.spawnbackground 0 (for the first mapplane it can be zero or blank)
.spawnbackground 1
.spawnbackground 2
e.t.c..

Make sure you check and set the defs before you run it, so that it spawns the terrains you want

where do I check and set the defs? I didn't find it o.o.

If you want different spacing of the gembits, you'll have to spawn those terrains seperately in the script. The first line in each section switches spawning for that terrain type on and off.

Also make sure you followed the instruction here:

Code:

The Map section of your sphere.ini should look like this (Uncomment the lines starting with MAP obviously):

//

//             To activate ML-sized map #0 uncomment the next line (don't forget to uncomment

//             sphere_map0_ml.scp and sphere_map_points0_ml.scp in spheretables.scp if you want

//             to use the default areas)

//             Map0=7168,4096,-1,0,0

//

//             To activate ML-sized map #1 uncomment the next line

//             Map1=7168,4096,-1,1,1

//

//

//             MAP2=2304,1600,32,2,2

//             MAP3=2560,2048,32,3,3

//             MAP4=1448,1448,8,4,4

//            MAP5=1280,4096,64,5,5

the script uses these settings from your ini to work out how big the map is supposed to be.

AmpereJoule · 12-31-2012 12:07 PM

So, I need to change 08003 (and all other id that is causing "bad spawn") to the right id?

And the right "id" is in "sphere_defs.scp"?

PS: on this line:
"t_swamp_spawn0 //Toggle to enable/disable spawning in swamp"
the right is: "t_swamp_spawn 0 //Toggle to enable/disable spawning in swamp", right?
(space after "t_swamp_spawn" and before "0")

And I need to put "1" instead of "0" in every line that has "<type>_spawn 0",
so it will be "<type>_spawn 1", right?
I am asking it because in the line:
"//GEMBITS WILL ONLY BE PLACED IF <type>_spawn = 1 for each terrain type listed below."
you said that it needs to have an equal "<type>_spawn '=' 1".

**Mordaunt** · 12-31-2012 12:13 PM

You shouldnt need to change any spawn group ID's except the 2 at the very top of the script that cover sand and snow, the groups already exist in sphere_spawns.scp in the default downloads. You might want to check you have them in your file.

That should then spawn your map without erroring... just if your doing the who map in one go I would not recommend that gembit_gap is less than 50.

AmpereJoule · 12-31-2012 12:50 PM

but it is saying "Bad Spawn..." like in the picture that I posted above.

Now it is saying lots os Bad Spawns and it does not stop.

when I use ".spawnbackground 0" I only get Bad Spawns,
but now I noticed that my Sphere is auto-fixing something of map 0 to 0,
because it is not supported o.o. What is that??

Can my UO:ML be an older version? (I didn't make the patch)

**Mordaunt** · 12-31-2012 01:07 PM

Have you told sphere to load the maps in spheretables.scp?

should look like this:

Code:

// -----------------------------------

//              Maps

// -----------------------------------

scripts/maps/sphere_map0.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map0_ml.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map1.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map2.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map3.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map4.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map5.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map_points0.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map_points0_ml.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map_points1.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map_points2.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map_points3.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map_points4.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map_points5.scp

// -----------------------------------

Though map 5 will definately NOT work with UO:ML
The other's should I beleive

AmpereJoule · 12-31-2012 01:13 PM

my spheretables.scp is like this:

Code:

// -----------------------------------

scripts/maps/sphere_map0.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map0_ml.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map1.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map2.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map_points2.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map_points3.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map_points4.scp

scripts/maps/sphere_map_points5.scp

// -----------------------------------

my sphere.ini was like this: (before I change the maps)

Code:

// To activate ML-sized map #0 uncomment the next line (don't forget to uncomment

// sphere_map0_ml.scp and sphere_map_points0_ml.scp in spheretables.scp if you want

// to use the default areas)

Map0=7168,4096,-1,-1

// To activate ML-sized map #1 uncomment the next line

Map1=7168,4096,-1,-1

So, I have to sleep.

Thank you man, let's forget this for a while. I think I will be back in a month \o\.
