Monster 1.1.1 vanilla mobs

[Scott DTA]

I just started a new server running Monster 1.1.1, but seem to be getting no vanilla hostile mobs at all. Only mobs we have seen have been from Lycanites. Has anyone else noticed this?

I have gone thru the config files, but not seen anything that would have caused this. We have all mods in the pack active if that helps any.

Thanks,
Scott

ok, now I think it is just my server. I tried a ssp world and they seem to spawn just fine. Any help would great.

I have added my server prop file if that helps any.

I don't know the problem, but I suggest you edit out the server IP and enable whitelist since it's been displayed on a public forum. Unless that was a secondary goal.

If you don't care about your passive mob farms, have the server do a /xu_killliving
Back up your world first.

 

[Scott DTA]

no passive mob farms right now. Server is only a day old.

As for the white list. seems McMyAdmin adds it's own whitelist controls without the need to add it also to the server prop files.

Seems the killliving command fixed the issue. Did that and came out of my hole in the ground to get killed by a creeper. All seems right in the world again.

Thanks for the help.

Np. This is an SMP issue I'm still trying to figure out. It took me a week to do the lycanite's configs for BnB and I'm using the same ones in Monster. It should keep the mobs fairly balanced, except the strange SMP issue.

 

[Scott DTA]

Looks to me like lycanite's is messing it up. After a couple days we get nothing again. There are tons of lycanite mobs running around eating up the spots and they don't seem to despawn, even if no one is in the area.

Hrm...

Oh @Lycanite

[Lycanite]

My mod does affect the vanilla mobs a little where they are spaced out across various biome types, however this can be disabled in the global LycanitesMobs.cfg config file, it's called something like "Control Vanilla Mobs" set it to false and my mod wont touch them, promise!

Edit: You can also go through the other configs and lower the spawn rate of some mobs so that the vanilla ones are more prominent.

 

[Scott DTA]

Looks like they are set to false. To adjust the spawn chance do I increase or decrease the spawn chance for each? currently they are all set to 50. Still looks like they are not despawning correctly.

 

[Scott DTA]

From Monster 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 the spawn chance went from 100 down to 50 on everything. most of the spawn weights are close to the same, some variations.

 

[Lycanite]

Hmm, well setting all the spawn chances back up to 100 and then halving all the spawn weights should solve it. The problem with spawn chances are that the mob still takes up a spawning slot that a vanilla mob could of used. The vanilla spawning system isn't very exposed by forge, there are a couple of events but there just isn't enough access without replacing it with a custom one so working with it can be a pain lol!
I'll add a global Spawn Weight Scale to the next update so all the spawn weights of this mod can be halved quickly.

 

[Scott DTA]

I changed the configs and all seems fine right after I kill everything, but the longer and longer I stay in one spot all I get is the Lyc mobs. I watch the normal mobs spawn on the minimap and eventually despawn. I also see the red question mark mobs spawn ( a lot of the Lyc mobs not known by Zan's) but they never seem to despawn. Only way to get normal mobs to spawn again is to either go kill them myself or just kill everything.

 

[Lycanite]

Ahh, which version of Lycanites Mobs is it? 1.4.9 d and below to around 1.8.x has a massive issue where hostile mobs don't seem to despawn at time. It has been compeltely fixed as of 1.4.10+. I recommend 1.4.11c now as it's pretty stable and covers a few other issues.

 

[Scott DTA]

1.4.9d is the one that was pushed out with the latest Monster pack. Will go find the newer version and see if I can update it without breaking anything else.

 

[Lycanite]

1.4.9d is the one that was pushed out with the latest Monster pack. Will go find the newer version and see if I can update it without breaking anything else.

Yeah 1.4.11c should fix everything, you'll likely need to generate a new config though and then tweak it as needed. On my server plenty of vanilla mobs are showing up with Control Vanilla Mobs enabled just some are limited to certain biomes such as no Skeletons or Zombies in the desert as Crypt Zombies adn Clinks replace them.

 

[Scott DTA]

updated and used the default config settings and all looks right in the world. Despawning is happening and a good mix of mod types again from what I can tell. No need to even kill everything first. Will mess with the config and see if I can get it back to close to what was intended for Monster.

Thanks for the help.

 

[Lycanite]

Glad to know all is working! Let me know if there are any more issues and I will work on it ASAP!

 

[Hatz]

In case anyone stumbles upon this thread again, the issue is definitely with the Lycanite's Mob version that is in the default Monster pack. Update the mod and everything should work. And thanks to the Lycanite's Mobs mod developer for adding a global (Lycanites) spawn rate config setting in the newer versions of the mod!

I posted a thread on how to update found here: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/thr...ot-spawning-with-lycanite-mobs-enabled.45226/
