XmlSpawner2

[Trying]

Artie, I was just wondering, being as the original script allowed NPC`s to spawn as paragons, (now with the fix in place) is the paragon spawn only attached to monsters.. or can it be spawned on animals etc... ? also another question not really related to the xmlspawner, but something that maybe worth thinking about, the "ridgeback" is it classed as a monster or an animal.. just thinking about the taming side of things, and if any possible problems could come from taming a paragon ridgeback...

Thanks.

you are correct that the current paragon system allows any basecreature to become paragon with the exception of those that are excluded in the Paragon.cs CheckConvert test, such as BaseChampions, Harrowers, and vendors (if you add that change).
So, this means that mounts and animals can become paragon by default.

Just checked (sorry new to this paragon m`larky) and the paragon tamables cant be tamed.. phew...!

Just a quick question about the badspawn log. I know that you said in a previous post that the badspawn issue with the treasure chests is due to the fact that I don't have the files that the spawners are looking for (ie treasurechest level #), is there any way that you can point me in the right direction to find the scripts that I need? Been searching for 3 days now. Any help is greatly appreciated.

First off...thanks Arte for the response! I went to the thread that you mentioned, and downloaded the chests, follwed the instructions given, and now when I restarted the server I get these errors on server start up:

I'm not a scripter (yet) but any ideas how to fix this?
*Edit* I've since replaced the original loot.cs file and the trappablecontainter.cs files back where they belong, and removed the OSI Dungeons Chest files. But by golly I want chests to spawn...lol
*Edit #2* after looking at the error again, I'm assuming that I need to do something to the Loot.cs file that comes in the zip, but not sure.

it would appear that you just replaced the 1.0.0 loot.cs with the one that came with that package, and you can't do that since it isnt up to date and doesnt contain descriptions of the new items that you see in the error messages.
What you need to do is to identify the extra items (like the randomstatues) that are defined in the treasurechest loot.cs, and add them to the current distro 1.0.0 loot.cs

so you will need to add

public static Item RandomStatue()
		{
			return Construct( m_StatueTypes );
		}

and

		private static Type[] m_StatueTypes = new Type[]
		{
			typeof( StatueSouth ),			typeof( StatueSouth2 ),			typeof( StatueNorth ),
			typeof( StatueWest ),			typeof( StatueEast ),			typeof( StatueEast2 ),
			typeof( StatueSouthEast ),		typeof( BustSouth ),			typeof( BustEast )
		};

		public static Type[] StatueTypes{ get{ return m_StatueTypes; } }

to the 1.0.0 loot.cs for example. And anything other additional things that the treasurechest loot.cs added would also have to be added to your 1.0.0 loot.cs

You will know that they need to be added because you will get error messages like the ones you got.

Okay, just so I don't get mixed up here, what I need to do is to add to the distro's loot.cs the stuff from the loot.cs of the dungeon chests correct? And I do that in the list definitions section of the script? Or do I have it backwards...add to the package's loot file, the things from the distro's loot file? Sorry if I'm being dense, but I've been awake for about 2 days now...lol

I would add to the distro's loot.cs the stuff from the loot.cs of the dungeon chests.

It doesnt really make a difference what section of the file you add it to. Just dont stick it inside of definitions, methods etc.

You can just place it all at the beginning of the file, right after this

namespace Server
{
	public class Loot
	{

// add all of the additional stuff here

(edit)

oh, and looking at your errors again I realize that the distro loot.cs already has the definitions for statues, and it was complaining because you replaced it. But you get the idea.
Go back to the distro loot.cs, try starting up the server, and if you see any error messages complaining about missing stuff, find the stuff in the dungeon chest loot.cs and add it to the distro.

 

[Johabius]

Could I just leave out the loot.cs from the package entirely and just use the distros loot.cs instead? Guess I could give it a shot first and see for myself...lol.

*Edit* just saw your edit, and that's what I'm about to try...lol

Wahooo! Arte, you are a blessing! No errors this time and my badspawns went down from 495 (yikes!) to 10! Thanks so much for all your help...couldn't have done it without you...sometimes my brain takes a little outside prodding to get into the right mindset. Thanks again!

