The map data has the following Elements:
protectItem 1102109
timeMob id 6090001
timeMob startHour 22
timeMob endHour 14
timeMob message The Snow Witch has appeared in the midst of a snowstorm. Offer drop items on the Altar of the Hunter to appease the angry Snow Witch.
ProtectItem points to the vnum of the reactor object with the script to disable the botcatcher.
TimeMob ID is the vnum of the mob to summon.
startHour and EndHour are the time range that the bot catcher is active. The mob will only respawn during this period when it's mobtime is up.
timeMob message is the message displayed when the mob is summoned.
Further down you can also find:
life 26 id 6090001
life 26 mobTime 3600
This is the instance of the mob on the map, and how frequently it should appear, 3600 being an hour.
It's questionable whether or not it's only summoning between the startHour and EndHour, but the functionality for it to do so was originally there, making it possible for the magatia mobs to only summon overnight.
Rurumo in particular has a very jacked up schedule:
Catcher startHour endHour mobTime message Deet and Roi 3 7 2400 With the fricatives of rusty machines, Deet and Roi has appeared. Complete the pentacle to weaken Deet and Roi. Master Dummy 3 7 2400 The Master Dummy has begun patrolling the Beginner Training Center. Record your name on the Training Diary to avoid getting scolded by the Master Dummy. Riche 0 4 3600 Riche has appeared. Rurumo 3 7 2400 With undecipherable whispers, Rurumo has appeared. Use the poison spray to weaken Rurumo. Scholar Ghost 22 14 3600 A cry of a ghost is echoing throughout the hills. The Scholar Ghost has appeared. Offer the tail of a Three-Tailed-Fox on the Stone Tower to appease the grieving Scholar Ghost. Security Camera 3 7 3600 Automated Security System will activate. Operate the control unit to regulate the system. Shade 22 14 3600 Shade has appeared from the shadow of the subway. You must light the street lamp on Shade to weaken its power. Snow Witch 22 14 3600 The Snow Witch has appeared in the midst of a snowstorm. Offer drop items on the Altar of the Hunter to appease the angry Snow Witch.
So Rurumo spawns every 40 minutes between between 3 am and 7 am PST. Yeah. That's not entirely worthless, not at all.
so, shade and snow witch spawn at all times except 3-9pm pst?
