spawn_conditions

What sets the spawn condition in Kithicor forest from night to day mobs ? I looked in spawn_events and that does not appear to be it. I am interested in changing some of my zones to different mobs during certain events. I also notice Kithicor appears to have three different sets of mobs {0,1,2}.

Okay I played with the DB some tonight but I am still confused on one thing. Why is spawn_events only containing two entries and they are not for Kithicor, how do the mobs change from day / night ?

The change over is done in Perl since spawn_events hasn't ever worked right.

Cavedude, could you post detailed guide how to create day/night spawn alternation with perl, please?

just rummaging through the quest folder for kith, and found this in 20250.pl. looks likes its based off an NPC spawning

Code:

# kithicor night and day checker

#Angelox's reasoning :)



sub EVENT_SPAWN { 

quest::settimer("kithdaynight",10);

if ($zonetime < 800 || $zonetime > 1999) {

        quest::spawn_condition($zonesn, 2,0); #live are 2

        quest::spawn_condition($zonesn, 1,1); #undead are 1

}

else {

        quest::spawn_condition($zonesn,2,1); #live are 2

        quest::spawn_condition($zonesn,1,0); #undead are 1

}

 }



sub EVENT_TIMER {

if ($zonetime < 800 || $zonetime > 1999) {

        quest::spawn_condition($zonesn, 2,0); #live are 2

        quest::spawn_condition($zonesn, 1,1); #undead are 1

}

else {

        quest::spawn_condition($zonesn,2,1); #live are 2

        quest::spawn_condition($zonesn,1,0); #undead are 1

}

 }

ok so it sets spawn_condition based on time, but how this connected to the npcs in the DB? What and how they need to be set to correspond properly to day or night time?

it is inside spawn2
select id, spawngroupid, zone, _condition, cond_value from spawn2 where _condition> 0;

spawns get set to a _condition and if that _condition and value match up, it spawns accordingly.
