Question - Spawnmaster

So I've gathered that by adding # in front of the name, I can get it to do spaces by editing the INI. The issue I'm having now is if the name is repeated in something. Example: Innoruuk in PoHate there are a million trash mobs with Innoruuk in the name. This means when I zone into PoHate, I'm getting told that basically half the zone is up. Is there a way to limit it to JUST the actual Inny? Similar things happen in other zones, but that was the first one that came to mind.

Edit: Nevermind. The # fixed my issue. Just had to camp to test rather than using /spawn load and then /spawn uplist.
 
This is something I also have been mildly curious of for quite a while but never spent time to figure it out let alone ask the Q. Thanks for the Question and the Answer here!

I am sure others have come up with a better way of doing this, but this works for me.

I created a blank template at the bottom of my MQ2SpawnMaster.ini file that looks like this

Rich (BB code):
[blank spawn]
Spawn0=#
Spawn1=#
Spawn2=#
Spawn3=#
Spawn4=#
Spawn5=#
Spawn6=#
Spawn7=#
Spawn8=#
Spawn9=#
Spawn10=#
Spawn11=#
Spawn12=#
Spawn13=#
Spawn14=#
Spawn15=#
Spawn16=#
Spawn17=#
Spawn18=#
Spawn19=#
Spawn20=#
Spawn21=#
Spawn22=#
Spawn23=#
Spawn24=#
Spawn25=#

Then when I enter a new zone, I target any mob and type in /spawnmaster add" just to get an INI entry made for that zone in the INI.

Rich (BB code):
[Ruins of Lxanvom]
Spawn0=a corpse scavenger

Then I hit up a website for a list of the named mobs I want to know about, say EQResource. I count up how many are there, and copy that many blank spawn entries to be under the zone's entry (accounting for the numbers starting at 0) and then I copy/paste the names into them.

Rich (BB code):
[Ruins of Lxanvom]
Spawn0=#Abroan Drian
Spawn1=#Akkapan Adan
Spawn2=#Brightfire
Spawn3=#Feig Adan
Spawn4=#Fountainhead
Spawn5=#Grublus
Spawn6=#Rusank
Spawn7=#Seraphina
Spawn8=#Xhut Adan

save the file, and ingame type in /spawnmaster load.
