* [Quest API] Default ScaleNPC to always scale.
# Notes
- ScaleNPC will now always override stats, with the option to override special abilities.
* Update npc_scale_manager.h
# Perl
- Add `$npc->ScaleNPC(level, always_scale_stats)`.
- Add `$npc->ScaleNPC(level, always_scale_stats, always_scale_special_abilities)`.
# Lua
- Add `npc:ScaleNPC(level, always_scale_stats)`.

4. `EVENT_COMBAT`
5. `EVENT_DEATH`
6. `EVENT_DEATH_COMPLETE`
7. `EVENT_SAY`
8. `EVENT_SIGNAL`
9. `EVENT_SLAY`
10. `EVENT_SLAY_NPC`
11. `EVENT_SPAWN`
12. `EVENT_TARGET_CHANGE`
13. `EVENT_TIMER`
14. `EVENT_USE_SKILL`
# Common
- Convert NPC pointers in common events to Mob pointers so bots are supported.
- Convert signal IDs to `int` where it wasn't already, allowing negative signals to be sent properly.
* Add EVENT_POPUP_RESPONSE.
* Cleanup and fix EVENT_COMBAT/EVENT_SLAY/EVENT_NPC_SLAY.
* Fix DoNPCEmote calls.
* Update attack.cpp
* Update event_codes.h
* Update bot_command.cpp
* [Commands] Cleanup #modifynpcstat Command.
Cleanup messages and logic,
Add map and loop through it to display all stats, can add to this in the future if we add more stuff modifiable by this command.
* Delete settings.json
* Update modifynpcstat.cpp
* Update modifynpcstat.cpp
* Update questmgr.h
* [NPC Scaling] Recalculate Skills and Reload Spells on Level Change
- Add $npc->ReloadSpells() to Perl.
- Add npc:ReloadSpells() to Lua.
Previously, you would you have to manually call RecalculateSkills() after you scale the NPC, now the call is built in to the scaling.
Spells did not reload when NPCs were scaled, causing them to continue to use their low/high level spells depending upon which way their level had been scaled, this has been adding to the scaling method. This will make NPCs properly use their level-based spells.
RecalculateSkills() and ReloadSpells() can still be used manually if people scale using something other than the source scaling method. Having this functionality built in to the scaling itself just makes more sense to me. Open to any ideas or thoughts.
* Reload spell effects, too.
* [Titles] Cleanup titles, title suffix, and last name methods.
- Use strings instead of const chars*.
- Add optional parameter to SetAATitle in Lua so you can save to the database similar to Perl.
- Cleanup #lastname command.
- Cleanup #title command.
- Cleanup #titlesuffix command.
* Update npc.cpp
* [Quest API] Add corpse->GetLootList() and npc->GetLootList() to Perl and Lua.
- Add $corpse->GetLootList() to Perl.
- Add $npc->GetLootList() to Perl.
- Add corpse:GetLootList() to Lua.
- Add npc:GetLootList() to Lua.
Returns an array of item IDs for use with corpse and NPC methods such as HasItem(item_id), CountItem(item_id), and GetFirstSlotByItemID(item_id).
* Categories.
* Modify Lua to use classes.
- Add $npc->HasItem(item_id) to Perl.
- Add $npc->CountItem(item_id) to Perl.
- Add $npc->GetItemIDBySlot(loot_slot) to Perl.
- Add $npc->GetFirstSlotByItemID(item_id) to Perl.
- Add $corpse->HasItem(item_id) to Perl.
- Add $corpse->CountItem(item_id) to Perl.
- Add $corpse->GetItemIDBySlot(loot_slot) to Perl.
- Add $corpse->GetFirstSlotByItemID(item_id) to Perl.
- Add npc:HasItem(item_id) to Lua.
- Add npc:CountItem(item_id) to Lua.
- Add npc:GetItemIDBySlot(loot_slot) to Lua.
- Add npc:GetFirstSlotByItemID(item_id) to Lua.
- Add corpse:HasItem(item_id) to Lua.
- Add corpse:CountItem(item_id) to Lua.
- Add corpse:GetItemIDBySlot(loot_slot) to Lua.
- Add corpse:GetFirstSlotByItemID(item_id) to Lua.
These methods will allow server operators to view the loot a current has in a slot, the first slot found by item ID, count the item by ID, and see if the NPC has the item.
With that functionality you could build a custom loot system and modify loot more dynamically.
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.
Special thanks to ChaosSlayerZ for noticing the issue here: http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=41731
Added two new NPC special_abilities, ALWAYS_FLEE and FLEE_PERCENT.
Fixed an issue where a NPC could get stuck on a single coord in a rectangular roambox.
Added mindelay to spawngroup to allow for greater control of the roambox delay. SQL is required.
