Merge branch 'bug-hunting'

The trigger system has been fully implemented, as well as a few other
tweaks as the occasional thought came to mind.

Multiple rooms are now fully functional, mostly as a way to test the
triggers. Although there are still no real generation algorithms, a
utility for creating door pairs between given rooms is included in the
scripts directory.

Other changes in this merge include:

* Network updates via lua
* Entity types can be determined in lua
* Database columns are now order independant

It should be noted that only two types of userdata will work as far as
entity names are concerned: Characters and Monsters. I tried getting it to
work for all objects passed to lua, but it proved to be too obtuse.

In theory, I could create a teleport puzzle using what I've written here.
That might be a side project, or a way to test saving & loading systems. I
don't see any reason to delay monsters any longer; hopefully, I can get
them going soon too.

+Tortuga is a 2D MMORPG featuring permadeath, with an emphasis on multiplayer cooperation, exploration and customization. The game runs on customizable public and private servers.
 
 This game is inspired by classic 2D RPGs (Final Fantasy, The Legend of Zelda), as well as more modern sandboxes amd MMOs (Minecraft, EVE Online). This project is currently independently created and funded, with the goal of creating a game that will engage the players and inspire a large community.

+This is the README for Tortuga's demo build. The source code is available at:
+
+   https://github.com/Ratstail91/Tortuga
+
+The current build may have bugs, missing features, bugs masquerading as
+features, etc. You can report a bug/feature here:

+
+Please note that this game requires a functioning server to operate correctly.
+Both a game server and game client are included in this package.
+
+-------------------------
+Instructions For Setup
+-------------------------
+
+1. To create a server, simply run server.exe
+	(a public server is provided by default)
+2. To join a server, your player information must be input into rsc/config.cfg
+	(NOTE: This process will be streamlined later)
+3. To change the config settings, open rsc/config.cfg
+4. These settings must be unique for each player:
+
+* client.username
+* client.handle
+
+5. There are currently two options for 'client.avatar':
+
+* client.avatar = elliot2.bmp #male
+* client.avatar = coa2.bmp    #female
+
+6. When you've correctly set these values, run client.exe, and select 'Start'
+	from the main menu; this displays the list of available servers.
+7. Select the name of a server (default is 'Public') and select 'Join'.
+8. Welcome to Tortuga, enjoy your stay.
