- When searching for a map-wide free cell, the tiles 15 cells from the edge are no longer considered
* Added a configuration to change the edge size to any value between 1 and 40
- When searching for a free cell, the tiles 4-5 cells from the edge are now considered invalid and trigger a retry
* If you make the edge size smaller than this, it will use edge size instead
- Searching for a free cell now defaults to 50 tries, but if the "no spawn on player" option is active, those failed attempts are not counted towards the limit anymore
- When a monster spawns in a defined area there will now be 8 attempts to spawn it on a valid cell within the area and then one attempt on the center cell; if all 9 attempts fail, there will now be 50 tries to spawn it map-wide before it gives up
- When a monster has fixed spawn coordinates, but those coordinates are a wall, it will now spawn in a random location map-wide instead
* This also applies to icewall blocking the cell unless the boss_monster command was used
- Each monster in an area spawn will now receive its own spawn center within the spawn area on server start
* This results in the spawn area being larger but having a bias towards the center
* Added a configuration to disable this behavior
- Fixed slave monsters always being active and constantly calling the "search freecell" function even though neither them nor their master have been spotted yet
- Fixed map server crash when setting no_spawn_on_player to 100 (follow-up to 33b2b02)
- Updated prontera field spawns to official episode 18+
- Updated all champion mob respawn times to 3 minutes and sorted them by map name
- Fixes#8300
* Clean-up permanent monster spawn:
- <delay1>,<delay2>,<event> are actually optionnal field
- <event> value 0 and 1 are meaningless (actually event name with length < 4 are skipped)
* Exported monster AI constants
* Updated docs for monster size constants (already exported)
Notes:
- the default size for monster script cmd was small not medium
- monster script cmd now display a warning for size above SZ_BIG (previously SZ_ALL)
* - Fixed an issue to make <xs> and <ys> optionnals
- Updated npcs scripts
* Leftover in the docs for permanent monster spawn
* Corrected english docs. Credit to @aleos89
