| | I seem to be having a problem with my mobs reloading. I have the resets in the way I want them, and the mobs will load after a reboot, but not after the allotted time has passed for them to revive. The reset frequency is set at 5 minutes, but 20 minutes and more later (with no one in the area) there are still no mobs. I'm not getting any errors, they're just not showing back up after they've been killed the first time. Any thoughts? | | Top |

| | What codebase are you using? With my SWR, it had alot of issues with resets. Couple things that I can think of: It is getting repoped, but moving before you can see it. Another is that the reset is not happening at all, and the reset frequency is screwy. You might be able to narrow the problem down if you are get the reset message, if so, then the reset is happening, and you can narrow your search. Have you done any code changes to resets? If so, you might wanna look there. Any extra information would be great. You can also check your logs to see if the reset is being done. |

| I've found that if you're resetting the same mob vnum in two different places, it doesn't always do it. It seems to count the amount of mobs of that vnum that are alive, and if that's above the max number in that room, it doesn't spawn new ones.
We had this problem on my MUD when trying to have gate guards that spawned two at a time at two separate locations. They would spawn properly the first time, and there would be four. We would then kill both at one gate, and then there would be two left in total. However, they never repopped at the first gate (the one where we killed them) until we killed the ones at the other as well. We ended up just using two sets of vnums: "gateguard1" and "gatehuard2". |

| | For the guard house example. One possible explanation is that the limits were not set high enough in one or both rooms. If you added 2 guards into one room and did instaroom, then 2 to the other room and did another instaroom, the limits would no longer bet set correctly in the first room. When the area would reset it would check and see there were still 2 gate guards at the other gate(I believe it checks throughout the entire mud, as it looks at the number from the mob index data), and that would cause the first gates' guards not to respawn. I apologize if I am just stating the obvious here. | | Top |

| | You probably need to state which version of SMAUG you are using. I have a vague recollection that areas don't reset if no-one is in them, but might be wrong. :) |
