This should allow us to emulate lives global tables
The options available to filter tables are min_level, max_level, race,
rare, raid, race, class, bodytype, and zone.
race, class, bodytype, and zone are a pipe | separated list of IDs
NPCs were setting a singular chance value and each item was checking based on this value, making the probability field not a random chance per item.
This removes the probability field from NPCs, SetMerchantProbability() and GetMerchantProbability() and makes the probability field truly random chance.

This commit makes combat much more live like. This is based on a lot of parses
done by TAKP and myself. There are numerous things based on dev quotes and
hints. Pretty much all combat has changed, spell effects correct, stacking
correct, etc.
This is the fist stage of the revamp, I will be trying to remove some code
duplication and make things generally cleaner.
Server ops will have to rebalance their NPCs. AC actually means something now.
Rough recommendations?
Level 50 "classic" trash should be no more than 115.
Classic raid mobs should be more 200+ etc
Other "classic" NPCs should be a lot lower as well.
PoP trash probably shouldn't exceed 120 AC
PoP raids should be higher
Devs have said the vast majority of NPCs didn't exceed 600 AC until very
recently. The exceptions were mostly raid encounters.
There really isn't a good "default" for every server, so this will be up to
the devs to find where they want their server stats to be.
This should be fairly close to live-like.
Based on client decompiling, Torven's write up and parses and more parses.
It will probably break your server.
This change allows #npcedit
armtexture/bracertexture/handtexture/legtexture/feettexture to work
properly and sets individual armor slot materials for NPCs.
Fixed the deletion of items so that they occur immediately when removed from corpse instead of clicking 'Done'
Fixed loading of item tints and other fields since atoi caps at 2147483647
Conversion portion mostly complete
Some header readability cleanup
Some function renaming
Struct renaming
Many variable renaming
MySQL error log for all of QueryDatabase
Corpse table renaming
Corpse table field renaming
Most corpse database functions redone
This gives us a much more straight forward way of setting mob
attack delay with respect to live.
The attack_delay column is in 10ths of seconds, just like weapons are
The attack_speed is left for references for now.
consistent across all relevant effects (treating avoidance
and hit chance bonuses equally).
Rule ArcheryHitPenalty will now calc correctly (Was doing basically nothing)
New field npc_types 'Avoidance' (add avoidance bonus to npc)
Rules for setting min / max chance to hit
Implemented innate defensive and range procs
Implemented ability to fine tune AI casting behavior/timers
Global rules for AI casting behavior/timers
NPC Ranged attack updates, set skill and ammo type in npc_types
Various clean ups in attack related functions.
Other minor fixes.
See Change Log, +required, +optional SQL
New npc_types field to allow any NPC to be untargetable with F8
Swarm pets will now be heal/buffable like live.
See change log for more details.
Note: The method used here to prevent
targeting is a hack but the only side
effect it turns affected NPC's names Yellow.
