Its an either-or type deal for CPU sake. Just getting the grid for a goblin whelp in BB takes 20+ seconds, so doing every pathing grid on a display would take minutes / tens of minutes. If you do not pull down a mob, it shows where the mobs spawn. If you choose a mob, it will show where all mobs of that type path.

Make sense? Kinda confusing, I know :/

also only zones that have pathing show any mobs in them
Which one? I dont think this is possible, since when viewing the map w/o a npc_type pathing choice, it pulls the data from spawn2. Only when choosing a mob does it look at the grid / grid_entries tables.
