Does spawn.dfn actually support words > 0?
Posted: Wed Sep 27, 2006 7:41 pm
Initially I observed that no matter what I did to spawn.dfn, it would not spawn any NPCs in Ilshenar. I even used a spawn.dfn file which contained only the following:
I went to that location -- nothing showed up. Restarted server, reloaded DFNs, [respawn, you name it -- no luck. It appeared to me that it just didn't support setting the world to 2.
But then I noticed none of the areas I added to the spawn.dfn file for regions on Felucca (0) were working either. Their syntax is copied directly from the existing entries from the community spawn file. I don't understand why they wouldn't work. I have a total of 686 regions set up in this file (regions 0 - 685). Is this too big? The file itself is 107kb. I have made sure that all region numbers are sequential and none are skipped.
I've tried terminating the file with and without ending carriage return. I've tried tweaking all sorts of things. I can't understand why this isn't working properly. An example of some of my other regions:
and
The lists all exist and appear to be valid. Are there any known issues with spawn.dfn? Am I forgetting something? Heh... any help is greatly appreciated, and if someone is willing to look over the file for issues, I'd gladly send it for review.
