SetBase\Invasion — Permanent Copies of Invasion Monsters

Defines permanent, always-present copies in the open world of the same monsters used by scheduled invasions (InvasionManager.dat)—for example, Golden Budge Dragon, Golden Derkon, and the White Wizard in Lorencia. It uses the same format as SetBase in the root folder—the only difference is the type of content stored in each file.

This is not the invasion system itself. The scheduled invasion that occurs periodically and broadcasts announcements to all players is controlled by InvasionManager.dat, which has its own internal spawn points completely independent of this file. The monsters defined here spawn and respawn continuously, regardless of whether the scheduled invasion is active. They happen to be the same monster types, but they belong to a separate population.

The filename must begin with three digits followed by - (e.g., 000 - Lorencia.txt). Each file contains one or more blocks, identified by a number (0, 1, 2, 3, or 4) on its own line and terminated by end.

Section 2 — Fixed Spawn with Slight Random Variation

Uses the same columns as blocks 0/4, but the final position (PositionX/PositionY) is randomly selected within a 7x7 area around the specified point—chosen once when the server starts, and chosen again (within an even smaller area) each time the monster respawns.

Section 1 — Multiple Monsters Within an Area

Uses the same columns as block 3 (BeginPos/EndPos/Direction/Count), except that it does not include the additional Value column at the end.

Notes

  • The Map/Lorencia column inside the file has no effect whatsoever. The actual map is determined by the three digits in the filename. To move a spawn group to another map, the file must be renamed or moved—editing the column inside the file changes nothing.

  • These monsters are a completely separate population from the scheduled invasion. Disabling or reconfiguring InvasionManager.dat will not remove them from the map, because they are spawned by this file, not by the invasion system.
