Live is useful to a certain point.
More than anything Dal, this particular situation seems like it's already being thought about by P99 staff. From what I read they are trying to figure out how to keep the current happening without having Dain spawn. We can all give our accounts but I think Live server has had so many changes it's difficult to go off of what current live offers. Nothing further.

I understand. I'm guessing the repop is root level type function. Meaning, what you wrote is above that so to speak. I can see the issue you face but don't have the knowledge to assist.
Good luck Nilbog, I am sure your expertise will pay off. EDIT: Do you have contacts that work on live that you can trade notes?

Sony didn't keep code revisions of their circa-2001 server side code, and they sure as shit don't have a reason to help out Nilbog if they did.
He's making it all up on the fly, as close to 2001 as can be reasonably done at least.

My point was not necessarily go through the company. Sometimes people 'know' people. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Sony didn't help their customers other than providing pixels, I am sure they wouldn't help Nil or anyone else for that matter. Nilbog! I just thought about this. There is a quest in game: http://wiki.project1999.com/Phenocryst's_Focus When you do the final hand in and receive the end item, Pheno walks outside with a bunch of other Geonids, stop in the forest, disappears and The Menhir spawns in his/their place. When he appeared the last time I helped a guildy finish the quest, I sent my pet to attack him. He despawns after X amount of time and I was unable to kill him before his set despawn time occurred. Is there a way to do this for the Dain ONLY after a failed Ring War? So, let the original code pop everything, but some how tag the dain as a 'Ring War Dain pop', not 7 day pop, then run script to despawn him after 1 or 2 minutes. Maybe even 5 minutes. Why? This gives people a chance to do hand ins without having a guild(s) try to sock him. Just trying to give ideas. I hope this helps.

OR! Put a tag on the Dain that spawns normally (every 7 days ish), then code something to check that 'tag', and if that tag does NOT exists, run ABC script to despawn.

Unfortunately, it is not that easy.
The system itself needs modified, or a new one created. We'll figure something out. Most of the priority for upcoming changes was put into the big march2001 patch. | ||

Hummm...not being able to at least band aid something drives me crazy at work. Good luck man.
