Updated the DB with the Maker data featured on the WZ.
Added a new table for the strenghtening reagents gain data (compiled with the MapleSkillMakerReagentIndexer).
Fixed quests that improves the Maker skill level and some other Maker-related quests.
Implemented GMS-like "item spraying" from reactors. All boxes holding more than 5 drops have been changed to use this behavior.
Added information for players trying to start/complete quests having the required item equipped. It is expected to have all required items unequipped before handling a quest operation.
New check-purpose tool: MapleMapInfoRetriever. It's sole function is to detect and report map XMLs that has no "info" node in between the server files.
Fixed quest timer UI not disappearing on the client on quest complete.
Fixed a bug on ThreadTracker, not displaying properly the last acquired lock-type.
Fixed MapleArrowFetcher giving out same values from min and max ranges. Max should always be greater than min. Updated DB drops.
Readjusted player ids now starting from 1 again, and moved field oids to start counting from 1bil.
Engineered the ThreadTracker: server-embedded deadlock auditing tool, which will print error messages in case of found deadlocks (also showing all in-use locks on the time of the issue).
Changed the player's id on DB now starting from 20mil, thus preventing players from overwriting NPC/mobs with same oid in-game. Requires proper testing to see if the issue has been cleared.
Aran skill and mount questlines fixed.
Player ID starts counting from 20mil now, preventing clashes with map objects oid's (trying to solve the NPC disappearing issue).
New tool: MapleSkillMakerFetcher. It compiles a SQL script file containing updated Maker data info from the inputted ItemMake.wz.xml.
Updated Maker tables on the DB.
