I have some questions to my private server (epic 6.2).

• The tame_percentage in the MonsterResource table is vanilla/low (e.g. 0,02 for angel) but in the game the percentage is much higher. What could be the reason?
  Are the tame_percentage values of the client rdb file to high?I think this was my wrong perception
• What is the difference between the ***(ascii).rdb file and the normal file? ****, I forgot this .
• I'm thinking about to remove the new soul stones (+ pAtk) from the drop lists (to get a more vanilla epic4/5 experience). Should I do this (pros/cons)?
• My CaptainHerlockServer console shows the message:

  [string "mob"( 1002 167538,53382,169050,54432)"]:1: `)' expected near `167538'

  I think this is a syntax error. Where can I find that script/code line?
• My CaptainHerlockServer console shows the message:

  Unable to respawn monster group. RespawnID(0), MonsterID(41001)

  Where do I have to look for this?
• How are the possible combinations (weapon + strike cube = +1 weapon) are handled? I think the table MixResource is the base. Is there a good explanation for the table columns and algorithm behind?

Thanks in advance

tame_percentage should be read like

1.0 = 100%, 0.10 = 10% and 0.01 = 1%

In-Game however, there are many factors that contribute to final tame percentage.

tameChance = 0.80; // for instance
tameChance *= (((fTameSkillVar1 * tameSkillLv + fTameSkillVar2 * nTameCardLv + 1) * 100) * 10000) / 1000000;

(ascii) files are pretty much for /locale:US only. No internal or structural difference between non-ascii and ascii files.

Only you can decide if you want to remove new stones, that's more a matter of personal choice and balance.

[string "mob"( 1002 167538,53382,169050,54432)"]:1: `)' expected near `167538'

The above is a lua error, you are missing a `,` between 1002 and 167538

Unable to respawn monster group. RespawnID(0), MonsterID(41001)

I always hated this message, so I refactored the code so my gs actually displays relevant information like:

Unable to respawn monster Monster ID: xxxx on Map File: mxxx_xxx

Essentially the game-server will attempt to spawn a monster at the given coords in the respawn lua with some noise to randomize the spawn location. Sometimes however this causes the monster spawn location to be inside of a block polygon (areas monsters players/monsters etc aren't supposed to enter) It will attempt to do this some 300 times if I recall, if all fail (likely meaning the spawn itself is inside of a block polygon) then you get that message.

Most combinations are handled through MixResource, but if memory servers enhancements (+1 a weapon) are handled through the EnhanceResource.

I have some small notes on MixResource which I need to complete, but you're welcome to what I have written so far

Thank you for your detailed answer.

I'll put the first question (taming rate) on hold. That was my misperception.

I will take out the new soulstones. In my opinion it disturbs the balance.

How exactly does the initial monster spawn work?
Is it controlled via database or lua script?
I have some reindeer mobs (non attacking) out there and want to replace them with normal mobs.

In your .nfs files are spawn areas with an id which can be looked up in monster_respawn.lua

Thanks for your answer.

• How can I open the .nfs files?
• If I want to replace a mob with another mob (other MonsterRessource-Id), at what point I need to change something (the nfs file, the lua file and/or database + client files)?

SilentWisdom released a NFS editor a while ago.

Not sure if they have a more up to date version or tool on their github or not but here is the link to their old tool...

Use a map editor, you should find one in here.
Open the nfs file, find the box you want to edit, search for it's id in monster_respawn.lua, replace monster id, etc. as you wish

Hello there,

I'm looking to find a way to create a window, using LUA scripts. Just a simple box, with a "OK" button in order to close it, as I want to dispatch some informations on.

I'll try myself to create interactions with, such as entering valors, words, etc...
Thank you !
