cars local host question

[zimnl]

For some reason cars do not spawn at all, is this a config file issue?
If so, what do i need to edit to make cars spawn again?
Would love to drive a car

it sounds like you may have edited something on your server that is stopping cars spawning as i run my own server from another pc i have setup and cars spawn fine for myself and the people on my server i would look back at any modding you have done to the server and see if you messed something up.

Can u please do me one favor, look at your types file, open it up, search for sedan, and then copy paste what ever is there, in here? So i can compare it to my types file?

<type name="Sedan_02">
<nominal>0</nominal>
<lifetime>3</lifetime>
<restock>1800</restock>
<min>0</min>
<quantmin>-1</quantmin>
<quantmax>-1</quantmax>
<cost>100</cost>
<flags count_in_cargo="0" count_in_hoarder="0" count_in_map="1" count_in_player="0" crafted="0" deloot="0"/>
</type>
<type name="CivilianSedan">
<nominal>0</nominal>
<lifetime>3</lifetime>
<restock>1800</restock>
<min>0</min>
<quantmin>-1</quantmin>
<quantmax>-1</quantmax>
<cost>100</cost>
<flags count_in_cargo="0" count_in_hoarder="0" count_in_map="1" count_in_player="0" crafted="0" deloot="0"/>
</type>



that is what i have.

You have a lifetime of 3 seconds, so after 3 seconds the car will despawn. 45 days would be 3888000 seconds.

<lifetime>3</lifetime>

I believe this only kicks in when a part is ruined though but it will result in cars possibly disapering as soon as you look away when damaged.

i don't believe you need any of that as the server seems handles vehicles differently from loot items.

In my experience the <nominal> value for vehicles in the types.xml must be set at zero or vehicle will not spawn.

The <nominal> value for vehicles is set in the events.xml, not the types.xml

Also all that stuff you tacked on the end, "category name" "usage name" and "value name" should not be there.

Also, if you want to stop a vehicle type spawning in game that is done in the events.xml by changing the value <active>1</active> to <active>0</active> for the vehicle that you don't want spawning.

FYI, the value <lifetime>3</lifetime> in the types.xml is the default value that the server files ship with at the moment.
