- - Ruleset (https://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=37475)

I was curious on something in the rules_values table. You have different ruleset_id that are keyed to the rule_sets table. How do you switch to a different rule_set ? Which one is used and how can you tell? I did some searching and saw this was implemented many years ago but there does not appear to be many threads on it.

The Ruleset column exists in the zone table. no idea if it is used, would have to look at the code.

It works! I found out the hard way with random zones being on different rule sets and making me losing items when I died :)

Its very nice to have multiple rule sets because pathing works differently in certain zones and you need different rules to keep the mobs from jumping like Jordan.

Must not be for every rule though, like 'Bots:CreateBotCount' it appears to be on ruleset_id=1. Or maybe if no higher rule exists it goes to the lowest integer?

If the rule doesnt exist in the database for that ruleset I am pretty sure it uses the rules in the source. (dont quote me on that! But I think it works that way lol)

Check out common\ruletypes.h

Code:

#ifdef BOTS

RULE_CATEGORY ( Bots )

RULE_REAL ( Bots, BotManaRegen, 2.0 ) // Adjust mana regen for bots, 1 is fast and higher numbers slow it down 3 is about the same as players.

RULE_BOOL ( Bots, BotFinishBuffing, false ) // Allow for buffs to complete even if the bot caster is out of mana.  Only affects buffing out of combat.

RULE_INT ( Bots, CreateBotCount, 150 ) // Number of bots that each account can create

RULE_INT ( Bots, SpawnBotCount, 71 ) // Number of bots a character can have spawned at one time, You + 71 bots is a 12 group raid

RULE_BOOL ( Bots, BotQuest, false ) // Optional quest method to manage bot spawn limits using the quest_globals name bot_spawn_limit, see: /bazaar/Aediles_Thrall.pl

RULE_BOOL ( Bots, BotGroupBuffing, false ) // Bots will cast single target buffs as group buffs, default is false for single. Does not make single target buffs work for MGB.

RULE_BOOL ( Bots, BotSpellQuest, false ) // Anita Thrall's (Anita_Thrall.pl) Bot Spell Scriber quests.

RULE_INT ( Bots, BotAAExpansion, 8 ) // Bots get AAs through this expansion

RULE_CATEGORY_END()

#endif

I quoted you anyway. Yes that is the way it works.
