This type of area uses a special XML code to generate the rooms and mobs within it.

BASE AREA

The StdAutoGenInstance will replace all of the rooms of the base area once a player enters the area. Note: GRID rooms should not be used as the base room for StdAutoGenInstance areas, because players will never enter the base room (always a child room) of the area, which causes the instance to not load.

PARAMETERS

When editing the are of a StdAutoGenInstance, you can specify certain parameters in the following format:

  • theme=forest level_range=5?10
    • This will create a forest theme (assuming it is defined in the xml file) with the level between 5 and 10.

Notes

  • StdAutoGenInstance does not inherit settings from the area definition. It gets all of its information from the defined XML file.
    • For example, if you desire a Fantasy&Tech theme StdAutoGenInstance, you must define that in the XML file, not through MODIFY AREA.
