Anyways, I find just seeing whats in the zone usefull, thought it might help a GM.

I agree, using #listnpcs is somewhat painful, and a window would be much nicer.

If we put this somewhere else (outside of the #ifdef EQBOTS section in zone/botAI.cpp), we can very easily call it from zone/command.cpp:

void EntityList::ShowSpawnWindow(Client* client, int Distance, bool NamedOnly) {

	const char *WindowTitle = "Bot Tracking Window";

	string WindowText;
	int LastCon = -1;
	int CurrentCon = 0;
	
	int32 array_counter = 0;
	
	LinkedListIterator<Mob*> iterator(mob_list);
	iterator.Reset();

	while(iterator.MoreElements())
	{
		if (iterator.GetData() && (iterator.GetData()->DistNoZ(*client)<=Distance))
		{
			if(iterator.GetData()->IsTrackable()) {
				Mob* cur_entity = iterator.GetData();

				if(NamedOnly) {
					if(!strncasecmp(cur_entity->GetName(), "a_", 2) ||
					   !strncasecmp(cur_entity->GetName(), "an_", 3)) {

						iterator.Advance();
					   	continue;
					}
				}


				CurrentCon = client->GetLevelCon(cur_entity->GetLevel());

				if(CurrentCon != LastCon) {

					if(LastCon != -1)
						WindowText += "</c>";

					LastCon = CurrentCon;

					switch(CurrentCon) {

						case CON_GREEN: {
							WindowText += "<c \"#00FF00\">";
							break;
						}

						case CON_LIGHTBLUE: {
							WindowText += "<c \"#8080FF\">";
							break;
						}
						case CON_BLUE: {
							WindowText += "<c \"#2020FF\">";
							break;
						}

						case CON_YELLOW: {
							WindowText += "<c \"#FFFF00\">";
							break;
						}
						case CON_RED: {
							WindowText += "<c \"#FF0000\">";
							break;
						}
						default: {
							WindowText += "<c \"#FFFFFF\">";
							break;
						}
					}
				}

				WindowText += cur_entity->GetCleanName();
				WindowText += "<br>";

				if(strlen(WindowText.c_str()) > 4000) {
					// Popup window is limited to 4096 characters.
					WindowText += "</c><br><br>List truncated ... too many mobs to display";
					break;
				}
			}
		}

		iterator.Advance();
	}
	WindowText += "</c>";

	client->SendPopupToClient(WindowTitle, WindowText.c_str());

	return; 
}

However, I think it might be better to make it a new function so that we can utilize a search string if we want to filter results.
