Maxlevel Problem

[RCPD0715]

I have my Character: maxlevel set at 75 but people on my server can only level to 65...I have searched this in the forums, but cannot find a defenitive answer to this problem...please help thanks

After you set it to 75, did you restart you server? Also, is it in your table as Character:MaxLevel?

You have to set the first field on the left to "1" instead of "0" which is the default setting. If you don't change that field, it doesn't apply that rule. You will see any rules set to "1" load as your server starts up when you run world.exe.

So you have to set the Ruleset_ID on the Rule_values table? doesn't that just link the active rule set (not individual rules) in the Rule_sets table?

Yeah, the ruleset_id column in both rule_sets and rule_values have to match. Meaning, if you have a default ruleset_id 0, then all of the rules need to have a ruleset_id of 0 you want associated with it. It isn't a bool value, it's an id. If you have a rule with ruleset_id 2, then any rules you want associated with that has to have a ruleset_id of 2. It isn't often used, but in this way you can define several rulesets which can be changed in-game. So you could have one rulset where your max level is 65, and another where it is 70. You can then swap them in-game without needing to reboot.

The big issue causing a lot of confusion is the ids in rule_set is set to auto-increment. I never realized this until I finished the installer, however it makes sense. So, that means when the data is loaded with the table schema, if will automatically gives the rules id 1, because MySQL won't give an entry an ID of 0. Now, if you source in the data without the table schema (so the table is already created) you can then give the rules an ID of 0. I corrected this in the installer, and will be updating PEQ's CVS to also account for this.

Yeah, thats what I thought, and was confused by Trevious' post.

Thanks for the clarification...

So I'm assuming that if you have multiple rule sets, you can change them on the fly in the server...

If the same rule is part of multiple sets, how do you define the Ruleset_ID in the Rule_values table?
