Heya Hello guys,
I spent such a forever amount of time this past week to figure out how to customize spawns for pokemon in pokecube for minecraft. I'm so frustrated, not at the coding I had to learn, but that the folks who knew what I was doing wrong would show me what I was doing wrong in te coding.

I spent the whole week frikken messing around with this and that and everytime I asked "Can you SHOW me where i messed up?" they would respond with garble instructions and "look at the example" which did jack shit because for one, I have been looking at the example. The example doesn't show anything extensive, just basic. AND TWO, I don't understand the frik you are talking about because your examples doesn't explain what each part even does nor an extended list of all the tags for the codes.

It's like telling someone "You're supposed Use the spoiler and mix with Color on FA for that, just use my example I've had around for years (example being [ b ] [/ b].)" WHAT THE FUCK IS THE SPOILER TAG or Color Tag CODES THEN?!?!?!

I finally figured it out ON MY OWN after all this time. By Rooting through the entire mod files until I gathered enough information. Frik.

So it's something like this.

Their Examples:
Bulbasaur | yes | starter YES | .01 |1-2 | forest
Squirtle | yes | starter YES | .01 | 1-2 | lake | water yes
Caterpie | yes| .3 | 3-8 | forest | dry,cold,sparse
Caterpie | no| .3 | 3-8 | wet | dry,cold,sparse

<Spawn name="Bulbasaur" starter="true" overwrite="true" rate="0.01" min="1" max="2" types="forest"/>
<Spawn name="Squirtle" starter="true" overwrite="true" rate="0.01" min="1" max="2" types="lake" water="true"/>
<Spawn name="Caterpie" overwrite="true" rate="0.2" min="4" max="8" types="forest" typesBlacklist="sparse,cold,dry"/>//Overwrite to clear original
<Spawn name="Caterpie" rate="0.2" min="4" max="8" types="wet" typesBlacklist="sparse,cold,dry"/>//Don't overwrite to add

WHAT THE FRIK IS THIS???? WHat are all the tags that can be used? What the hell? water yes??? WATER YES??? Are there OTHER types of tags like that? I don't know? Aparently there's some kinds of dusk/dawn/day/night ones that I don't know how to code either. dry cold sparse? LAKE? WET?!?!?!?! WHat do all of these extra ones mean?!?!?!

In summary, I know of Pokemon | Overwrite data | Spawn rate | amount | location | LocationBlacklist and then there's the unknown factors that they didn't explain. SO, I try to edit the code to match better with what I was looking for. Test by making abra spawn in the end and Sneasel to be blacklisted from the end specifically (as it was assigned to all cold biomes)

Abra | yes |.125 | 1-3 | cave,forest,end
sneasel | yes | .3 | 1-3 | cold | end

<Spawn name="Abra" overwrite="true" rate="0.125" min="1" max="3" types="forest, cave, end"/>
<Spawn name="Sneasel" overwrite="false" rate="0.3" min="1" max="3" types="cave" typesBlacklist="end"/>

Abra didn't work, but sneasel did. I couldn't figure out why abra didn't work and sneasel did work. I asked for them to show me what I did wrong because I couldn't figure it out. Do you know what would have cleared up EVERYTHING? Instead of constantly telling me to look at the shitty examples, all I needed was for them to show me what Abra looked like properly coded. Here's the correct way I SHOULD have done it apparently.

<Spawn name="Abra" overwrite="true" rate="0.125" min="1" max="3" types="forest"/>
<Spawn name="Abra" overwrite="false" rate="0.125" min="1" max="3" types="cave"/>
<Spawn name="Abra" overwrite="false" rate="0.125" min="1" max="3" types="end"/>
Abra | yes |.125 | 1-3 | forest
Abra | no |.125 | 1-3 | cave
Abra | no |.125 | 1-3 | end

APARENTLY you need a new line for each individual biome type. The FIRST code needs to be an overwrite, while the following codes need to not, AND if you have a blacklist, you need to always write the blacklist. I'm honestly pissed off that they decided to bullshit around instead of showing. me. what. I. did. wrong. They need BETTER EXAMPLES too, and a list of all the tags that can possibly be used because heck if I know how to set up the day/night cycle in the code. It wasn't there. Nor do I know all the weird sub biome or temp biome garbage that's able to be used. I know jack shit about the inner codings of the game, because I'm a player not a modder.
