What Tools can be developed to help world building?

[froglok23]

Hi all,

I’d like to know some ideas for tools which could be developed to ease database populating.

my first thought was an application, which showed the map (much the same as the map inside of EQ) but on a larger scale, where you could set NPC's pathing, something like click on a point, then another point, then another point, then set delays, timers, triggers. Something along them lines.

Now I’m happy to write something like this, but in order for me to, if someone who is family with zones/maps from a code point of view could liaise with me, We could get it done much quicker.

So please, submit your WELL THOUGHT OUT ideas and suggestions here, the more tools we write to do replace manually doing things, the less the error rate will be and the better the end result will be.
