Auto Broadcast

[fredi]

Hi!

I found this patch at the old forum and it's very nice, so I made some changes and I pushed it in a branch so you can pull it if you want. The patch is very useful to auto broadcast messages in an interval of time, like server announcements, etc.

To install you can use an existing branch in your local repo or just create one:

git checkout -b autobroadcast

Then pull my remote branch there:

git pull git://github.com/fredi/mangos.git autobroadcast

Import the sql required:

sql/updates/autobroadcast/autobroadcast.sql

That's it! Now you can compile or merge with your branch, etc...

GIT PATCH on pastebin: http://pastebin.ca/1235358

The original code of the patch isn't mine, so I would like to thank the creator.

abcenter = sConfig.GetIntDefault("AutoBroadcast.Center", 0);

Why not just set this up in that SQL table?

And it would be even better to have it with delays as well.

Last but not least, can it be cached instead?
