Unknown source_id in database

Hi, I'm working with the db.json file and I've noticed two source_id entries that have no value. These entries are supposed to correlate to the NPC monster that killed the player, for instance id 30 is the monster "Forest Spider". However, there is a "-1" and a "-2" value that have no corresponding monster.

-1 is shown to have killed over 750 players, and -2 has only one kill.

Is this a known feature of WoW databases? Or is something going wrong in data collection?

Also do you have plans on releasing an updated database? I'd be very interested in working with it. Thank you

Thank you, I'm working on something cool, I'll send it to you via discord when it's ready. Cheers

heyo, I can release that now!

-1, is a general "not found" id. I think most of those cases come from DC deaths, but there are also probably some that couldn't be found from a manually created table of npcs that we use. -2 is drowning, -3 is falling, -4 is fatigue, -5 is fire, -6 is lava, and -7 is slime environment damage

db2.json has the new data. It might be a slightly different format, but it does have 3-4 times the number entries
