Pretty much exactly what we are doing
Though, the thing that interests me is the night spawns are built right into the spawn table. I wonder if we could do away with the spawn_conditions system for that purpose and do something similar.
Something like, each NPC in the spawngroup can be paired with a night time NPC. When that group is spawned, the server checks the time, and if the NPC is paired, spawns the appropriate NPC. Obviously non-paired NPCs would spawn all the time. Of course, this system would require NPCs to despawn and spawn by themselves without being killed, and as much as I would love that functionality, I would assume it would drain system resources like crazy.
