Database Architecture

🏆 _SurvivalEventRewardSettings Table

Purpose: Configure rewards for each rank placement

  • ID: INT IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY - Unique setting identifier
  • Rank: INT NOT NULL - Placement rank (1 = Winner, 2 = 2nd place, etc.)
  • Silk: VARCHAR(20) - Silk type: 'silk' (Own), 'silkgift' (Gift), 'silkpoint' (Premium)
  • SilkAmount: INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 - Quantity of Silk reward

  • ItemID: VARCHAR(128) - Item CodeName for item rewards
  • ItemQuantity: INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 - Quantity of item reward
  • Description: VARCHAR(100) - Optional description (e.g., "Rank 1 - Champion")

Example: Rank 1 = 1000 Silk + 500M Gold + 10 Arena Coins, Rank 2 = 500 Silk + 250M Gold + 5 Arena Coins

📦 SurvivalEvent_PlayerChest Table

Purpose: Store unclaimed rewards separately from main player chest

Understanding Ranks

  • Initial Rank: When event starts with 30 players, everyone is Rank 30
  • Rank Improvement: Each elimination moves you up (30 players → 29 → 28 → etc.)
  • Example: If 10 players die, remaining 20 players are now Rank 20
  • Final Winner: Last survivor achieves Rank 1 (Champion)
  • Fair System: Your final rank = number of survivors when you're eliminated
  • Better Rewards: Higher ranks (lower numbers) receive better rewards

Winning Strategies

  • Survival First: Focus on staying alive rather than getting kills
  • Avoid Early Fights: Let other players eliminate each other first
  • Use Terrain: Position yourself strategically in the arena
  • Manage Resources: Use potions wisely - you need to last the full duration
  • Pick Your Battles: Attack weakened players for easy eliminations
  • Final Showdown: Save your best skills for the last 2-3 survivors
  • Time Limit Awareness: After 15 minutes, highest rank survivors win

Practical Example: Top 3 Reward Configuration

Scenario: Rewarding Top 3 Finishers

Tips & Best Practices

⚙️ For Server Administrators

  • Player Count Balance: 15-30 players is ideal - too few is boring, too many is chaotic
  • Time Settings: 15-minute playing duration works well for most events
  • Registration Window: 1-2 minutes gives players time to prepare and register
  • Block Zerk: Always enable BlockZerk for fair PVP combat
  • Level Requirements: Set appropriate level (60-100) to ensure competitive balance
  • Reward Scaling: Create rewards for at least top 10 ranks, consolation prizes for others
  • Arena Location: Choose open, flat areas without obstacles or NPCs
  • Multiple Schedules: Run events 2-3 times daily at different times for global players

✅ Reward Configuration Best Practices

  • Graduated Scaling: Rank 1 should be 2-4x better than Rank 2, Rank 2 better than Rank 3
  • Mix Rewards: Combine Silk, Gold, and Items for attractive packages
  • Participation Rewards: Give small rewards even to last place (Rank 30) for participation
  • Top 3 Focus: Concentrate best rewards on top 3 ranks to incentivize winning
  • Silk Types: Use Own Silk for instant use, Gift Silk for trading flexibility
  • Item Choices: Arena Coins, Speed Pills, Attack Scrolls are popular rewards
  • Test First: Run test events with small rewards to verify configuration

⚠️ Important Notes

  • Coordinates Validation: Test arena coordinates manually before scheduling events
  • RegionId Accuracy: Wrong RegionId causes teleport failures for all players
  • Minimum Players: Set MinPlayers realistically (2-5) to ensure events actually start
  • Item CodeNames: Verify item CodeNames exist in your Media files before configuration
  • Database Cleanup: SurvivalEvent_PlayerChest grows over time - consider periodic cleanup
  • Chest Separation: Event chest is separate from main chest - players must claim rewards separately
  • Zerk Impact: Not blocking Zerk can create unfair advantage for certain classes
  • Event Overlap: Don't schedule overlapping events - maintain 30-minute gaps
