Event System Overhaul

[madmax]

Source: https://github.com/mangoszero/server/issues/109

Currently the event system cannot have events that are scripted and lead into each other.

Such a system is needed for events such as the AQ war effort and expansion launch events.

I have discussed this with a few Mangos team members and this is something we would like to do at some stage.

Desired Outcome

Events can have scripted sub-events for events like the AQ war effort.

Events have requirements and cannot progress onto their sub-event until those requirements has been met.

Example

AQ war effort event would be fully scripted and blizzlike

This would include all collection quests and there requirements.

Now before everyone starts flaming me for this... food for thought here !!!

Would it worth attempting to port the TC scripting system to mangos. 90% of the scripting is db based.

- This would give us the a double bonus.

1) Finally dump the horrible SD2 library once and for all

2) Allow us to potentially share scripting between the two cores

Thoughts ?

I don't think that using the database to store scripts will be a good idea. Using Lua may be preferable, though harder and longer to implement.
