You can change your spawn location but that’s not really a simple easy thing that everyone wants to explain to the community all the time. 😛 But I can give you a tip. If you start hitting space around 80% loading your jetpack will start and you won’t be on the bottom by the time you login. Because I know flying all the way back up to the VE sucks. So yeah just start hitting Space around 80%.

Tim, what you’re showing here is not correct. There is a note in the picture saying «Player position is probably for preloading content near the player» and that’s the case. It’s not possible to change your spawn location by editing the LOAD_STATIC_ZONE packet (a.k.a. char_aw2.bin).

I’ll try to answer your last question. All enemies and NPC’s are spawned dynamically. So, you need a RM (Replica Manager) which generate new enemies after some time. Sadly, the other devs and me don’t know how to fully use & implement the RM. Your spawnpoint also only can be changed by RM. This means you will have to wait (or help developing).

As long as you hope, you can.

@HailStorm, when you log out and log back in, you used to reappear where you logged out. That means when joining a world, any position is possible. The problem with the coordinates is that the server uses the RM to spawn a Player object that you then control. It’s this Player object that is responsable for where your minifigure finally appears.

– When you logged into LEGO Universe and were on the same map as your friend but couldn’t see each other, you were on different map instances, that’s at least how I see it atm. map clone is also there, i think it has something to do with properties.
– I have sadly no idea what that does
– There is a list of map ids at Infos/Worlds on this site.

There is a place where all this is stored, but it doesn’t really help to know it without the knowledge how to implement it into the server. Character customization will come.

Actually we hope to create some docs, and there already are some, but it depends on what you know and what you plan to do.

EasyWorld Changer does nothing else than change hex values afaik, but is easier to use, yes. Is the second sentence a different question?

You can’t see other players, because the server can not at this point send information about one player to other players, e.g. create them for the client or update their position.

There is a system the client software requires us to use, that manages all objects in the game. When anything appears in your game, this system «created» it for your client. At the moment that only works for the player your joining the server with, and no form of recieving updates from the server is implemented.
