Invasion Master Gump
Overview
This custom ServUO system provides an automated framework for managing and monitoring town-specific monster invasions. It is a modernized consolidation of the original script by
Ravenwolfe, optimized for performance and ease of administration. The core system and spawns are unchanged.
Key Features
- Consolidated UI: A single "Master Control" gump handles scheduling, monster selection, boss selection, and live status monitoring.
- File Consolidation: Reduced from five original source files to two, grouping logical components (Enums, Spawn Entries, Core Logic, and Persistence) into a single backend file and a dedicated UI file.
- Automated Scheduling: Support for UTC-based start times with a global cap of 7 simultaneous events to prevent server lag.
- Persistence: Full serialization support ensures that queued or active invasions resume correctly after a server reboot.
- Smart Region Management: Automatically toggles GuardedRegion status.
- Cooldown Enforcement: Tracks a 1-hour "rest" period for towns.
