Re: Monster/Room Regen (WAS: NMR help)
Ok, first off this write-up will in no way be 100% complete,its purely based off of what i learned making new areas. So feel free to improvise where needed.
First and foremost is Map assignment. This is an easy one,i always recommend creating a new Map # based on the hexidecimal range of 1-255. Keep it in the lower range of possible to prevent too much diversity.
Secondly, Room numbers, this is easy, as soon as you assign a Map # for your area, all rooms are generated upon creation, meaning you need to make each room at a time, there will be no conflict for each room is specific to the map # you created.
Once you have a Map created, the thing you'll need to do is create monsters for it. This is easy,well use an example, the Temple of Fiends:
Map 1 (bad choice) room 9000 - 9089, this is TOF. Now we make some monsters like the Waltz Mages, Cursed Priestesses etc etc. Once their made you'll have a few options,the important ones are the fields labeled "Index" and "Group" these are your primary and subcatagories for your monster locations. You must make sure (under mass room editor) that your Monsters Index matches your Min/Max Index for your area.
Next is assignment of groups: If your monsters are Index 40, Group 2, then under Mass Room Editor Assign Min/Max Index to 40, and the group to 2. Next is the controll room (this is very important) I always assign my control room the first room in my new area. This room assigns and controls regen.
Next is Max Area: This is the maximum monsters allowed within the entire radius of your new Map. Then theres Max Regen, this is the Max Monsters per room that will be allowed. ALSO: Make sure to to set the Room Type to Lair,that way majormud knows to make it a monster den and not a safe place lihe HOD.

Just to note, Max area only needs to be set on the control room.
Also, a safe room is defined by a rooms attributes, not the room type. Monsters can regen in rooms that aren't defined as lairs too. As long as they have a Monster Group, a Min/Max Index, and a Max Regen, it'll spawn monsters (maybe a control room too?). I'm not sure what exactly triggers the monsters to spawn in these rooms, but mud does use this method in a few places (check the black wastelands, there are no "lairs").

a %s or %d in one of your messages is missing or in the wrong spot. how you can figure out which one, i dunno. you'll have to look at other monsters that do what yours does and see how they are setup.
