whats the custom spawn point format?????

this isnt working for me

you should add in a spawn point add command like how ArmoredTrain has /atrainpoint which automatically adds a custom spawn point

or give us a spawns data base option in the config so we can just type in the spawnsdatabase name

i changed it to this

but im still getting this

the water depth is already set to 0.0

The depth or Y value will be determined automatically by the plugin and place the boat at ocean (water) level regardless of the value in the plugin.

What size is the map you are using? I ask because the positions seem like they would not be near the outer ocean portion of the map on most maps. What method did you use to find the spawn locations? This could be a map where those positions are in the ocean just wanted to check that first though as the X and Z values seem like on most maps they might still be within the bounds of the island itself.

Might need to take a look at more within the config as well.

I was using spawns database to create the spawn points then went into the spawnsdatabase find the coordinates. My pirates are spawning dead center of the map under the ground and exploding non stop because it cant find a place to spawn. Can you show me the proper format for the coordinates? or at least add an easy command for us to type to add spawn locatoins? my custom map is a one grid around 1500 size

The positions can be found using any normal means of finding the general POS of a place. Simply use this console command to find your position on the map, see if it aligns with the coordinates you were getting previously.

server.printpos

Hi, everybody

Covfere, you are fine with the configuration, you have specified the positions correctly in your second revision. You just need to specify the standard Vector3 through the list, nothing else is required. And no matter what the depth is, the plugin itself will analyze your positions, find the nearest position on the navigation grid and apply it so that the boat appears at the point of the navigation grid. You also have no problems with depth. 

The whole problem you have is that your server has not built a navigation grid on the water. That is, in fact, there are no positions on the navigation grid, which is why the plugin tells you that no place has been found, because there is not a single position where boats can appear and begin their movement. This algorithm, which searches for the nearest point on the navigation grid according to your coordinates, cannot find a position on the navigation grid because it is not available on the server. 

Why this can happen. This is a map issue. There are several reasons why this can happen. 

The first and probably the most obvious is incorrect topologies. It is possible that Decor or Building or Clutter topologies are made on the entire map where there is water. One of these things, but everywhere. Which is not normal behavior for the map. Sites with such topologies may be on the water, but not everywhere. Further, as for other topologies, the Ocean topology may not have been made where there is water, but I don't think that's possible.

The second reason is the depth in all places where there is water does not exceed one meter, but looking at the map it is clear that this is not the case and I would not consider it.

The third reason is that all the positions on the water on the map belong to some kind of monuments, but this is also a crazy idea, the map shows that this is not the case and I cannot present a map with such conditions.

So, I think that in your case there is the first point why there is no navigation grid on the water.

I need to open this map in RustEdit to identify exactly which topology is not being followed. The map developer can contact me at Discord, I can help him, there is no problem.

You can also remove some kind of topology from those prohibited in the creation of the navigation grid. BUT, in this case, there will be a bug with some places on the map for boat movement and the plugin will not work correctly. Depending on which topology is removed, the scale of the problem will be different and in different places.

I talked to the mappers from the Mad Mappers team and we watched the video for this map, most likely there is no Ocean topology on the water, but there is a Lake topology. Thus, there is no navigation grid on the water. Then, for the current map, you can try adding the Lake topology to generate a navigation grid. 

BUT for other maps, this implementation is not suitable, because there are lakes inside the island, on which boats will also appear in this case, and this is already bad, therefore this topology was excluded. 

You can try adding the Lake topology and see if it fixes it, but don't forget to put everything back when you change the map.

Implementation of adding a Lake topology:

private int AcceptedTopology { get; } = (int)(TerrainTopology.Enum.Ocean);

->

private int AcceptedTopology { get; } = (int)(TerrainTopology.Enum.Ocean | TerrainTopology.Enum.Lake);

THANK YOU!