*edit* and those 10 bad spawns are just in Ilshenar, which is no big deal because right now I'm just working on the Felucca, Malas, and Trammel facets anyway

 

[ArteGordon]

sure thing. Good luck!

 

[thegrandmystic]

I'd just like to take the time to thank you for all the hard work you've done, especially all the time you take to constantly update and add upon your work.

 

[ssalter]

finally took the plunge

I always avoided getting into xmlspawner, even though it looked marvelous, just because I didn't feel I had the time to sit down and learn how to use it. Not having spawn maps made me hesitate as well. But, when I installed 1.0 I went ahead and decided to use just xmlspawner.

I imported nerun's latest map files all in one swoop with the lovely [xmlimportmap command and voila, the world is spawned! Marvelous!

I do have a bunch of bad spawn, a few in Ilshenar and all the new Tokuno, but I imagine those were critters that were defined in nerun's distro and don't exist normally in this release of runuo. I'll probably just wait and see if they come in with the next rrunuo version.

Anyway, thanks ArteGordon, I downloaded the tut files also and plan on mastering this excellent product.

thanks. and remember, it isnt all selfless. Peoples suggestions and things that I add are things that I get to use too

Oh, and ssalter, one thing that I notice in your badspawn list is that some of those are actually in the distro, they are just named differently

like the BlackthorneJuggernaut is just a Juggernaut in the distro
DestroyerGargoyle is a GargoyleDestroyer in the distro
EnforcerGargoyle is a GargoyleEnforcer in the distro

you can easily track down those spawners and change them using [xmlfind. With Xmlspawner as the "Type", enter in the name of the problem spawn into the "Entry" field, select the box next to "Entry" field and then do a search.

You can then pull up the gumps for the spawners using the gump button next to each entry and change them to the correct spawns.

heh, and I was going to log off and read a book for awhile....but this is too intriguing. ok, veyr nice, only 2 of those and I can pop right to them and edit the spawner. That is so handy.!

I keep meaning to ask. When I click the little white scroll that is left of the arrow on a spawn row in the gump, it opens a book. Why is that? Note: I haven't read docs yet, I'm ignorant.

The book is the extended text entry gump. It basically uses the book interface to allow you enhanced editing of spawn entries, since the book interface allows you to use the mouse to position the cursor in the middle of text and to insert and delete there. It also has a significantly larger text entry buffer than the normal text entry field which allows you to enter only about 200 chars, and has no mouse editing capability (in the 2D client).

This is generally handy for editing any spawn entry, and for long spawn entries, it is really essential.

Note, that in order to be able to actually edit spawn entries using the book, you have to go through installation step 3 (which just involves commenting out one line in basebook.cs).

 

[ssalter]

ahhhh, I see, thanks. I won't ask any more questions until I go through all the docs and experiment. This has vast potential! I did install everything, all the packages. I plan on installing 'sockets, and the rest as well, tomorrow.

ok, read through talkingbasecreature.cs and a few of the xmls and such but am not having a lot of luck. I moved the "extras" folder to the runuo root, which shouldn't matter...it just means I only need to type [xmlload extras/whatever.xml rather than a deeper path.

I tried [xmlload extras/questnpc.xml and it just would not respond. I then was able to make it respond by doing a [loadnpc extras/testnpc , at least I think that is all I did. I might have changed the props to react to an administrator as well. It just seems that the npc won't respond unless I fiddle with the props.

Let's say I want to check out the katarquest example. What do I need to do to load it? From looking at the two files, I would think I just need to [xmlload katarquest.xml and it will pick up the config file 'katarquest' automatically...which is the katarquest.npc file. That is all I should need to do?

thanks.

by default, all speech triggering of spawners or npcs, is restricted to players. Staff cannot trigger them unless you change their TriggerAccessLevel property to your staff level.

What I do when testing them is to use a staff/player access-switch item (I happen to use a cloak) to temporarily change my access level to player.
