Hi, I can get uox3 to run fine on CentOS 6 (basically redhat), but I can't seem to get it to populate spawns. I've altered the spawn.dfn using the spawn map editor and the community build .dfn. I'm running client 7.0.15.1; server muls match it. What am I doing wrong? The documentation is kinda all over the place.

BTW, do I have to insert the .bmp from the spawn region editor back into the mul? Or does it add spawns automatically? that may be where my issue is.

Sorry for the slow reply! The only thing necessary for spawns should be the spawn.dfn file, the bmp is just used for the spawn region editor. There are no warnings or errors showing up in the UOX3 console during startup/when spawning occurs? You can trigger spawns manually using the 'REGSPAWN ALL command in-game, or through the UOX3 console (press * to unlock the console followed by ? to see the menu).

That's the thing, I generated a spawn.dfn using both spawn map utility and the community made spawn one. Regspawn in game gives an error... sec, starting it up. I see no errors during startup, whatsoever

Code: Select all

  UOX Server start up!

Regspawn all errors: Failed to spawn any new creatures or items in 0 regions.

Posted: **Fri Jul 04, 2014 11:11 pm**

I just thought of something, although I'd doubt it'd the issue, never know. I use razor and/or steam to connect to my server. The client side files match the server - do I have to decrypt the files server side?

Posted: **Sat Jul 05, 2014 4:21 am**

Hm that shouldn't matter. Could you upload the spawn.dfn file you're using as an attachment to this forum, so I can take a look? Alternatively, give me a private link if you don't want to make the file public.

Posted: **Sat Jul 05, 2014 4:42 am**

sure thing

Posted: **Sat Jul 05, 2014 4:44 am**

errr...its not attaching.

its the spawn.dfn cfrom community build; nothing edited on it whatsoever

Posted: **Sat Jul 05, 2014 5:03 am**

i have a couple other VMs at my disposal too, i might wipe and restart on a different one at some point in case its an environment bug

Posted: **Sat Jul 05, 2014 6:32 am**

OK, tried it on a fresh VM with same OS and similar environment. Connecting with client gets "The client could not attach to the game server. It must have been taken dow, please wait a few minutes and try again." - but its up and running. I've had this happen on the primary one before; all I did was wait and it worked. Probably the case here, but mentioning it, regardless.

Posted: **Sat Jul 05, 2014 6:45 am**

Yup, same thing. No spawns. Failed to spawn items or npcs etc.

Posted: **Sat Jul 05, 2014 1:28 pm**

Urgh. Apparently dfn extension for for attached files is not allowed.

Either zip it up or copy & paste a couple of regions from the top of the spawn.dfn directly in a post instead?

Posted: **Sat Jul 05, 2014 5:59 pm**

yup yup here it is

Posted: **Sat Jul 05, 2014 10:09 pm**

Alright, I tested your spawn.dfn here on my test-setup (Windows 7), and it seems to work fine. It spawned 10000+ NPCs after I had used the 'REGSPAWN ALL command a couple of times. So the issue lies either with Linux builds or with the map-files (if UOX3 can't find a valid maptile to spawn on, it shouldn't spawn at all).

However, one more thing you could try if you haven't already: Use dos2unix or similar to convert the spawn.dfn file from DOS to UNIX format. I can't test this myself at the moment, though, as I have no Linux environment set up.

Posted: **Sat Jul 05, 2014 10:18 pm**

just ths spawn.dfn file? maps are fine, i think; unless theres something missing. Appears fine when I laod the server, however. I'll give it a shot; thanks for the help. I'll give a head's up when I'm done

Posted: **Sat Jul 05, 2014 10:56 pm**

OK, admittedly I'm a relative noob to linux. Not entirely certain how to use this.

Would I have to run it on all .dfns? Most of them work, jsut a couple gm commands don't seem to work right.

Posted: **Sat Jul 05, 2014 11:20 pm**

slowly figuring it out. doesn't appear to de any different characters if i vi it on the terminal.

Posted: **Sun Jul 06, 2014 1:24 am**

YAYYYYYyyyyyyyyyyyy!

dos2unix didn't work for some reason at first on the community-spawn pack originally, so I did a fresh install and dos2'd the entire dfn directory, working now!

No items spawned, however; not entire certain if that's a separate file or whatever. Haven't really looked around much.

Thanks a ton, Xuri! I'll be on the boards while building my world and hosting it.

Posted: **Sun Jul 06, 2014 1:38 am**

Ah, coolness!

Glad you managed to figure it out - I'm pretty much a Linux noob myself as well

The community spawn.dfn only spawns NPCs, btw. For items (decorations, doors, containers, signs, etc.) you have two options:

1) Download the Default UOX3 Worldfiles from the Downloads-page. This is a pre-made set of worldfiles that contain decorations, doors and signs for all the original towns in Britannia (Felucca facet only, does not include expansion areas). Basically just unzip those to your UOX3/SHARED/ folder, overwriting the existing files there. NOTE HOWEVER that this will also overwrite anything you might have done previously to your world - any characters you've made, items you've placed by hand, etc. It's possible you might have to dos2unix these files as well, btw - however you should avoid doing that to the resource[x].bin files, as those are binary files.

2) Decorate the world yourself, by hand. This is time-consuming, but can be very rewarding since you not only learn a lot about GM commands and how the server works by doing so, but it will also feel more like "your" world as you'll be completely in control of what items go where.
