New Server, Couple of Small Issues

[haggzor]

2.) Does the Expansions value in Variables work? How about the (1, World:ExpansionSettings) value in Rules_Values? Do they differ? I set both to 7 (Classic (0), Kunark (1), Velious (2) and Luclin(4)). I would really like to limit as many server / map (ie PoK tomes) and client features (Map display) as possible. Does anyone know if these are implemented yet? Do they just restrict access to zones, or is it more than that?

I found an article on this, however it dates back to June. Is this still the best way to accomplish this? It would seem they are suggesting that rather than relying on a setting like the Expansions value in Variables work and the World:ExpansionSettings value in Rules_Values, you should just lock people out of those individual zones using status.

Is that still the best way?

Thanks!

EDIT:

Also found http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/sho...ghlight=remove which speaks to removing PoK book functionality. Nice!

Yes, this info is here:

http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...erverVariables

Expansions
Default: 511

Accessible expansions for all players.

0 - Classic
1 - Ruins of Kunark
2 - Scars of Velious
4 - Shadows of Luclin
8 - Planes of Power
16 - Legacy of Ykesha
32 - Lost Dungeons of Norrath
64 - Gates of Discord
128 - Omens of War
256 - Dragons of Norrath
512 - Depths of Darkhallow
1024 - Prophecy of Ro
2048 - Serpent's Spine
4096 - The Burried Sea
8192 - Secrets of Faydwer

To really put a block on it, using the status column can be most effective because it simply requires that status number to traverse.

Great! Thanks! I'll do both, then. I currently have both set to 7 (Classic (0), Kunark (1), Velious (2) and Luclin(4)), so now I'll just manually status block out all of the zones that are associated with later expansions. This should be relatively easy on account of the fact that they use a different rule_set ID for PoP+.
