hey devs & server admins,

i just finished putting together an EQ2 server (RegnumImbrium) but i was surprised to find that when i logged into it there weren't any NPCs, objects, etc., despite the fact that other eq2emulator.net servers do have these things. is this because every other server has an entirely custom database, or did i just fail to import something correctly?

thanks,
rainwalker

EDIT: well, i think i figured out that i'm supposed to do a /reload spawns command. unfortunately, it's telling me that i don't have sufficient privileges. i can't seem to modify the privileges through the server maintenance page on eq2emulator.net and changing admin status from '0' to '1' in the character database didn't help either. how do i change this? also, is there like an initial setup guide for server admins or are we not at that point yet?

The admin status can be a value from 0 to 255. Try changing it to 255 and try again.

thanks, scatman. i now have administrative access so i ran all of the following commands:
# /reload groundspawn_items - Reloads Items data from DB
# /reload items - Reloads Items data from DB
# /reload luasystem - Re-initializes LUA script system
# /reload quests - Reloads zone LUA spawn scripts
# /reload spawnscripts - Reloads zone LUA spawn scripts
# /reload spawns - Reloads entire spawn structure (global respawn)
# /reload spells - Reloads LUA spell scripts
# /reload structs - Reloads EQ2Emu structure xml
# /reload zonescripts - Reloads LUA ZoneScripts
# /repop - Clears and then respawns entire zone

...but after looking around waiting the better part of 20 minutes, i still can't find a single spawned npc. it still says "Zone Repop in progress...".

Thats because there are no spawn in the database. We are still in alpha and haven't published any content.
