- 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
Import Directories
What is the import directory for?
The import/ directory provides a way for you to change your config settings without the need to even touch the main /conf/ and /db/ files.
By placing your custom entries into the import/ directory within these two locations, your core files will not need to have any conflicts resolved when you update your server. You store your changes, and the rest is updated with rAthena.
How does this work?
Think of "import" as in "override". Place only the settings you have changed in the import files, or settings you are "overriding".
For example, when setting up a server there are always a few config settings that users would like to change in order for rAthena to suit their needs. The following example will show you how to use the /conf/import/ directory correctly. (for /db/import/ examples, see /db/readme.md)
Login Server
We want to use MD5 passwords and disable _m/f account creation methods.
/conf/import/login_conf.txt
new_account: no
use_MD5_passwords: yes
Char Server
We want to change the server name to "Odin".
/conf/import/char_conf.txt
server_name: Odin
Map Server
We want to hide all error messages and add a few custom maps.
/conf/import/map_conf.txt
//Makes server output more silent by omitting certain types of messages:
//16: Hide Error and SQL Error messages.
console_silent: 16
map: 1@toy
map: 1@valley
map: shops
Inter Server
We want to use MySQL tables instead of .txt files.
/conf/import/inter_conf.txt
use_sql_db: yes
Logging Settings
We want to log all items and all chat messages.
/conf/import/log_conf.txt
log_filter: 1
// Log CHAT (Global, Whisper, Party, Guild, Main chat, Clan) (Note 3)
// log_chat: 63 = logs everything
log_chat: 63
Battle Configs
We want to change the way various mechanics work. For anything that would be configured in the /conf/battle/ directory, it will go into import/battle_conf.txt. To help you find which configs came from where, it's generally a good idea to comment out the name of the file that specific collection of configs came from.
/conf/import/battle_conf.txt
// guild.conf
guild_exp_limit: 90
// items.conf
vending_over_max: no
vending_tax: 100
weapon_produce_rate: 200
potion_produce_rate: 200
produce_item_name_input: 0x03
// misc.conf
duel_time_interval: 2
at_mapflag: yes
at_monsterignore: yes
cashshop_show_points: yes
hide_fav_sell: yes
// Whether or not mail box status is displayed upon login.
// Default: 0
// 0 = No
// 1 = Yes
// 2 = Yes, when there are unread mails
mail_show_status: 2
// monster.conf
show_mob_info: 3
// party.conf
party_hp_mode: 1
display_party_name: yes
// pet.conf
pet_rename: yes
// player.conf
max_aspd: 196
max_third_aspd: 196
max_extended_aspd: 196
vip_disp_rate: no
// status.conf
debuff_on_logout: 3
We cannot stress enough how helpful this system is for everyone. The majority of git conflicts will simply go away if users make use of the import/ system.
