What you are describing already is in eqemu.  I have several zones with day spawns, night spawns, and all other kinds of uses for spawn conditions with auto depop/repop based on time. The post you mentioned does explain it pretty well.  What did you put into your spawn_events table to trigger the spawning at the time periods? 
 
Also, evil eye dropped manastone, not jboots
