THANK YOU! I am SO glad someone said this before I did! You're still in the n00bie scripter frame of mind
You look @ the NPC Server as extra baggage, and a pain. The more advanced scripters look at it as a GREAT TOOL! You have to understand how much EASIER it makes things, and how much more power and control you have with it. A database NPC does not lag that much thank you very much. You think i would suggest something that causes great amounts of lag? Adding TONS of server.strings (which I USED to do back in the day
) causes a bit o' lag. A d/b NPC doesn't create that much. Just because it doesn't have a level means nothing. It is STILL an NPC, and it is basically the same as if it WAS in a level, because the data is STILL sent to the NPC Server, and it is handled yet the same... he he.
