is there a way i can spawn a mob this is mounted, just through what i can edit in game on a xml spawner.
the shard i staff on im a GM so i dont have access to the actual server files so i can not manipulate them.
idea was to spawn a modified mob riding a modified mount (using BodyValues of creatures that can mount or are mounts already in game)

I'm confused on your second part of your question. Yes Mounts are already in the game. You can only mount mobiles with a human or elven body (Savages,Bandits,Humans,Elves). How you'd do it specifically with XMLSpawner I don't know and Arte seems to be MIA for the past week(ish). Hopefully someone with a bit more experience with XMLSpawner can help there. I'm ALMOST sure it can be done though, probably some kind of spawn group with the Mount field of the first mob being the second mob and setting the first mobs Mounted field to true and if there is a Rider field in mounts (don't recall off the top of my head) set that to the first mob. If you have access to the props command you can target a brigand and check these and you can target a horse or ostard or swamp dragon or beetle or any other mount and check the other fields. I'd suggest doing all testing in Green Acres before putting it on a normal active spawner though.

the second part isnt a question really, it is more outlining what i have done so far/ what my powers as staff are
what it is i turned a ridgeback into a ridable polar bear and a frost troll into a savage i can go through props and manually mount the savage-frosttroll onto the ridgeback-polarbear but i want it to spawn that way.
in the props menu on the ridgeback (as well as all mounts) there is an option for "Rider" which lets you target rider, set by serial number, or null (i believe not in game at the moment)
i have tried in the xmlspawner to say something along the line of:
ridgeback/bodyvalue/###/rider/<frosttroll/bodyvalue##>
and that didnt work, i ahve also tried many other combinations simular to that
tried giving the troll a unique name and tried using the MOB command, also with no luck.
.../rider/MOB/<frosttroll....
.../rider/MOB,<frosttroll...
.../rider/MOB.<frosttroll...
all no luck.
