Can u change in ur relase the mongen to be read from text files. before u will think this is a stupid thing, i am adding here arguments why i suggest this:
to create spawn in SQL is a pain in the @ss, is very "unclean" to say so...because i cant group spawns on categories for each maps, if i added some spawns then after them other spawn i cant add new spawns near the old added, in this way after adding lots of mobs our spawn table looks like hell, and u cant see what is there only if you know sql very well to make selects on columns and bla bla...
Mir3 for example has database in sql but the mon files and mapinfo is in txt because is easy to manage, also is easy to visualize them.
ye i know SQL is faster, but the Mapinfo and mongen are loaded at the start of m2server.exe and this is a problem of seconds.
If u are not agree with mapinfo at least be agree with mongen because creating spawns in sqll is a really pain.
i am attaching a full MonGen set of files for 2.3 including ViperCaves, FoxMobs and EM...well structured and organized in text mode. Take a look TheDeath and tell me ur opinion if this is far more better or not then SQL
thanks
