Populating Maps [message #20816] Tue, 26 June 2007 09:13 Go to next message

I'm hoping of refilling places in albion with new enemies and traders(like gibbet woods, windmill hill,northern foothills,etc.), but im not sure how to do it exactly. For making creatures appear on the map, I know I'll go with the creature generator, but what about traders and guards? I dont believe they have creature families, so i think they will have to spawned by the creature spawner, but im not so sure. Also, if I'm going to repopulate empty areas, like greatwood gorge, will i need to create new generators and spawners?

Btw, what is this and does it have to do with creatures appearing on maps?:

Would that be the traders and guards that go around? I got this from the Darkwood_10.tng which i think is darkwood weir. Your ideas?...

I'm not sure how, but in theory you could make a new creature family that includes merchants, and an other of guards. Also, you could study other maps (like say Greatwood Cullis gate) to find what makes merchants and guards appear. I recommend you do the second one before the first one, as I don't think that merchants will be traveling from one gate to an other.

The random population sim is just wandering traders for the most part. Can't remember if it's controlled via the game.bin->VILLAGE or the scripts.bin

Thanks for the advice! But there's one thing: if I'm trying to fill up Ancient Cullis Gate i'm not sure how to do so exactly. It has its creature generators and all as well as the wandering traders i believe, but due to the quest that happens there( kill undead to activate gate to get to Hook Coast) the place becomes dead and empty after that. I dont think adding another creature generator or anything like that would work. Is it possible to fix that?
