[REQ] Spawn "size_offset"

[John Adams]

LE, in going through a lot of the data lately, I am noticing that many spawns have the exact same appearances _except_ for size. Do you (or anyone) know if SOE may use some sort of size_offset, so when a spawn pops in, it's size could be between say, 35 and 39? The example I use in our data are the spawns "dark horror".

I understand these are "event" spawns, but it got me thinking... if we wanted to use a single spawn ID, but have the spawns appear slightly different each time, we could set a size_offset of like 5, and the spawn will pop either -5 or +5 than the configured "size" field.

Yah we could do that. Add it to the spawns table whenever you are ready and just let me know so I'll add the code support.

Ok, added a field `size_offset` to table `spawn` - tinyint(3).

The Minor version is: 19

This is implemented and working. The only question I had about functionality is, if I have an NPC who has a size ranging from 35 to 39... would I set the `size` value to 37, and the `size_offset` to 2, so it would add/subtract 2 from 37 to get me my 35-39?

Is that how offsets work?

Thanks!

Yup, that is correct. A size of 37 and an offset of 2 would give you the range of 35-39.
