Akka's Diablo Loot Generator Script
 

This thing is pretty much the shit, it's a few years old but I've compiled it for all the people who have been wanting it over the years.

It is as is, have fun.

:D

Sounds need on the topic of randomization. For me personally my ideal randomization tool would just to select random 1-10, 1-100, or random 1-1000 and have a button to click to do that to a individual stat selected this could then either be added to the stat value or determine the stat value. It would be endlessly fun and a great way to spice up loot tables.

I liked how randomization was handled in UO for magic items. It wasn't so all over the place in terms of "RNG is RNG" randomization Diablo's known for.

Huh? You could easily extend this to have that functionality. Not making a whole lot of sense.

Hmmm never mind then I guess it's more flexible than I was thinking or understand it at least. I'll have to read the wiki on it in more depth at some point.

Knowom, I've stolen this and modified it to include chance drops, let me know if you'd like me to post.

'chance drops', what?

I don't even know, I broke the script lol.

Attempting to run 'perl DiabloLoot.pl' from my Server dir and am receiving:

DBI connect(':localhost:3306','',...) failed: Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO) at DiabloLoot.pl line 35
DBI connect(':localhost:3306','',...) failed: Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO) at DiabloLoot.pl line 36

I've installed ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/DBD-mysql.ppd

Am I missing something with my connect configuration?

You're not supplying a password. Do you have a password set? If you do, it won't let you connect, even if you're on localhost, without the password.

I was under the impression the script looked inside eqemu_config.xml for DB credentials.

If this isn't the case, does DBI need to be configured in some manner?

If it isn't looking into your eqemu_config.xml, yes, it will need the same database information used within the eqemu_config.xml.

It should read from the config file assuming it can find it in the current directory. If not it should print ""Unable to open config: eqemu_config.xml"

You could always modify the script to print what it found for those variables so you can maybe figure out where it went wrong.

ok trying to learn how to do all this so bare with me ... I followed what I could from the wiki and I have the diabloloot.pl in the plugins folder of my server but how do i run the script? i get this when i try ... DBD::mysql::st execute failed: No database selected at Diabloloot.pl line 109.

If you have DiabloLoot.pl in your plugin folder need to move it your your actually server directory folder in order to run it properly.
