I Prepare the megaspawner to appear 10 fandancer in real time. But when is the correct time the mostruos not appear. I need to make an update in megaspawner in real time showing.

Otherwise it is not what is the function of despawn.

The despawn function is not working for you?

The purpose of despawning is so that you can have monsters appear during certain hours of the day only. These hours can be game hours or realtime hours.

Z Axis Spawning Question....

I was playing around with MegaSpawner and was wondering if there was a way to get a mobile to spawn at a specific z axis like (-115 - or in real life terms 115 feet below the surface)... instead of random like it has been doing.


e.g., the physical location of the spawner is at -115 z axis but the npc's or creatures spawn between -115 z axis and 0 z axis anyway.

What I want to happen: all creatures from this spawner just spawn at the same level -115 z axis... lol

any suggestions?

Well it's been probably 3 years since I've looked at the MegaSpawner code, but I would guess is I didn't code it to support what you are asking. When I get a chance (probably not tonight), I'll take a peek and see if that's the case.

Unfortunately I don't support this system anymore since it's too old and I'm out of practice. The fix would require an edit to the spawning settings gump (or whatever it's called), and a whole bunch of changes to add the property to the system. This would require immense amount of work since the system was not coded properly. I should have used OOP methods by creating objects with properties vs the ArrayList nightmare that is this version and all before it. This is of course over 3 years ago and I didn't know C# as well as I do now (of course I'm still not remotely an expert).

I wasn't going to publicly announce this just yet, but take a peek at the first post on this thread under the "Important information" section... :D

Morxeton, Morxeton, Morxeton...

I am probably not the only one, yet then again maybe I am, who thinks you should take the time to improve MegaSpawner if you have the time and can do it...lol. Honestly man, this is the BEST spawning program available that I've seen; the others are too much like the RunUO default spawners and are way too complex (for my feeble mind) to use.

MegaSpawner offers a lot of visualizations, the ability to add items not only to containers but also into the packs of individual spawns... and its unique cause its laid out so clearly that a 5 year old can grasp the idea (yes I tested this with my 5yo son). So you've done an awesome job, don't beat yourself over the head cause you think its coded wrong. lol. :p

Thanks for the wonderful comment! However, this version of MegaSpawner is coded wrong... not that I'm beating myself over the head for it, but updating and bug fixing are an absolute nightmare due to the code problems.

One thing I did right for sure was the ease of use and customizations, but the code behind that... oh man. Don't get me started on the disasters that are the gump scripts. Passing ArrayLists around instead of custom objects... ack!

After 3.25 years since the release of v3.68 (this version), I'm actually working on a v4 (I decided this recently when I finally got some code to work perfectly). It will be a complete system rewrite. More details in first post of this thread.

Sweet Man, That's Really Good News

Please add in a spawn positioning system ROFL.... okay dream a lot, but it would be an awesome addition to be able to spawn an NPC at the X, Y, and Z coordinates you actually want them to spawn rather than have it random.

Can't wait to see what you come up with! Positioning system or not, I am positive it will be an awesome script :D

Click to expand...

This version was originally designed to operate under RunUO1. Due to the changes to the core in RunUO2, this version will not work. Here is a link to the post for a version that was updated to work with RunUO2 (thanks to Lucid Nagual for the update):

Hi,
i'm using megaspawner with a recent SVN of RunUO 2.0 (SVN 285 ML 122 to be exact). The system work fine...

...until i restart!

Restarting the server, cause some problems (i think about deserialize maybe?) and he has a problem (after loading every script with no problems) with a megaspawner. He ask me to delete that spawner, and if i say "yes" he ask me if i want to delete EVERY megaspawner on the map.

In every case, if i say "yes" or "no", he says that an exception will be thrown and pressing enter will close the program.


I like MegaSpawner, so i'd like to solve this problem...
Can you pls help me?

So if I have premium spawner spawning my server will putting this in be a problem? Also does this allow me to set specific spawners to only spawn if a person is near it?

Hi i downloaded the files located at post 1 of this topic. i unzipped them both into my custom scripts folder, and they come out as Mega Spawner v3.68 Part 2 of 2 and Mega Spawner v3.68 Part 1 of 2... the file type is ""file"" it doesnt say CS, and isnt like other scripts located in any directories containing scripts. i try to go in-game and use the [megaspawner command, and no dice, it doesnt work. is there somthing im doing wrong or some special way to do this? specific install instructions to make this script work would be highly appreciated. thanks!


EDIT: i read back some, found the V2a version, and same thing..... i am on runuo 2.0... the problem is they arent scripts, they are files, and the shard doesnt comple them because its just a file, unless its meant to and just simply isnt.....
