 when you want your instanced version, but then how do you make sure everyone is always loading Version 1 of a zone when they don't want the instance, instead of Version 0, which would now have no NPCs in it?

I'm sorry, I was mistaken. Version 0 spawnpoints will only spawn in the default (version 0) zone. If you want that particular NPC and spawngroup to spawn in another version, you need to copy the spawn2 entry and set a new version. I was thinking about doors, traps, and objects where they WILL spawn in all versions if set to 0.

[Shendare]

Ah, now that makes sense.

Thanks for the clarification!

KLS just corrected me, only traps will appear in all versions if set to 0. doors and other object work like NPCs.

[Shendare]

Cool! The more control, the better, IMO!

And I even said traps would follow the versioning concept, but hadn't tested it.
