so is there a way i can stop the zone.exe from even lookfor this entry?? I've changed that id number to a totally differnt number altogether and i dont want the old id even being checked for. This didn't happen with any of the other changes i made to spawns in a zone. (what i was doing was moving all spawngroup, spawnentry and spawn2 id's to a differnt range) this error happened with this last mob spawnpoint i edited.

try

Code:

truncate zone_state_dump;

or set PersistentZoneState to 0 in the variables table.

You had PersistentZoneState set to 1, which saved all the spawns that where up when the zone last closed down. You then must have deleted one of those spawns, and when the zone next booted up, it tried to load the spawn from the last saved state and couldn't find it in the spawn2 table.

The truncate command just cleared out the saved zone state.

EDIT: I missed your post where you changed the spawn IDs, that would cause a mismatch between the spawn tables and the saved zone state which would also cause this problem.
