Future of rule sets/variables
 

This is probably on track for their future purpose anyway, but there seems to be a lot of crossover with rule sets and the current variables - would it be possible to combine a lot of their use?

There are a lot in rules that are global, and some that are applicable per zone, for example, GM:MinStatusToZoneAnywhere, Guild:MaxMembers seem global rules; whereas Character:Leavecorpses, and all experience types (some currently in variables) are variable rules, and can be set by zone.

If it sounds a lot like hot-zoning...well, that is one use, but I was thinking more of quest instances.

You'd then need the zone entry to reference a rule set... I don't see that code (yet) but from the source, it looks like it is coming.

Sorry if anyone feels like I've been reading your notebook ;)

What would be interesting is IF rules could be moved to the database, with some given the ability to be set by zone (if it makes sense).

Rules are in the database, silly man. :)

I know there's tons of stuff still hard coded... so I think I know what you really mean.

Yes, I meant outlaw hardcoding :)

Sorry I wasn't more clear.
