[DiscordArchive] though if it's just 300 soldiers, couldn't you just random them around across the 32 bits you alread

I realistically see a thousand or so across all of EK and Kali
I remember seeing something about using JSon formats to store arrays in mysql so I wouldn't have to store too many of the same GUIDs for a variety of keys, I wonder if that's more efficient than using bitfields purely in the database.

that's the same consideration as doing it in memory, it's only worthwhile if you only expect your players to use a very small minority of the resources. If they use a majority of them, key/value stores is just more memory

the characters row itself is about 300 bytes to memory, but a single character takes up far more memory in practice, a few kb at least because of all the other fluff. Meanwhile, 1000 bits in a blob is 30 bytes

Thinking back on it, I can reduce it to an std::map for players, and a single uint for non-players (gobjects, creatures) and just put them in the same phase if the players map[gobject template id] isn't false.
Actually two maps might be smarter, one for things which are revealed by default and one for things that are not revealed by default. I lose a lot of hypothetical functionality and make the scripts more linear but I can make due without it design wise.

you don't need to replace the visibility system itself with your map extension, just extend it instead

if you use key/value lookups for all visibility updates, you'll seriously degrade server performance
