Any importance of this?

Server name and ip address of server seems to be little good for some scripts, but that can't be a reason to implement on repo, well, I just support for servername and ip

Thank you for your response.

 

One purpose is able to support multi-server. Instead of disabling npcs at conf file, you can have a seperate txt file with disablenpc functions. Some npc or function text files have more than 1 npc, thus disabling a file will disable everything

 

In conclusion, this can be a  convenient method of manipulating npcs.
