NPC Spawn Issue: Quillmane cycle changed or broken

[enr4ged]

Was trying to spawn Quillmane due to the usual cycle today but it's completely different now... was something changed? It seems that the triggers are not spawning like they were before.

Also some of the elephant calfs are spawning underground.

Aye, can confirm this needs to be looked at.

That giant summoned hammer looking thing is back floating there where the PH/Trigger should be, Static spawns of PH/Triggers aren't popping in the same spot every 28/whatever seconds. (I understand they pop and roam instantly, but they aren't spawning in the same spot, lol)

Also can confirm PH/Trigger spawning underground sometimes. I see an elephant calf come up on track, leads me to a hill by KFC, says straight ahead up the hill, go up the hill, says calf is behind me, i turn around and it says it's ahead of me and then it pops out of the hill??

The lioness, in my experience, would come out of the mountain side often too.

One of the placeholders was always spawning in the same location. I was looking into it at the time and determined that was error which I failed to post in the changelog while testing.

I just confirmed they both do spawn, and path. All that changed with the patch was ensuring random spawn location of the placeholders.

This whole script needs to be redone; it will be at some point.

Ya, cause ranger track just shows and sorts the 20 closest mobs, it doesn't matter that I can track a large area. I wish it would track the whole area, sort those, then provide the top twenty after truncation.

tracks the top 20 newest mobs, not the closest.

Even with sortable ranger track? I need to do some experimentation but I think (not sure at all, just cursory observations) that only the first, closest, twenty mobs are sorted. But I was doing it right after repop and everything would have spawned at the same time then... Hrm. Well then. Experimentation required.

technically we shouldnt even be able to sort if you look at patch messages. but i think what its doing is taking the last 20 mobs that spawn and then you can sort though but it wont change your result when changed to distance.
