#reloadstatic seems to be a catch-all for most static data except spawngroup information that has changed. (Added NPCs, updates to spawn chance). Is there another command for this?

Hoping that spawngroup data is part of what isn't in "most of what's available" :-D

Most of the creation and/or manipulation I do with NPC's, it's all in-game commands. (with a little editing using George's Tools). As far as items, faction, spells, etc, I just run shared memory for changes to take effect. (note, sometimes, custom merchant lists won't show up until zone is reloaded, just a little rare glitch I run into). If one types #help (with their GM toon), a list of 288 commands show up. Of course, you can always get info on one specific command by typing #help (command). For example, #help repop, #help reloadworld, etc. I use #npcedit, #repop, #reloadworld and #reloadquest a lot more than anything for my own needs.

Thanks Huppy...

Looks like there is no way to reload spawngroup data without restarting the zone.

Hopefully this is added to #reloadstatic at some point.
