char models and the _chr.txt file

[Neiv]

I'd just like to get this problem nailed down because it seems so inconsistent. Some of the entries in a zone's _chr.txt file just will not spawn in the zone. I have never been able to get the Plane of Justice Tribunal (for instance) to work in any zone other than POJ (in fact, it crashes every other zone), even though the status given to it in the documentation indicates it works. Even something as simple as an elephant in South Karana does not work for me. In southkarana_chr.txt I have placed mam,southkarana_chr and adjusted the total at the top, yet I cannot dbspawn an elephant. Is this a problem in my environment, or does this impact everyone?
