It doesnt seem like it would take patience to make it compatible with an npc server, just a good algorithim. All the programming thus after could me made based around the npc server. The npcs on the server that need to be serverside could be changed back to serverside, but probably more likely, most of the npcs in the levels need to be clientside, so it makes more sense to convert them all to clientside first using an automated process.
Making everything clientside would just make things more confusing than they are... believe me, I've had to put up with the extra bs that com's script converter did in plenty of levels... I'd probably have done all of mapped Graal right now if it hadn't uglified things so much.
