I always assumed mobs had to be in a spawngroup to be spawned. You sure it's the right copy that is being spawned without a group? I think there are dupes in the database.

Well, I discovered #npcspawn delete and used that to get rid of the spawns I didn't want. WHAT A MISTAKE! This command actually deletes the npc_type entry too!

Restored from the backup, time to find a different want to get rid of them.

Ok, it looks like the spawngroup 0 thing is a bug. If I start the server after a fresh sourcing of peq then look at a mob's #wpinfo, it says 0 for everything. If I then do a #repop, it magically has a spawngroup.

I have persistantzone on too. Might make it bypass whatever it is that loads up the values for #wpinfo.

The npc must be in a spawngroup to have a grid asigned. I use my grid editor for this purpose to simplify grid editing and managing the grids.

You are correct in that NPC's can have their grids assigned in game, and so on.

BTW - the delete or remove both appear to delete the NPC! The manual removal is managed with already written tools.

Sorry that you lost npc's - I did too!

Actually, I can't get any of your tools to run. Just downloaded the toolpack (grid editor etc) this morning. Ran the OCX install batchfile and edited the db.ini - but the tools give me an untrapped error - runtime error 91 object variable not set (the oh-so descripive VB error

The database is on a different machine - do i need ODBC drivers for this or something? the MySQL tools connect to the other machine ok with the same settings.
