Re: Setting up a Windows POL server. A tutorial.

Well if the command populates items from a config file you could use ListObjectsInBox() for the whole realm - if the item is at the XYZ in the config file and the object type matches - remove it.

Re: Free Shard Developers, what motivates you to develop and operate a shard?

Re: .unloadcfg - There is possible, now?

You can totally unload npcdesc.cfg - you just have to unload them the way they are read in in any script(s) ::npcdesc :*:npcdesc :pkgname:npcdesc followed by ReloadConfiguration() You can unload and reload an itemdesc.cfg for scripts to read in but it wont affect the core's handling of itemdesc.cfg ...

Re: Stats Regen Rate...

If you are changing the return value of function GetLifeRegenRateExported(mob) in your script then you would have to restart POL because it is an exported function. Exported functions get cached in a special way to make them run extremely fast. If you want to change the regeneration rates without re...

Re: Got a project for a scripter, willing to donate their ti

Each tile sends something to a destination. You put a tile on each side and its a two-way teleport.
You need to put a lot more detail down for what exactly it is you're looking for.
