Both movies are not from Tibia 7.4
The 2nd one actually IS from Tibia 7.41, you can see a date of 29th July 2005 in the beginning. That's just a week before update to 7.5.
also what is the point of the monsters spawning clockwise or not, they cannot spawn when you're standing there anyways.
In 7.7 monsters belonging to one home spawned on a wider area, away from each other, so I thought maybe that was what you referred to as "spawn area", I don't know. That's how the algorithm worked, but no area was defined 'per se' in the spawns file, so I have no idea where you got that from in your "compiled map". And I've side-noted that the algorithm was way different back in 7.4 anyway (monsters spawning around the point).
My simple opinion and some thrown facts and a picture are just enough for you to call me highly ignorant and my memory biased, I no longer feel the need of having a chat no more, enough of internet for today.
You've come to my thread and called my research a "superstition", but you did not care to atleast check it carefuly (when I literally put it in your face to let you verify for yourself) or provide any valid counter-point whatsoever. You haven't thrown any fact in here, dude. This is the only reason I called you ignorant, not the opinion itself.
And I didn't mean to offend your memories, but memories are always biased (and faulty) as a matter of one's perception. That's also why it's an ignorance to rely on your memory only, and deny every other source.
Here, at 3:10~, we can see that the usual spawn in mino hell was 5 minos, just as in 7.7, so all these occurrences of 20+ minos in the room must have happened due to overspawn:
Also at 0:58 you may spot an overspawn in bear cave (12 bears, when only 7 respawn there), and some rot hell in the beginning.
Here you can see more pics of rot hell (up to ~20 rotworms, with only 5 rots possible + 2 more to be roped as for 7.7).

Of course, not all of them come from 7.4, but some certainly DO, and as I said, it worked since atleast 6.X to 7.4 (might have worked since ever and was probably removed in 7.5 when anti-luring was introduced instead, I did not find anything from 7.5 or newer). Sure, we can't truly know how things worked without the code, but there's enough of legit sources to conclude what I've concluded. And nothing so far to support your opinion.
