Nub Question : Rulesets

[Figback65]

I have noticed there are multiple tables with ruleset variables. Theres the ones in rulesets and rulevalues. I understand setting the ruleset and the rulevalues that i want loaded into the designated ruleset value. Which is normally default to 1.

I have also noticed ruleset in other tables like Zones, which are default to 0.

Do all ruleset values in all tables need to be all set to the same value? Example, All set to 1?

Thank you.

A rule set is just that- a group of rules you can apply to a zone. Essentially it is used to override the defaults that are set in the EqEmu code.

So, you could have "ruleset 1" which is your default rule set for your server. For a zone that has rule_set =1, every rules_values entry that has a rule_set of 1 applies to that zone.

Now, say you want a different zone to have slightly different rules for whatever reason (raid zone maybe)- you could create a 2nd ruleset - "ruleset 2" with different values in rules_values. Then you could set that zone to have a Rule_set of 2 and that would use those settings instead of ruleset 1.

So if i understand correctly, i can leave it 0 on zone ruleset and it will load my default ruleset of 1, correct?

Not quite- if you want it to use your ruleset whose number is 1, change it to 1 for your zone(s).

If you want your zone(s) to use ruleset 2, set the number to 2.

Ruleset 0 is a special case:-

0 is the default ruleset that is defined in the EqEmu source code (so you don't have it in your database). The default values are in this table:-

The default values are usually pretty sensible and close EQ live/PEQ as a standard.
