Disable the WorldServer profiler

[Maples]

Don't you hate right-clicking the worldserver GUI everytime to disable the profiler? Here's a simple fix that will disable the profiler. But first, for the ones that do not know what the profiler is, some screenshots:

WorldServer with profiler on:

It generates data like this:

How to disable it:

1. Open VersionCommon.h in the WorldServer project
2. Find all occurrences of #define __NEW_PROFILE and comment those lines out (two slashes at the beginning of the line //)
3. Do the same from above for #define __PROFILE_RUN
4. Compile the WorldServer and you're done.

Result:

Voila, no more profiler logs.

Why not make it be off by default and when someone right clicks the WorldServer it turns on? Not having this might make you debugging a bit harder.

That could be nice, however, I highly doubt 99% of the community will ever have to, or need to, use the profiler.

Sadly enough that is true.

Besides, the profiler doesn't tell you exactly what the problem is when you're debugging. Using Visual Studio to debug is usually a lot more helpful.
