I haven't had much luck with the Admin tool myself either.
I tried adding a spawn to the Temple of Veeshan last night. Add the spawn, I see it's x,y,z is 0,0,0 (brand new spawn after all)... so I change the coordinates to what I wanted, -2030, -489,-44... the middle of the circle entry room to the zone. All looks fine. Hit the Commit Changes to Database button, it hourglasses doing it's thing. Pop, my coordinates are back to 0,0,0. Change the coords again to -2030,-489,-44, Commit to Database, changes back to 0,0,0 on it's own again.
Arg.
Change the coords again, hit another tab in the program, come back to the Spawn tab. Coords are still the way I left them. Hit Commit to Database, this time they stick. Woops, I typoed -389 instead of -489 that last time. Change it to -489, Commit to Database, changes back to -389 on it's own. Change it again, tab to another section and tab back to Spawns (tabbing out and back worked last time), Commit to Database, changes back to -389 on it's own yet again.
Finally, I get frustrated and just go into MySQL and give it a:
update spawn2 set y=-489 where spawngroupID=178687;
and take care of the problem myself.
The admin tool arranges stuff nicely, to where I can really understand what I'm looking at... unfortunately it seems to be completely random whether it will actually successfully write the changes to the MySQL database. So I'm thinking I'll use it to start the basics of where I want a spawn, then just update the raw data on that record into MySQL myself.
