[CD3.55] Mobs won't spawn

[Exsodius]

I don't understand why the mob "Oblivion" (or any mobs for that matter) won't spawn on my DQ2 map:



The mob exists in my SQL and works when I @mob Oblivion. I've tried to narrow down the x y range to a single point of 1-5 mobs but that hasn't worked either, I've also tried spawning on a different map. The Multitool spawn editor also doesn't work.

Any ideas please?

You sure that file is definately saved as a .gen and not a .gen.txt ?

Can't see any reason it wouldn't spawn other than that.

It saves as a .gen.txt file but I don't get the option to save it as a .gen file (as you can see in the SS with save as type options). I've also tried zipping the file so it becomes a .gen file but that doesn't work either.

Perhaps the next step is to use a programme that allows me to edit and save in .gen format? Everyone I've asked hasn't had to do this though

just edit the name and at the end just put .gen and it should save as a gen file

In an explorer window:

Tools > Options > View > Untick, Hide Extensions for known filetypes.

This will then show the .txt and you can remove it.

As i said in PMs, have you tried to extract an old .GEN file and then edit it with notepad to see it if works that way?
Then you can just copy & paste empty .GEN files and add mobs to them.

I tried all that

Unticking extensions worked! Thank you Karl.

Issue resolved.
