Top code is Hunter's, bottom is mine. Notice the chances are 100% the same. Any questions?

Code:

my $r = int (rand(16));
			$x = $bossLocation{$r}[0];
			$y = $bossLocation{$r}[1];
			$z = $bossLocation{$r}[2];
			$h = $bossLocation{$r}[3];

What happens if $r is 0?

int(rand(16)) means pull 0-15. (Basically, code starts counting at 0, humans start at 1). If it rolls 0, it spawns at location 1. If it rolls 1, it spawns at location 2, etc etc. If it rolls 15, it spawns at location 16.

Nope. :-)

I appreciate the offer, but it's fine. I'm not sure how/why it could/should be different. If you've got an idea on what could make it better, pass it up. :-)

Well X Y Z H are already defined as the current mobs location
(which you aren't using so overwritten the variable isn't a huge deal... but there is no need to do it at all)

You can just do it like this..

Code:

                        my ($x, $y, $z, $h);
			my $r = int (rand(16));
			$x = $bossLocation{$r}[0];
			$y = $bossLocation{$r}[1];
			$z = $bossLocation{$r}[2];
			$h = $bossLocation{$r}[3];
			quest::spawn2($BOSS_SPAWN_ID,0,0,$x,$y,$z,$h);

down to.. this..

Code:

my $r = int (rand(16));
quest::spawn2($BOSS_SPAWN_ID, 0, 0, $bossLocation{$r}[0], $bossLocation{$r}[1], $bossLocation{$r}[2], $bossLocation{$r}[3]);

Just a suggestion.. don't need to do it that way.. but if you maybe wanted to check the location of where the NPC died or whatever... you already overwrote those X Y Z H variables.

I understand that and intentionally did not create a special variable because the death location is irrelevant to me. As for running it all under 1 line, I'm not overly fond of lines that go 100' to the right. I understand I can break it with line breaks, but that's a cosmetic issue, not an efficiency issue. Thank you though :-)

Nate, the pathing fix for a lot of zones you did before the source update seems to have been disabled, any chance you could get some of the offending zones like Nro, Jaggedpine and Old Commons updated so we aren't chasing mobs through terrain and waiting for them to eventually path onto flat ground so we can kill them?

It just requires a map file and the Rule_values related to "Map" and "Pathing" to be correct.. (pretty sure i used.. the default values) so if they got changed need to fix them accordingly.. but beware of T5 zone illsalin .. if the map file isnt in there for that zone and you change back the values.. the mobs fall through the ground when pulling them over the suspended walkways.

If you don't have all the maps or they aren't up to date you could try generating them again. Apparently there's a newer file format that is smaller as well.

May require a particular version of the source though, so worth keeping the old ones just in case.

was messing round in T7 tonight, here's what blew my mind....

full clear of the zone, literally all spawns gone....

waited....

23 stone droppers

2 bats spawned

1 trap from running all over the zone...ONE

0 chains....ZERO......DAFUQ?

really? something just ain't right. last time i did T7 was a while back and it was never this barren. IDK, maybe sit in the damn zone all day killing now? I gotta be missing something here cause it wasn't like this 2,3 months back

just saying, not really complaining, I'm just stating what I saw

Something somewhere changed. No idea what, but nowhere near as many bats as we used to get, and when we do nowhere near as far along in the chain before it ends.

Full Clear last Saturday, 3 bats from last 3 stone droppers. 2 chains started that went to greed. RNG cant be that bad. Hit more traps than I have ever seen, i bet 20+, so many in fact that it was like someone was intentionally adding them, unfortunately no bats from traps(spawned or triggered) even with all the Stone droppers they produced.
