I just wanted to point out that those two aren't necessary. With instances, KLS has added a "version" column to spawn2 (and I've added it to npc_types, so I can keep track of which zone version the NPC is in.) That column allows us to have multiple versions of the same zone for instances. The basic point is, if you specify version 5 in the adventure template or instance quest functions, then only NPCs with a version 5 spawnpoint will spawn. So on your end, all you would need to do while copying is have an option to specify which version you want the copy to be. That would fill in version in both spawn2 and npc_types. Setting it to the same version as the source would be a 1:1 copy basically, for those wanting to copying spawns to other zones (which would be a cool thing to do I think as well) From there, the user could specify how they want the levels/stats/etc to adjust for the copy.
