Colossal Diamonds RevPrem - GEDD- V2 - 5. Emulation

Emulation V2 format

Gaffing and emulation are both done through the /wiki/spaces/FT/pages/15808167956 system.  If this is new please refer to that documentation first.  The standard info in here will be used for things like forcing reel stops, picks, etc.

Weighted table

All other non-standard functionality goes through the weighted table's.  Emulating the weighted tables is done by using the table name as the 'Keyword' in the emulation file (it is case sensitive) then by forcing the index of the weighted table to use.

Where do I find the weighted table name(s)?

This can be found in several places:

1. In the paytable files, if one of the weighted table xml files is opened the table name will be defined in the tag:
   <WeightedTables Name="XXXXX" .../>
   Note: this is the safest place to check and will always be defined.
2. The paytable files that have the weighted tables in it all start with "WeightedTable_", then followed by the table name.
   Example: "WeightedTable_CRL_Prizes.xml"  The weighted table contained within this file is called CRL_Prizes
3. The GEDD should have sections where the 'game mechanic flow' for a given state is defined.  The weighted table name should be defined in this flow chart for each of the mechanics.
   Example:
   

Some times the table name will not be defined and will be passed in.  For example:

Here we see the table comes from CR_Replacement_Base.  If we were to look at this file:

  <WeightedTables Name="CR_Replacement_Base" Type="string">
    <WeightedTable>
      <Entry weight="10" value="CRL_Trigger_Prizes"/>
      <Entry weight="990" value="CRL_Prizes"/>
    </WeightedTable>

We see that the 'value' is the table name.  So if the CR_Replacement_Base selects "CRL_Trigger_Prizes" then we would have to force this table, but if it selects "CRL_Prizes" then we would have to force that table.

How do I know what states what tables are used in?

Some times weighted tables are executed in a spin state, or an award state, or a different state.  The best way to know what states execute what tables is to refer to the GEDD.  This document should have all the necessary information to determine:

• What tables are executed in which state
• What order those tables are executed in
• The name's of the given tables being executed and a brief description of what it does.

I have my table name how exactly do I force an outcome?

With the table name as the keyword the resulting outcome forced will be in terms of the index of a given entry.  The index's are 0 based and are in order in which they appear in the xml file.

Example: We have a weighted table that will determine if we use 'Low', 'Medium' or 'High':

  <WeightedTables Name="CR_LMH" Type="string">
    <WeightedTable>
      <Entry weight="57000" value="Low"/>
      <Entry weight="34000" value="Medium"/>
      <Entry weight="9000" value="High"/>
    </WeightedTable>
  </WeightedTables>

The index for Low, Medium and High are 0, 1, and 2 respectively.  So if we wanted to force the outcome to use the High table we would force:

CR_LMH: 2

Game specific emulation

If there are any game specific emulation things outside of the standard items or weighted tables it should go here.

Testers, if you see this it means there is no game specific emulation.
