Hello buddy, this happens when you put a monster in a location that it can not be born.

You may want to look at the table - cq_generator.

The important columns will be rest_sec, timer_begin, timer_end, and max_amount.

Allow me to explain-
rest_sec The time between spawns. this needs to be at least 1, a good number is 5-15.
timer_begin, timer_end These should be set at 0.
max_amount This is somewhat irrelevant but its a good idea to have it at about 10% more than the max spawn number.

If after checking these, and reading my stickied post which explains in greater detail the functions in cq_generator, the issue persists its not the cq_generator but the servers.
Heres that link-

If you want more advice, my msn is on my profile, please put EPVP in the invite. I do not accept invites i do not know.

i have alot of mobs have more than 10k on rest_secs and have more than 100 on max amount can the proplem be from there ?

yeah, your having way too many mobs spawn and its causing an overload and giving your server a mental breakdown. It has nothing to do with them spawning in a place that they "cant" spawn in because there is no such thing.

I gotta agree with Deadpool- reset the amount to, at maximum, to about 20-30 and lower the rest time to 5-20 seconds.

Having 10k on rest time is way too high, as this is over 10 minutes between spawns. Max amount at 100, wow thats a lot of monsters in the grid. No wonder your server is having a meltdown.

If you want i can show you, or help you with this area.

I have no problems with reset_sec, I have over 200 mobs born 3 to 12 hours after they die.
Only thing I have is the problem of birth given in the schedule, 1, 2 or 3 hours of paid work.

With that amount of time between spawns you wont get many players on the server because levelling will be take too long.

I think he means he has certain mobs with those changes, not all his mobs. Perhaps it's a special mob that appears in different places at different times with good drops.

I've actually had this issue before, i combated this simply by having a process that flushes out my cache every hour so basically it's like maint but it is not. I think this has to do with the fact of all the new add ins people put into the db's that the total amount is just too much. It may be me but i am pretty sure noone has even attempted to search for, or find / modify a maximum amount spawnable inside of the npc.exe (Just my opinion of course).

Yes, my server already have 2 years online with these settings.
Just put various amounts of Boss (created by me), increased the time to give birth and drop.
