    I was trying to mob in a whole new thing called 'Treasure Map Ted1' and (to cut a long story short) when I tried spawning it on the Hommlet map to see if it worked ok, I got

    Treasure Map Ted1 (1351843469626)

    What do these numbers mean? (And yes I did the whole utilities thing first)

    Ok i got it to spawn ok (turns out it was spawning, but it was invisible and not doing anything so hard to tell) :paranoid:

    BUT still have a problem - its scr file isn't firing. It is just sitting there doing nothing. No .pyc has activated from it.

    I've done plenty of these in the past for new dialogues, even for spawning (a sheep and rooster come to mind...) never had a problem, anyone got any ideas?

    Ok, the script file wasn't happening because I left out a parenthetical termination - one of them :point: ) Fixed it now :)

    On the happier side - I SPAWNED!!! I got the damn thing to work via a .mob and spawned a new critter in a previously empty map!

    <Ted capers> :pelvicthr :dance:

    <Ted cleans up the mess where he spawned> :blush:

    "Spawn of Ted," coming to theatres near you. :evil_laug

    I'm okay with that, as long as you haven't born the spawn of Bertram the pirate ranger. Then I'll have to "change my opinion of you" . . . not to mention my perception of your, um, sexuality. :pirate: :hug:

    And then it rose out of the darkness, more beast than man... and opened it hideous mouth to utter its mournful cry...

    "Ok who lost a filling?"

    :yikes: RUN!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!
