Guide to creating instanced zones?

[Templus]

Cool. Thank you

I still can't seem to find out why my instance has no NPCs and buffs that last only 3 minutes .. perhaps I need to find some kind of a database update...

..... Went and got pretty much every database update and now I can't login to my server anymore =\\\ ....

starting from scratch again ..... =\

Still would like to get this instance bug resolved (without my attempts that cause my server to crash) =\

Ok I see now.. I fixed the issue with there being no spawns.. (basically I figured out what that variable meant in createzone)

here's the new code:

my $instanceID = quest::CreateInstance("freportn", 0, 6400);
quest::AssignToInstance($instanceID);
quest::MovePCInstance(8, $instanceID, 277, -162, 18);

I'm still however having problems with buffs that I cast only lasting 3 minutes ...
