Traders spawning outside of the map

[BetterDeadThanZed]

I'm testing out Chernarus on my test server and I noticed that I have traders spawning outside of the map. Am I missing a setting someplace to define the area they spawn in? Maybe something that defines the size of the map, or the center point?

You're using an old database would be my first thoughts, so it's loading up there old positions, you'll find vehicles are spawning wrong as well.

or you setup using the wrong mission.pbo

 

Chernarus works right out the box, maybe post your RPT log, might shed more light.

If you kill all the traders and destroy all the vehicles they will respawn on the map.

and in the confic.cpp is the worldSize = ....

Richie is right,

 

I had the same issue cause I used the same DB ID as Altis...

I'll just reset the database. That's probably it, because the test server was previously running Altis.

Yeah that would do it.  It was reading the old vehicle and trader positions.  For my test server I have a separate Redis server instance for Altis, Chernarus and Bornhom.  Depending on what I'm testing I'll switch back and forth between the different instances.  It's a bit of a hassle to have to switch back and forth but it prevents issues like you've had there.

With my host, there's a simple "Reset database" icon in the control panel, so wiping the database isn't a big deal when testing different maps since it's only a test server. I don't think I could have separate databases for each map with my host anyway.

Yes, if you previously used the Database for another map you will either need to create a new DB instance and point to that instance in your epochserver.ini and redis.conf...or wipe the database and start over clean...that's what I did.

 

I did notice though the traders are spawning pretty close to one another....I realize the map isn't that big, but I feel that they should be a little more spread out.
