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.

# Zone-specific resource nodes — implementation spec (v2: full zone coverage)
|
|
|
|
**This supersedes the original 4-zone version of this spec.** Same
|
|
underlying mechanism (see section 3, unchanged), but `GoldRush.ZonePool`
|
|
now covers essentially every valid open-world zone in the game instead of
|
|
just four, each with resources appropriate to that zone. Any hotspot not
|
|
explicitly listed here falls back to the existing global `NodeEntries`
|
|
pool, exactly as before.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 0. Zone list validation — do this before using this spec, not after
|
|
|
|
The starting zone list for this spec came from a hand-written file that
|
|
included several zones that **do not exist in WotLK 3.3.5a** — Cataclysm
|
|
additions/renames (Twilight Highlands, Abyssal Depths, Shimmering Expanse,
|
|
Kelp'thar Forest, Ruins of Gilneas, the Northern/Southern Barrens split,
|
|
"Northern Stranglethorn" as a standalone zone, Uldum as a full zone rather
|
|
than a Tanaris subzone, "Ahn'Qiraj: The Fallen Kingdom" which doesn't match
|
|
any real zone name).
|
|
|
|
**Every zone name below was cross-checked against AzerothCore's own
|
|
published `AreaTable.dbc` reference for version 3.3.5a**
|
|
(https://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/areatable) — not memory, not assumption.
|
|
If this spec is ever extended with more zones later, verify the same way
|
|
before adding them; guessing zone names that don't exist in this exact
|
|
game version has already cost real time once in this project.
|
|
|
|
**Two zones were confirmed real but deliberately excluded** as impractical
|
|
for a shared open-world event:
|
|
- **Plaguelands: The Scarlet Enclave** — real, but phased, instanced, and
|
|
faction-separated (the Death Knight starting experience). An event here
|
|
would be invisible to almost every player.
|
|
- **Mount Hyjal** — raid-instance content in 3.3.5a, not an open leveling
|
|
zone (it didn't become open world until Cataclysm).
|
|
|
|
**Hrothgar's Landing** is real and included, but flagged as niche — it's a
|
|
small island gated behind Argent Tournament rank progression, so events
|
|
there will reach a much smaller audience than the rest of the list.

One line per zone, `;`-separated, using the format

`ZoneName|NodeEntries|BonusEntries` (no `AreaLabel` segment — using bare

zone names only, since these came verbatim from the AreaTable.dbc dump and

## 3. Code mechanism (unchanged from v1 — already specced, just restating for completeness)
|
|
|
|
- `GoldRushSite` struct (`GoldRush.cpp:44`) needs `std::vector<uint32>
|
|
NodeEntries` and `std::vector<uint32> BonusEntries`, defaulting empty.
|
|
- `BuildSites()` (`GoldRush.cpp:479`) parses the 2nd and 3rd
|
|
`|`-delimited segments (in this all-zone-name version, `NodeEntries` is
|
|
segment 2 and `BonusEntries` is segment 3, since no `AreaLabel` segment
|
|
is used here — adjust the parser accordingly, or use an empty middle
|
|
segment as a placeholder if keeping the original 4-segment
|
|
`Zone|Area|NodeEntries|BonusEntries` format is preferred for consistency
|
|
with a future entry that does want an area label. Pick whichever's
|
|
cleaner; document the choice in code comments either way, since the two
|
|
format variants look easy to confuse later.
|
|
- `SpawnHotspot()` (`GoldRush.cpp:919`) uses `_currentSite.NodeEntries`
|
|
when non-empty, falling back to global `_nodeEntries` otherwise.
|
|
- Bonus mixing: small per-node chance (`GoldRush.BonusChancePercent`,
|
|
~10-15%) to pull from `_currentSite.BonusEntries` instead of the normal
|
|
pool for that one node.
|
|
- **Backward compatibility required**: a hotspot with no node/bonus
|
|
segments must still fall back to the global pool.
|
|
|
|
## 4. Testing
|
|
|
|
Given the scale (50+ zones instead of 4), don't try to manually
|
|
`.goldrush teststart` every single one before shipping. Reasonable
|
|
approach:
|
|
- Spot-check one zone per tier (a starting zone, a mid-level zone, a
|
|
high-level Classic zone, one Outland zone, one Northrend zone) to
|
|
confirm the parsing and per-zone resource selection actually works.
|
|
- Confirm the fallback path still works for a hotspot deliberately left
|
|
without node/bonus data.
|
|
- Trust the DB-verified entry IDs for the rest rather than clicking
|
|
through all fifty — the risk at this point is a config-parsing bug
|
|
(same for every zone), not a wrong item ID (individually verified above).
