SplitByCategory() guesses herb/ore purely from keywords in the
display name (lotus/clover/thorn/bloom for herb, vein for ore) --
written for the original 5-entry Northrend default pool, never
updated for the ~70 entries the v2 zone-resources feature (PR #5)
introduced. Confirmed live in Hellfire Peninsula: none of its 4
resources (Felweed, Dreaming Glory, Fel Iron Deposit, Adamantite
Deposit) match any keyword, so both herb and ore buckets come back
empty and every zone silently falls back to the unsplit pool --
breaking the intended herb/ore alternation for the large majority of
the 57 configured zones.
Spec provides the full herb/ore classification for every entry ID
already verified against the live DB when the zone pool was built,
so this can be implemented as a static ID lookup instead of
continuing to patch an ever-fragile keyword list.
Extends the spec from 4 hardcoded hotspots to essentially every valid
open-world zone in WotLK 3.3.5a -- ~50 zones total.
Every zone name was validated against AzerothCore's own AreaTable.dbc
reference for 3.3.5a before being included. The original request list
contained several Cataclysm-only zones (Twilight Highlands, Abyssal
Depths, Shimmering Expanse, Kelp'thar Forest, Ruins of Gilneas, the
Northern/Southern Barrens split) that don't exist in this game
version -- those were dropped rather than guessed at. Two zones that
do exist (Plaguelands: The Scarlet Enclave, Mount Hyjal) were
deliberately excluded as impractical for a shared open-world event
(phased/instanced content, not open zones in 3.3.5a).
All ~70 resource entry IDs are individually verified against live
acore_world.gameobject_template, organized by the real Vanilla/TBC/
WotLK herbalism and mining tier progression -- not guessed from
memory. Confirmed, notably, that no 'Rich' ore variant exists for
Copper/Tin/Silver/Iron/Mithril in this database (only Thorium+ tiers
got them), matching actual game design rather than assuming symmetry
across ore tiers.
Same underlying code mechanism as v1 (GoldRushSite gains NodeEntries/
BonusEntries, SpawnHotspot prefers per-site pool with fallback to
global) -- this commit only expands the data, not the approach.
Makes node selection zone-aware instead of drawing from one global
pool for every hotspot. Includes real herb/ore entries verified
against the live acore_world database for all four configured
hotspots (Un'Goro Crater, Winterspring, Eastern Plaguelands, Sholazar
Basin), plus a rare 'bonus' tier per zone (Black Lotus for the three
Classic zones -- a real, accurate spawn-zone match, not an arbitrary
pick).
Extends the existing pipe-delimited ZonePool config format with two
optional segments rather than introducing a new config key, and
explicitly calls out backward compatibility for hotspots that don't
specify zone-specific resources.
