zone instancing questions
ok I realize there are some difficulties with instancing, but lets say you want a group to enter into this zone? now with a zone being instancted to just 1 character or accoutn, won't that mean other people in your group are excluded from entering into the instance?
Also the other thing that comes to mind is dynamic mob stats. Is it posibable to enter a varable as a field in an entery in the ncp_types table and take the value from a perl script for which an NPC take from the group average?
Mabey like someone said earlier, have a zone lets say guka renamed serveral times to things such as guka01, guka02 and so on in the eq client files. People don't need to download them just to make a copy of the guka files and rename it to the appropiate zone name. i do realize with each new instance created this way an entery will also have to be entered into the DB with the corrosponding name. But this is not really true instancing.
Just a though that came to mind upon reading this posting
