zone population

zone population only works is SP, not in MP, how can i change that?
even copy, paste from an existing system doesn't work..., and also modify those existing zones changes it in a empty space in multiplayer

only thing with 'search forums' i could find is that patrols crashes (around 30 times or so), but nothing about zone populations

[zone
nickname = zone_St04_pop_space
pos = -13917, 0, 10494
shape = SPHERE
size = 30000
sort = 4
toughness = 19
density = 9
repop_time = 10
max_battle_size = 6
pop_type = background
relief_time = 20
faction_weight = fc_ou_grp, 10
density_restriction = 4, lawfuls
encounter = area_assault, 19, 0.650000
faction = fc_ou_grp, 1.000000

i hope you didn`t forget about adding shortcuts to the encounters used in that system on top of the file ..
because
population zones work fine (also in mp)

EDIT:
your zone entry looks ok ..

Ok, whole story (first of all, I did :-p, copying that encounterthingie in the top)

I made a system (St04) and connected it to Hi01 (alpha).
Then I would have more NPC. So:
Hi01 has a zone pop near malta. I edited that so there are more NPc and respawn is faster... but instead of more NPC and so on, space is as empty as my stomach right now.
another thing I did was copying that original zone near malta and placed it in St04 (my system) with other position and other poptype (background)

even in other systems I made before same as now.

if there`s a problem with it i think it got to do with encounters and/or pop types .. can only advice you to try many different ..

max_battle_size = 6
density_restriction = 6

ok, works ty !!!

changed area_assault to area_defend; maybe assault didn't work coz there was nothing to destroy :-p
also background changed to exclusion, but i think not it was the problem itself
