Corpse of [object]

[John Adams]

I have many objects spawning as corpses (Corpse of a Chemistry Table, Corpse of qey_sign_post, etc).

Two things:
1) What is causing objects to spawn as corpses?
2) How do I stop this from happening, or is there a code bug or something that can be done server-side to prevent this?
Obviously some data is wrong, I just do not know which value.

Also, what was the magic setting to make objects "solid"? I thought it was like initial_state or something, but that's not in `spawn_objects`, which has only 1 usable value (spawn_id).
Thanks

Objects automatically are set as solid. If they aren't there there is a problem with the spawn data somehow. We might think about moving the *_state (and activity_status) fields from spawn_npcs to spawn to avoid issues in the future.
BTW, try setting the HP to 1. The client is probably thinking it is a corpse since the HP is 0.

I tried that, setting HP = 1 or even 1000 and restarting, the objects still spawned as corpses. I cannot say this happens every time the zone starts though. I know sometimes I see the object as a corpse, sometimes not. Cannot tell you what the differing conditions are, though.

Was working extensively on this trying to understand why these tables were corpses on spawn. For another reason, I decided to switch from Debug compiled EQ2World.exe to a Release (SVN) compiled EQ2World.exe - the benches are no longer corpses.
Hope this helps narrow down the issue.

Ok, odd... let me re-state the above 1/2 truth. Seems I am in Release compile now, and while in Debug, 100% of the objects, 100% of the time were corpses... now 1/2 of them seem to be corpses, some have the normal white names like tradeskill benches should, and some have that odd cyan name like they are something other than a useable object.
I stood there and /repop'd about 10 times, and the 6 forges I was watching alternated which ones were corpses, blue, and white with each repop. So it's definitely something in the object spawning that's not right.

Should be fixed now. Let me know if you have problems.
