For SE_Gate, base2 is which bind to use (starting at 1)
For SE_BindAffinity, base1 is which bind to set (starting at 1)
For SE_GateCastersBindpoint, base1 is which bind to use (starting at 1)
here was actually no spells that don't send to the main bind,
but it uses a base1 of 1 which matches with SE_Gate
This also doesn't break anything
The quest stuff for now hasn't been updated to be able to make use of the extra binds
There are a total of 5 bind points, with the 5th being your starting city
- When a zone boots, it will spawn an invisible npc by the name of zone_controller
- Lua and Perl scripts can be represented with this npc as zone_controller.pl/lua
- This NPC's ID is ruled be define ZONE_CONTROLLER_NPC_ID 10
- Two EVENT's uniquely are handled with this NPC/controller (They only work with the zone_controller NPC)
- EVENT_SPAWN_ZONE :: All NPC spawns in the zone trigger the controller and pass the following variables:
$spawned_entity_id
$spawned_npc_id
- EVENT_DEATH_ZONE :: All NPC deaths in the zone trigger the controller event and pass the following variables:
$killer_id
$killer_damage
$killer_spell
$killer_skill
$killed_npc_id

- NPC:NPCToNPCAggroTimerMin 500 (Now 6000) 6 seconds
- NPC:NPCToNPCAggroTimerMax 2000 (Now 60000) 60 seconds
- Database version 9089 will take care of this update automatically only if you used the default values
- The CPU cost of NPC's checking the entire entity list to cast beneficial spells (Heals/Buffs) becomes extremely high when
higher NPC count zones exist (Based off of process profiling)
- Distance checks for every single NPC to every single other NPC who are casting beneficial spells occur every .5 - 2 seconds unless
npc_spells dictates other values, which most of the time it does not
- Zones that once fluctuated from 1-8% CPU with no activity (Idle but players present) now idle at .5% based on my testings due
to this change in conjunction with the past few performance commits, these are zones that have 600-800 NPC's in them
- These values normally are overidden by the spells table (npc_spells), fields (idle_no_sp_recast_min, idle_no_sp_recast_max)
