WORLD:Expansion Settings (overruled by default))

[GRUMPY]

This is just something I noticed that "might" help people who are having trouble getting custom expansion settings to work.

I am not sure about the peq database that Akka's installer downloads, but the one I got from daily dump (feb 22) has one
of the rules from ruletypes.h not in the rulevalues table by default World:UseClientBasedExpansionSettings
This, when set to true, overrides the World:Expansion Settings. In ruletypes.h it is set to true by default.
(I confirmed this today)

 RULE_BOOL(World, UseClientBasedExpansionSettings, true) // if true it will overrule World, ExpansionSettings and set someone's expansion based on the client they're using

For those who might not be aware, you may want to simply add this rule in your rulevalues table and set the value to false.
World:UseClientBasedExpansionSettings false

I love you! This problem was killing me for the longest time. No one could really help me solve this problem. Thank You sir!

Wow nice find. I will check my database from akka installer today and see if this is in it. Hopefully it will work for me but I highly doubt expansion settings work with titanium at all anyway.

It worked right away for me =D

Wow! If so Grumpy hit the jackpot!

[NostalgiaEQ]

I can confirm that in the latest Akka/PEQ database World:UseClientBasedExpansionSettings is not there. So it should be added.

Excellent find, this has been a problem plaguing the community forever!

Question: What is the difference between rule sets 1 and 10? (default and eqemu default)

[NostalgiaEQ]

I made sure in my variables table expansions was set to 0 and in rule_values table World:ExpansionSettings set to zero.

And.....


IT WORKS! With titanium!


edit: well at least 0 expansions works! I'll try to get others to work.

IT WORKS! Put in 1 in World:ExpansionSettings!

[Didymus]

It works!!!!!!

[Didymus]

Amazing !!!

Would be there a way to turn on or off stuff in the client?

Like guildmanager is not accessable with only kunark.
Any kinda work around on this or do you need to be a major haxxhaxxhaxxx.....

[NostalgiaEQ]

YES! Hallelujah! It works it all works even with Titanium! The variables table expansions doesn't matter just World:ExpansionSettings now. We are saved! THANKS GRUMPY!
