I know some data may be incorrect or not complete and I would love to correct it or even put in better examples. If you can help with this just send me the change in a PM, make sure you mark what it is for, and I'll fix it as soon as I get them PM.

I hope this helps a few people out.

for completeness, I recommend that you add a list of valid event subs and variables which can be used in each of them. Most of it should be documented here:
http://www.projecteq.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=149

as well as some of the newer functions which actually need explaining like proximity stuff. your also missing signal stuff and some others. Also I havent had a chance to update that tutorial for the new spawn condition stuff, but it exposes three new quest functions:
void spawn_condition(const char *zone_short, uint16 condition_id, short new_value);
short get_spawn_condition(const char *zone_short, uint16 condition_id);
void toggle_spawn_event(int event_id, bool enable, bool reset_base);

The only problem I see with this thread is every function has its own reply so its kind of hard to follow. Id be happy to sticky a link of the PDF however..
