You sure seem to have a lot of trouble with search engines.

Anyway, the problem is... well I don't know...
Cujo started the process, we have a class called "instance" and a class called "intro_instance_map". a

Then inside our NPCs we have InstanceManager.

Inside Folderconfig
level temp/*.graal
level temp/*.nw
level temp/*.gmap
file temp/*.gmap

Inside NPC Server:
r levels/0intro/*
rw levels/temp/*.nw

We both aren't sure what is supposed to happen next, but we do know for the most part that it is not working. This is something we would absolutely love to have for the intro, but he and I cannot seem to figure it out. I just checked today, the whole thing is confusing. The only thing it seemed like I had to do that it did not look like he did was add the rights to the NPC server..

Not sure what type of details are needed..

PHP Code:

// class "easter2k11_instance_map"
public function prepare() {
  // choose a random map
  this.mapLevelName = IntroMapControl.getRandomMapName();
  
  temp.resources = {
    "levels/0intro/" @ realMapLocation
  }; 


PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  // basic setup
  GameInstance = newInstanceTemplate("TStaticVar");
  GameInstance.setTempPath("levels/temp/"); // folder which holds resources
  GameInstance.setEmergencyExit("shaded_p09.nw", 30, 30);
  
  IntroMapInstance = newInstanceTemplate("GameInstance");
  IntroMapInstance.setTempPath("levels/intro0/");
  IntroMapInstance.join("intro_instance_map");
} 


He joined the class in basically all the levels.. It doesn't use a gmap.. I don't know ...
Can anyone help?

It seems like this script is going over your heads. The class does not need to be joined in any levels. The main NPC will handle that. See how I did the easter map and then modify that to suit your needs (copy the appropriate levels).

Also see how I created new instances. All of that information is in the OP.
