Doom Overspawned

Far too many devs (Devourers of souls or whatever) It's impossible to get around without having one on you. I found even if you ran a mile they still stayed locked on you. Could you please cut down devourer spawns. Ty

Ah . . . . it's nice to have stealth.

The spawns are based off of over 20 individual trips to Doom (lasting 2-3 hours each) both while alive and dead on Atlantic. The spawns are (more or less) random in various areas. Kill one thing, and something else spawns. Sounds like many bats were killed, but not Devourers ;->

What about stealeble artifacts? =)
(Sorry for my English =)

 

[psz]

Waiting for the RunUO scripts to be finished.

 

[Garret]

oh, That's good =)

 

[Ozzie-demise]

so you wont do anything about spawn? Even though its twice the size of OSI.

 

[psz]

It's not twice the size. I manually COUNTED the number of creatures per area on OSI each time, and went with the average (This was on predominately empty days, too, which is the only time I ever spawned dungeons)

psz:

5 vampire bats does not = 5 devourers of souls.. Im sorry, but i went into doom and surrounding the entrance was atleast 5-6 devourer of souls. Check OSI again and u'll see that there are a lot more vampire bats than devourers.

It's a random spawn. There is a total spawn per area. Each area is controlled by a spawner. That spawner has a set number of creatures, of which it randomly selects from a list.

Now, the list is weighted so that some creatures will be more likely to spawn than others. However, as with any random number generator, there is always a chance of (even with weighted numbers) having more of X than Y.

I will look into it when I have time, but ATM the amounts are damn close to OSI (Tested yesterday) in terms of what and how many of each.

 

[Ozzie-demise]

fine, but i think OSI uses seperate spawners.

 

[qweazdak]

maybe seperate spawners aint an option ...

 

[psz]

It's an option, but they don't. I've watched them all spawn from almost the exact same tile consistantly.
