yeah..i was thinking of a list, similar to rlist or vwear..you just type
in the mob name, and it generates a list of rooms where the mob is
supposed to be loaded and maybe a percentage...this would be fairly
simple to do by just running through all of the zone files, find all M
commands, and if the mob number is equal to that of the target mob, then
use that room to throw some info at the char...

um..yeah, that's why my admin wants to know all of this stuff..to make
sure the builders aren't doing anything improper...he wants the zone
loading info to make sure that the mob isn't loading anywhere that it
shouldn't be...ie. the builder knows the load command is logged, so he
just zedits and area to load an exp mob for some mortal buddies, then
resets the zone...i agree that it is somewhat pointless info as far as
monitoring immortals, cause they can always just put it back to the way
it was, but it might also be useful for finding where you have to go to
fix zone errors..like, attempting to give mob non existant eq..

i mostly agree...so i have all loading, and giving of mobs and eq
logged..with a stern warning that builders shouldn't do all of those
improper things..but at the same time, a builder is able to just create
a new obj, and rather than load it and give it himself, just modify the
zone info to load the obj on the ground, and reset the zone..shrug...
none of this has happened, but my paranoid admin tends to think that
everyone will find a way to do something wrong...
later
