From 7c192f98a5a0656fa715672858d466017b2929cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Troll (Hermes Agent)" Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 14:17:44 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] feat: zone-specific resource pools across 57 zones (v2 spec) - GoldRushSite gains NodeEntries and BonusEntries vectors. - GoldRush.ZonePool now uses the 2-segment v2 format: ZoneName|NodeEntries|BonusEntries. - AreaLabel segment removed; all zone names resolve directly via AreaTable.dbc. - Per-node bonus chance controlled by GoldRush.BonusChancePercent (default 15). - Backward compatibility: zones without entries fall back to global NodeEntries. - conf/gold_rush.conf.dist updated with full 57-zone pool and BonusChancePercent. - CHANGELOG.md updated.

Since there is almost always an eligible player online, this is the common path in practice -- but BuildSiteFromAnchor only reads the player's live zone/area IDs from the world state; it has no access to the NodeEntries/ BonusEntries that BuildSites() parsed from GoldRush.ZonePool into _sites. Every player-anchored event therefore got an empty NodeEntries/BonusEntries regardless of ZonePool configuration, and SpawnHotspot()'s (correct, intentional) fallback-to-global-pool logic silently kicked in every time. This is why testing in Un'Goro Crater after the v2 zone-resources feature shipped still produced Titanium Vein and Northrend herbs -- the module correctly identified the player's zone as Un'Goro (ZoneId/ZoneLabel were right), it just never looked up Un'Goro's configured resource pool to attach it to that site. Fix: after building the site from the player's live position, look up a matching entry in _sites by ZoneId and inherit its NodeEntries/ BonusEntries. A zone that's an eligible anchor but has no configured entry in _sites still correctly falls through to the global pool -- that fallback path was never the problem, only the missing lookup for zones that ARE configured. --- src/GoldRush.cpp | 24 +++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/GoldRush.cpp b/src/GoldRush.cpp index 782c530..9e7e873 100644 --- a/src/GoldRush.cpp +++ b/src/GoldRush.cpp @@ -487,7 +487,29 @@ private: if (!IsEligibleAnchor(player)) return {}; - return BuildSiteFromAnchor(player); + GoldRushSite site = BuildSiteFromAnchor(player); + + // BuildSiteFromAnchor only knows the player's live zone/area IDs -- it has + // no access to the per-zone NodeEntries/BonusEntries parsed from + // GoldRush.ZonePool into _sites.

From 5ffac92934a7bcf6f9d8766871d1e99e495f803f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Troll (Hermes Agent)" Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 02:15:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 7/7] fix: zone pool parser truncated every zone to its first entry GoldRush.ZonePool separates zones with '; ' (semicolon + space) but the node/bonus entry IDs within a zone with a bare ';'. BuildSites() split on the bare ';', so each zone's entry list was cut down to its first ID -- which is always a herb. That is why events spawned a single wrong-zone herb and no ore at all (PR #8). Split on the two-character '; ' zone delimiter instead, so every zone keeps its full node and bonus pools. --- CHANGELOG.md | 7 +++++++ src/GoldRush.cpp | 29 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 35 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 7421500..f86e6bd 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -17,6 +17,13 @@ All notable changes to `mod-gold-rush` will be documented in this file. global `GoldRush.NodeEntries` pool exactly as before. ### Fixed +- Zone pool parsing no longer truncates every zone to its first resource entry. + `GoldRush.ZonePool` separates zones with `"; "` (semicolon + space) but the + node/bonus entry IDs within a zone with a bare `";"`. `BuildSites()` split on + the bare `";"`, so each zone's entry list was cut down to its first ID — which + is always a herb.
