Account entitlements
On stable, every character holds the seven base entitlements the client expects of a full account. Without them, the client treats the player as a trial account: the trade window and the marketplace won't open, and level and currency are capped.
Upstream: #590. On a stock game_rework server, every account looks like a trial account to the client.
| Missing entitlement | What the client does |
|---|---|
EconomyParticipation |
The trade window (trading.lua) and both marketplace windows refuse to open |
BaseCharacterProgressionCaps |
Caps the character at level 20 |
BaseCurrencyCaps |
Caps credits at 500,000 and renown at 5,000 |
The base set also includes GuildsAccess, FullSocialParticipation, CREDDUsage and InGameCSAccess.
Each row of the Entitlement game table carries flags. Bit 0x1 marks a character entitlement, as opposed to an account one. Bit 0x2 means hidden: the client leaves the entitlement out of its UI, but still stores it and counts it.
Upstream's server reads bit 0x2 as disabled. Every one of the seven base entitlements carries it, so the server refused to grant any of them, the GM command included, and zeroed any reward property that reads one.
So every account looked like a trial for two reasons at once: nothing granted the base set by default, and the misread bit blocked the one way to add it by hand.
EntitlementFlags.Disabled is renamed Hidden, and both checks that refused it are gone.
When a character loads, the server adds any of these it doesn't already hold, each with a value of 1, and saves them with the character as new rows:
| Entitlement | Id |
|---|---|
BaseCharacterProgressionCaps |
10 |
BaseCurrencyCaps |
14 |
EconomyParticipation |
15 |
GuildsAccess |
16 |
FullSocialParticipation |
17 |
CREDDUsage |
18 |
InGameCSAccess |
19 |
Note
Saving them needed one more fix on the way. A new character entitlement used to be saved as an update to a row that didn't exist, which failed the first time anything granted one. New ones are inserted now.
On a local server, with both test accounts' entitlements cleared first:
- Both characters were given the seven entitlements when they logged in, and the rows saved cleanly.
- The trade window now gets past the client's check, and the client sends
ClientP2PTradingInitiateTrade. The server doesn't handle trading yet, so that's as far as a trade goes for now; Trading design is the work in progress.
Not watched yet: a character levelling past 20 with the cap lifted.
