What exactly do you mean by way point? Creating the .path files for each zone or just creating pathing for individual mobs?

5. zone portals

Zone portals can literally be just about any object or door in any given zone. All you have to do is find the correct object or door in there respective tables in the database then add the destination coordinates, heading, target zone name(zone short name) and maybe click type.

6. Adding text to npc's.

You have to create scripts to add text to npc's. Here is an example of an npc responding to a hail.

RandomNPC.pl

sub EVENT_SAY {
    if($text=~/Hail/i) {
    quest::say("Hello, Welcome to my shop. If you bought an item that is part of my exchange program then let me know.");
    }
}

7. Teleport bot example.

#Array for all available zones to be sent to

How to assign scripts to npcs using the examples above. Your scripts name must match either the npc name or npc id number for which you want the script to work with. Using Translocator.pl or RandomNPC.pl from above would require you to make an npc with the name of Translocator or RandomNPC respectively.

In case you don't already know how to create scripts. Using RandomNPC.pl as an example....Open notepad then copy and paste everything inside the code block into the text document. Select save as then use RandomNPC.pl as the file name and set file type to all files. Save the file. Now place the newly created script into the appropriate zone folder in your quests directory. The zone folders use the short names of zones which can be found in the zone table of your database.
