New page

== Spawn Combine Command ==
The /spawn combine command consist of the following options:

* {radius} - the distance from the selected spawn outward in a circle.
* add - adds a targeted spawn to a set of previously (but not yet saved) spawn combine's.
* remove - removes the targeted spawn to a set of previously (but not yet saved) spawn combine's.
* save {name} - saves the targeted, combined spawns to a new spawn location name/entry/placement set, optional: name.

'''DEMO VIDEO''': [[Media:Spawn_Combine.wmv|VIDEO CLIP (wmv)]]

Objective: Find the node in the center of a mass of nodes you wish to combine, select it, and execute the '''/spawn combine {radius}''', where {radius} is the distance from the center of the selected node in which to ALSO select other nodes of the same type (ie., ground spawns).

=== spawn combine {radius} ===
In the above video, you can see the player target a central node, type

* /spawn combine 10

to achieve a radius of 10 around the targeted node, then type:

* /spawn combine save

which then saves all the selected spawns into a new spawn location, the new location ID is displayed in the UI, and '''all''' the old spawn locations are purged.

=== spawn combine add ===
In the 2nd example, the /spawn combine {radius} missed a few spawns at the edges, and the player opted to use another command

* /spawn combine add

when a node was targetted to add it to the already selected grouping of combined spawns. In other words, once you perform a ''/spawn combine'' of any kind, anything you ''/spawn combine'' add to it '''before''' saving will be added to the previously combined set. It's a little confusing, but try it out on a few spawns and you'll get the idea.

=== spawn combine remove ===
more...

=== spawn combine save ===
Once all selections are "added" to the previous spawn combine list, executing a

* /spawn combine save

will remove all the selected spawns from the world, and from the database, and put 1 of each kind selected into a new spawn location name/entry/placement set, and attempt to auto-balance the spawn_percentage.

== Spawn Percentage ==
When you use the /spawn combine command one 2 or more '''unique''' spawn ID's, EQ2Emulator will calculate an average spawn percentage ratio based on the ''quantity'' of spawns of each type you selected.

'''Example:''' Using the above video, let's assume you have root and budding natural garden nodes in a clustered group you wish to combine.

{| class="wikitable" border="1" width="50%"
! style="width: 50%; background:#cccccc;" | '''<center>Type</center>'''
! style="width: 50%; background:#cccccc;" | '''<center>Qty</center>'''
|-
|roots
|20
|-
|budding natural garden
|10
|}

What this might suggest is that there are twice as many roots nodes in this location as there are garden nodes. When you /spawn combine save these selected nodes, the new spawn location entry created now bases the percentage of chance a root node will spawn on a 2:1 ratio, since there were twice as many roots as gardens.

{| class="wikitable" border="1" width="50%"
! style="width: 50%; background:#cccccc;" | '''<center>Type</center>'''
! style="width: 50%; background:#cccccc;" | '''<center>Chance</center>'''
|-
|roots
|75%
|-
|budding natural garden
|25%
|}

Now you can see, there is a 75% chance that a root will spawn at that location vs a garden.

'''Note:''' ''These are all made-up ratios, and should never be assumed this is how all spawn combines will calculate percentages.''
