Installing the stealable doom rares
To use the stealable doom rares that are included in the xmlextras package, go through the following steps:
1) place the scripts found in the DoomRares folders of xmlextras in your custom scripts area. They include some of the rares that are not defined by default in the RunUO 1.0 release.
2) You should also replace your container.cs and stealing.cs scripts with the ones that are included in the xmlspawner support package, or you can follow the instructions to add the required mods to your existing scripts if you have already made custom modifications to them.
This adds support for the full xmlspawner stealing/stealables system and provides some important support for spawning things like rares (see the end of the xmlspawner2.txt file in the section titled FIX FOR STOLEN/TAKEN ITEM SPAWNS THAT REMAIN UNDER SPAWNER CONTROL for a description of the general issue).
I recommend making this mod even if you arent using the doomrares since it deals with an issue that will affect any long interval item spawn.
3) in the xmlspawner extras package you will find a file called doomrares.xml in the Spawns/Malas folder. You just have to load that up with
[xmlload Spawns/Malas/doomrares.xml
If you have placed that file (doomrares.xml) somewhere else, just substitute the actual path to file in the xmlload command.
That will place the actual doomrares spawns.

Thank you for posting this, i really needed it, but I still cant get it to use the file...
i used the "[xmlload spawns\malas\doomrares.xml" and that didnt work for me so then I tried "[xmlload customs\xmlspawner\spawns\malas\doomrares.xml" and that didnt work either. says xxx does not exist...

where is the actual doomrares.xml file located on your system at the moment? (the full path)

D:\Documents and Settings\casey hulon\Desktop\RunUO 1.0\Scripts\Customs\XMLspawner\Spawns\Malas
edit: i think thats a little big to fit in uo

ok. By default, xmlspawner will look in either of two locations for XML spawn files. One is in the main RunUO directory. The other is in the Spawns folder located in the main RunUO directory. To get to the file where you have placed it you would need to use something like
[xmlload Scripts\Customs\XMLspawner\Spawns\Malas\doomrares.xml
or the full path
[xmlload D:\Documents and Settings\casey hulon\Desktop\RunUO 1.0\Scripts\Customs\XMLspawner\Spawns\Malas\doomrares.xml
Now if you moved your Spawns folder from where it is currently located (in the Scripts\Customs\XMLspawner folder), to the main RunUO folder, then you could just use
[xmlload doomrares.xml
That's what I would recommend doing. If you dont, then you will always have to give that lengthy pathname to refer to any of the spawn files.

that one worked just fine. i tried to get it to work for about ½ and hour last night, thats why i posted it in the chatterbox and i wasnt registered then either. so this should work with all the xml files right?

yes, given the location of your Spawns folder, you will just have to put "Scripts\Customs\XMLspawner\Spawns" in front of your file names.
