- Updated NPC_Types with some new fields. Backup your DB before sourcing anything..!
- Basic NPC Casting through the databases usedspells column in npc_types.
- NPC's cast spells on self that are considered "unharmful", and use attack spells also.
- If NPC's spells are interrupted, they are now queued as long as they are unharmful spells and casting on self.
- On top of npc.cpp there is now a #define SPELLQUEUE, this is defaulty commented out, if not commented, you will receive
spell information about the NPC's action.
- Added a NPC self spell queue of 20. (If you do #npccast repeatedly for a NPC and its casting, it should queue spells
that it has not yet casted)

BTW depending on your time zone, but being in the chat room eight hours from now (read the timestamp) might be worth your while *hint*

Nice changes the emu is getting to the point where playing in EQ is about to happen. When do you think GMs will work? I think thats the last thing that is major that would make it playable. Im pretty sure you already added questing. So just need GMS and Pets and its playable. =) woot!

Great work!
