Mob database increase useless?

[sietse11]

Hey,

 

I want a mobID above 4000 for custom mobs.

On a site  I found I noticed mob id's could become 3000+

the site (http://nn.nachtwolke.com)

SO to be  on the save side Im wanting to increase my custom mob id's

 

Heres the problem,

 

I increased my max_mob_DB to 12000

Now when I log in all mobs appear as porings or novice females.

Looks like its kinda random, because in new1-1 I have 3 spots a custom mob spawns. all with the same ID

But they spawn as porings and novice.

 

Below 3000 all ids work.

4000-4999 avoided

5000 combination of porings and novice

8000 novice

10000 novice

11000 not recognized-- probably cause of player clones(max_mob_db set at 14999)

 

My Question

Is there any value above 4999 that can be used for mob id's?

I am looking for a safe amount of 1000 id's

 

and do homs use the same id database?

cause then i need to avoid 6000-6999 aswell

 

I think the problem has soething to do with player clones.

I believe the formula is max_mob_db - 999 = player clone id's

But I think this is broken somewhere and instead creates player clone id'd for everything above 5000?!

Did you recompile after making that change?

 

And did you edit your LUA files for mobs?
