Expansion variable and AAs

[Digitala]

Any information on this would be really helpful.
Thx

The expansion setting in the Variables table uses a bit mask to let you pick and chose which expansions you want. Here is the wiki note on what to set for it:

Just add up the expansions and put the total in the variables table for the expansion setting.

As for disabling certain AAs for certain expansions, I am unaware of any current support for that. I don't think we have them all labeled out properly by expansion yet anyway. If they were all sorted properly per expansion and set in the table, it probably wouldn't be too hard to add support for only sending AAs that match the expansion setting of the server. For now though, you are best off just deleting the AAs you don't want them to have from your altadv_vars table.

Thanks for the reply, Trevius. I might have been abit unclear, I know how to use the expansion variable but I can't find where in the source code it is being used. I'm guessing it sends some kind of packet to the client to tell it to enable which expansions but I'm not quite sure where to look.

What I wish to do is to make AAs available in earlier expansion than Luclin. I want to be able to set the expansion variable to only enable say classic and kunark for the server but still give the players the abilites to use AAs.

Would that be possible by changing the source? And if anyone has any idea where to look I would really appreciate a hint, C++ ain't my primary language but I am keen to learn.
