You may also want to look at the order in which your areas load in your area.lst file. limbo.are should be one of the very first.

Did you perhaps remove limbo.are? If so, you need to put it back. Mob #3 is your "supermob" which is a required element for Smaug mudprogs to work right.

Another thing I noticed, is that it always gets errors from the existing areas with smaug, I was going to look at those to see if I could spot what I was doing wrong.

Sounds like you are referencing a non-existent mob. Perhaps you have a reset for a mob that doesn't exist? Try downloading the area editor from this site, and running an area check on your new area.
