TL;DR + +Retail's DayGroup picker is a **simple integer LCG mixed with `(YEAR, DAY_OF_YEAR)` from the live `TimeOfDay` struct**, scaled by `DayGroupCount`. It is **not** a weighted walk over `ChanceOfOccur` — it's uniform over all DayGroups. Dereth's 20 DayGroups all carry `ChanceOfOccur = 5.0f` anyway, so uniform matches the intent. The algorithm lives in `FUN_00501990` (previously mis-labeled "deterministic PES roll" in the sky-verbatim doc; it is actually **SkyDesc::PickCurrentDayGroup**). + +--- + +## 1.

No cumulative sum. No compare-and-walk. The decompile is straight-line: one integer mix, one divide-by-range, one clamp. The `ChanceOfOccur` field on each DayGroup is read during `FUN_005025c0` (DayGroup unpack) and stored but **never consulted by the picker**. Retail data happens to make all 20 DayGroups equiprobable (5.0 each, summing to 100.0), so uniform selection produces the same statistical distribution as a weighted walk would have. **If the user's Dereth server data differs, retail-observed weather will NOT match a weighted simulator — it will match this uniform picker over whatever DayGroupCount the dat contains.** + +### 2.4 `_DAT_007c6f10` sanity check + +The decompile always uses `_DAT_007c6f10` in the pattern `int-cast-to-float × count × _DAT_007c6f10 → floor → ftol`. Two examples confirm it is `1.0/2^32`: + +- `chunk_00500000.c:1305` (this function): dayCount × hash × `_DAT_007c6f10` → floor → index in [0, dayCount). +- `chunk_00500000.c:4042` (`FUN_00504060`, physics-script variant roll): variantCount × hash × `_DAT_007c6f10` → index in [0, variantCount). + +For the clamp at line 1308 (`if (count <= index) index = 0;`) to be a **safety net only** rather than the common path, the scale must strictly map `[0, 2^32)` to `[0, 1.0)` — i.e., `1.0/2^32`. Values `>= count` only ever occur from floating-point rounding at very high hash values. This is a textbook uniform-int-from-LCG idiom. + +--- + +## 3.

(If both sides of the multiplication were small — Year in [0, ~200], DayOfYear in [0, 365] — and `SecondsPerDay` were 1, the seed range would be tiny. Using the full `SecondsPerDay` integer makes the seed uniform over a ~31-bit range before the LCG step.) + +Retail Dereth values (from dat — confirm when we next parse a Region): `SecondsPerDay = 1800` (30 real-minutes = one Dereth-day per r12 §11, times some scale factor baked into the dat).

Cross-check notes + +- **ACE server does not re-implement this.** DayGroup/ChanceOfOccur are parsed (`ACE.DatLoader/Entity/DayGroup.cs`) but ACE never picks a DayGroup — the server leaves sky-state to each client, relying on every client running the same deterministic function on the same `(Year, DayOfYear)`.

Gaps + +None critical. Two minor open items: + +1. **`_DAT_007c6f10` exact bit value.** I inferred `1.0/2^32` from usage pattern but did not find a data-section dump that prints the literal. If the live client ever shows off-by-one drift on a boundary day, re-verify by dumping the .rdata section at 0x007c6f10. (ACDREAM_DUMP_SKY already logs picked index + inputs; we can correlate against a retail client session to confirm.) + +2. **`TimeOfDay+0x10` value for live Dereth.** Retail `SecondsPerDay` has been quoted as both 1800 and 3600 in various reverse-engineering docs depending on whether "seconds" means realtime seconds or Dereth-clock seconds. The algorithm itself is insensitive — whatever integer the dat provides is what both retail and acdream must use. If our Region parser stores it in a differently-named field, make sure the call site passes the dat-raw value (the int at TimeOfDay+0x10), not a re-derived one. + +--- + +## 8.
