Shutdown timer rule/zone basis

[cybernine186]

It compiled good, I am putting this into action ASAP. We have had a lot of trouble with people that use the zone shutdown with 0 players as an exploit to get items that is rare.

Something like this is just what I was looking for.

Thanks a bunch

Might want to grab SVN, which has this already in it. It also has additional changes to this system that prevents a zone crash.

The code above crashes the zone? We have special code that we choose to enter into our source code and do not always use the SVN, usually if I need changes I have to sort through the SVN code and determine what is what.

If you replace the following functions with the code out of the SVN you should be good. I am fairly certain the two changes were made in these functions. I recall one of them dealing with the return value.

Zone\zonedb.cpp
int ZoneDatabase::getZoneShutDownDelay(int32 zoneID)

and

zone\zone.cpp
void Zone::StartShutdownTimer(int32 set_time)

If I get time I will try to pull them and repost here.
